Radical Disciples – A Remnant Revolution

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. (Matt 6:33)

We need to take into consideration everything in our lives and lay them on the table before the Lord and truthfully ask Him – Lord, are these things what you desire for me? I believe that often times we seek after to accumulate and establish things that may be good, yet they are not the desire of God.

When we look at everything in our lives, if Jesus Christ is not the central focus point then they do not bring Him Glory. My marriage struggled in the early years yet once we made Jesus the very central point, there was a harmony, strength and love that has become the foundation of our marriage, because Jesus is the Rock upon which our marriage stands.

Are we building to promote who we are, or are we establishing Kingdom to promote who Jesus is?

There are ministries that putter along and even though their focus may be on the prophetic, deliverance, healing or discipleship if the main focus is not Christ, the Father has no desire to pour out His blessing.

And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. (Col 1:18)

He has established His Son in the position for everything in Heaven and earth to worship Him. Yet in much of the Church Jesus is the theme but not the central focus.

How can we expect the nations to honor Jesus in His rightful place among them when we the Church resist doing so. God’s purpose is that the Church reveal on earth, both individually and corporately, the centrality of the Lamb, Jesus Christ in our midst.

We’ve built Churches that are driven by the personality of the senior pastor, ministries that are focused on its leaders. Until we make Jesus Christ the focus point in every area of our lives, we can not and will not walk in our inheritance of Victory and power. We will not be able to release the Glory of the Lord to the world.

So again, take everything in your life, put it on the table and ask the Father “Is this purposed by You Father, or out of my own agenda and desire?

In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples. (Luke 14:33)

Are you radical enough to settle for nothing but the Will of the Father? In order to be a true disciple of Jesus Christ, you must.
