COUNT THE COST I Commitment or Involvement?
Winning the lost at all cost is the battlecry of those people deeply challenged to follow Jesus after a tear drenched encounter with God. Following Jesus is not based on random initial impulse or impetus. It is a serious thing not based on overstimulated emotion. Much more it is based on a firm steadfast decision. In the same way as we all know, love is not an emotion but a decision. In following Jesus, commitment played a very vital role. The best picture of commitment is a skydiver. He is willing to jump no matter if the parachute would open or not. Many who entered serving the Lord easily gave up simply because they just responded to the hype of the moment. Other reason is that SELF started to kick in because of some pressing needs and their life purpose was shove off to the other side of the fence. This topic that we are about to delve into will give us an insight that saying 'yes' to the Lord is not because you copied somebody's response to the challenges. Serving God is a PERSONAL thing. Serving is between you and God? Pause for a moment and check out. What do you have? Commitment? or Involvement?
QUESTIONS TO PONDER:
1. What do you think would be the repercussion of a person unprepared for bigger challenges?
2. In your personal definition, what is COMMITMENT? Give illustrative example of something or someone that demonstrates commitment.
3. What are those things that you think are threat to your PERSONAL COMMITMENT of SERVING GOD?

Jesus teaches that to truly follow him as a disciple requires considering the high cost, just as a builder considers the cost of construction or a king considers the strength of his army before going to war. Would-be disciples must be willing to put Jesus above all else, including family and their own lives, and take up their cross daily. Half-heartedly following is not sufficient; true discipleship demands giving up everything to honor God with one's life.
To truly follow Christ requires considering the high cost. Jesus said that to be his disciple one must hate all other people and possessions, even one's own life, and carry their own cross. Salt is only good if it maintains its saltiness; otherwise it is useless. We must put Christ above all else in life, as we were bought with a high price through his sacrifice. True salvation is free but demands everything from the follower, who must be willing to give up comforts and possessions to fully serve God.

This passage from Luke 14:25-33 discusses what it means to be a disciple of Jesus. It says that one cannot be Jesus' disciple unless they:
1) Give up everything they have, including their family and their own life, which represents total abandonment.
2) Love Jesus above all else, even more than their own life, which represents total adoration.
3) Are fully committed to following Jesus and carrying their cross, giving their total allegiance.
Jesus tells crowds that to be his disciple requires putting him before all else, even family and one's own life. He uses three illustrations to emphasize the cost of discipleship: 1) Discipleship demands loving God more than any family relationship. 2) It requires being willing to endure hardship as if carrying one's own cross to execution. 3) One must count the cost fully and be willing to surrender everything to follow Jesus, just as a king would surrender to avoid needless war.

It discusses several Bible passages that emphasize how one must be fully committed to following Christ, even if it means giving up family or possessions.

Several examples are given of how Christ challenges would-be disciples to demonstrate their willingness to make any sacrifice to follow Him.
The document outlines the training process required to become a disciple of Jesus. It discusses embracing Jesus as both teacher and master.

The goal is to be perfectly trained like one's teacher through this discipleship process.
The two disciples walking to Emmaus were discussing the recent crucifixion of Jesus with a stranger who joined them. Although they did not recognize him, it was Jesus who rebuked them for their lack of faith and explained how the prophecies foretold his suffering. When he broke bread with them, their eyes were opened and they recognized him as the risen Lord before he vanished. They then urgently shared the news with the other disciples in Jerusalem.
Jesus had some strong words to share while eating at the Pharisee's house. His words are still true. For those who listen, they are life. True Christian doctrine starts with what Jesus said.

This passage from Luke 14:26 discusses the commitment required to be a disciple of Jesus. It states that one cannot be Jesus' disciple if they do not hate their father, mother, wife, children, brothers, sisters, and even their own life in comparison to their commitment to follow God. The passage emphasizes that being a disciple requires putting one's commitment to God above all other family and personal relationships and priorities.
Following Jesus requires counting the cost and forsaking all things for Him. The Bible tells stories of people who were unwilling to give up what they had to follow Christ. True disciples confess Jesus as Lord and submit to Him above all else. They are willing to suffer persecution by preaching the gospel. Counting this cost involves realizing that nothing in this world compares to the treasure of God's kingdom.
The document discusses Jesus' crucifixion and the physical wounds he endured, including heavy sweating that caused bleeding, scourging with lashes, crowning with thorns, being nailed to the cross with 7-inch nails, and being pierced with a spear. These physical sufferings fulfilled prophecies and brought spiritual healing by forgiving sins and oppression, cleansing from sins and inner wounds, and taking away mockery and shame. Key passages from the Bible are referenced to support these points.

Many of us like Apostle Paul has that burning desire to serve the Lord. But along side in our journey, there are things or someone that seem to derail us from the God's eternal purpose for us.

WISDOM IS POWER: In your Getting, Get UnderstandingDestinyCabuyao
God blesses those who obey Him and bring their full tithes into His storehouse. God promises to "throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it" for those who honor Him with their tithes and offerings. However, some speak arrogantly against God and claim it is futile to serve Him. The document discusses the spiritual blessings believers have been given through Christ, including redemption, forgiveness, wisdom and understanding from God. It encourages gaining wisdom and understanding from God rather than mocking knowledge.
This document provides biblical passages that describe the creation of the heavens, earth, light, day and night, sky, land, seas, and vegetation over six days according to the book of Genesis. It then provides a passage from Hebrews that says faith is understanding that the universe was formed by God's command out of things that are invisible, not things that can be seen. Further passages discuss faith as a title deed, assurance, vision, like a mustard seed, and being sure without doubting. The document explores the nature and meaning of faith through various biblical references.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

2. 25 Large crowds
were traveling
with Jesus, and
turning to them
he said:
LUKE 14:25
3. 26 “If anyone
comes to me and
does not hate
father and
mother, wife and
children, brothers
and sisters—yes,
even their own
life—such a
person cannot be
my DISCIPLE. LUKE 14:26
4. 27 And whoever
does not carry their
cross and follow me
cannot be my
disciple.
LUKE 14:27
5. 28 “Suppose one of
you wants to build a
tower. Won’t you first
sit down and
estimate the cost to
see if you have
enough money to
complete it?
LUKE 14:28
6. 29 For if you lay the
foundation and are
not able to finish it,
everyone who sees
it will ridicule you,
LUKE 14:29
8. 31 “Or suppose a king is
about to go to war
against another king.
Won’t he first sit down
and consider whether
he is able with ten
thousand men to
oppose the one
coming against him
with twenty thousand?
LUKE 14:31
9. 32 If he is not able,
he will send a
delegation while
the other is still a
long way off and
will ask for terms of
peace.
LUKE 14:32
10. 33 In the same
way, those of you
who do not give
up everything you
have cannot be
my disciples.
LUKE 14:33
11. 34 “Salt is good,
but if it loses its
SALTINESS, how
can it be made
salty again?
LUKE 14:34
12. 35 It is fit neither for
the soil nor for the
manure pile; it is
thrown out.
“Whoever has ears
to hear, let them
hear.”
LUKE 14:35
16. 26 “If anyone comes
to me and does not
hate father and
mother, wife and
children, brothers
and sisters—yes,
EVEN THEIR OWN
LIFE—such a person
cannot be my
disciple. LUKE 14:26
17. 27 And whoever
does not carry
their cross and
follow me cannot
be my disciple.
LUKE 14:27
28. 19 Do you not
know that your
bodies are
temples of the
Holy Spirit, who is in
you, whom you
have received
from God? You
are not your own; 1 COR. 6:19
29. 20 you were
bought at a
price. Therefore
honor God with
your bodies.
1 COR. 6:20
33. Jesus replied, “No
one who puts a
hand to
the plow and looks
back is fit for
service in the
kingdom of God.”
LUKE 9:62
34. 58 Jesus
replied, “Foxes
have dens and
birds have nests,
but the Son of
Man has no place
to lay his head.”
LUKE 9:58
35. SALVATION is
absolutely free, but
once you receive it,
it costs you
everything. To truly
follow Christ, we
must consider the
cost and put Him
above everything
else.
