Hello saints, in this episode today we are firstly reminded of how both Old and New Testament servants of God had elders who had to act responsibly over their disciples, and thus that disciples of God through Christ must be prepared to be corrected, disciplined and obedient also to those who have been given earthly stewardship over their development in the faith and ministry. We then venture onto where Jesus speaks of the mentality of consecrating him when he challenges us that unless we hate our lives, Mothers, sisters, brothers, etc we cannot be His disciple. We attempt to qualify this charge for our benefit without interpreting it away as if it was something light. And we conclude with how the individual's life on earth is likened to a corn of wheat that unless dies (to self), cannot bear fruit - this being the central message for New Testament servants, the cross like Jesus our Master, the dying to self, like Jesus who did not count it robbery to have equality with God. Do we consider dying to self to be a form of robbery of ourselves or counted as pure joy because of Him who has bought us by His blood?
