NEVER ASHAMED OF HIM
Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of
my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels (Mark 8:38).
There’re some people who are ashamed to be identified with Jesus and His Church; how tragic that is! Your oneness with the Lord is the greatest, most sublime and royal identity ever. Celebrate it at every opportunity. Seize every moment to glorify Jesus Christ. Let your love for Him be loud and unequivocal.
If you’re ashamed to let the world—your friends, family members,
colleagues, etc.—know that you belong to Jesus Christ and are a member of the household of faith, the Master also will be ashamed to
acknowledge you before the Father and the angels.
Irrespective of anyone’s perception of Christ and of Christianity, you’re in the most dignified, honourable, and transcendent union there is. You’re an associate of the God-kind, a God-carrying vessel, a bearer of the divine order and conveyor of eternal verities.
Be unapologetic in declaring your oneness with Jesus Christ and
your unalloyed commitment to Him, His Kingdom, and the Church.
Nothing, and no one, should ever make you distance yourself from Christ or repudiate your faith in Him. Even the fiercest threats or persecution from the adversary shouldn’t get you to cower. Hallelujah!
CONFESSION
I glorify Christ and celebrate my identity with Him. I proudly confess
and acknowledge the Lord before men and rejoice in my association
with God’s saints. My inextricable oneness with the Lord is the greatest blessing of my life; and I declare my unwavering allegiance to Christ, His Church, and the spread of the Gospel, forever. Hallelujah!
