We thank God for how He has been teaching us through this podcasts channel about the true gospel of Jesus Christ that the pastors nowadays are no longer preaching. Today's topic is another one of Bible's teachings that we are told to encourage ourselves with. Today we are discussing, taking up your cross to follow Jesus. The pastors today are turning church and Christianity to forcing God to do things for you. Yes God told us we should pray and ask things from Him every time, but it is also the teaching of the Bible that we will have times God may want us to suffer for the sake of the gospel, there will be times we have to suffer because we choose to fear God like Joseph who said how can I do this and sin against God when his boss wife asked him to sleep with her, he chose to go to the prison than committing such sin against God. Jesus said if the world hated Him then they will hate us too because servant is not greater than the master. Meaning, there will be times as a content creator that what you do is preaching the gospel of Jesus, in your mind you are doing the right things and so you are expecting much views and subscribers, but it doesn't happen that way because the people love darkness because their works is evil, the light you are shining to them will reveal their wickedness and they don't want it, that's why churches that don't preach salvation have more crowd, because sinners feel comfortable in such gatherings, they can continue in their sinful ways while still claiming to be Christians who go to church and give offerings in church even sow seed to the pastors. The pastors are making people put attention on themselves instead of pointing people's attention to Jesus Christ and to heaven. If you choose to do things right, you won't have large audience from the beginning, it will take some time for God to finally bring the large increase you desire. Because God usually builds a strong foundation before He brings greatness so that one doesn't come down suddenly because of fame or wealth. But people of the world can do anything for sudden fame and wealth not minding building on faulty foundation and that is why they come down badly injured from greatness after a short while of enjoying the wealth and fame. This podcast is encouraging us to choose the way of God, the way of the cross, the narrow way that leads to life eternal. May God help us. It's not easy that's why God is encouraging us with this podcast to keep us in the way of God.
