A 100% Dose of Jesus
My question to us today is, what percentage of Jesus is your dose? Give me Jesus in the morning, give me Jesus in the evening, every minute of the day, give me Jesus. He’s my reason for living, He’s my source of survival, every minute of the day give me Jesus.
While in prayers one morning, I found myself praying for God to give me “a 100% dose of Himself”. With everything happening in the world and in my life, I unconsciously made this request, what came next was mind blowing. “Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution,” 2 Timothy 3:12. “If you were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you,” John 15:19.
I paused just after making this request, signifying my state of consciousness, only to hear “all of me includes all you are going through and will go through”. What a stinger! I quickly realized every resistance, persecution, hardship, every scrutiny I face and will face is to build my spiritual muscle. Many times we only want the good, the prosperity that comes with becoming and living a Christian life but Christianity is also about the hardships. When Jesus came to earth He was 100% God and 100% man and He suffered much. “If we suffer, we will also reign with Him; if we deny Him, He will also deny us,” 2 Timothy 2:12.
John 3:16, “for God so loved the world (us), that He gave His only begotten Son,” a Son that suffered while proving to us His Agape Love. A 100% dose of Jesus requires us to suffer 100% for Him. Everyone will go through sufferings but not everyone's suffering is the same.
God Bless.
