DAY TWENTY-ONE | Commit to Ongoing Discipleship

Writer's picture: Pastor Terry WrightPastor Terry Wright

January 21, 2025 | 21 Days of Prayer & Fasting

TODAY’S PRAYER POINT

Pray for strength and determination to commit to a lifelong journey of discipleship and to impact others for Christ.


BIBLE VERSE | Luke 9:23  

“And He was saying to them all, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me.”


In this pivotal moment, Jesus lays out the blueprint for what it truly means to be a Disciple - to follow Him.


The call to discipleship is not a one-time event; it’s a daily commitment that requires us to:

  • DENY YOURSELF

    • Let go of our personal ambitions, desires, and even comforts that stand in the way of our relationship with Christ.

    • It’s an invitation to prioritize His will over our own.

  • TAKE UP YOUR CROSS

    • Embracing the difficulties and challenges that come with following Christ.

    • Choose to live with purpose and integrity in the face of trials.

  • FOLLOW JESUS

    • Discipleship is about cultivating a relationship with Him, learning from His teachings, and demonstrating His love in our actions.

    • Listen for His voice, as He guides you in decision-making and interactions with others, and respond with obedience.


APPLICATION

As you conclude this 21-day journey:

  • Choose one area in your life where you can deny yourself for the sake of following Christ more closely.

  • It could be a habit you need to break, a kind act you can perform, or a conversation you need to have.

  • Write it down and pray for God’s guidance as you take this step in your discipleship journey.

In Jesus' name, I pray~ Amen.
