Luke 9:23-24 "Then He said to them all, If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it."
What if God asked you to give up everything you've worked hard for to follow Him? Would you obey? or would you forfeit your place in Heaven for the temporal things of this world? After all, everything you have is His anyway, could He not return it 2, 4, or 10 fold?
Jesus may not literally ask you to follow Him in present day, but as a believer you have a job to do in the Kingdom that calls for you to let go of some things to fulfill your purpose. When Jesus choose His disciples they did not hesitate which is an example of how we should respond when God instructs us. When God speaks into your life do not be afraid to act because He would not give you a task that He will not provide the provisions for you to achieve.
Deny yourself, put aside your selfish desires, and follow God.
