True and deeper discipleship is cultivated by continually dwelling in and living according to My word.

What does it mean to be My disciple? My disciples are My chosen ones. They are those who have decided to follow Me without hesitation or retreat. They are not preoccupied with worldly affairs or swayed by its temptations. They are devoted to Me, diligent in their service, and committed to My work. My disciples treat every word of Mine as a precious gemstone, ensuring it is never lost. They are dedicated to My teachings, and their lives and actions reflect My words and commandments.

Yes! You believe in Me. Yes! You honor My word. But the true test of discipleship is living out the word you have heard. When Jesus spoke about His disciples in the Bible, He clearly defined who they were: those ready to abide by My words through Him, regardless of the cost. This standard remains unchanged today.

My Word is Your Treasure

In a world overflowing with deceit, it is easy to be swayed by false doctrines and sweetened lies, all masquerading as My truth. People will try to deceive you with persuasive speeches, claiming to know and love Me. However, you must remain steadfast and not be misled. These individuals seek to divert others from following My word.

A true disciple stands firm and continually returns to My word, seeking to understand and know Me personally. Like the beloved Bereans in the Bible, they did not merely listen to My servants but also diligently verified the teachings themselves. They sought to ensure the accuracy of what they heard, avoiding any chance of being misled.

If you truly desire to be My disciple, you must cherish My word as a treasure. It should be the foundation of your life. Every word you speak, every action you take, every activity you engage in, and every principle you uphold should reflect My word within you. There should be no doubt in anyone's mind that you have been with Me, as your life will mirror the essence of My son.

Complete Surrender to Me

My disciples live in total surrender to Me. They are unmoved by the distractions of life and remain steadfast in My word. When you are truly My disciples, you will live in complete submission to My will, fully yielding to My word. My commandments and instructions will guide you. You will diligently study your Bible every day, living out My word. No one will easily sway you from My teachings because you have not only learned them but also made them the standard of your living.

Even when others mock you for choosing Me, you remain unshaken. Even when there seems to be no immediate reward for your work in My name, you are not disheartened. Why? Because you understand that your reward is far greater than anything this world can offer. Your reward is eternal, dear child, and far more powerful.
