WHAT IS IT THAT YOU HAVE FOUND? (2)

• True surrender is never impulsive; it’s born out of revelation. The man who sold his all did so after considering the value of what he
  found. He assessed, estimated, and concluded that what he found was greater than all he already had (Luke 14:28).

• Between discovery and decision lies a critical factor: Time. The “man” in Jesus’ parable did not act on a whim. He went, sold all he had,
  and returned to buy the field. In like manner, every true encounter must stand the test of time (Matthew 13:44).

• Since the time you encountered Jesus and discovered the kingdom, what have you truly been willing to let go of in order to fully embrace all that is in Christ?

• Discipleship is a building process. If you don’t count the cost, you may start well but not finish. Building your spiritual life requires patience
  and endurance (Luke 14:29-30, Philippians 1:6).

• Discipleship is also warfare. No one goes to battle unprepared. We cannot be like Ephraim who turned back in the day of battle, for greater
  is He that is in us (Luke 14:31-32, Psalm 78:9, 1 John 4:4).

• The rich young ruler is a perfect example of men who possess all yet lacks one vital thing: love for God and neighbour. If he really loved God, he would have left all to follow Jesus (Mark 10:17-22).
