Day 1: No Longer a Fan, But a Follower

Reading: Philippians 3:7-11

The Apostle Paul considered everything loss compared to knowing Christ. This isn't casual admiration—it's radical surrender. Many of us have been fans of Jesus, cheering from a distance, but Christ calls us to be followers who deny ourselves daily. Today, examine your relationship with Jesus. Are you holding anything back? Paul didn't just appreciate Jesus; he abandoned everything to gain Him. The surpassing worth of knowing Christ means laying down our achievements, comforts, and securities. What "gains" in your life need to become loss for Christ's sake? True discipleship begins when we stop applauding from the sidelines and step onto the field, fully committed to following wherever He leads, regardless of cost.
