Jesus has to be truly the Lord of our lives.
This can only happen until we fully renounce our lives, carry the Cross and relinquish the desire to direct our own paths in this world.
If we refused, then we will never be able to understand what it meant to be a real Christian or a true Disciple of Christ.
A true follower of Jesus is a person who has died to the soulish self, been born again of the Spirit, and who is now walking by faith in a precious relationship with the Lord.
Only then, we can say that God is sitting on the throne of our hearts and that we are the real subjects of His Kingdom.
