John 12:24-26 “24 Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain. 25 He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26 If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor."

Our God Is Calling On Us - To GIVE-UP!
GOD Gave-Up His Son! In John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that He gave... (His only begotten Son),..." Romans 8:32, "He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up ...(for us all,)...?" Jesus Christ Gave-Up His Life! - Philip 2:5-11. GAVE-UP His Royalty - vs. 6, "who, being in the form of God, ….equal with God,“ GAVE-UP His Reputation - vs. 7, “but made Himself of no reputation, … of men.“ GAVE-UP His Rights - vs. 8, "And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross."

How Do We Overcome these Challenges To Give-Up?
The ELEMENT and ROLE of the Holy Spirit is the KEY for US to GIVE-UP totally for the kingdom of God to EXPAND!

The SECOND one is, the Baptism of Fire - Power to serve in His kingdom! - Acts 10:38; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:1-4.
