Can you called yourself as disciple of Jesus?

Luke 14:26 (King James Version)
26If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

Luke 14:26 (New International Version)
"If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be my disciple.


In Lk 14:26, how are Jesus' disciples supposed to "hate" their father, mother, wife, children, and brothers?
A: The context of both this passage and their culture, based on the Mosaic Law would interpret this to mean "love less". For example, in Deuteronomy 21:15, when it speaks of a man who loves one of his wives more than the other, the word here is "hate". Matthew 10:37 shows that Jesus' point is that we are not to love our parents more than we love God.
See Hard Sayings of the Bible p.475-476 and the Complete Book of Bible Answers p.56-57 for more info.

Q In Lk 14:26, how would Jesus' teaching about parents relate to the law?
A: Three points to consider in the answer.
1. Jesus' listeners were all familiar with the Mosaic Law concerning parents, and Jesus knew that.
2. Jesus' point was one of balance. Loving God is the first commandment, and loving others is the second, not the other way around.
3. If your love or loyalty to parents, children, or anyone else, is greater than your love and loyalty to God, your priorities need to change. It is possible for even good things to become idols.

Pls look at others translation

Luke 14:26 (New Living Translation)"If you want to be my follower you must love me more than[ a] your own father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters--yes, more than your own life. Otherwise, you cannot be my disciple.

Luke 14:26 (Contemporary English Version) You cannot be my disciple, unless you love me more than you love your father and mother, your wife and children, and your brothers and sisters. You cannot come with me unless you love me more than you love your own life.
Luke 14:26 (New Life Version) "If any man comes to Me and does not have much more love for Me than for his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, and even his own life, he cannot be My follower.

Luke 14:26 (The Message) "Anyone who comes to me but refuses to let go of father, mother, spouse, children, brothers, sisters--yes, even one's own self!-can't be my disciple.

Can you called yourself as disciple of Jesus? Are you willing to carry the cross and follow Him? Are you willing to pay the price for His anointing?

It's all by His grace and strength. With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.

Access The Supernatural

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, (Eph 1:3 ESV)

God has blessed us by giving us every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. The spiritual weapons that God has given to CKRM is to activate and empower the spiritual gifts in the body of Christ. We need to be earnestly desire for the spiritual gifts and press on toward the goal, so that we can win the prize of being called to heaven. This is the prize that God offers because of what Christ Jesus has done. I'm off and running, and I'm not turning back. (Php 3:14 MSG)

After this I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven! And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this." (Rev 4:1 ESV)

God is speaking this verse today. God is saying, "Come up here, Come up higher, Come up into the supernatural, Come up into the Glory Realm, Come up into Heavenly Places that you will be blessed in every spiritual blessings in the heavenly realm!"

The time is coming where the end time harvester rise up to do the greater works as in John 14:12. Access has been given to us like no other generation before. We are the signs and wonders for the nation of Israel (Isaiah 8:18). Christ has open up a new and living way for us. We all have an access into the throne of God, we all have access to come boldly into the throne of grace in time of need.
