Summary
Discipleship requires three key conditions: first, loving Jesus supremely above all else, even family; second, daily taking up one's cross by refusing to harbor bitterness or offense against others; and third, relinquishing the sense of personal possession over all material things. The speaker emphasizes that these practices ensure Christ remains the supreme authority in one's life.

The first condition: Loving Jesus supremelyTo be a disciple, one must love Jesus more than even their own family or life itself.

The second condition: Carrying your own crossTaking up the cross means daily killing the 'self' that sits on the throne of the heart to let Christ rule instead.
The danger of allowing bitterness to returnIf we fail to keep self off the throne, old bitterness can return and allow the devil to accuse us before God.
The third condition: Not possessing anythingDiscipleship involves holding all possessions with an open hand, acknowledging that everything belongs to the Lord.
