"FATHER, WHO SHOULD I FOLLOW?"

Post date: Mar 18, 2018 11:59:47 PM

There are so many safety places around but which one is actually safe enough for you and which one should we go to? There are many safe things to do, but which one is good enough and safe enough for you to do? Is there any better alternative to what you are doing or desiring to do hereafter? Is there any better alternative to where you are now or where you are going or desiring to go hereafter? Christians should know that as many questions as we have so are they many confusion and consequences waiting to take advantage of us if we become victims of foolishness in the final decision we settle in. One of the greatest gifts from God to every living human being irrespective of location, education, gender, wealth, profession, or religion is the freedom of choice and how you use this freedom and where you go from thereafter is largely dependent on the information and counsel you have, the motivation you give yourself to follow, the expectations in and of your heart, and mostly your relationship with the word of God that you hear and meditate daily. God had given every one of us the power to make decisions, choices, and to stand up for something in life and we should know that every decision and the choice we will ever make will definitely take us somewhere in life. It is imperative that you follow someone or something and that someone should follow you.

Who should you follow, who are you following, who is following you? “Many of his disciples said, this is very hard to understand. How can anyone accept it? Jesus was aware that his disciples were complaining, so he said to them, does this offend you? Then what will you think if you see the Son of Man ascend to heaven again?The Spirit alone gives eternal life. Human effort accomplishes nothing. And the very words I have spoken to you are spirit and life. But some of you do not believe me. For Jesus knew from the beginning which ones didn’t believe, and he knew who would betray him. Then he said, that is why I said that people can’t come to me unless the Father gives them to me. At this point, many of his disciples turned away and deserted him. Then Jesus turned to the Twelve and asked are you also going to leave?Simon Peter replied, Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life. We believe, and we know you are the Holy One of God. Then Jesus said, I chose the twelve of you, but one is a devil. He was speaking of Judas, son of Simon Iscariot, one of the Twelve, who would later betray him.” John 6:60-70

The power of choice manifested itself in the Garden of Eden, through their choice, Adam and Eve lost the best place God gave them and plunged themselves into hardship and wondering and unsatiable desires thereafter; through the power of choice Abraham changed his life and his generation for good forever; through the power of choice, Abraham believed God, followed God and God rewarded him; through the power of choice, Noah followed the word of God and carried out His instructions and he was saved, delivered and rewarded together with his family. Are you following God or men or yourself? You cannot follow God without a blessing; you cannot follow His words without obedience; you cannot follow God without a reward, and you cannot follow God without reaching the destiny He had set for you even when you so often make mistakes life and are prone to making one right now. One thing I want you to know is that you cannot follow yourself and reach God’s destiny for your life; you cannot follow people to reach God’s destiny for your life, and you cannot follow your instincts and be obedient to God. Your instinct is as weak as you and it may be wrong, and many do not even know who to follow. Make a choice to follow God’s words and God will direct your heart and steps thereafter. No one leads his or herself, a good leader has someone to follow and depend on directly. You are either led by God’s words or the words or ideas of men, or the vanity of your thoughts. When others left, Peter told Jesus you have the word of eternal life and that is what we are following. For prayer Click here
