Glory be to God! ** 🙋🏾♀️ STAY TUNED UNTIL THE VERY END OF THIS EPISODE! ** 🚩TUNE IN EVERY 2 TO 3 DAYS FOR NEW EPISODES! Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker 😊💥 Join me today as I discuss: Jesus commanded us in the second half of the Great Commission to teach others to observe ALL that He has commanded us. We first need to know the commands ourselves well enough so that we can teach others to observe them.
When Jesus tells us to follow Him, He doesn’t mean to subscribe to His updates on social media 🤦🏾♀️! 'Follow’ has come to mean a click of a button that indicates a momentary interest in reading other things someone has written. The truth is, we can’t really follow thousands of people. All too soon our social media feed becomes clogged with stuff we are simply not interested in. The Lord Jesus Christ is calling for us to follow Him in a much stronger sense. He commands us to follow only Him:
👉🏾“If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.” (Matt. 16:24–25)
👉🏾“Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men.” (Mark 1:17)
👉🏾“I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12)
👉🏾“Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead.” (Matt. 8:22)
👉🏾“If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” (Matt. 19:21)
👉🏾“If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me!” (John 21:22).
👉🏾“I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6)
A disciple is quite simply a follower of someone else. Following Jesus is about a series of tiny decisions that we make every single day of our lives. We decide a thousand times a day to either follow Jesus’ way, or to slavishly follow the "world," as it is inspired by our enemy, the devil. All the while, we are deluded into thinking we are going our own way! Every time we make a wrong decision, it takes us further away from our Maker! Therefore, follow Jesus and obey His commands, for the Day of Judgment is fastly approaching! Amen! Be holy. Live clean. 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!
