 (Third part)

Memory verse: John 8:12 : “ Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life ”

Following Jesus

We come to Jesus to walk with him, to follow him.

We come to Jesus for more than getting our broken hearts healed, our debts paid, our yokes destroyed, our prayers answered, our bodies healed etc, we come to Jesus so that he can change our lives, we come to him so that he may lead us out of darkness to begin a new walk in the light of God. Following Jesus means to listen to his voice, hear what he says to us and follow it.  It’s the application of God’s word that brings change in our lives  (Jam 1: 22-25)

Only Jesus can lead us as we walk the narrow pathway that leads to life, only Jesus can lead us in the living kingdom. Just as God said to the children of Israel, you’ve not walked this way before. The kingdom pathways are totally new and foreign to us since we were born and grew up in sin, when we come to Jesus there’s always a gravitational force pulling us back into the sinful old ways we were used to. But Jesus has come to help every one who come to him, he has not left us as orphans. He has sent us a comforter, the Holy Spirit; He has not left us ignorant, but he has given us a teacher, the Holy Spirit; He has not left us helpless, but he has sent us a helper, in the Holy Spirit; He has not left us in darkness, but he has given us the light of life; He has not left us to starve spiritually but he has given us the bread of life; He has not left us confused but he has revealed to us the wisdom that God has hidden for ages for our glory; He has not left us at the mercy of the devil but he has given us authority and power to trample Satan under our feet.

He has given us everything we need for life. You can be sure Jesus will guide you surely, safely and securely. You can be sure as you follow Jesus you’ll never thirst again. He knows the way and yet he is the way and you’ll not be lost. Even if the economies of the world sink into recession you’ll rise higher with Jesus. Gross darkness is covering the nations but you’ll shine. Even if floods come to sweep away the world, you’ll float over them. Follow Jesus, trust his word and walk on it. Build your life, family, marriage, business, ministry etc on him and his word. Let all storm, shakings and floods find you securely founded upon Jesus and his word. You’ll stand in the storm! You’ll laugh when calamity comes!

Tomorrow we'll talk about the wisdom of God. Be blessed

We continue the teachings tomorrow morning.
