Following Jesus is a new way of living
it is a transformation, you get changed
because you are not the same person any more
you are not interested in the same things any more
you are not interested in your SELF any more
you are interested in Jesus
in the Kingdom of God
Jesus is your King and your Master
of every moment of your life
and you seek to please Him every moment of your life
it is a constant relationship where you are constantly focused on Jesus
and tuned in to Him
it is not a matter of education
or knowledge
it is a relationship
you cannot learn to be a Christian
you cannot become a follower of Christ by proselyting
by reading the Bible
that doesn't make you a Christian
what makes you a Christian is a connection with Jesus
you have met Jesus
that makes the difference
and now because you have met Him you want to follow Him
and you treasure your relationship with Him
above everything else
every moment of your life
that is what it is about
it's not about bible Knowledge, people it's not about the scriptures
it is about your relationship with Christ
you are busy with Him every moment of your life
and you are seeking to please Him
He puts His Spirit in us to guide us into all truth
and we need to learn to trust Him
to ask of Him, to wait on Him
and when you are praying and asking Jesus for something, for wisdom, and you say: Lord, what must I do, where must I work?
then you WAIT on Him and He will guide your footsteps
If you have a problem that you have taken to Him, you leave it there, you pray about it and you say: Lord, I have this problem
and I am bringing it to You, I don't know what to do
But in everything we are seeking to glorify Jesus and to please Him, not our selves
If we are focused on our problems we go away fom Jesus
We must be focused on Christ It is a way of living, being focused on Jesus
every moment of your life
and He said: Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all the other things will be added unto you
He knows what you need!
Sometimes we pray and we don't get a reply
and now we are worried, that God is not going to answer my prayers
My friend, we must worry about Jesus about the Kingdom of God, about being witnesses for Christ
about living righteously about pleasing Him
and He will look after all the other things
He can, He is God Almighty, my friend, nothing, nothing but nothing, not the slightest thought slips His eye
or His attention, He knows about everything
but we need to focus on Him. It is a NEW WAY OF LIVING
it is a constant awareness, every moment of your life
When you wake up in the morning you are still with Him
King David said: Lord, I slept and I woke up and I was still with Thee
That is what it is about
It is about being constantly aware of Jesus Christ
every moment of your life
and when theings go wrong, they are going right because you have entrusted our life into the hands of the living God
and you trust Him with your life
because He IS your life
you are living your life to please Him
and in everything you thank Him
in good and in bad. When things go well it is His hand, when things go not so well it is also His hand
because He knows what I need and He is teaching me, He is coaching me He is guiding me
and He is forming me into what He wants me to be
but I have to focus on Him
My new way of living, as a Christian is, seeking to please Jesus
saying: Lord, I want to know more about You about your Kingdom
Please reveal yourself to me, Lord Jesus, I want to get to know You better, Lord!
"You must become more real to me every day" And He will, my friend
but we have got to focus on Jesus every moment of our lives
We have our ideas of what we think is a good occupation, or whatever, It doesn't matter!
What matters is: Where does God want to put me? Where does Jesus want to use me?
How would i know? I wouldn't know I just trust Him, becaus ehe guides the footsteps of His children
We plan out ways, but God guides our footsteps
so, why plan? We must put our sight on Christ, fix our sight on Christ and seek Jesus, and He will reveal Himself to us
We will walk by faith. Walking by faith is walking into darkness. You don't know what is going to happen
but you know that Jesus is in control
and He can not let your foot slip
He is faithful We make mistakes, but He cannot fail and as long as I am focused on Jesus
I am safe, but when I start focussing on my problems, and I want to help God, it is then when things go wrong
because I am fallible
We have to focus on Jesus, my friend
trust Him with all our heart
wait on Him, trust Him with ALL OUR HEART
and we will really get to know Him
It is a way of living It is not education
it is a RELATIONSHIP
following the King of kings and the Lord of lords being aware of Him, every moment of your life
when you wake up at night, He is still there
because He is GOD, He is God Almighty become aware of Him
It is a NEW WAY OF LIVING
Submit your life to Jesus, my friend trust Him, seek Him, obey Him commit to Him totally
focus on Him, every moment and you will get to now Him
May Jesus bless you �
