IF YOU FOLLOW ME………

“Come follow Me” JESUS said “and I will make you fishers of men”. Mark 1:17. This was the calling given to the first disciples, as Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee.  Peter, Andrew, James and John as we read in Mark chapter 1 were basically fishermen and Jesus calls them out to fish for people. We read that at once they left their nets and followed Him. We need to practice this implicit obedience to the call of Jesus in our lives. To abide in the divine calling we need to “follow Him” throughout our life. In order to follow Him we need to recognize His presence and His voice!

The Lord has told us that His sheep would hear His voice; hence we cannot excuse ourselves of not hearing Him. We need to hear Him and more vital is obeying Him!!                                                        

Dear friend, in John chapter 21 we read the disciples had toiled all night and caught no fishes. When Jesus appeared to them in the early morning He called out to them and said “throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish. (John 21:6)

You may have labored much, toiled a lot yet in a state of emptiness and despair. Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look intently on Him and without reasoning or questioning just “follow Him” and you will see a wonderful harvest more than you can expect or imagine! May the Lord bless you abundantly!
