follow and obey. great multitudes will follow you.

the message that god brings to the people is

Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand (matthew 4)

as i read, i realise that this is the message of my mission too. the lord has led me to SIM for a purpose - a big purpose that god himself will bring to pass and this is the message to share with the youths.

i cannot understand how god's mission will be accomplished but lean not on my own understanding, in all my ways acknowledge god and he will make our paths straight. amen.

Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” 20 They immediately left their nets and followed Him.

there is one action that god will do for us - make us fishers of men. but we have 2 actions that we must make - Follow christ and leave our nets.

follow christ is to love and obey him first. how can you follow someone whom you do not love and trust?

to follow christ is to listen to his commands and to obey, it is also to imitate what jesus says and does.

first god invited us to follow him, then we decide to follow him.

leaving our nets in this context implies leaving our source of livelihood and depending on god.

are we relying on our income and job or on the provision of jehovah jireh?

teach us to rely on you, dear lord.

what did jesus do during his ministry?

And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people.

he taught the word of god, preached the gospel of god's kingdom and he healed.

what is the consequence of these actions?

he had great fame and Great multitudes followed Him.

in order to have young people following me, i must also teach the word of god which applies to them ( god gives me the wisdom to do it) and heal their diseases.

diseases refer not only to physical infirmities but also emotional mental ones. so the great jehovah rappha the healer will use me to bring comfort and healing to the broken hearted and lost all over asia.

amen.

not by my strength but by the power of god's spirit. amen.
