Do you know that you are not all you could be yet?

Good day my friends! I am so glad to welcome you again to the pages of our Daily word for Spiritual edification.

Today I want to share with you a powerful thought from Mathew 4: 18-20.

And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. 19And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.  20And they straightway left their nets, and followed him”

In the above passage, Jesus saw two brothers trying to catch fish by the sea side and immediately recognized that they have a better destiny, so He instructed them to follow Him. This word of God to you today is this: Follow me and I will make you.

Do you know that you are not all you could be yet? Only the Lord knows who you are created to be and He wants to make you become who you are really created to be. That is why He said “I will make you”.

Peter and His brother were created to be Fishers of men, but they did not know that until they started to follow Christ.

The bible said they straightway left their nets, and followed him. Their destiny was changed that very day. That was the point the Lord began to make them into who they were created to be.

You cannot make yourself. You need the hand of the master potter Himself. That is the point of this message. Allow the potter to mould you into the person you are created and ordained to be. As clay is useless unless it is submitted to the hand of the potter, so will our lives be wasted until we learn to follow Him.

The only condition for Him to make you is to follow Him. Follow Me and I WILL MAKE YOU, is the clear instruction!

Have you made up your mind to follow Him? Is your decision to follow Him affecting your life and actions on a daily basis? Peter and Andrew left their nets and back up their decision with a definite action, are you still holding unto some nets that are hindering you to follow the Master and the Potter?

Those are the screening God want you to do today.

And by the way, WHAT DOES IT MEANS TO FOLLOW ANOTHER, – TO FOLLOW CHRIST?

Among all things, following Christ mean

  1. To obey Him. Follow His teaching, commandments and instruction

  2. To yield or submit to His correction

  3. To set His life before you as an example.

The scriptures says “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds”

We are to follow His actions, his steps and His examples. From today on turn this into your prayer: “Lord as I follow you, I thank you for making me and turning my destiny loose”May the Almighty Lord bless you abundantly this day!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

  • Why we can’t grow spiritually if we do not serve others?

    Here is one of the reasons why we can’t grow spiritually if we do not serve others. If we do not serve we become like those who only receive and not give out. Sooner or later such a person starts to stink spiritually. Look at any body of water that water flows into but doesn’t flow out of. After some time this water becomes stagnant and lifeless.
  • Sin and lawlessness of people defile the earth and causes it to cast off the people living on it

    Righteousness exalts a person and his people.When a nation turns away from his evil ways and the violence of their hands, then the new times come; joy comes instead of joy and triumph comes instead of tragedy. An entire nation can fall under the judgment of God because of the sins of its people. Sodom and Gomorrah is a clear example of how sin brings a destruction and tragedy into the life of a whole nation.
  • The Bible calls us to ALWAYS PRAY AND NOT LOSE HEART

    The whole world lies in wickedness and darkness, but, looking at the people that have made prayer their priority #1, you realize that – so to speak – they are from another planet; they do not live in darkness because they seem shining. They have problems and their life is not any different, but they approach their problems in a different way and they look forward into the future in a different way. Prayer so alters their lives and strengthens their relationships with God that they do not notice things that others do.
  • Life without prayer is a road to nowhere

    When a person repents, he can start developing his prayer life. We must know that God does not turn away from us even when we do not pray. God is very patient and He wants us to understand that without prayer we are spiritually weak and unable to enter the things He has prepared for us. Effective prayer is the thing that opens a way for us and allows God to walk ahead of us. God waits until we come to full realization of it. He is good to His children, but His goodness must lead us to repentance. Many people do not understand it. Sometimes we do things that go against God’s orders and at the same time we feel like it is alright.
  • The Kingdom of God III

    Jesus brought God’s Kingdom to this earth and He wants us to be involved in the process of expanding His Kingdom here, on the earth. God wants His Kingdom to triumph over the earth. And there is no need to discuss whether it is going to happen or not, – this matter is already resolved; it will surely happen. What you need to decide is whether this spreading out will happen with your involvement or without it.I am sure that every believer that sincerely loves God desires to be part of this process, desires to have the Kingdom of God not only within him, but also to spread it all around.
