Respond to the call....!

Matthew 4:19-20 NKJV

Then He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.”  They immediately left their nets and followed Him.

† Shalom †......! Day #38. Do you know that when you follow Jesus, when you put all your trust in Jesus, you will have a journey of impossibilities becoming possible,  things that you know not of, things that you think you aren't capable of doing, miracles and many awesome things happens? Let us pray. Father, ww have decided to follow Jesus, no turning back Lord from You. Lead us to the cross where we experience Your love. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

There's an old song we used to sing, "I have decided to follow Jesus, no turning back, no turning back" it's a wonderful song. Once we have started our journey with Jesus, never ever turn back to look what thw world has for us. Remember the wife of Lot? She turned back and look at Sodom and Gomorrah,  and she became a pillar of salt. When we follow Jesus, and then later on look back to what the world has to offer us, we will literally be a "pillar of salt" meaning to say, we will be influenced by the world and we will want to go back to our old life.

In today's verse, we see Jesus calling His first group of disciples. He saw Simon (Peter) and his brother and tgey were about to go fishing for they are fishermen. Jesus said, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” And they did not delay the call, they did not procrastinate the call, but the IMMEDIATELY responded to the call and followed Jesus. Simon known as Peter, he didn't know that he would pray for people who are sick, demon possessed, lame, mute, deaf and dumb. If he did not respond to the call, he might grow old and die as a normal fishermen doing his daily routine. But the moment Peter responded to the call, he witnessed Great and mighty things in his life. The journey was filled with adventure, thrilling, exciting moments. Respond to the call of God for He has prepared an adventurous and exciting journey for you. God is able to use you to do great and mighty works.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
