What it means to Follow Jesus Christ

-
Everyone does it a little differently and there are tons of ways to. One way to start is looking at the Bible. To me, following someone is to listen to them and to do as the say

Jesus says a lot in the Bible, he talks about loving your neighbors: Mark 12:31. There are passages of serving others: Hebrews 6:10, Galatians 5:13, Mathew 4:19. There are parables where Jesus speaks directly: Mathew 24: 42-51, Mathew 13: 31-32.   Another way of this is looking for signs of God speaking to you in your life. God speaks through the Bible, gut instinct/conscience, nature, sports, music, really anyway. Recently God spoke to me because I was upset at church because I found out I probably wasn’t going to get something I’ve been wanting for years. Then the band at my church started playing a song called I shall not want. It is a beautiful song and reminded me that as long as I have God, which I do, I can have joy. A lot of times it means going with your gut in terms of trying to decide if you should do something or not (not should I rob a bank or not obviously you shouldn’t but should I sit by the new kid at lunch, stuff like that) or sometimes having a good feeling about doing something because you feel like it’s the right thing to do. There are plenty of clues of God speaking to us, you just have to look for them. Another way is to speak to the lord in prayer and just ask.

Taking the next step: once God speaks to you or you read something inspiring in the Bible, the next step is to do what you feel God is telling you to. This can be scary at times, but God did not give us the spirit of fear but the power of love.

Worship 
Where you go, I'll go
Where you stay, I'll stay
When you move, I'll move
I will follow
All your ways are good
All your ways are sure
I will trust in you alone
Higher than my side
High above my life
I will trust in you alone
Where you go, I'll go
Where you stay, I'll stay
When you move, I'll move
I will follow you
Who you love, I'll love
How you serve I'll serve
If this life I lose, I will follow you
I will follow you
Light unto the world
Light unto my life
I will live for you alone
You're the one I seek
Knowing I will find
All I need in you alone, in you alone
In you there's life everlasting
In you there's freedom for my soul
In you there's joy, unending joy
And I will follow. I will follow by Chris Tomlin

Prayers Dear Lord, How can I serve you today? Please give me the Strength to do your will. Holy Spirit I give you permission to work in my life what is pleasing unto you through Jesus Christ our Lord! Amen.

THE LOVE OF GOD

  The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. (2 Corinthians 13:14|KJV- The Love of God is God's compassion for mankind, He loved the world and all that is in it and sent His son Jesus Christ to salvage it from destruction.  How can we measure the love of God? But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. (Romans 5:8-11|KJV- The love of God is not something we can measure or say, He loved us ahead of time, before we became sinners and while we were yet sinners He loves us and died for our sake. His love demonstrated on t

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. (Galatians 5:19-23|KJV Today we want to make clear the labour, now for the fact that you were asked to go out for evangelism or clean the church does not per se mean that you are a labourer, that you go out every morning for morning cry or always preaching in the bus does not make you a labourer in this context. That you own a ministry and run marathon activities does not mean you are laboring. Now what does it really mean to labour in the Kingdom

Who Sin? Man or Satan

 What is sin? Sin is an immoral act considered to be transgression against divine law.(1 John 3:4) Sin according to the scripture is act or omission against God by despising his person and Christian biblical law and by extention to others. Hence rebellion against God and neighbors(Deuteronomy 9:7, Joshua 1:18) SATAN SINNED Who is Satan? Satan was once an archangel who once sat before the throne of God. He lost his position before God the very moment inequity was found in him (Ezik. 28:15). He was the author and architect of sin and rebellion against God; he led other Angel's to rebel against God (Rev. 12:7-9) and deceived man to sin against God (Gen. 3:1-5) Luke 10:18 describes Satan as "LIGHTNING FALL FROM HEAVEN". Jesus in Luke 10:18 further noted the defeat of satan and how he has been casted down to earth from his previous position cf (Rev.12:9), this is to teach Christian people how powerless the satan has become. Also  John 8:44 referred to Satan as a murderer and a
