And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.( Matthew 4:19 KJV)

Every car manufacturer understands the importance of making new models of their existing design to showcase or promote newer possibilities or invention that was not part of such cars before then. That is why the difference between a 4×4 jeep made in 1990 and the one made in 2022 is like the difference between night and day. The innovation in the latter as a result of the technological advancement is too mind blowing that comparison will not be a good option.

So, Jesus said to them, “Follow me and I will make you……” As the creator of everything (Jn 1:3), He retains the capacity to make us into a higher functioning version of ourselves that we never knew existed before now but we have to follow Him to see this manifestation. When He called Abraham out of his father’s house into a land that He will show him, Abraham was just an ordinary man like any of his brethren but he  obeyed and followed Him. The result of his followership was that God made Abraham a father of many nations and also made him a blessing.
These were possibilities that Abraham never knew existed and heights of attainment in God that looks impossible. For instance, how will a man with no child at his old age become a father of many nations but because he followed Him, it is a reality today.

Following Him requires hearing from Him to know what to do and what steps to take per time. So, we have to be sensitive and sharpen our discernment to pick the frequency of His voice either through scriptures, in the word of faith we hear, in the promptings of our heart or in revelations that He gives us in our dreams and visions. Discernment of His voice is key to following Him.

As the shepherd of our soul, our destiny lies in following Him in obedience to His word and then He begins to guide us into His plan for our lives and that is when we can truly fulfil destiny. Many have entered into the office of the prophetic and the apostolic while many have entered into generational blessings by following Him and in turn, He makes them. The apostles of the Lamb were all great men because they followed Him. Every genuine follower ends up as a spectacle to behold because when He makes them, they become an envy to their world.

Prayer point:
Let’s thank God for His word today. Let’s pray for grace to follow Him in obedience to the end.

God bless you!
