HIGHER EVERYDAY

FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 20, 2019

TOPIC: FOLLOW ME

TEXT:MATTHEW 4:18-22

BIBLE TEXT: "And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother... And saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men" (MATTHEW 4:18a,19).

Jesus Christ is the Saviour of the world; and because of His saving power He expects all men in the whole world to follow Him to experience true worship. We are to follow the example of Christ in all we do. He is the Shepherd and we are His sheep. Entire consecration is the only way. David Livingstone says: "God send me anywhere, only go with me. Lay any burden on me, only sustain me. And sever any tie in my heart except the tie that binds my heart to you." When we consecrate our lives to God we will do His will without complaining. Our lives and all that we have belong to Jesus. Paul admonished his co-workers to follow him in the same way he was following Christ.

As a Christian youth, begin to follow Christ now. "Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them" (Ecclesiastes 12:1). Do not delay your decision to follow Christ because tomorrow may be too late.
