GO AFTER JESUS SEEK HIS GUIDANCE


We are called, not just to believe in
Jesus, but to go after Him and follow Him. We cannot follow after
Jesus if we do not first repent from going after sin and our own
plans and desires. If we wish to follow Jesus and have eternal life
we have to deny ourselves, lay down our own plans and ambitions and
put our whole life into obeyance to Jesus.
Before we can follow Jesus, we have
accept Him as our Lord and Master and commit to obey Him, to live
according to His commandments and instructions, His words as recorded
in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The elementary commandments are: to
repent of all sin, be baptized in water, to live holy and to seek the
baptism in the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is essential to our
relationship with Jesus. Jesus said of the Holy Spirit: ”He will
guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own
initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will
disclose to you what is to come. 14“He will glorify Me, for He
will take of Mine and will disclose it to you.” John
16:13-16.
Many believers never obeyed the
elementary commandments of Jesus, and have not received the Holy
Spirit, that is why they are not led by Him, and cannot follow Jesus
to do what is pleasing to Him. They do not have a real relationship
with Him.
Those who have received the Holy Spirit
must go after Him, seek His guidance in all things, in prayer,
waiting on Him for guidance and direction. He will speak to them in
their spirit. In all things, we must seek and follow His guidance.
The apostles and first followers of Jesus were led by the Holy
Spirit.
The Holy Spirit, is Christ in us. We
are a temple of the Holy Spirit, but few believers are led by the
Holy Spirit. Most are just religious. Christ does not live in them.
They are living their lives for their own pleasure. They are
believers, but not children of God. “Those who are being led by the
Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” Romans 8:14.
Have we advanced beyond the first
principles of being a Christian? Have we received Jesus, repented,
been baptized in water, received the Holy Spirit? Are we being led by
the Spirit of God? Do we go after Jesus every day to seek and follow
His guidance? Are we fruitful, obedient children of God?
May Jesus bless you.

Do Not Run After Prophets And Preachers



Religious cults and cliques are formed when people run after prophets and preachers, people. We have to follow and obey Jesus Christ or else we will be led astray. Do not trust in people. Trust no man. Jesus did not appoint any person as a leader for His followers. Jesus said that we are all just His servants. We must listen to His voice and follow after Him. His sheep listen to His voice and they follow Him. Follow no man. Jesus Christ Himself, alone, is the way, the truth, and the life.

May Jesus bless you.

Like the Wind or Chasing After Wind





There are two types of people in this world, those who chase after wind
and those who are like wind. The natural man, the normal person, the one
who is not born again of the Spirit of God, chases after when. He
lives, he works, he strives, he does not have direction, he does not
know where is going, and he does not know where he will end up.
Everything that he does leads to nothing. He dies, he goes into the
grave, the grass grows over him and the wind blows over him; in the end
his life was a waste because he has no hope, he has no future he is
forgotten and he perishes. All his endeavors, everything that he worked
for comes to nothing, because all of his life he was chasing after wind.

However
the person who is born again of the Spirit of God is like the wind. We
read in John chapter 3 verse 5 Jesus Christ said "Truly, truly I say to
you unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the
kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which
is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not be amazed that I said to you,
you must be born again. The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the
sound of it but you do not know where it comes from and where it is
going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit."

Every person who is
born again, such a person has a purpose, he has a destiny he has a
future, and that is why Jesus also said, I read from Matthew chapter 6
verse 25 "For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your
life as to what you will eat, what you will drink nor for your body, as
to what will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than
clothing? Look at the birds of the air that they do not sow nor reap nor
gather into barns and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not
worth much more than they? And who of you by being worried can add a
single hour to his life? And why are you worried about clothing? Observe
how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin,
yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself
like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field which is
alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much
more clothe you? You of little faith! Do not worry then, saying 'What
will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear for
clothing?" For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your
heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first His
kingdom and His righteousness and all these things will be added to
you."

If we belong to Jesus Christ, if we are born again and we have
become children of God, we do not need to chase after wind. We go after
Jesus, we follow after Him because He is the Way, the Truth and the
Life. He directs our footsteps and He takes care of us, but we need to
go after Him. We need to follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit; as the
apostle Paul wrote in Romans 8 verse 14 "for all who are being led by
the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God." If we are led by the
Spirit of God then we all like the wind; we do not chase after wind. We
go after Jesus and we are led by the Spirit of God and we know that He
supplies in all our needs, He guides us, He teaches us and He uses us
for His purpose. We have a purpose, we have a direction, we have a hope,
we have an expectation, to enter the kingdom of heaven and therefore we
strive and we follow after Jesus Christ every day. We are like the wind
because He takes us where He wants to use us. The world cannot
understand us because we are not chasing after wind. We are following
after Jesus Christ, we are like the wind.

Dear friend are you
chasing after wind? Are you part of the rat race? Are you chasing after
the things of this world? Do you have no direction? You don't know where
you are going to end up. Then seek Jesus Christ; follow Him, repent and
be baptized, be filled with the Holy Spirit and follow the guidance of
the Holy Spirit, then you will be like the wind because you will be
guided by the Holy Spirit. You will have hope, a future, a destiny you
will have Jesus Christ.

May Jesus bless you.

Chasing after wind



Most professing Christians are chasing after wind. They are continuously running after new revelations, prophecies and teachings. They don't know where they are going, they are chasing after wind. 
However, those who are born of the Spirit of God, they are LIKE the wind. You hear it's sound but you do not know where it is coming from neither where it is going because they are led by the Spirit of God. The know the One in whom they believe, they know the One whom they are following. The LISTEN to His VOICE and they DO what He sends them to do. 
Are you chasing after wind? Are you looking for answers from everybody and from everywhere? Or have you found the Master? Are you born again of the Spirit of God and are you led by the Spirit of God? Are you serving Jesus Christ, the King?
May Jesus bless you.
