JESUS GUIDES HIS SHEEP


Jesus said:“My sheep hear My voice,
and I know them, and they follow Me; 28and I give eternal life
to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out
of My hand.”John 10:27,28. Not all people are His sheep and very
few do follow Jesus. Few professing Christians are His sheep. If you
want to be His sheep and if you wish to follow Him, He will make you
into one of His sheep and He will guide you. You will hear His voice
and be able to follow Him.
Jesus does not discriminate between
sheep. He does not love some sheep more than others, He treats them
all equally. We all have a cross to bear if we wish to follow Jesus.
He did not promise anybody an easy road or a free pass. He said:”If
anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his
cross daily and follow Me.”Luke 9:23.
Jesus has not appointed some sheep as
leaders over other sheep. He is the Shepherd and He guides His own
sheep, those who follow Him. Some of His sheep follow after wolves
and other sheep, to their own downfall.
If you wish to have eternal life you
have to follow Jesus. You have to obey Him every step of the way
until the end.
Do you wish to follow Jesus? Then obey
His gospel, His words as also recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and
John. Repent, turn from sin. Be baptized in water for the forgiveness
of your sin. Ask Jesus to guide you. He will speak to you and give
you direction, wisdom and guidance in all things. Ask Him and He will
answer you. He will speak to you, in dreams and in visions. He will
speak to you in many ways. He will give you understanding of all
things, but you have to be serious about following Him.
Seek Jesus. Seek His way. Seek His
will, not your own. Submit yourself to Him, trust Him. Wait on Him.
Speak to Him in prayer, and expect Him. If He does not speak to you
or does not answer you, then ask Him to show you the reason.
Patiently wait on Him, and in His time He will direct you.
Become a sheep. Sheep are not
intelligent animals, unlike goats that are highly intelligent, self
willed and destructive. Sheep eat grass. Goats eat any trash, they
destroy gardens, trees, and will even eat your clothes off the
washing line. Sheep graze and are easily contained. Goats break out
of any enclosure, they climb and jump on anything. They will even
jump on top of parked cars and damage them. Many believers are like
goats, strong willed and crafty, always looking to break out, go
their own way and destroy as far as they go.
Become a sheep and follow Jesus. Jesus
will guide you all the way, but you must trust and follow Him. If you
stray, He will look for you, call you back, but if you keep on
breaking out like a goat you will be caught by the wolves. If you
follow after other lost sheep, you will also go lost. If you follow
after the wolves, the false preachers in the worldly churches, you
will be destroyed.
Follow Jesus. Ask your guidance from
Him. Stay with Him until the end ,and He will give you eternal life,
like He promised.


May Jesus bless you.

Do Not Worry - My Testimony



If you become a disciple of Jesus Christ you don't worry about the things that  the rest of the world worries about. Jesus said to His disciples:"For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26“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? 27“And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life? 28“And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, 29yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. 30“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! 31“Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’ 32“For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33“But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.  34“So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:25-34.

I want to share with you my testimony.  When Jesus told my wife and me. to return to the US a few years ago, we did not know where we would be living. We arrived with all our belongings  in a few travel cases, clothes and computers. We did not have a car, nor a place to live. Before we left for the US, Jesus spoke to me one night and showed me we were living in a  camping trailer.

The normal questions that anyone would ask are: What veihicle to buy? What camping trailer, and where would we find it?

We prayed and asked Jesus. He told me what  model car to buy. It was not my choice of model nor brand, but I found it and bought it.

We still did not know about the camping trailer and where we would park it. We did not even have truck that could tow one, if we bought it. Jesus spoke to my wife one night and gave her a street name. She told me when she woke up and I recognized the street name, I knew where it was. The next day we drove there and had only travelled a few hundred yards down the road when we saw a camping trailer for sale at the side of the road. I just knew it was it.

We had a look at the trailer and  agreed with the seller to buy it. It turned out that there was a trailer park less than a mile away. The seller agreed to deliver the camping trailer at the trailer park, to park it and hook it up for us. So we did not even need a towing vehicle.

We did not need furniture, as the comping trailer was fully furnished and ready to be used.

We are driving the car Jesus showed us, living in the camping trailer that Jesus chose for us, and we are living where He determined for us and we will be there as long as He wants us to be there, because we are living for Him and His kingdom.

Those who follow Jesus seek His guidance and His will because they live to do His will. He guides their footsteps and determines their life. All they have to be concerned about is about staying with Jesus, following His guidance and doing His will. He knows what we need, even before we ask.

Do not worry about tommorrow.   "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."

May Jesus bless you.
