"Follow me. . "

This article is given to me through the Holy Spirit while i was sharing the Word of God to my younger sister. Many people wants to follow the Lord, wants to be a disciple, but only a few make it to the end.

"Follow me. . " A word that makes and force every true Christians to obey the Lord Jesus. While i was sharing the Word of God, i noticed that there are 2 types of disciples mentioned in the Bible. OK, let us start.

Matthew 4:19-8-20
18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.

20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.

So, in these verses it was stated how Peter and his brother Andrew were called by the Lord Jesus. These 2 brothers were fishers. In verse 18. notice that they had just cast their nets on the sea, they had just started fishing but when the Lord called them, they didn't hesitate to Follow the Lord. They could tell the Lord, "Just wait Lord! After we catch fishes we will follow you!" Instead, they right away left their nets and followed him!

Another one. . . 

Matthew 4:21-22
21 Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John.They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them, 22 and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.

And as the Lord Jesus continued to walk, He saw another two man, with their Father. James and John. The job of these 2 were fishers also! According to the verses, they were preparing their nets to begin fishing but when Jesus called them, the bible says "they immediately left the boat and their Father and followed the Him!" Wow! it is just really amazing. . They could have tell the Lord " Lord, after we catch fishes and help our father with this, we will follow you." Instead they right away followed the Lord!

A true disciple obeys the Lord, right away. Why? Because late obedience, is disobedience. Can we make excuse before the Lord? We cannot. Here is an example. .

Matthew 8:21-22

21 Another disciple said to him, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
22 But Jesus told him, “Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”

Here, on human point of view, it is reasonable to go first, bury your father, and then follow the Lord. But in God's point of view? No excuse! "If you want to follow me, the first step is to deny yourself" the Lord Jesus' message.

A "right away" obedient disciples and a "just wait Lord" disciple. Which type are you here? Let us examine ourselves. In times of a conflict schedule. Do we prioritize our things or the Lord's? Let us be an obedient disciples to the Lord Jesus! For He is coming very soon!

Now say after me "O my soul! Obey the Lord's voice right away when He calls!"

Amen! Glory to Jesus from now to forever!
