The Image of Jesus

People spend vast amounts of money to follow after their idols, to portray a certain image. They buy certain motorcars, motorbikes, they wear certain brand clothes, they have their bodies pierced and tattooed to look like certain people that they follow so that they can portray a certain image.

If we follow Jesus Christ we will be changed into His likeness. We will portray the image of Christ. The image of Jesus Christ that we will portray will be the TRUE IMAGE. Not the one of the Catholic church or of Hollywood or of many pictures that you see, the Jesus that is preached in many churches, it will be the TRUE JESUS, because if we walk with Jesus we will become LIKE HIM. We will take on His likeness. Jesus Christ was rejected by men, He was persecuted, He was crucified, He was stripped naked and hung on a pole. Jesus Christ became of NO REPUTATION at all. That is the image that you will take on if you follow Jesus Christ. You will be hated, rejected, persecuted, and you might get killed if you follow Jesus Christ and become like Him.

That is why the world hates the true image of Jesus Christ. That is why they put on a false image for Jesus and that is why they follow a false Jesus not the true Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Are you going after Jesus Christ, becoming like Him? Are you changed into His likeness? Or are you following after idols? Are you trying to be like other people, wearing certain brand clothes, spending your money on images that you follow instead of following Jesus Christ? Are you taking on the image of the REAL Jesus Christ?

May Jesus bless you.

Alone WITH Jesus

Being part of a church community and having fellowship with like-minded believers does not make you part of the kingdom of God, it does not make you a child of God. Neither does it make you pleasing to Jesus Christ. It just makes people feel secure because they are not alone, they are with other like-minded people who believe the same things, the same deception.

Jesus Christ said that:”Whoever WISHES to come after Me must deny Himself, pick up his cross and come her follow Me, EVERY DAY.” Jesus will take you along the straight and narrow road, the unbeaten track, where you are often ALONE WITH HIM, rejected by other people, but you experience the PRESENCE of the Living God, you LISTEN to His voice. He will take you through the valley of death and then He will lead you beside the quiet waters where you experience His comfort and His presence KNOWING that you are pleasing to your Lord and Master, you are PART OF HIS KINGDOM!

Have you got alone with Jesus? Do you follow Him every step of the WAY, wherever He guides you off the beaten track, being WITH HIM rather than with other people, or do you crave the acceptance of other men and the company of other people.

Following Jesus is a lonely road BUT you live in the presence of the living God. If you still treasure the company of people and the acceptance of men you cannot be following Jesus Christ and seeking the presence of the Living God.

May Jesus bless you.

How to follow Jesus

Very few people know how to follow Jesus Christ because they don't know Him. Jesus Christ is the living God who manifested Himself in human form but Jesus is SPIRIT and serve Him and follow Him IN OUR SPIRIT.

Once we have come to know Jesus Christ and we have decided to follow Him then we turn from our futile existence. We don't go after our own mind and after sin and the things of this world but we go after Jesus and we seek to please Him, to do those things that are pleasing to Him because we KNOW HIM and we love Him. Most people have never met Jesus. They have never encountered the living God. If you SEEK Jesus ON YOUR KNEES, cry out to Him, say:”Lord I need Thee! Please come to me! Please reveal Yourself to me!” He will. And then you REPENT, you TURN AWAY FROM SIN, He will forgive your past sin if you truly repent and decide to follow Him. If you OBEY Him and you are baptized in water and you seek to be pleasing to Him then He will reveal himself to you IN YOUR SPIRIT. He will guide you every day and you will truly get to know Him.

Have you met Jesus Christ the living God? Is He real to you? Or are you just busy with religion? There is nothing like KNOWING and FOLLOWING Jesus Christ. Seek Jesus NOW before it is too late. Get to KNOW Him and He will give you eternal life.

May Jesus bless you.

Why believers stray stumble and fall

The reason why believers stray and stumble is because they do not follow Jesus Christ. Most of them never started following Jesus, they do not get their guidance from Him but from other people and from their own interpretation of the Bible.

The words of Jesus are the words of eternal life. Those words are recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. If we obey those words then we will have eternal life. If we do not understand or if we are not sure we have to PRAY and ASK Jesus and the Holy Spirit will explain the words of Jesus to us. He will give us INSIGHT, WISDOM, He will guide us into all truth. But if we keep on asking other people, reading little books, listening to others, seeking our wisdom from others then we are not following Jesus and that is when people fall into the ditch. A true man of God will send you to Jesus, tell you to go and pray and wait on the Lord and THE LORD WILL SPEAK TO YOU.

The apostle James wrote in James 1:5 “If any man needs wisdom let him ask of God who gives to all men freely.” If you need understanding, ASK JESUS. If you need guidance and insight, PRAY and ASK JESUS and HE WILL GIVE YOU UNDERSTANDING! But you need to ASK HIM, you need to FOLLOW HIM, not people, not the pastor, not other people. Go on your knees and cry out to the living God, WAIT on Him and He will guide you.

If you are not following Jesus you are following strangers and you will PERISH. Jesus Christ ALONE is the WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE. Follow HIM. Who do you go to? To Jesus or to other people? Who are you following? Are you REALLY following Jesus Christ?

May Jesus bless you.

To be like him

People go to great lengths and huge expense to be like the the person that they are following, that person that they idolize. Young people want to be like Justin Bieber. They go into a frenzy when they go to His concerts and they pay huge amounts of money to wear Justin Bieber brand clothes. It is because they idolize Him, they want to be like him and they follow him.
If we follow Jesus Christ we will do everything in our power to be like Him. Jesus Christ came to do the will of the Father. Jesus Christ was the expression, the image, of God the Father. That is the IMAGE THAT WE MUST ASPIRE TO to be pleasing to God. If we truly love Jesus and God is our father then we will want to be like Jesus, speak like Him, do like Him, always ask the will of the Father so that we can be pleasing to our Father God.
Who is our idol? Who are we aspiring to be like? Some worldly person, who will also perish like we will, or are we sons of the Father? Do we want to be like Jesus, follow Him and have eternal life? Who is our idol? Who is our role model? Who are we following? Because we will end up with that person in the end.
If we follow Jesus, we will spend eternity with Him. If we follow others we will perish with them. Jesus Christ ALONE is the WAY to eternal life. Who are YOU following? Jesus, or someone else?

May Jesus bless you.

Walking in the GREATER WORKS

If we follow Jesus Christ signs and wonders will follow us because Jesus said that he who believes in Him will do the works that He did AND GREATER. Jesus also said that it was not Him who did the works that He did but the Father who LIVED IN HIM. If Jesus Christ LIVES IN US then it will be HIM IN US doing the works.
When we follow Jesus He shows us what to do, He tells us what to DO and what to SAY. By FAITH we TRUST Him, we OBEY Him and signs and wonders follow. When Peter and the other disciples saw Jesus walking on the sea, Peter asked Jesus if he could also walk to Him on the sea and Jesus said:”Come!” Peter got out of the boat and he walked on the sea ON THE COMMAND OF JESUS. He did the impossible but when he took His eyes off Jesus and he saw the waves and the water HE SUNK, because he took his eyes off the Master.
If we keep our eyes on the Master then we will do what He commands us to do and the greater works will follow, Jesus said, for those who HAVE BELIEVED and HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED these signs shall follow: They will lay their hands on the sick and they will recover, they will speak in other tongues, they will drink poison, they will take up snakes and nothing will happen to them.
The greater works will follow those who follow Jesus. Are the GREATER WORKS following YOU and me? Do we truly believe and are we following Jesus Christ? Are the GREATER WORKS following us?

May Jesus bless you.
