"FOLLOW ME AND I WILL MAKE YOU BECOME FISHERS OF MEN” Mark 1 v17

Jesus didn't make them disciples then immediately sent them out to get on with it- saving souls or catching men...NO Jesus built them on God's word, He taught them daily (e.g Matthew 18). They were with Him most of the time if not 24/7, so they were able to see Him at work, able to gather experience. THEN Jesus sent them out in Matthew 10 v 5-8.

YOU CAN'T JUST EXPECT YOURSELF TO DO THE THINGS OF GOD IF YOU DON'T KNOW THEM, IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THEM.. NO! SPEND TIME WITH YOUR MASTER, YOUR CREATOR; HE WILL FAMILIARIZE YOU ON YOUR WORK ON THIS EARTH. There is no need to be confused or to hate yourself when you do the wrong things or when you are too scared to do some things in God, GET TO KNOW YOUR GOD. Notice He said in the verse above "I will MAKE you" it is HIS job, (NOT YOURS) to LEAD you, just as it was JESUS'S job to lead the disciples of those days. Do you think those disciples would have been able to be and act like they did without Jesus's guidance? Do you think that they could have done and continued those great works started by Jesus IF Jesus hadn't guided them on earth before He left NO! NO! The Holy Spirit has taken Jesus's place now, therefore meditate on the word and He WILL be speaking to you, leading you... oh its a BEAUTIFUL thing I (personally) assure you...remember YOU CAN'T EXPECT TO DO EFFECTIVELY WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW EFFECTIVELY...when you KNOW, when YOU are familiar...MY GOODNESS(!), YOU would GO OUT TO DO God's work with CONFIDENCE, (no fear etc). Remember "Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks" (will post location in Bible later).

God bless TO YOU ALL- my BeaUtifUL brothers and sisters in Christ ALL OVER the WORLD, I love YOU ALL with the LOVE OF CHRIST "Grace to YOU and peace from GOD the Father and our LORD JESUS CHRIST" (Galatians 1 v 3)

Since this is also my first time writing this year GOD BLESS YOU, THIS is the YEAR OF OPEN DOORS for YOU and your FAMILY IN JESUS NAME- (take this, i don't write anything for nothing brothers and sisters) and of course HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

God bless YOU

Until next time...

1 Samuel 16-18v23..power of God behind David

My brother and i treated the defeat of goliat by David a few days ago...and what can i say the story taught us alot and so i thought i would like to share it with you today.Imagine the size of goliat against david and still david failed to take account of the physical aspect of this, to david this goliat that the whole of isreal was running from was a timid insultive individual.David was insulted..the nerve some had...WHY?? because he knew who he was serving, He knew God was behind isreal therfore HOW DARE AN UNCIRCUMCISED (nothing agaist people like this,at that time it was a sign that God wasn't with you)PHILISTINE COME AROUND AND START TREATING THE GOD OF ISREAL LIKE DIRT..no one was prepared to vocal this out but david was, he knew who he was serving and knew someone had to stand up to show this overgrowm fool who he was against..HE KNEW and he wasn't to be discouraged by the size of that thing because to david goliat was not more than a speck before the army of God..if david hadn't decided to stand up goliat would have won..WHY? the army that are already running because of the sight of this big giant would not be able to claim what is rightly theres and God needs peole today HE WANTS TO USE YOU..allow him to..don't be scared of any contradiction or an imposible obstacle you are going though..know who you are serving and put that obstacle in its place as david did to goliat...go and meditate on it coz its just so powerful..OH GLORY TO GOD..know that nothing is to big for your God to do...imagine how imposible goliat looked, no wonder the isrealites ran..the flesh ran..but david saw goliat for who he really was...i mean if the lord is with you ..WHO DARES TO COME AGAINST YOU AND WIN..NO ONE!! and david knew that ..we must KNOW that too..not learn to know,but KNOW!! LIKE KNOWING YOU ARE HUMAN...how do we do this?..by meditating (focussing)on the word so that it can put it into your consciousness so that you KNOW before you even know..you won't have to keep reminding yoursef..e.g imust top doing this/that....you would just fgind yourself unconscously fighting not to do that thing....
If you have any questions you can reply to me..we can discuss about this and any other issues you might want to talk about.
Stay blessed!!
