Follow Me
When we pray, we have the intuition that GOD is able to do what we request and that makes us say our prayers. We wait at times to get answers to our prayers, while at times we aren’t sure if our prayers have been answered because the signs we expect isn’t what we see. To this effect GOD says Follow Me. The question now is Have you been Following HIM? When you are frequent with Him, you will recognise HIS idiosyncrasies. You would be like Elijah who saw the big signs of wind which broke the mountains, enormous earthquake and fire but still knew that GOD wasn’t there. You would recognise HIS Still small voice and follow Him.
An example of a character in the Bible who would have made great impact if only He had left all and Followed was John. His testimony records saying “And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost” (John 1:33). This is the John prophesied about that he would come with power to restore all things “And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elijah must first come? And he answered and told them, Elijah verily comes first, and restores all things;…But I say unto you, That Elijah is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him” (Mark 9: 11-13). It is quite unfortunate that he indeed saw the signs but didn’t follow. If he had, he would have been given power like the 12 disciples in Mathew 10:1- “And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease”
One sure thing I know about GOD is that HE gives signs about HIS answers, about HIS Will, but quite often, It isn’t usually what we expect and HE will never force HIS Will on you. Rather, HE lets you choose either to Follow HIM or not. How often do you heed to HIS call?
