And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him. - Luke 5:11
I continue on the story of Peter, the guy who surrender his boat to Jesus and obey instructions of Jesus. After everything (the breakthrough, the abundance blessing), Peter and partners forsook all that they have and follow Jesus.
It was not "much" that they left - a couple of small boats and their nets; but it was all they had, even all their living. But this showed their love of Jesus, and their willingness to deny themselves, as "really" as if they had forsaken palaces and gold. All that Jesus asks is that we should leave "all" we have for him; that we should love him "more" than we do whatever friends or property we may possess, and be willing to give them all up when he requires it.
Some folks after becoming wealthy stops caring about the thing of God; For some, it is their job, some their marriage. A vibrant christian that is blessed will follow God the more.
When riches increase, and we are tempted to set our hearts upon them, then to quit them for Christ is thankworthy.
Are you ready to forsook all for the kingdom? Tommorow I will be posting on what it means to forsook all.
One of the greatest decisions you can make is to follow Jesus. You will never regret it.
Good Morning and have a happy Tuesday!
