And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him. - Luke :11
I will be rounding up on our study about Peter and his first encounter with Jesus. He gave up his boat, forsook all and follow Jesus. What does it mean to forsake all? Is it to resign from your job? Or to sell your properties and go into the mission field? Probably or probably not. Peter is a married guy. And he probably got mouths to feed. Yet he forsake all and followed Jesus . To forsake all is to give all to God. To forsake all is to allow God use you and whatever you have for his glory. To forsake all is not to allow the things of this world to take priority. To forsake all is to drop everything impeding you from following Jesus.
It's not enough to just pay your tithe, it's not enough to just give your a part of your life to God. Your life is not your own, it belongs to God. To forsake all is to give yourself away. To forsake all is to be sold to Jesus forever.
Peter never looked since that day. Lot's wife couldn't stand forsaking all and she became worthless (Genesis 19:26). You are only worthy of the fullness of God's blessing when you can fully forsake all without looking back.
Good Morning and I welcome you to the month of February. It is your month of unlimited breakthrough.
Happy New Month Beloved.
