What is the meaning of Jesus follower ? How to become Jesus follower? Jesus follower is not someone whose religion is Christian. Jesus follower is someone who knows and known by Jesus personally.
God declares/clarifies to the person and the person will know God truly. And do you know if you haven't meet God personally you couldn't be called as Christ followers.
This is a true story; there was a pastor/priest from traditional church had served God for 40 years, even as a shepherd in a church. She served the church, and did all things that priest/pastor should do. Apparently as along as she served as a priest/pastor she never knew God personally. (She knew God only from the bible). She just acquainted with God after she retired.
She served for 40 years and as long as 40 years she didn't know God who she serves for .
This isn't a false story. You can meet this priest/pastor. Now she serves and opens a prayer school in
On her testimony she said that she had served God 40 years but she didn't know God well. So.....who did she serve for, along 40 years? The question is, has you know God well or personally /truly? To know that if you are interested, please read this article below.
Maybe we've been long to be a "religious Christian". Even more since we were born we had been baptized (traditional church allowed baby baptizing) or had been surrendered to God through each church (Pentecost and charismatic).
Since a baby, every week, we are taken to the church and join 'Sunday school' 'till teenage, after that we follow bible study, school of ministry or get involved in other church activities ( like: join a choir, orphanage visit, hospital visit, jail visit etc) and get in Christian communities outside the church.
In our heart we feel that we are "religious" and "son of God", different with secular people with all their unclear behave or activities. We are religious people who love God and if we have sin, it's only a small sin and we believe God will forgive us.
We often judge people by say "Huh worldly people, don't concern about religious things!” We feel that we are God's children and they are Satan children. Till someday we are startled to hear someone ask us, "Do you know, God admonished me for not reading bible recently", and he continues "Do you talk with God?” Hearing this question, we might think, that this man is crazy. (And we say in our heart)
"Have a talk with God? God can speak to us?
Maybe this man needs counseling, how possible God talk to us?”
God can speak? Well, actually who has unclear status
as Christian, we are or that man?
Our Lord says in John
“I am the good shepherd. As the Father knows me and I know the Father, in the same way I know my sheep and they know me. And I am willing to die for them. "
and continued in John
My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me".
Is the verse clear for you? If not....please read again.
Brothers and sisters, our God is a mighty God. Everything is created by Him and for Him. How dare you say that God is dumb (mute, silent)? He yearns us to speak with Him every moment. Now it's clear, OK! So.....don't ever say (to other people) you are a worldly/profane people. If we are an unclear religious people, this means spiritual fantasizing. We claim as Jesus follower but we never talk to our MASTER. .......What are you doing up till now?
Think!!! Are there any troops never talk to their commander? Or the troops only know the rules/orders from regulation book/standard operation book? Bro and Sister, “Turn to the LORD and pray to him, now that he is near." Isa 55:6
God is not far from us. We did keep away from Him.
Do you know what God says about this spiritual fantasizing people?
Read in Mathew 15:8
"These people, says God, honor me with their words,
but their heart is really far away from me"
Jesus wants to meet you personally
