The Bumpy Road of Faith

Not many people follow Jesus because when you follow Jesus YOU are not in control. You don’t know where He is taking you and you need to follow by faith. You need to trust Him. People are not interested in that. If you follow Jesus you cannot keep looking out the window, second guessing and doubting. Whoever puts his hand to the plow and looks back is not worthy of the Kingdom of God.
When you follow Jesus the road will be bumpy and you will have to hold on by faith. You will need to trust Him and leave Him in control. He does not need your opinion or your advice. It is His Kingdom and if you want to be part of His Kingdom, you follow HIM. He is LORD, He is MASTER and you TRUST Him. You go along for the ride and He will take you places that you do not expect, where you did not plan. Life will take some unexpected turns and you will just have to hang on by faith! It is a matter of PRAY, TRUST and OBEY, or else you will not follow Jesus.
Many believers never started following Jesus. Most of them have not repented, they haven’t stopped sinning. They are still going on their own jolly way, they are doing their own thing. They are having their own life and they want to have salvation. If you want to have eternal life YOU MUST FOLLOW JESUS, BY FAITH. You must go where He takes you and you must totally and absolutely TRUST HIM. Very few people will follow Jesus. Very few people trust Him! They trust their Bibles, they trust other people, they trust their own insight but they have no relationship with Jesus.
Have you made up your mind to follow Jesus. You will need to trust Him, you will need to fully OBEY HIM. Without faith it is impossible to please God. If you don’t trust Him you will not follow Him, but if you look back, REMEMBER THE WIFE OF LOT! She turned into a salt pillar!
Many people have been saved, God led them out of bondage, out of Sodom and Gomorrah but they keep on looking back and they turn into salt pillars! Are you following Jesus or have you turned into a salt pillar?
May Jesus bless you.
