The Power of Following!
But who or what to Follow?
The scripture answers this question with the advice, “See that none render evil for evil to any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves and to all men” (1 Thessalonians 5:15). And what is that which is good? The scripture teaches that, “But you oh man of God flee from these things (love of money); and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness” (1 Timothy 6:11). When we follow these, we land at Gods footsteps. And the good Lord brings us to His footsteps to follow Him. His servants realized this great benefit and declared to the children of Israel that, “ Never the less my brethren that went up with me made the hearts of the people melt but I wholly followed the Lord my God” (Joshua 14:8). And Christ declared, “If any man served me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall my servant also be: If any man serve me, him will my Father honor.” (John 12:26).
Following God usher us into His righteousness which is the corner stone of the establishment in the Kingdom. And when the Almighty God establishes a man, all fear is gone as one rests with a n eye in fulfillment knowing we are surrounded with His grace. Christ therefore taught, “Seek you first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you” (Mathew 6:33). Which things were Christ talking of here? Ofcourse the desires of our hearts. They drive people crazy! But fulfilled desires are only additions of righteousness in the Kingdom of God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. When we follow onto the good Lords footsteps, His servant David wrote, “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life” (Psalm 23:6). Know that God has no favoritism. As He dealt with David, does He deal with all His people. It takes following God to enjoy His abundance.
