Why is following God vital?
We follow God and His servants that we might know His ways. The Scripture reminds us that, “The secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him and He will show the His covenant.” (Psalm 25:14). For this reason, “He made His ways known to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel.” (Psalms 108:7). His servant teaches, “Then shall we know if we follow on to know the Lord: His going forth is prepared as the morning; He shall come to us as the rain, as the latter and the former rain to the earth” (Hosea 6:3). When God comes to us in His glory, we manifest His greatness. Signs, wonders and miracles become the norm in our lives.
The Scripture also teaches that, “That at the name of Jesus should bow of things in heaven, and things in earth and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father”(Philippians 2:10). Not only has God come to us in glory; now He in duels us in the Holy Spirit. And where God is, nature being creature is subject. To the bodies that the almighty God has made His temple, we read that, “God also bearing them witness both with signs and wonders and with diverse miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost according to His own will”(Hebrews 2:4).
Much of my book "The Seven Steps to Dominion with Christ Jesus" deals with issues of following the Lord God to dominion; but let us for a moment turn our attention on those He has put us under to take us forward – the leaders. True success comes from following the Lord God Almighty. But we can also follow God through His servants-the men and women He has walked with. Such great people are the mentors.
