ÒThen He said to then, ÒFollow Me and I will make you fishers of menÓ (Matthew 4: 19)

The purpose of His calling is to make us a fisher of men. Jesus called us to follow Him. He did not call us to fold up on Him and be a container or assembly where clean fish are being renewed and transferred from one assembly to another. At the time Jesus began His ministry it was with a call for people to repent because the Kingdom of heaven was at hand (Matthew 4:17).  It is documented in Matthew 4:18-19, ÒAnd Jesus walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. 19 Then He said to them, ÔFollow Me and I will make you fishers of men.ÕÓ The same calling that Jesus had placed upon the first, second, and third disciples is the same calling He is placing upon disciples today. Have you been following Him or have you been folding up on Him? If you can give numbers of how many fish you have been enabled by the grace of God, to catch, then yes, you must have been following Him. However, if you cannot account for a single fish by His grace, you must have been folding up on Him. The most important reason for His calling is to follow Him. God is a God of order. In Him there is orderliness and His order are to be carried out in the order of His expectation. Once, Hezekiah, the King of Judah, was in order with the command of God. Later, he placed himself out of order and became sick and near to death. As a result he consulted Isaiah. In the book of 2 Kings 20:1, it was recorded, ÒIn those days Hezekiah was sick and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, went to him and said to Him, ÔThus says the LORD: set your house in order; for you shall die, and not liveÕÓ The point here is that, to be out of His calling is to be out of order. Also, to be out of order is to set up a date with death. GodÕs order is not limited to any particular area of life. Have you in anyway taken your steps out of His order, or you are just in the middle of it? It is never too late for you to turn back from your ways into His ways. Hezekiah saw the glimpse of death but he turned it around when he returned into the order of God. To follow the Lord in the order of His calling is to flow in His power. It is demonstrated in the Bible that every time there is a response to His calling, signs and wonders were evident. It is written in the book of Mark16: 15, ÒAnd He said to them, ÔGo into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.ÕÓ This is exactly why He called us to follow Him. It is demonstrated later in the same chapter of Mark that what He had called His disciples to go for brought forth undeniable results. Mark 16:20, ÒAnd they went out and preached every where, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs.Ó Amen. Signs followed those that followed Him in His command because He was accompanying them. Do you wonder what the signs are? The signs are mentioned in Mark 16:17-18, ÒAnd these signs will follow those who believe: In my name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.Ó The signs will not follow religious people but those that follow Him by going out of their comfort zone into the commitment route. The word of God is not for decoration but for declaration and it demands activation before manifestation could be in place. Matthew and Luke also confirmed that His calling to go out and preach the gospel is also backed with deliverance and healing signs. Signs are what unbelievers need to see more that is, Signs that are undeniable, undisputable, and signs that are glaring and provocative. These signs will not be available where following Him has been folded up. These signs will not have its way in the confinement of buildings where fresh fish is constantly missing, where fish is being transferred from one assembly to another assembly. Without any doubt, when the signs become constantly glaring, undeniable and explosive, the world will begin to know that He meant what He said and He will do what He says He will do. What are you waiting for? What is holding you down from going out and follow Him? Ask God for His spirit to move you because no might, power, or determination will be enough to move you. Avoid stepping out of His order. Follow Him and you will flow in His power and signs.   < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

ManÕs pursuit of pleasure has replaced manÕs passion for GodÕs calling.
