KEY SCRIPTURE: John 19:19 KJV “And Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

Governor Pilate had the rare opportunity to meet with the king of Kings and Lord of Lords. He heard from the lips of the Lord that His kingdom is not of this world and that He had angels who could fight for Him. He also told Pilate that he had no power to condemn Him, If His Father who is in heaven did not give him that right or authority. These statements reveal clearly that Jesus is the Son of God, and secondly, He is a king. Pilate deduced a truth out of all these, yet He did not acknowledge him as His Lord That would have given him grounds to be saved. He failed to acknowledge that and rather wrote Jesus’ king of the Jews.

Dear one, do not miss the opportunity to make Jesus the Lord of your life. He says harden, not your heart if you hear His word today. Jesus imparts His life to you. You become His representative in this life.1Jn 4:17 KJV” Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.”  Do not miss this amazing appeal to welcome Him into your life.

The Lord told Peter and the other fishermen who had no special education, that they should follow Him, and He would make them fishers of men. After a period of living with the master, they became the leaders of their society. He made them fishers or leaders of other men. He says follow me. You do not need any special qualities. All you need is to follow Him. Today do not let this opportunity slip by. Make that decision to follow Him.

Evangelist Akwasi Amoako, of blessed memory, would be described as a social misfit before he found Jesus. He was a swindler, pickpocket, a brawler, and a threat to other members of the community. He heard God’s word and after some moments of struggling with the word, he yielded to the call. He decided to ardently follow Jesus. God used him so powerfully in Ghana and outside Ghana as well. He became so influential that, he challenged certain anti-Christian policies of the government.  No matter your current state, all that the Lord requires from you is to decide to follow Him. If you want a higher power and influence in your life, then decide to follow Him.

THOUGHT: FOLLOW JESUS, AND MEN WILL FOLLOW YOU.
