READ: Numbers 14:24-45
But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.
Numbers 14:24
Many people claim to be followers. The main problem is that many people do not follow fully. Until you follow as though you are copying, you are not truly following fully.
Caleb and Joshua were different from all the others because they followed the Lord fully. Many who claim to be followers are really taking bits and pieces here and there and claiming to be followers when in actual fact they are very far from being true followers.
If you are following someone who is driving from New York to Florida, you are likely to see all the sights that he also sees. If you are following Jesus, you will see all the things that He saw on His journey to the cross and you will see all the characters that He saw on His journey to the cross. You will meet all the people He met. It is because you are following Him all the way!
Stop deceiving yourself that you are following when in actual fact you are not. I have been on a mission in Ghana for many years. God has used me to build churches and to conduct crusades. Those who are following me are equally building churches and conducting crusades.
Do you want to be successful in ministry? Learn the art of following fully! Allow yourself to stare at someone you claim you are following. Ask yourself the difference between yourself and that person. Try and find out some of the things that person does that you do not do. List them and decide to do them. As you get closer, you will find many little things that are the reason for a person’s success. You will learn about things that you need to add to your life.
