Disciples And Unfollowers
Wednesday, August 2, 2023
You say you follow the Lord. But to follow the Lord also means to not follow. When Messiah called the disciples, He called them first to stop following what they were doing before. "Drop your net," wasn't about nets, but a different way of life. Matthew stopped being a tax collector. You have to stop following something in order to follow Him. So, if you're the Lord's disciple, then you have to also become an un-follower. You can't serve two masters. You need to stop following what you've been following your whole life. As you follow Messiah, He gives you the power to un-follow the voice of temptation, the voice of the flesh, the voice of anger, the voice of lust or the voice of addiction. You don't have to follow it. You're an un-follower now. You don't have to follow the past, the world, the television, the internet. You don't have to follow them anymore. You have the power to drop your nets and make a clean break. Because the Lord has not only given you the privilege of being a follower, but the power of being an un-follower.
From Message #520 - The Magnificent Seven
It's time to un-follow your sins today. See yourself following Messiah, walking with Him and leaving your past behind.
