In most churches today, perhaps only the pastor(s) and a small group of members are actively sharing Christ with others in their daily lives. Very Few Christians & Churches Are Obeying The Command to Be A Fisher of Men And out of love and devotion for Jesus a true disciple will fully follow & obey Him. Even though it may bring persecution, or rejection.Ī true disciple of Jesus is a fisher of men. Even though it may be uncomfortable to share the Gospel with others for him/her. It is a disciple who is committed to fully follow & obey Jesus. “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” – Matthew 4:19Ī “fisher of men” is a person who is actively sharing the Good News of Jesus with others in their daily lives. Because it is so important to Jesus, He gave all of His followers a command.
One area that most Christians do not fully follow & obey Jesus in happens to be one of the most important to Him. That is why Jesus said in Matthew 6:33 “Seek first God’s kingdom and His righteousness…”Ī Command Of Jesus That Most Christians Are Not Obeying These are the things that God is very passionate about. In other words, devoted and faithful disciples of Jesus. God also wants them to be fully devoted and faithful learners and followers of Jesus. He wants His children to have a Christ like character, and to be an honorable people. That is God’s calling and desire for all of His children.Īnd God also wants His children to grow more and more like Jesus.
God then wants those who have a restored relationship with Him to have a growing and intimate fellowship with Him (1 Corinthians 1:9). He wants all men to be saved and have this restored relationship with Him (1 Timothy 2:4). First God wants to have a restored personal relationship with all people. If you study the desires of God’s heart in the Bible, you find that there are several things that God is passionate about. But there are 2 keys areas where many Christians today are not following & obeying Jesus. If you ask most Christians if they will fully follow & obey Jesus, they will tell you “yes of course”. They are following Him in many areas of their lives. And perhaps in their finances, and in giving to help others. Many are following and obeying Jesus in their marriages. Many Christians sincerely believe that they are following and obeying Jesus. Fully committed to fully follow & obey Jesus no matter where He leads. A true disciple of Jesus is someone who is fully committed to Him. It is not just someone who has said a prayer of salvation, or someone who goes to church. A true disciple of Jesus is a “learner and follower” of Jesus.
