ADVANTAGE AND DISADVANTAGE OF MERE FOLLOWING
Advantage:
1). “Follow” is generally known to be the “proceedings and going ahead after a person or something”.
2). It is also believed that to follow should have an [objective] or aim, which leads to follow after someone or something.
3). Besides self will, one can still be forced to follow after what is against his or her wishes.
4). These are the two clashing forces applicable to follower-ship.
5). Following the Lord by ignorance to the Word of eternal salvation, is under severe outward distractions.
6). There are people who follow issues of such as matters of religion and several associations ignorantly, without due diligence.
7). There are persons who by some means of illumination, follow after the only truth in reality of purposes. They are the saints of the Lord.
8). However ignorance is blind to the reality of purpose, both physically and spiritually.
9). Ignorance is spiritual myopia, because it finally resorts or ends up regretting for missing the mark; and unfortunately such regrets may be irremediable.
10). Ignorance does not seem to heed to warnings of experience, the ignorant feel to be right while being very wrong.
11). This is also the chief reason why people are successfully duped before they end up realising and regretting.
12). Someone can follow and end up in success; and another can follow and end up in doom: all perhaps by chance.
PRIME NECESSITY
13). The most paramount focus on the subject of “follow”, is to make sure you know from the foundation of what you do in your zeal, to avoid embarrassment of regretting at last.
14). There are many unfortunate gamblers with their own personal lives, and forgetting that there’s no duplicate to amend the wasted life.
15). It is necessary to know what is the true necessity and what is obnoxious.
DISADVANTAGE
16). Obviously, disadvantage is a great disappointment at last after too late, in many cases.
17). A disappointed fellow begins again from the scratch to correct the disgruntled situation.
18). Disappointments cause discouraging delays and could bring an end to good ambitions.
19). It is better to make hay while the sun is still shining, than to bite your fingers perpetually in the eternity of doom.
20). But still remember that all of this emanate from the initial “follow” which led to embark on the fake imaginary adventures.
21). It has to be reckoned to a miraculous phenomenon to find a genetic victim reconfigured to a whole new beginning.
22). Disadvantageous pursuit could lead to general poverty which may anchor on irremediable conditions.
23). Disadvantage could generate into a dangerous situation that files for bankruptcy, due to continuous failures to succeed.
24). As we diagnose into the odyssey of “follow”, it is pertinent to examine our immediate position in whatever venture we are following at the moment.
25). Disadvantages have caused people to struggle without achieving desired success.
26). Disadvantage has wasted efforts times without numbers, because of initial visionary failure.
27). All we have been discussing had focused on possible outcomes of natural aspects of looking at what could trigger advantage or disadvantage in adventures.
28). This discovery is going to help everyone to understand the spiritual segments that are coming next
Recovery Words of Knowledge
THE LIFE IS SECURED:-
Life was seized by death, but the Lord has extracted life from death and hidden with Christ in God
(Luke 14:26-27; Revelations 21:8; Isaiah 8:11-13).
FOLLOWING AND ARRIVALS
29). This segment has to do with the advancement of faith in the Lord which transcends into greater dimension of advanced understanding.
30). The Bible book of Ephesians 5:1 says: “Be you therefore followers of God as dear children”.
31). But listen here also please: becoming followers of God as dear children, is not all there is to enter into the Kingdom of God.
32). Remember Matt 7:21 informs that it is not everyone that says to me “my Lord, my Lord” shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he that does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
33). See also Matt 6:10 in order to confirm that Christ has already brought down the kingdom of heaven to operate upon the earth, exactly as it is done in heaven.
34). Now Christ has already confirmed that He is the Kingdom of God on earth, according to Matt 12:28.
35). Presently, for as much as Christ is the Centrepiece of the gospel of the Kingdom that we preach in this world, it clearly shows that heaven is already mixed up with this world: therefore save yourself now.
36). Consider here what is the [will] of our Father who is in heaven.
37). His will is for us to follow Him and enter into Him who is the Door and the heavenly places Ephesians 1:3; 2:5-6.
38). Andrew and another disciple of John the Baptist requested to know where Jesus was dwelling after He was baptised by John.
39). They followed Him until they entered into His house John 1:36-40).
40). There are other scriptures that detail further intimacy with the Lord.
Luke 13:24 says:
41). Strive to enter in at the strait or narrow gate: I say to you, many will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
42). Doesn’t the above statement properly defines that though God loves His followers, but would want them to enter in through His own strait gate.
43). He featured similar words in the archives of St. Matt 7:13-14 by saying,
44). Vs.13. You should enter in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in there.
45). Vs.14. Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads to life, and there are few persons that have have found it.
46). Reviewing diligently will Confirm that, the above two scriptures portray advantage and disadvantage.
47). The Lord has warned by those scriptures that mankind should take advantage of the narrow way which leads to life eternal.
48). In the same vein He alerts that there is disadvantage of eternal destruction on the wide and broadway.
49). In all of this, it takes to follow something of prime interest to remain in any of these two ways.
50). Merely following the invisible God under outward religion, without the full understanding of eternal salvation, is not really safe.
51). Out the amidst of the followers, there could be external distractions, because they are only external followers, but not yet arrived.
52). The Lord made a statement in Mark12:32-34 saying:
53). Vs.32. And the scribe said to Him [Christ], well Master, you have said the truth: for there is One God; and there is none other but Him:
54). Vs.33. And to love Him with the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
55). Vs.34. And when saw that he answered discreetly, said to him, you are not far from the kingdom of God… .
56). Going by what we have read about the scribe who judged the sayings of Christ as the truth, it is obvious that he was indeed a very great scribe.
57). A scribed is a professional theologian and who is a good record keeper.
58). He is also a great writer who is capable of copying fast while speech is being spoken.
59). When the Pharisees were busy arguing about and indicting against the words of the Lord, that scribe was very busy recording, because he knew the truth.
60). Although he knew the truth, and could even understand and justify the Lord as having said the truth, he had still not come into the truth.
61). The above point is a dangerous precedence for every person who knows all the truth about Christ, with a natural sense.
62). Such a person would come to a stage of great exaltation, and collapse as a house built upon a sandy soil without a solid foundation.
63). Such persons are disadvantageous followers who even through natural cleverness, control the saints.
64). Being limited to merely following the Lord, will definitely lead to political wrangling and curiosity over religious titles, positions and hunger for praises
65). The truth of God is the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the very Kingdom of God Himself, but the scribe was not even His disciple.
66). Unfortunately, the scribe was discussing with the Kingdom of God in Person, while he was probably viewing into the clouds as the kingdom of God.
67). The Lord said to him that he was not far from the Kingdom, because he had the knowledge of the scriptures, but he did not know whom they testify of. John5:39; Matthew 12:28; Luke 17:20-21
68). The scribe whose name was not mentioned, took Jesus as a colleague, but not as his Lord and Saviour.
69). Thereby he was listening to correct Jesus where he felt that He had gone wrong.
70). But not finding anything wrong in His words, he therefore justified Him in his own judgment.
71). There are perhaps people of such today who are very spiritual religiously without the Holy Ghost, even the Spirit of TRUTH.
72). May the Lord spread His courage upon all, for eternal salvation, which the Grace of God has brought to all men Titus 2:11-12.
32). Remember Matt 7:21 informs that it is not everyone that says to me “my Lord, my Lord” shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he that does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
33). See also Matt 6:10 in order to confirm that Christ has already brought down the kingdom of heaven to operate upon the earth, exactly as it is done in heaven.
