Matthew 4:19-20

Walking along the beach of Lake Galilee, Jesus saw two brothers: Simon (later called Peter) and Andrew. They were fishing, throwing their nets into the lake. It was their regular work. Jesus said to them, “Come with me. I’ll make a new kind of fisherman out of you. I’ll show you how to catch men and women instead of perch and bass.” They didn’t ask questions, but simply dropped their nets and followed.

The call to follow Jesus is a call to transformation. He does not leave us as He finds us. He leaves no area of our lives untouched: family relationships, friendships, our perspective on life, work, leadership and the world in which we live, all are fair game. Jesus doesn’t come to justify our current lives, He comes to call us to real life. Are you ready to trade in your life to find real life? Are you ready to follow Him?

One of the things that resonates with me, about F3, is the way I’ve been transformed by it – it creates more productivity in my day, encourages me, pushes me to be a leader and team player. Praying that we would all choose to lead where necessary in our lives, and follow as necessary.

“Told To Follow Freed to lead”

We are programed by the world to solve every problem and work it out on our own power.   This can be a frustrating endeavor  because many of life’s challenges are out of our control.  We can become distracted trying to see into the future and fail to lead in the areas of life that God has called us to because of the distraction.    God has simply calls us to follow him. He is in control and is in and before all things.   Proverbs 3:5-6 says Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. When we follow him and trust that his has our present and future in his hands we are freed to lead in the areas of like that he puts in front of us.   Let’s be men of impact that follow Christ and therefore are feed to lead.

James 1:19 Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger;

  • Anger is an emotion created by God and although often directed in the wrong places is a Godly trait.
  • “Anger is energy aroused in defense of something good and related against something evil.   If you see someone oppressed and you don’t get angry you are not like God.”  
  • What am I Defending and what am I attacking?
