“And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
Matthew 4:19 (KJV)
What started as a simple conversation between Jesus and these ordinary men has resulted in a spiritual transformation in the lives of people, even in this present moment. These men not only listened to Jesus’ call to follow Him but also responded by surrendering their lives to the ministry of the Gospel. They became remarkable disciples – winning others to Christ for the building of the kingdom of God and ensuring the continuous spread of the Gospel unto the ends of the earth.
A simple conversation resulted in a worldwide life-saving ministry.
My friends, that same opportunity is available to us today once we are willing to completely surrender our lives to the work of kingdom ministry. The lives of many are in a state of hopelessness and decay, and it’s only the Word of God that could bring true peace and restoration in this time of war and inner turmoil. God gives us beauty for ashes, reassurance in doubt, and shine as light into the darkness (Isaiah 61:3, Psalm 18:28). It is our job to make ourselves available and share hope in our Saviour. Save those on the verge of giving up.
Brethren, heed this call as the Holy Spirit guides you. Many people are waiting to hear that voice of reasoning and the Word of God that will inspire them to make a positive decision.
