Are these two of the most powerful words in the Bible? I think so.

As Jesus walked along the Sea of Galilee, He merely uttered these words and grown men with vocations, loved ones, homes, and possibly families … made an abrupt change and joined this mystery man who preached a message unlike any other.

Today these words have the same impact. However, HE speaks them, not us. As the scripture says, “Unto HIM shall the gathering of the people be.” Paul said, “Be followers of me AS I FOLLOW CHRIST.” This is the formula for New Testament leadership.

PRAYER: Father in Heaven, work Your work in us. Cause us to be the leaders and communicators that will honorably represent Your Kingdom here on earth.
