Matthew 4:19-20 (NKJV)
Then He said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men."
20 They immediately left their nets and followed Him.
Follow Me children of God and I will make you fishers of men. Not all who are called will come,
but those who choose will hear the 'voice of the Shepherd' and will follow Me.
To those who hear, to those who are willing I will make them fishers of men.
The price: lay down your nets (the things of this world),
lay down your life and I your Lord will give you Life in abundance,
a life flowing with rivers of living water, a life filled with more than enough,
never will you lack, your cup will run over.
You will be satisfied, to be satisfied child of God is to walk in My ways,
to desire the things of God and walk as one anointed in Christ.
I bring rest for your weary soul; I bring peace unlike any other.
This world does not bring peace; it cannot bring what it does not know.
What I bring is more than sufficient in every part of your life.
I do not bring the desires of the flesh, that what is earthly and which will fade away,
I bring life, I bring light, I bring truth.
Lay down your nets, the troubles of this world, the things that fill you with anxiousness,
the things that consume your days, the thing that seems so important that you are unable to give it up.
This is not freedom child of God, this is bondage.
What do you fish for in this life? With what do you fill your nets? Put them down and follow Me.
I am Life, I have what you need, you will not be empty. Come to Me with all your heart and I will fill you.
Many have been called yet few will answer, few will receive their rewards.
They fill their nets with the things of this world and not the things of God.
Put down your nets and follow Me. Allow Me to give you rest.
Thank you ABBA.
