Brothers and sisters, JESUS did not raise his disciples to be followers of men, JESUS raised his true disciples to be leaders, but they learned how to be true leaders from following JESUS only.
Brothers and sisters, I have followed after men before, but that was before I sought JESUS in his word for myself, to become a true follower of JESUS CHRIST.
Brothers and sisters, now that I know GOD through the revelation knowledge of JESUS CHRIST, and I have a personal relationship with GOD through the wisdom of GOD, which is CHRIST JESUS, then I would look like a great fool to continue following after mere men, when I know no man can compare to JESUS, or even come close to the wisdom of GOD in CHRIST JESUS!~
(MATTHEW 4:19-20) Jesus says, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
And the disciple’s straightway left their nets, and followed Jesus.
And going on from there, Jesus saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and Jesus called unto them.
And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed Jesus.
(MATTHEW 16:24) Jesus says, if any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
(LUKE 14:27) Jesus says, and whosoever does not bear his cross, and come after me, he cannot be my disciple.
(LUKE 14:33) Jesus says, so likewise, whosoever he be of you that does not forsake all that he has, he cannot be my disciple.
Brothers and sisters, I guarantee you that you’re not going to ever hear this word preached or taught in your church buildings, because if this word is preached or taught in your church buildings, then people would stop following after men, and start seeking after JESUS with their whole hearts, minds, and souls!~
Brothers and sisters, if the majority of Christians were truly following after JESUS with their whole hearts, minds, and souls, then there wouldn’t be so many false prophets, false pastors, false apostles, false bishops, false priests, false evangelists, false ministers, and false teachers, in the religion of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Catholicism, or the Hebrew Israelite religion
Brothers and sisters, If all Christians, Jews, Catholics, Muslims, and Hebrew Israelite’s were truly following after CHRIST JESUS with their whole hearts, minds, and souls, then there would be no spiritual abuse, greed or manipulation, and people would not be chasing after signs, wonders, miracles, money, prosperity, and material possessions, because they would be too busy seeking after JESUS with all their hearts, minds, and souls!~
(JOHN 10:14-16) Jesus says, I am the good pastor, and I know my sheep, and my sheep know me.
As the father knows me, even so I know the father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
And other sheep I have which are not of this sheepfold: then I must also bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one sheepfold, and one pastor.
(JOHN 10:27) Jesus says, my sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
(JOHN 10:5) Jesus says, and A STRANGER THEY WILL NOT FOLLOW, BUT WILL FLEE FROM HIM: FOR THEY DO NOT KNOW THE VOICE OF STRANGERS.
Brothers and sisters, all the true followers of JESUS CHRIST know voice, and they only follow JESUS, because real leaders follow real leaders.
(MATTHEW 11:28-30) Jesus says, come to me all you that labor, and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek, and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest for your souls.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Brothers and sisters, This is JESUS crying out for you to come directly to him, that you might learn of him, but many of you will not come directly to JESUS, that you might learn from JESUS, because you’re too busy following after men, and chasing after men!~
Brothers and sisters, JESUS was only with the disciples for three years, and after those three years JESUS went home to be with GOD the father, and after JESUS left, all his disciples became leaders like JESUS, and they went around the preaching and teaching the gospel of JESUS CHRIST, and making disciples out of all nations of all people!
“So now the question remains, are you a follower or a leader?”
Brothers and sisters, I don’t know about you or what you know, but I know GOD for myself through the revelation knowledge of GOD in CHRIST JESUS, and since I know, then it will be a cold day in hell before I follow another man or woman, when I for sure they don’t measure to my JESUS/GOD!~
And I don’t care who you are or who you think you are, for if you are not CHRIST JESUS, and I don’t know you by the spirit of GOD, then I would not follow you up the street to the nearest corner store!~
