Truths to Live By: Focus on what the Lord has revealed to you and your assignment


Listen Later

Follow me" is an important 'call' of Christ, to all who believe in Him. Simple, yet His call is not obstacle free. Teaches all to trust Jesus who gives us what we need.
The early followers learned this lesson and it's a lesson still being learned by believers today.
It's human to get distracted from one's role or assignment in fulfilling the Great Commission, especially when comparing oneself to another or becoming overly concerned with what the Lord reveals to another.
In John 21:20-23, Peter is learning this life lesson. He's hit the obstacle and is overtly concerned over the Lord's plan for John, the beloved discipleship of Jesus. Peter is quickly corrected by Jesus that this matter is none of his business. Jesus reminds Peter to essentially refocus, by saying "Follow me".
In this message, Andrew shares how all Christians will benefit from heeding the word given to Peter, in that God's plan for one's life, is up to the Lord. He determines the outcomes, we do not. We are to trust Jesus.
We all have roles and assignments to discharge, each role, gifting, ministry, activity is invaluable.
Let us learn from Peter's interaction with Jesus to heed the instruction of overseers responsible for our very soul and to focus on the assignment that the Lord has revealed to us to walk in, as part of fulfilling the Great Commission.
