PURPOSE WILL COST YOU EVERYTHING

Let that sink in for minute.

Now, let me expatiate.

You see, when Jesus called His first disciples, Peter and his brother Andrew, all He said to them was, "Follow me and I will make you fishers of men". [Matthew 4:19]

That was all they heard, and all they needed to hear.

Guess what? The Bible recorded, "They immediately left their nets and followed Him"

The word, "immediately" there is so powerful.

One of the things God has been showing me lately, is that Obedience is a journey but it starts with an immediate step.

It starts with faith! Believing without seeing. Acting immediately as you're told.

God will only show you where He is taking you; He will often leave the details of how you will get there out but you must still trust Him by leaving everything else to obey Him.

I have a question for you today, what is your own "nets" today?

What is that thing you are not willing to leave to pursue your purpose?

Some of you, it's the security of the rat race of your career, for some, it's the praise and opinions of people about them, for some it's the pursuit of wealth and affluence, for others, it's the need to belong to a group of people.

Listen, purpose will cost you your nets, and if you are going to live a fulfilled and successful life in God's account, you must be willing to let go of your nets today!

You know your nets. You may pretend as if you don't but you do.

God has been speaking to you all along. You know what's holding you back.

Don't let them hold you back anymore!

I believe in you.
