Who follows who in the zoo ?

Do people follow you or do you point them to Jesus ?
John the baptist said "I must diminish so that He may increase".
Its a tough one if you want to be popular, but there is no other way. Its not all about me and my ministry, or you and your ministry - its about pointing people to Jesus, showing them who He is and helping them connect to God and each other, grow and make disciples themselves.

Its the commission, it did'nt sound like "Make ye all a ministry so that others may follow you and establish followers of them..", it was clear and precise....

Matthew 28:19-23
19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

Whats with all the personal ministries, whats that all about ? Whats with all the adoration that goes on for Holy men and women - they appear holier but appearences can be deceiving ...

Did you know that you are holy - you are called ?

1 Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

Make disciples who look to Jesus, who make disciples who look to Jesus, who make disciples.....
