C - Christ's example is my focus and target

As a faithfulcity, your ultimate role model is Christ. Think about his life, how he did not consider it something to hold onto, as equal with God. Scripture says 'and the good pleasure of the Lord prospered in His hands'.
The words of Jesus are in a class of its own. He spoke as one with authority and the same authority He gave every believer when he was about to depart the earth.

If Christ is your example, it is means you are following after his footsteps. Here are some amazing things about Jesus whom you are following:

- Jesus raised dead people back to life.

- He healed the sick everywhere.

- He said he would die and rise from the dead. He did!

- He walked on waters and made one of his followers do same.

- He fed multitudes with a single lunchbox.

- He spoke to the wind and it obeyed him.

- He loved sinners and came chiefly to reconcile sinners back to God.

- He prayed for you while he was on his earthly ministry. John 17:20

When Jesus was about to leave the earth, he declared that ‘all his followers will do even greater works than He did’.
So I want you to backtrack a little and read the amazing things that he did again. Did you catch it now?

Don’t think of anything less if Christ is your focus, target and role model. If you are not ready to be his follower then it is understandable you won’t need to walk on waters as a faithfulcity. 
It is the least thing you can do as a proof of your followership. Let the world see Jesus in your eyes! 
You are the only ‘Jesus’ the world can see today.
