READ: Acts 1:1-11
“…And he saith unto them, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.“ – Matthew 4:19
The teachings of a person and the things he does are equally important. To follow Jesus Christ you must follow both His teachings and the things He did. Each gospel contains the teachings of Christ as well as the stories of the things He did. The teachings of Christ are in red and the things He did are in black.
There are many things Jesus Christ did not teach about. Indeed, there are many things He did without explaining what He was doing. That is why Theophilus was advised to learn from what Jesus did and taught.
Follow men of God by following their teachings. It is important that you understand that some people are gifted to teach what they know. This results in some people having many teachings, doctrines, codes and ideas that they share. For instance Kenneth Hagin, a great prophet and healing minister, taught extensively about how he practised the ministry and how he achieved great things for God. I have been able to learn many things about the ministry by gleaning from his teachings.
Follow men of God by following what they do. His life (what he did) consists of his family life, his habits, his marriage, his ministry , his friendships, his associations, his achievements, his problems, his crises, his sorrows and his pains. All the happenings of the man of God’s life will minister to you. This is how you follow someone; by following the things he did.
