How To Be An Authentic Follower Of Christ

Pastor Joseph Oloimooja

Life Tips from the Maasai Village Chief

Our attitude should be like Christ's, who, although deserving worship and exaltation, God emptied Him and He took the form of a servant.

After humbling Himself, He became obedient, even to death. (Philippians 2:5-11, Luke 14:11)

When we are weary and discouraged, His example of endurance in suffering should help us. (Hebrews 12:1-3.) He commands that we love one another as He has loved us, and He laid down His life for us. (John 15:12-13)

He commanded His disciples to follow His example of service. (John 13:5-15) Those who follow His example of serving will be great in His Kingdom.

Christ invites us to come to Him and take His yoke. (Matthew 11:28-30) Those who hear His voice and follow Him have eternal life. (John 10:27-30)

We should be imitators of God and walk in love as He did. (Ephesians 5:1-2) Husbands should love their wives as Christ loved the church and gave Himself for her. (Ephesians 5:25-27)

The Messiah's footsteps will be our pathway. (Psalm 85:12-13) We should be merciful, just as God is merciful. (Luke 6:35-36) We should be holy, just as He is holy. (1 Peter 1:15-16, Leviticus 11:44-45)
