For even hereunto were ye called:
because Christ also suffered for us,
leaving us an example, that ye should
follow his steps (1 Peter 2:21).
The Lord Jesus, in His earth-walk, led an
exemplary life. Not only was He a phenomenal
intrusion into the sense realm, He was extraordinary
in all facets. He was never in want; He had no
consciousness of need; He was always in charge of
situations and circumstances. He was a marvel, to say
the least. He used words like no one ever did.
There isn’t a more perfect example for us to
emulate than Jesus. He exercised absolute mastery
over circumstances; never flustered or ruffled by
anything. Every word He spoke came to pass. Once,
He was in a boat with His disciples and they heard
Him talk to the boisterous winds and waves. Prior to
that time, they had heard Him talk to a tree, and the
tree withered from its roots. He talked to blind eyes,
and to lame legs, they all heard and obeyed Him.
No wonder they asked in utter bewilderment, “What
manner of man is this?”
Well, I’ll tell you the manner of man Jesus is: He
heads up the new creation. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says if
any man be in Christ, he’s a new creature; a new kind of man; this new kind of man is like Jesus. We’re of
the same stock. 1 John 4:17 says, “…as he is, so are
we in this world.” This is the reason we can emulate
Him. Our theme scripture tells us to follow His steps;
in other words, follow His examples, because as He
is, so are we. He said in Mark 11:23, “You shall have
what you say.” Hallelujah!
Practise this even now: command any boisterous
wind and wave that may be billowing against your
finances, your job, your academics, family, ministry,
etc., to cease. Speak to diabetes to be healed; tell
that cancerous growth to dematerialise. Like Jesus,
you can talk to anything and it’ll obey you. That’s the
example Jesus left us with, His very steps that we have
to follow.
PRAYER
Thank you blessed Father, for the worthy and glorious
examples of Jesus. I take charge of situations and
circumstances, and reign in this life over Satan and
the elements of this world by the power of the Holy
Spirit, and authority in the Name of Jesus. Amen.
