Topic: Those who chose to follow Jesus were awakened people 

Highlight: 

Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him. Matthew 4:11 NIV

Happy New Year to you readers out there. Its been a while and I have come to say, I wish you the best of your years this 2026. Today, I wish to share with you why your problem persists. I will make it brief as I can. Count yourself fortunate for reading this. There is a Spiritual rule in the Realms which is known by all enlightened souls out there. An enlightened soul could be good or bad person. What is the Spiritual rule. Let's dive God's word. In our Highlighted verse, you will realise that during the period of time that Our Lord Jesus the King of Kings and Lord of Lords was tempted by the devil, The angels left him. This is same for everybody. The Spiritual rule is simple, you can only be devoted to one master or Lord at a time. Whenever you are dinning or being entertained by angels, the devil will leave you until the angels leaves you, and whenever you are associating and communicating with the devil the angels leave you until the devil leaves you. It happened to Our Lord and Savior in Matthew 4:11. It is a Spiritual rule: “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. Matthew 6:24.

Now, that is the rule. So, in Matthew 4:25 Large crowds from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea and the region across the Jordan followed him. These people who followed Jesus are awakened people, they way higher than enlightened people. Their heart have been prepared and ready to follow after righteousness and when they see the Lord, they recognized him as the way, the Truth and Life John 14:6, and followed him. If it is difficult for you to follow Jesus, to listen to Gospel, to go to church, to listen to worship and Christian music, you may be enlightened but not awakened. 

What makes the difference? 

The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds, Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 2nd Corinthians 10:4-5

In these verse, and awakened child of God does not argue with their master. If your Christian life is still living in an argument with the instructions of Christ, no angels may come to your rescue, secondly, if you are still dwelling in imagination and thoughts rather than purpose, discernment and obedient to Christ. For example, you are the one controlling how the word of God rule your life, then, you are just an enlightened believer. I am not judgemental but I am showing you what to do. Stop the sin of imaginations and thoughts and come into to total obedience and submission to Christ. 

But Samuel replied, “What is more pleasing to the LORD: your burnt offerings and sacrifices or your obedience to his voice? Listen! Obedience is better than sacrifice, and submission is better than offering the fat of rams. 1 Samuel 15:22

If you have not yet surrender your life to Jesus, and you wish to do so, pray this

 Prayer: "Lord Jesus I come into awakening of myself to stop imaginations and thoughts that argue with your Lordship and I surrender my life to you today. Please accept me as your follower and bring me to your fold. I accept you as my Lord and Savior. I repent of my sins and promise to follow you awakened to your will. In Jesus name. Amen. Now look for a faith based and Bible Believing church and go and follow Jesus. Also get your Bible app and start learning about how to be followers of Jesus online and in book reading from now on. I wish you a Happy New Awakened life. 

Prayer: Lord Jesus, I am your followers and your sheep. Be my good shepherd. Keep me awakened in your worship. IN Jesus name. Amen.
