What Kind of Follower Are You?

Whenever the question of if you love Jesus comes up, the most popular answer is YES!  Are you a follower of Jesus? Another capital YES!

It is easy to believe that we love and obey Jesus, even when we are following Him for our own convenience. Or we are the ones leading Him. 

Have you ever thought that the bible is outdated? Or that Jesus is no longer relevant for the things of our age, He is “old school”. You have? I’m not surprised, I’m sure we all have. Following Jesus in this day and age, may be considered as different. You might sometimes not even be sure if you are genuinely following Him or not. 

So, to clear up that confusion, here are 6 types of followers of Jesus, let’s see where you fit in. 

GHOST FOLLOWERS 

These kinds of people follow Jesus from afar. They observe social distancing with Jesus. Choosing the things they allow Him access to. This is very dangerous because distance leads to compromise. If you do not stand for something, you will fall for everything. 

UNIONIST FOLLOWERS 

These followers know everything. They complain about every doctrine, everybody has a problem but them. They argue scriptures rather than be blessed by it. That talk about all the things that church should and should not do, that they block out the essence of the word. 

“Do not become an umpire in the race you are called to run”

CHOP- LIFE FOLLOWERS

These guys are all for enjoyment. They follow Jesus for what they have to gain. Suddenly remembers to pray when they have a request or problems. Materialistic followers. “God abeg” is their anthem. If you had a friend that only calls you when he/she needs something, would you indulge them? No, of course you won’t. “Jesus loves you but He is not out the sponsor your materialism, He is not bribing you to follow Him” 

I CANNOT COME AND DIE FOLLOWERS 

Just like it sounds, these are very lazy followers. They just want everything with convenience. They only participate in the things of God on Sunday and even come late to church. Jesus will not drag you around. 

OBA IDAN FOLLOWERS

These guys are the real “Ogas”. They are smarter than life. Sometimes they are the ones leading Jesus. These people follow Jesus because it’s a means to an end. They think they have everything under control, act like a relationship with Jesus is a business deal.

FAITHFUL FOLLOWERS 

Do you delight in the things of God? Are you always excited about doing the work of God? Are you always looking for how to expand His kingdom? Then you fall in this category. You are a faithful follower, you trust in the goodness of God. You trust in His process and design. This is the best kind of follower to be

It is important to note that Jesus loves us. He is calling for faithful followers, people who are willing to earnestly seek Him. 

I know sometimes it might seem like Jesus is slow or you want answers as fast as possible, but Jesus is never late. The right time is the moment He arrives. See your toughest battle as an invitation to follow Jesus. He is waiting with open arms.
