When you chose, you are choosing for all, whatever you say or do, some people are copying you. When you turn your yes to look at something, those sitting next to you will definitely turn their eye to see what you are looking. Everyone has followers, if you are building people are building with you. If you are destroying, people are destroying with you. Everyone in this world is saying “do as I do” (Judges7:17). Like begets like. Salt produces salt. Salt, are you?
When you attend meeting on time and punctually, you give offering of N10 even though much as N1000 is there in your pocket you are telling others to do the same. When you answer roll call of N20 you are telling others to do the same, are you a man worth emulating (Phil4:8-23).
When you know you are going to church and you go with your working instrument which is the Bible others will copy. When you dress well and is always clean others are copying you. Moses was known as the meekest man on earth. What are you known of? Solomon was knows as the wisest man and the richest man on earth. Christ was known as the most sacrificial man on earth by laying down His life for us, He is a man worth copying. Do you come with your Bible to church meetings or just your handsets? Abel is a man worth copying. A family worth copying do you have such a one? Enoch pleased God. What you known of?. Christ asked His disciples what people were saying He was. What do people say you are? A destroyer or a builder? (Matt5:13-16). Do people say of you is an adulterer? What type of family are you raising? Eli could not raise a God fearing family so did even the prophet Samuel. The end will tell. What will be your end on earth.
Right now what are your ends where you go and places you have been. Paul leaded well and he could say I have fought the fight, I have kept the faith. Jesus fought to the end and could say, “Go and tell that fox that I will work and three more days I will finish my course”. The harvest is plenty but the workers are few, Afia Nsit has expanded their corps hall. Ikot Uso Ekong solders are now boasting of some of them being apostles of expansion. They intend to build a story building, we here, is this space enough for us?, (2kings6:1-4, Haggai1:1-15). Where did the axe head fall? (2kings6:5-7). You were someone worth copying but now you have lost your saltiness. You can stand up again, you planned to expand the church but stopped somewhere, you can pick it up. A church worth emulation, are we one? The church at Philadepia did not have any blame, we can be one. It is a church worth copying, the heroes of faith in Hebrews11:1-40 are men worth copying.
You can be a politician, teacher, civil servant, soldier, business man, father, leader worth copying. Let us all say like Paul “follow me as I follow Christ” therefore be imitators of God as dear children (Eph5:1-2, 1Tim4:12).
