Keep your Eyes on Jesus!
“Now he said this, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. When he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.” Then Peter, turning around, saw a disciple following. This was the disciple whom Jesus loved, the one who had also leaned on Jesus’ breast at the supper and asked, “Lord, who is going to betray You?” Peter seeing him, said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?” Jesus said to him, “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you? You follow me.”” (John 21:19-22 WEB)
Sometimes we become nosy Christians, looking around at others who seem to be more blessed, more loved, more favored by God than we are.
We ignorantly ask Jesus, “What about this person?” when it’s none of our business.
Everyone has their own walk with the Lord, and you can’t compare your walk with someone else’s—that’s just a recipe for unhappiness.
There’s always someone who’s going to seem more blessed than you, but you didn’t see the seasons of preparation that he or she went through with the Lord in private.
Why compare your new beginning with someone else’s greatly increased latter end? It’s two different seasons—of course it’s going to look different!
What’s the common denominator between some of these men of God in the Bible: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, David, Elisha, John the Baptist, Jesus Christ and the apostle Paul.
All of them had seasons of obscurity where they were trained and prepared by God—oftentimes through great hardship, before their public ministries.
You see a fellow Christian living the blessed life now, but you didn’t see when he or she was suffering, crying, praying with face to the ground, patiently waiting for the Lord’s deliverance.
Don’t envy anyone but you can learn lessons from Christians who have gone through hard times and triumphed through Jesus’ faithfulness.
Peter didn’t need to envy John. On the day that Jesus poured out the Holy Spirit, Peter preached a powerful sermon and three thousand souls were saved that day.
John also had a great destiny, being the only one of the apostles who didn’t die a martyr’s death.
He also wrote the Book of Revelation, recording all the crucial end times prophecies and visions for us.
God surely has a good plan for your life, and you only need to keep your eyes on Jesus—follow Him through His Spirit who lives in you.
Today if you’re feeling discouraged from seeing everyone around you having it better than you, see Jesus telling you, “What is that to you? You follow me.”
Your time of promotion and lifting to a broader place of abundant life is surely ahead of you!

Testimonials for the book:
“One of my most trusted teachers has truly written a masterpiece. I can't put this book down.”
- Michael Clark, Highly Sought-After Preacher in USA
“Thank you, Milton for the anointed sharing of the 37 miracles of Jesus. Right from the 1st miracle, God dropped fresh revelations of His heart to me. It wasn't head knowledge that I experienced. I felt His personality, His loving heart's intents towards me. On top of that, there's also revelation of His healing power. Praise Jesus for transforming my heart and bringing me closer to Him through Milton's sharing.”
- Ann Tan, GEM patron from Singapore
