CONCLUSION

FOREWORD

"You are in the world, BUT not of the world.

In this time when the world, through its system of thinking, its sciences (technology, politics, economics, culture, religion, ...) is not only gaining ground but also possessing and swaying the hearts of the children of God (the Church), the Lord has chosen to work through His servant Michel KIMI to remind us of what should be fundamental for the Church: FOLLOWING JESUS CHRIST.

In this wonderful book, the author takes the time to talk about the history of a wonderful Savior and what is needed to follow the Lord.

This book is straightforward, practical, and of great utility. I recommend it to anyone, especially to members of the Body of Christ, who want to move from being a mere believer in God to becoming a disciple of Christ.

A child of God is one who has received and believed in Jesus, the Word (John 1:12), but a disciple of Christ is any child of God who has decided to do more: FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST (Matthew 10:38; Matthew 16:24).

There is urgency in the Church, the urgency to follow Jesus Christ and not the ways of this world (Matthew 24:35).

This book is a true blessing. Read, meditate, practice, but most importantly, share what is contained in this book, and I am convinced that the Holy Spirit of the Lord will enlighten you and help you truly follow Jesus Christ, that is, to become His imitators (Ephesians 5:1-2a).

Enjoy your reading, and may the Lord bless you.

INTRODUCTION

Thanks be to the Lord, God of the universe, master of all life, Father of all families on earth, who gave me the gift of a biological father and mother who know Him. My father and mother are the foundation of my Christian life. I can remember the many nights we all prayed together when I was still very young, and my father's teachings on the faith that are a firm assurance.

A few years later, I decided to make a personal commitment to the Lord because, you see, your faith has to connect directly with Jesus. You have to grow in faith and attach yourself to GOD on your own, not for fear of being punished by your parents if you don't go to church. Don't be dependent on the faith of your parents, but you have to connect directly to the love of God, who is none other than Jesus Christ. I decided to be committed to the Lord, and my journey began at the end of 2004.

Between 2009 and 2010, I was shipwrecked in my faith due to a lack of discipline, obedience, and guidance. I lived in fornication, watched obscene images and pornographic videos several times, and had a child with a girl. During that time, my
