“But don’t be afraid of those who threaten you.
28 “Don’t be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot touch your soul. Fear only God, who can destroy both soul and body in hell.[j] 29 What is the price of two sparrows—one copper coin[k]? But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it. 30 And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. 31 So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows.
32 “Everyone who acknowledges me publicly here on earth, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. 33 But everyone who denies me here on earth, I will also deny before my Father in heaven. - Matthew 10
Message:
Commit to Follow GOD and don't turn back.
Observation/Promise:
GOD knows everything that happens and permits even the terrible things that happen to us. But we ought not to base our faith in our circumstance but our faith should be founded in the Almighty GOD who gave His only Jesus to sacrifice for the sins we have done and ought to pay. GOD calls all of us to follow Him but when we follow Him we have to make sure we fear nothing not even death. We have to make sure that we are willing to even give up our lives for Him.
Application/Command:

Application/Command:
When we follow GOD, we have to make sure we are committed whole heartedly because there is no chance to turn back once we are out in the field. We cannot decide to follow and then regret or look back if you do this, you are not counted worthy in the kingdom of GOD. Be sure of yourself before you even start vowing to follow GOD to the end. Remember Peter was not even able to carry out his declaration of love for Jesus because we are only human. But humility with commitment will bring you grace and mercy from the heavenly throne that will enable you to carry out the purpose that GOD has made you to do. Count the cost before starting the commitment.
