*Memorise* :
" _Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life_"- John 8 vs 12

It has become pertinent to ask this generation, this question above. Whoever you are following can determine your destination,and eventually what follows you as well.

The bible says anyone who want to follow Jesus must be a sheep and not a goat or dog(John 10 vs4-5).

As a youth while in secondary, school i was a follower of Tupac Shakur.

As a passionate follower i listen to his tapes,dressed like him, knew his date of birth and even believed that he was not dead.

Beloveth, it is either you are following the onise iyanu(the miracle worker)or the onise iranu(the evil worker).

Paul said in the verse below that you should follow him as he is following Jesus.

_1 Cor 11 vs 11: Be ye followers of me, even as i also am of Christ_.
