[Church of Nigeria] 28 Jul 2008--When Christ calls, it involves sacrifices. It involves giving up certain things. It involves self-denial. It leads to denial of some personal interests or belongings that one has been used to or dependent upon. It leads to a choice - life’s important decision. When Christ called Peter and Andrew, they had to leave their professional trade. When He called the sons of Zebede - James and John, they had to leave their trade and father who was the director of their fishing business and followed Christ to become fishers of men. The decision of these disciples of Jesus was not an easy one and so it is with any follower of Christ. It is an expensive decision to make. It involves real sacrifice and the future is not immediately understood.
