*NEVER LOOK BACK*
📜📜```TEXT:LUKE 9:57-62```📜📜
📖```MEMORY VERSE:``` _*"And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God" (LUKE 9:62).*_
*_Cambridge English Dictionary_ states succinctly that: Never look back entails to continue to be successful after doing something with a good result.*
*A Christian writer posited that, "You are responsible for your life, for your feelings, actions and for every result you get. You are in control of your thoughts. You have the ability to stop thinking about one thing and to start thinking about something else. Once you take personal responsibility for your life and actions, you will begin to improve your ability to respond to external factors you may not have control over."*
*The kingdom's call demands that you give an absolute attention and unalloyed commitment to its course. Following Jesus has to do with surrendering all, and walking in His steps. The footprint of Jesus makes the pathway to glow. As a youth of God, follow the footsteps of Jesus.*
*You must count the cost of following the Lord and must lay aside the thoughts of great things in the world. "Looking back leads to drawing back, and drawing back is to perdition," said Matthew Henry.*
