57 And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
58 And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
59 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
61 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.
62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

MFM Devotional For Today 2026 MESSAGE:
Can Jesus commit Himself to you? We began looking at this profoundly great question since yesterday, and we ended it by asking you if your life could host the King of Glory? Apparently, there is an encounter that must precede this glorious privilege of Christ Jesus, the Lord of Glory committing Himself to you, or to any believer. Reading through the Bible, you will discover about seven types of fake encounters with Jesus Christ, such as: 1. Lip-service. 2. Insincerity. 3. Religious. 4. Half-hearted. 5. Unreal. 6. Selfish, and 7. Plastic imitation.

However, only very few believers have a genuine and deep encounter with the Master. Interestingly, all these forms of encounters can be reduced to only two models: Orpah Model and Ruth Model. Orpah was shallow, unreal, half-hearted in her desire to follow Naomi. Her heart was constantly fixed on her gods and her people as she was crying to follow Naomi to Israel and to her God. She eventually turned back.
Ruth, on the other hand, was very deep, genuine, and passionate in her resolve. She was ready to make a complete break with her gods, her tradition, her people, and with everything she ever held dear to herself. She went all out, following Naomi back to Israel, also making the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob her God. Consequently, grace found her as a Moabitess, and included her in the lineage of Jesus Christ. Remember, God told Moses many years preceding this time that the Moabites must never be allowed to enter His sanctuary; “No Ammonite or Moabite may enter the assembly of the LORD. Even to the tenth generation, none of them may enter the assembly of the LORD forever” (Deuteronomy 23:3, ESV).
Can Jesus commit Himself to you? If you really desire that Jesus Christ should commit Himself to you, there are necessary questions you must ask yourself: Am I truly born again? Have I truly experienced transformation by His Spirit? (You must understand that transformation is not suppression), Am I pure and holy? Am I a loving person? Do I fear God? Am I a broken believer? Am I living daily with eternity in view?
