The Jesus Followers | Pray for the Bad, Pray for the Good (CEDM)


'The Jesus Followers' are a missionary family based in New Zealand. Titus, a member of the family, made a personal commitment to producing FREE Christian music that would encourage the next generation, yet remain faithful to the Bible. 

Let me share with you this interesting fact... Titus is not a professional music producer, but rather he calls himself "just a music lover who collaborates with talented people to create songs aimed at teaching the Bible and glorifying God". These are his first two works! 

It is inspiring to see how God is able to use our talents and bless the work of willing hands for His glory.

'Pray for the Bad, Pray for the Good' is a beautifully made track based on Matthew 5:43-47. "You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?"



Lyrics:

You have heard that it was said
You shall love your neighbor and your friends
And hate your enemy
But I tell you it’s not true
For those who curse you
You shall pray
Pray for the bad
Pray for the good
The power is His
It’s all we should
Do while we’re here
Keep your brothers near!
Let His will be done
Let His will be done
Let Your kingdom come
Let’s all engage our hearts! 
Our Father in Heaven, makes the sun rise 
On the good and the evil
He sends rain, on everyone, just and unjust
Pray for the bad
Pray for the good
The power is His
It’s all we should
Do while we’re here
Keep your brothers near!
Let His will be done
Let His will be done
Let Your kingdom come
Let’s all engage our hearts!
Therefore perfect you shall be,
As your Father in Heaven, is
Therefore perfect you shall be,
As your Father in Heaven, is
Let His will be done
Let His will be done
Let Your kingdom come
Let’s all engage our hearts!
Let’s all engage our hearts!

"Come Alive" by Joel Lane: Finding Life Where Emptiness Used to Live

What if nothing you chase can truly fill the emptiness?  Emptiness has a way of following you around, no matter how fast you run. You chase a feeling (or things you believe will get you higher up “the ladder”), land on it for a moment, and then watch it slip through your fingers again. Joel Lane captures that feeling of restlessness in the opening lines of his song “Come Alive”: “Emptiness, chasing a feeling, trying to fill the void inside.” Sound familiar? Most of us have spent years searching for a purpose that felt just out of our reach.  Joel sings about how something happened that put everything in a different perspective. “You opened my eyes, now I see the light, I’m never going back.” That’s not a small statement. That’s a complete change of direction, a different way of living, a change the kind that can only happen when God steps into the picture.  The apostle Paul writes about this change of direction in Ephesians: “But God, being rich in mercy, because of the...

"In Awe of You" by True Vine: Let the Heavens Teach You to Worship

When did you last stop and remember who God is? Life moves fast, doesn’t it? Bills pile up, seasons shift, and our attention drifts toward whatever crisis is loudest that day. True Vine wrote “In Awe of You” to interrupt that drift. The song pulls our eyes off our circumstances and points them back to God Himself — not what He’s done for us lately, but who He simply is. Drawing from the names Scripture gives Him — Elohim, Adonai, El Shaddai, the Great I Am — the lyrics declare, “Who compares to You?” That’s not a rhetorical flourish. It’s an honest question worth sitting with. Think about the weight in a name like El Shaddai, God Almighty, or Adonai, Lord and Master. These aren’t titles pulled from nowhere. Each of His names is a testimony. Testimonies by people who have witnessed how He provided, protected, and stayed faithful when nothing else proved to be steady. The lyrics call Him “Faithful and True,” and the bridge declares: “The heavens are roaring, declaring Your glory.” This...

"Set Free" by Kristin Ambuhl: Naming Your Real Enemy

What battle are you really fighting today?   Some enemies wear a smile. Kristin Ambuhl calls this out in her song “Set Free”. The song calls these enemies a “favorite shadow” who’s “throwin’ words like daggers” while “hiding behind your laughter.” This is much more than a person who is being difficult. Kristin wrote this song about the daily spiritual battles we face as believers — battles found in arrogant people, dark influences, and forces that work to pull us away from who God made us to be. Whether it’s small fights or big ones, she’s naming them all.  The song doesn’t stay stuck in the shadows. Kristin declares, “I’ve been set apart, I’ve been set free, from my enemies, against dark powers, rulers, and authorities.” Part of that line echoes Ephesians 6:12: “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” W...
