Saturday, 17 July, 2021. TOPIC: STUDY ON LUKE 5:1-11:
BE HUMBLE ALWAYS
Memory Verse: Romans 9:16
“So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy.”
Bible Reading: Luke 5:8-9.
“8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!”
9 For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish which they had taken;”
Often, we believers take the mercies of God upon us to be a result of our righteousness. We feel we are righteous that’s why God has been blessing us, helping us and favouring us. That we are alive is not a prove of our faithfulness, but a prove that God loves us and want to us to be a useful vessel in His hand.
Peter identify what he received as what was not deserve. He knew he was not that righteous to enjoy such benefit from God so, he was optimistic that he was a sinner who is not qualified to enjoy such blessings from God. He cried to Jesus to depart from Him because he was a sinful man who doesn’t deserve such attention from God.
When things are working for you stop seeing them as what you’ve worked for but as a way of God reaching out to you. Those miracles, favours, help and faithfulness of God around you is a way of God calling you to himself. He is seeking for your attention. Surrender yourself to Him today before it’s too late. He keep blessing you to turn your attention to Himself. Come and dine with Him, He is calling you as He called Simon Peter. What will be your response to His calling?
