TOPIC: STUDY ON LUKE 5:1-11: INSTRUCTIONS PRECEDES GOD’S BLESSINGS
Memory Verse: Duet. 28:1
“1 “Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the LORD your God will set you high above all nations of the earth.”
Bible Reading: Luke 5:3-4.
“3 Then He got into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And He sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat.
4 When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.””
Many Christians didn’t fail in prayers, fastings or service but failed in obeying and carrying out God’s instructions. God doesn’t bless you without giving you an instruction. The answers to our prayers are always instructions, directions and commandment. So when you fail the instructions you loose the blessings, I pray for someone today, may you be able to recognise and follow God’s instructions rightly in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
Peter gave all he had with him to Jesus ministry but that doesn’t bring the blessing directly. Instructions follows after his service, commitment and sacrifice. Just like Naaman, he was expecting Elisha to come and lay hands on him and receive the healing but it came with an instruction. At the Red Sea, instruction was given to Moses to stretch the rod to the sea. Likewise, instruction was givem to Peter, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” God is not a magician, He has His principles to every blessings He releases. Most times, His instructions looks stupid, foolish and insultive but thereby, we loose the blessings attached to it.
Can you have a rethink, hope you’ve not rejected the instruction that was suppose to lead you out of that situations? Hope you’ve not ridiculed God’s commandment because they look too normal or doesn’t look real? God might have finish your case long time by giving you some instructions to follow but you’ve not taken them. If yes, search it out and start doing what He says. He told Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, I wouldn’t have believed it was God speaking to me if I were in his shoe, but, He was the one. Stop delaying your blessings and follow God’s given instruction for your breakthrough.
Father, open my eye, my ears and my heart to your instructions to me in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
