TOPIC: STUDY ON LUKE 5:1-11: 5.
NOT BY EFFORT
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 5:6-7
6 And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking.
7 So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.”
God is ready to enlarge our coast. He is ready to make us great beyond our request. Most times we depend on our effort and not His blessings. We focus on our experiences and professionalism than God’s ability. The attention we are suppose to give God we divert to business but still, we end up toiling without good result for our effort. God determines the happenings around us, when you give Him attention He attend to your needs specially.
Peter would have replied Jesus, “Oga am tired, pls come down from my boat, am going home” but he didn’t. All his effort amounted to nothing throughout the night but he still attended to Jesus. Jesus told him to try again and spread the net, he complained about his toiling through the night but still went on to do according to his instructions and the blessings show forth.
Peter would have explained the time and season of fishery to Jesus, that the fish will be resting by now, as we believe the time for serving God is our business time. We give more attention to our business than the things of God. We hardly sacrifice our time to hear His plan for our life but plan our business diligently. He needs our attention to reach out to us. Do you give Him the attention He’s requesting from you?
God Bless you and Good Morning.
