LAUNCH OUT AT HIS WORD
Luke 5:4-6
“When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” But Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net.” And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking.”
Luke 5:4-6 NKJV
There are few lessons here we can learn in this passage of the scriptures:
Peter was a hard working entrepreneur
At this point the tried and true strategies that had worked in the past - failed him
But against all odds, he trusted the word of the Word Himself
He was not disappointed.
Are you also a hard working entrepreneur who has proven strategies and techniques that have yielded results in the past but now it seems those techniques have ceased to yield as they used to.
Could it be that God is calling your attention to Himself?
From my experience and with examples that abound in the scriptures, we know few things are about to happen when it seems nothing is happening in your favor - what you may call a dry spell:
God is calling you into a new level of relationship with him - we see an example with Moses at the burning bush
Usually, such encounters are followed by a promotion for a greater assignment
Then what must you do?
It’s time to pay closer attention to your relationship with Him
Wait on Him for the Word to turn things around for you
Launch out at His Word:
You might need to revamp your strategy
Level up on your skill
Revisit that place of rejection
Ensure you execute what God gave you as your Word for this season
Then, Be ready for a net breaking breakthrough.
And do not let the fire dwindle in your relationship with God
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for your word that’s ever sure. The scriptures say forever oh Lord your word is settled in heaven. Help us to wait on you for the word we need to have a turn around in any stalling growth - be it in business, career or in our relationships. And when we have the word, grant us the grace to launch into the deep at your word for our net breaking catch of a breakthrough. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen! Amen!! Amen!!!
