Simple Obedience

*MEDITATION*

Luke 5:6 "And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish; and as their nets were [at the point of] breaking."AMP

Point to ponder on: Simple obedience can deliver to you an outstanding miracle. Just obey His Word for the season and reap the blessing that comes with it.

Peter and the tool for his business were available for the Lord and Peter never hesitated to lay it down for the master's use, and not just that, he positioned it for the master's comfortable use.(See Luke 5:3) What are you giving up to please the Lord and get His attention. Peter gave his boat without coercion to get the attention of Jesus. What are you going to give this new season to get His full attention? Is it Tv show, overeating, oversleeping, name those habits. Is it time you need to create for Him out of your busy schedule? What is it that you struggle with in following Jesus wholeheartedly? Think about it. The Lord will help you get through in Jesus name.

What did Peter get from giving up his boat for a short time Jesus preached on it? He got overflow, something beyond his imagination. He never told Jesus he had toiled as a professional fisherman and caught nothing, but the Lord knew his need and frustration, and after giving up his boat Jesus compensated him with overflow. However, the overflow came through humility, trust and obedience to Jesus' word.(See Luke 5:4-5) He wisely told Jesus of his toil and failure over the night as a professional knowing the night time was best for fishing because fishes would normally come to the top for food. But he couldn't argue on his professionalism, rather he trusted on the living word that is capable of turning around situations. Even without a foreknowledge of what Jesus' word would do, he humbly obeyed and was dazed at the result he got, such that he considered himself inadequate to deserve such blessing as a sinner. If you are ready to experience a new dimension of God in your walk with the Master, obedience is key. Forget how much you know when you are before the Lord. In fact, to experience the supernatural, walking in faith requires that you suspend your brain to get the invisible God to do the impossible.  If you don't, over-thinking based on what you think you know might be a stumbling block. Therefore, get ready for His word anytime and when you discern a word is coming from the Lord through whoever He might choose as His mouthpiece, you better grab it for your miracle.

Consequently, when Peter obeyed, he got his net breaking miracle. What you need this year is just simple obedience to His word. The Lord will send you His word for your case at every instance you need it this year in Jesus name.

I celebrate you.

Good morning. Enjoy His peace.
