Our theme
for this month is DIVINE EXPLOIT.
Last week, as we looked at Luke 5:1-11,
we considered the story of the fisher men who were retired because of their
fruitless labour. They could not catch any fish despite their expertise. So
then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that
hath mercy-Rom.9:16 KJV
Labour demands physical exertion of strength but
Favour shows the appearance of mercy and grace. It is not the amount of work
you do that determines wealth but the favour that God breathe into it. It is
not who started first but who did the best and got to the end. God will turn
your labour to favour this month in Jesus Name.
I pray for you today that the Lord will show you
mercy. In this third month of the year, Jesus will appear to you before you
lose hope. May His grace and favour find you before it’s too late. In the
fruitlessness of their work, a hope appeared. Jesus came around their work
place to fulfil His mission on earth. May He visit you in your work place this
month and cause a change in your life and business in Jesus Name, Amen!May He
pay a visit to you at home, in your business place, school, marriage, health
and other areas of your life in Jesus Name! He had need of the empty boat. May
He find you empty enough to use.
Jesus needs an EMPTY life to operate. He won’t come
in if it is already filled up with other personalities and cares of this world.
You need to empty your life for Him to come in and fill you. Empty your life of
Sin, dirty life style, malice and hatred, anger, immorality, habitual stealing,
lies and all other life style that doesn’t glorify Him. He is looking for empty
vessels to use to accomplish His mission on earth. When He saw the empty boat,
He used it. If He sees you available, He will use you. I pray for you that you
will make yourself available for Him to use in Jesus Name.
He separated the boat from the land. He asked Peter to
push a little into the sea. Jesus always looks for men who are separated from
the crowd to use. He never wanted any contact with the crowd, so He moved
dipper into the sea where the crowd cannot come. He is always interested in
people who lead a separated life. When you go dipper towards the river which
symbolizes the depth of the Holy Spirit, you become visible to the crowd, but
if you stay with the crowd, no one will notice you. You need to separate
yourself from people who pull you down spiritually. There are men who
demoralize others, identify them and flee from them. Look for spiritual giants;
they don’t stay on the land but in the ocean of the Holy Ghost leading a spirit
filled life.
The boat belongs to Simon Peter and He was willing
to release it for the Lord’s service. Peter donated towards evangelism and
missions. He was willing to sponsor the mass evangelism vision and ministry of
Jesus. God is looking for men who have the mind of Peter to release their Cars,
Houses, Properties, Money, Intellect, Talents and Gifts for the use of Kingdom
work expansion. Peter never struggled with releasing his boat. He never argued
with Jesus and never questioned why He should use his own instead of the other
one or what He wants to do with his boat. He simply obeyed the Lord’s
instruction and moved the boat a little into the depth of the river. May you
allow Him access into your life in such a way that He can take possession of
your properties for His own use in Jesus Name, Amen! Don’t struggle with your
Tithe, First Fruit, Church and Sunday School Offering. Don’t hide your talent
and gifts in the church. He needs them to enlarge His kingdom. If God is
leading you towards sponsoring gospel programs on Radio or Television after reading this article, kindly get in touch with me. To
