Prayer before the Word:
_O God, I thank You for today. Please open my eyes that I may know You and walk accordingly in Jesus name, Amen_
TODAY’S TOPIC: An encounter that changes all things
Text: Luke 5:1-11 (NIV):
"5:1 One day as Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret, with the people crowding around him and listening to the word of God,
5:2 he saw at the water's edge two boats, left there by the fishermen, who were washing their nets.
5:3 He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from shore. Then he sat down and taught the people from the boat.
5:4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch."
5:5 Simon answered, "Master, we've worked hard all night and haven't caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets."
5:6 When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break.
5:7 So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.
5:8 When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus' knees and said, "Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!"
5:9 For he and all his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken,
5:10 and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon's partners. Then Jesus said to Simon, "Don't be afraid; from now on you will catch men."
5:11 So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him."
*SHOWER:*
Simon and his colleagues had toured round the rivers without been able to catch fish. The fishmongers had probably thrown their nets/traps all over the rivers unsuccessfully. But immediately they encountered Jesus Christ, they caught more than they had ever caught in their lives. That is our Lord's Jesus Christ ways of doing things. Once He comes into your life, you will receive all you had lost in the past. Why not encounter Him today? Stop procrastinating...kneel down and seek His face. He will surely deliver us!!!
*PRAYER/DECLARATIONS*
O God, I thank You for talking to me again. I have made up my mind to follow You. Please use me for Your kingdom works in Jesus name, Amen.
*1. My father, my God; I am available today. Come into my life and set me free from bondages.
*2. The Lord, God has come in to perfect all that concerns me. I hereby recover all my lost with faith.
*3. I hereby decree and declare a testimony change in my life. All that I need to showcase the light of God in my life are coming over to me now in Jesus name, Amen.*
