TODAY’S TOPIC: Visitations by God of difficult hours
Text: Luke 5:1-10 (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."
SHOWER (Reflection):
Do not be surprised or run away when things seemed not to be moving smoothly. It could be God o'clock...the time God wants to visit you with blessings no one can count. Here disciples were tired and probably thinking of what to tell their family members after a toil without fish. Jesus intervened and they caught unimaginable! This kind of story happened to Joseph when he was only busy interpreting the dream he had and solutions, God made him a governor. Such a thing can still happen to you if only you can tarry faithfully. Today, God will surprise you with your dream job or contact, in Jesus name, Amen.
