Memorise
There is that scattered, and yet
increaseth; and there is that withholdeth
More than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.
Proverb 11:24
Read
Luke 5:4-7,
4 Now
when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and
let down your nets for a draught.
5 And
Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have
taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.
6 And
when they had this done, they in closed a great multitude of fishes: and their
net brake.
7 And
they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they
should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that
they began to sink.
KJV
MESSAGE
There are rewards for righteous behaviour
and there are punishments for evil deeds. The person who gives freely will
never lack good thing while the one who believes that there is wisdom in being
stingy will never receive anything. There are some people who mainly focus on
their wealth. They are never concerned about the welfare of others.
Unfortunately, they are short-changing themselves because when you don’t give,
you can never have an opportunity to be blessed.
After speaking to them multitude from
Peter’s boat, He told him to launch out into the deep, and the miracle of that
catch was so evident that it had a lasting impact on all the beholders; this is
what is considered the quality of a true miracle. There is a user of this devotional, I decree in the Name that is above all names,
my Father will give you a mouth-watering miracle in Jesus’ name. It doesn’t
matter how hard things may be, your blessings will be daily manifested to the
would in Jesus’ name. There is nothing as pleasant as the Lord instructing you.
The moment I hear my father instructing me on anything, it doesn’t matter how
hard it may be, I obey, knowing that it will always end in my favour. The
reason some people withhold what they have is because they don’t want it to
leave their hands, but in the economy of God, whatever leaves your hand does
not leave your life, it will always bring forth a great harvest.
From the experience of Peter and his
colleagues, their nets broke so bad that they had to beckon on others to help
them. I have always said this; there is at least one of my children who when he
goes to the bank to deposit money, because of how much the money usually is,
the bank closes for 3 days. And I believe this will be your portion in Jesus’
name. No matter how hard it is to believe, God is not bothered, because He will
still do what He wants to do just to show the world that He is God.
In the words of a hymn writer, you must
always remember that you are not your own, you are bought with a price, (1st
Corinthians 6:19-20). Give your whole life to Jesus; let Him take all your
moments and your days. Withhold not your hands from moving for Him. Let your
feet be swift in His business. The moment we give our lives to the Lord, we
become partners with Christ. Just as in a partnership, there are nominal
partners and there are active partners. This is equally applicable in your
relationship with Christ; you cannot put in your all and lack any good thing.
Some people have money, but some of the most precious things in life are
priceless. God has divinely selected you so that He can be glorified in your
life. Peter waited on the Lord with his boat. He wasn’t in a hurry; he did not
see himself wasting away while others were busy catching fish, and one
instruction from God made the results of others pale in comparison to his. As
you wait on the Lord with your sacrifice, service and gifts, the Almighty God
who controls the times and seasons will give you an unprecedented breakthrough
in Jesus’ name.
Key Point
If you honour God, He will honour you in return.
