MAKING THE WORD WORK 2
Text: Luke 5:4-6
By: Adeaga O. Favour
What you believe in is what works for you, so, until you learn to believe God's word, it doesn't work. From today's reading, another important thing that can make God's word to work is obedience. Peter had the option to either launch his net again after several attempts or refrain from doing so.
All of God's blessings are accessible on the platform of obedience. Peter obeyed the instruction and he got a net breaking result. See, anytime you disobey, you deny yourself access to the provisions imbued in the instruction. A simple act of obedience can terminate a long night of fruitless effort. Obedience positions you for the promised blessing.
The proof of an obedient life is in the corresponding action taken. Peter said "Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I WILL LET DOWN THE NET," Luke 5:5. God's word is not just for recitation sake but to be acted upon.
REFLECTION FOR TODAY:
To get the wonders of God's word, do whatever it says!
PRAY:
Lord, baptise me with the Spirit of obedience.
