In this episode, we are using the story of Jesus and Peter in the boat in Luke 5. Jesus tells Peter to go back out, and Peter catches so many fish he has to call his friends to come help. But that wasn't the end of the story- the goal wasn't a successful fishing trip, it was to test Peter's obedience, show Jesus' power, and call Peter to be his disciple.
We may be praying for more fish, but we can't become so focused on the fish that we miss the bigger the purpose!
Why would you want more responsibility? Let me give you a few reasons -
- You were created for a purpose. Therefore, if you are not operating fully in that purpose, although you may be comfortable, you will not have a peacefulness in your soul. Because God will continue to pursue.
- You were given spiritual gifts to have an impact on the Kingdom. You have the ability to help, guide, and even show the love of Jesus to someone. You can bring the hope of Christ through your giving, your love, your availability - you have no idea the impact you can have on this world when you are open to Christ using you in a powerful way.
- We have the amazing privilege of receiving our inheritance through Christ, through nothing we can do on our own except believe that Jesus is Lord and Savior. That is amazing. And God gives good gifts to his children because of his unconditional love. However, we know that obedience pleases God. We also know that jesus said, “If you love me, obey my commands” John 14:15
In Hebrews 11:6 - “And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.”
It’s your choice, friend. I will say this - I feel very strongly that revival is coming, and that the revival fire will be heavily flamed by business. Where we put our money and our influence matters. Who we help, how we serve, what we say - it all matters to the Kingdom and it matters as to how God will use us for bigger things.
