September

Hello my yielded family. I hope we have all been doing well. Welcome to the month of September. By all means, command your month! Pray and declare things you want to see in September. I really love this picture. The moment they decided to act on their faith, they didn’t know the fish were already waiting for the net. The fish brought themselves to position. How did all those fish come together to be positioned where the net would be cast? Faith In Action.

I’m pretty sure most of us know how it feels to toil for hourssss for nothing. Eiii I was once employed at some company, worked all day , with every bit of energy in my body ; come monthend ; there’s nothing! No evidence that there was some work done! Even when you meet people and you tell them you are a fishermen , you must not only smell like the sea, you must show them the fish. Here are the disciples, known as fishermen, arriving at work at the right time. They had the skill. They had the health (you must be healthy to be able to work all night). They had a boat. They had a net. They had the drive and zeal. They had colleagues who could encourage them to keep casting the net maybe until dawn. Maybe things would change. Hardworking men who didn’t sit on their abilities but the bible says, even with all this going on, the net that was supposed to catch fish, caught nothing.

The degree that was supposed to get you the job got you nothing. The skill and talent that was supposed to bring you before great men, is almost a blunt knife. You were so sure the beauty would get you the husband, but not even one man says hie. You had imagined that the business idea would work out, the business plan is perfect but it’s been years and all you have is the net. Its not an issue of laziness. It not an issue of unpreparedness. It’s not that you don’t seize the opportunities on time. It’s not that you don’t invest time in your craft and maybe right now it’s almost dawn and you’re about to quit … “Maybe not now. I should look for another plan. Another course. Another job. Another this. Another that.”

Peter had toiled all night without any catch. It was not an assumption but a reality. I have a problem with people who “assume” others aren’t working hard to get jobs or become productive because they aren’t seeing results. Before you call someone lazy, find out what they do. Know their routine. Jesus did not assume that the men did nothing that’s why they have no fish. He simply brought a solution. Bring solutions or keep quiet. See something, the fish did not fall from the sky! The word spoken by the Master of the universe called them all into order! The solution is there! The problem is number one, you don’t have the word from the Master, and you have not learnt how to operate like the Master. Fish will not come because you have a degree! You must have some dominion and the dominion given to man is dependant on the WORD OF GOD!

Today, l want us to understand this. We are nothing without God. I don’t care the titles the world has given us and what we think we have. Even the intelligence of man is foolishness to God. We need the mercy of God. We need God to help us! Man I know people who toil. All night, all morning, all day but look at their lives and it seems as if they’re lazy. There are people who have spoken against those who toil because they saw no fish. “They don’t want to do something with their lives. They are not zealous.” Eiii! But they shouldn’t have! Imagine slandering Peter because you saw no fish but Peter was really out at night WORKING!. Friends, there are times of fruitless toil. We continue to Labour in cycles until we meet the Master! And guess what, the word they received and acted on, did not come from one of their fishermen friends.. it came from Jesus.

This September, listen to Jesus. I know there’s many advices. People are saying study this instead. Go to UK instead. Try bitcoin. Invest in this and that. Why don’t you start this business? Or join this team. Apply for this job. In all this, as good as it is to receive advice, hear what Jesus has to say. Hear what Jesus has to say about September. The fruitless night can change to something beyond your imagination, if only you, hear what Jesus has to say! Let’s continue tomorrow.❤️
