KEEP ON BELIEVING

December 24, 2013

Apostle Peter set out very early in the morning to go fish. As usual, he let down his net and started having a chat with his fellow fishermen. After few minutes, he decided to bring the net back up only to discover that there was no single fingerling in there. This kept on going on and on for hours until the night came. As he was getting packed to go back home, Jesus came and said, “cast you net in there again.”

This was a little confusing for Peter as he was a professional fisherman and for someone who might never have gone fishing before to be telling him what to do. However, one thing that stood Peter out was that he was a great believer. In Luke 5:5, Peter said, “Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.” In verse 6, Bible says when they had this done, they caught a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake. 

Bible says that the word of God is sharper than any two edged sword. In Matt 17, tax collectors came to Peter to demand for Jesus’ tax. Peter was angry, I guess because he knew there was no cash readily available with them. Jesus however told him, chill, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.

Peter knew that a fish was an animal and not a bank, but because he understood that in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God and that the Word was the One that gave that order, he went there and it was as Jesus said it would be. Keep on believing the word of God. Remember that to him that believes, all things are possible.
