We all know that the water is the thriving habitat
for a fish, as such you would agree with me that the day a fish decides that it
wants to go for sightseeing on the land, that day it becomes a source of
protein for man. Many humans are in a dire state of confusion, frustration and
depression because they have left their natural habitat and are now struggling
to survive in their “man-made” habitat.
This is a world where we are all searching for that which
is lucrative so that we come become celebrities overnight, which is where many
of us miss it. The word of God came to Jeremiah in Jer 1:5 that, “Before I
formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the
womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.” Imagine
Jeremiah now decided he preferred doing business to occupying the office of a
prophet, I am sure the Bible would have recorded him as the most wretched
businessman in the Old Testament.
When Apostle Peter was called by Jesus and the
journey began, the one-time prosperous fisherman started going about with the
Son of man hath not where to lay his head – in order words, they were squatting
around. Apostle Peter could have easily said, “Sir, I need to change
profession,” but he kept following and abiding and then one day Bible says the
uneducated man was seen addressing educated people and in Acts 5 scripture
says, Apostle Peter’s shadow was healing the sick.
1 Cor 7:20 says, “Let every man abide in the same
calling wherein he was called.” Sir/ma, whatever God has called you to do,
please keep doing it because in doing it lies your promotion and progress in
life. David kept shepherding and from there God lifted him. Elisha kept
following Elijah and from there God lifted him. Always remember that a lizard
in America WILL NEVER become an alligator in Japan.
Be wise!
