Exposition
Simon answered, Master – There is no
evidence to say that Simon had heard of Jesus yet he responded to Jesus Christ
by calling Him, Master. He recognised the authority of Jesus Christ. You have
probably heard of Jesus Christ, or you have experienced His power or you have
read about Him. Friend, He is still the Master for He is irreplaceable. He is Almighty.
He created the heavens and the earth and everything in it. Take your reading
this note today as a call from Jesus Christ. He is knocking on the door of your
heart and all you have to do is the heed the call and I can assure you, that
your life will be changed for the better.
we've worked hard all night and haven't caught anything – Simon was the expert fisherman and He assumed Jesus had no clue about
his seeming predicament. Simon and his colleagues were a hard working bunch
like many today but with little to show for it. Proverbs 13: 5 says good understanding giveth favour, but the way
of transgressors is hard. A life of obedience leads to favour from heaven but a
life of disobedience which is sin leads to a hard life putting it mildly.
But because you say so, I will let down the nets. When they
had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to
break – Peter went on to obey the command despite his
feeling that the possibilities were slim. The result of obedience in this
instance was the power of God attracting fish from wherever they were and
positioning them into Simon’s nets. If every man could obey Jesus in all situations,
the result would be a life of blessing just like Simon encountered. Jesus does
not disappoint. Have confidence in Him, obey Him and you’d get every blessing
that is available to man from heaven.
Prayer
You are my Father and my Lord. I honour you my Master. Thank you
for calling out to me. Help me to continue hearing your voice. I fall in line
asking that you lead me day by day. Let me live to enjoy every blessing of
obedience in Jesus name. Amen
