Topic: Keep Fishing
Bible Reading: Matthew 4:18-22 (KJV)
18And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
19And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
20And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.
21And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.
22And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.
KEY VERSE: “And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Matthew 4:19
Message
Timothy loves to go fishing with his grandpa. He was always looking forward to the holiday time when he would have the opportunity to go to grandpa’s house. Day one of their fishing trips, Timothy was happy to catch a lot of fish with his hook and the bait.
Fishing either at the streams or ponds is always an interesting adventure. The Bible talks about some fishermen who were called to fish for men rather than catching fishes. Jesus called Peter, John and Andrew out of the fishing occupation to go and fish for men. This means, they were to go into the world not with nets and baits but with the Bread of life to bring sinners into God’s kingdom. This is the most important and urgent assignment for all friends of Jesus. Bring the sinners next to you through your preaching, sharing of tracts, Christian literature and exemplary Christian life.
There are lots of blessings awaiting everyone who obeys Christ’s command to preach the gospel. It is a lifelong assignment that must be taken with all the seriousness it deserves. Keep fishing for sinners.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father, give me the courage to carry out the great commission.

1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
