DCLM Higher Everyday 30 November 2022 Devotional by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — No lack, No limitation

TOPIC: NO LACK, NO LIMITATION

TEXT:LUKE 5:1-7

1And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,

2And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.

3And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.

4Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.

5And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.

6And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.

7And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.

MEMORY VERSE: “And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net” (LUKE 5:5).

MESSAGE:

Have you ever felt the urge of the Spirit to read a particular topic just before an exam, and you reluctantly obeyed; and on getting to the exam hall, you saw questions from that topic? What was your disposition when you confidently answered the questions? Happy and grateful to God, right? Our text today reveals steps to success – a problem, a divine instruction, obedience and then, the miracle.
Jesus revealed His omniscience and omnipotence by performing a miracle for Peter. Peter had toiled all night but caught no fish. However, he obeyed Christ’s command that seemed to him unrealistic. This resulted in a huge catch of fish.

You and your family may be going through some material and financial struggles. Jesus can bring the solution. Pray and God will speak to the situation. Like Peter, simply obey the Lord in everything, even if you do not understand.

Make your talents and possessions available for the Master’s use, and He will ensure that you have no lack or limitation. Obedience to God in the face of uncertainty opens doors to miracles.

QUOTE: God will speak to your situation.

CHALLENGE: Obey Jesus even when it seems to make no sense.

PRAYER: Help me Lord, to lack nothing through obedience.

GOSPEL REALM: STEPS TO SALVATION
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)
