Lend Jesus Your Canoe For His Pulpit

THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: Wednesday 17th June, 2020.
TOPIC: Lend Jesus Your Canoe For His Pulpit
TEXT: Luke 5:1-5 

MESSAGE
In this account, Jesus ask Simon Peter to lend Him his boat to use as a pulpit to preach unto the crowd that thronged Him. When Peter agreed, Jesus like Elijah ask the woman of zarephath to go further to prepare him first a meal as the woman was to give him water, also prayed for Peter to thrust out the canoe farther a little from the land and hold it in anchor while He (Jesus) preached the sermon. Brethren,  when you lend Jesus your life or wealth or prosperity as pulpit, He pull you out of the pit of ignorance and wanton destruction of the devil. For you to achieve success in life, you need to obey simple instruction. 



When the master was through with the sermon, God who is not unrighteous to forget our work and labour of love, which ye have shrewed towards His name in that ye have minister to the saints and do minister (Heb. 6:10) asked Peter to launch out into the deep and let down his nets, for a draught. Although Peter did argue as a professional and one who had mastery in fishing knowing that the day light had come and the crystal  clear river would not allow the fishes to surface and coupled with the fact that it was this same river that he had toiled all night when it was easier to catch fish suddenly realized that it was Jesus who was asking him to do so and in verse 5 of our text answered,
"Nevertheless, at thy word, I will let down the net". Beloved, with Jesus, there is no impossibility. Stop looking at the situation and never work any longer by sight. Work by faith and you will be in for a  draught (a big catch). Good day.

PRAYER POINTS: 
START WITH PRAISE & WORSHIP..
1. Thank God for a new dawn.
2. Father give me liberal and understanding heart.
3. Pray that God should find your boat worthy for the master's use.
4. Pray that God will not forget or leave your labour unrewarded.

Don’t Look Back!

Don’t Look Back! Luke 9:62 – And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. Have you answered the call to serve God as His son and daughter? Have you totally chosen Jehovah as your God? Have you decided to leave your old ways and cleave unto God? If yes! Beloved I congratulate you. But hope you took the cost of your choice?? [Please refer to yesterday’s sermon] God doesn’t want us to look back when we have answered the call, why? This is because of the following: Firstly, it brings shame to the body of Christ and makes people to despise Christ. Looking back is to be lukewarm and to depart from the first love! [Revelation 2:4, Revelation 3:16] Secondly, looking back makes the believer to suffer backwardness spiritually and physical. The faith of the believer suffers and takes a longer time to be rebuilt. [Hebrews 6:4]. Thirdly, looking back will make the person not to complete whatever he or she has started. This is w...

Faulty Covenant

Faulty Covenant Hebrews 8:7 [7] For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. Covenant as a strong bound that is not easily broken can be faulty. The covenant made betwixt God and the Israelites was a faulty covenant in this time of Grace but perfect in it's time. The covenant wasn't to lead sinner's unto Christ's but it was to lead them unto their destructive end quickly. The old covenant was a period of darkness and pains (because it was more by works and not by grace) but thanks to God who invalidated the old covenant and gave us the covenant of Grace where Jesus is the mediator no longer Moses. God spoken of the new covenant long ago in Jeremiah 31:31; it was manifested in Christ. This new covenant brings light to the soul. Every covenant that do not bring light to your life, be destroyed now by fire! Whatever makes you to live by work and not by grace be destroyed! For God's name sake, let everyt...

Everlasting Not Temporal!

Everlasting Not Temporal! Jeremiah 31:3 – The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with loving-kindness have I drawn thee Hello God’s Love! There is a love greater than the greatest love you have ever experience on earth, that love is the Love of God. Malachi 1:2. God love all but all don’t have the same love effect or love level. Long before we were born, God has already loved us. This His love is everlasting not temporal. This love is not subject to some conditions before it is demonstrated or shown. This love just flow from God our Father to us supernaturally. This everlasting love of God has made Him draw us from the troubles and problems of this world to His place of joy and everlasting peace. [Ephesians 1:3, Hebrews 1:1-5]. The fact remains that we did nothing to acquire God’s love but we do things to grow His love for us. In the same way, despite what we do His love for us remains but we ...
