Your wealth as God’s Platform

28 Jul Your wealth as God’s Platform

At the lake where Peter was fishing, Jesus saw 2 boats and one of them belonged to Peter.

🎯Fishing was his business, although he had toiled all night and caught nothing.

🎯But Jesus saw the boat as a platform.

🎯Whatever God has given you, is to be used as a platform.

🎯Your gifts, your skills are His platform

🎯If Peter had said NO to Jesus, when He needed the boat to preach, it would have closed the door to his purpose

🎯He was a sinner who did not see Jesus as significant.

🎯But Jesus needed the boat to preach to people.

🎯Whatever opportunity God has given you is for His platform not for your greed.

🎯If you hold on tightly without giving back to Him, you will lose it.

🎯The other lesson from the encounter was that the Bible text was silent on the sermon Jesus preached.

💥That is because sometimes, what is done is more important than what is said – lives that change, like Peter’s.

🎯He was washing his net because it was over.

🎯But a new thing was about to happen, as it happens to people with endurance.

🎯Jesus told him to fish deeper, which didn’t make sense.

🎯But sometimes what God has for you is in the deep.

🎯You have to believe in yourself to go into the deep, invest more in the Lord

🎯God can give you something for which you have no reference; and not based on anything you know.

🎯He can use what you have put away to bless you.

🎯Give Him what you have – money, skill, time, and He can break your net with blessing.
