Bible Reading: John 21: 1 - 14
Topic: He Is In Control
Jesus' two previous
appearances to the Disciples to prove to them that He had indeed rises and to
manifest His Power and Glory took place in Jerusalem.
In today's account, He met
seven of them at the sea of Tiberias in Galilee.
They were there engaging
in their secular occupation of fishing but not for men as He had earlier
commissioned them.
As in the earlier experience
(Lk. 5: 5) they toiled all night with nothing to show for it.
This time too, the
miraculous catch of fish convinced them it was Jesus
Jesus also fed them with
the fish He provided though He later invited them t bring some of theirs.
Do you know that Jesus is
always in complete control of your affairs as He was for the Disciples, even
when you can't see it?
He is there to remove your
shame and frustration and provide for your needs as long as you put your trust
in Him.
Leaders are also reminded
not to take hasty decisions as Peter did because those they lead would almost
follow them.
Resorting to past
"occupation" or "life" is never the best option especially
when you have left for good.
Always look unto Jesus to
take you forward.
Prayer:
Lord, may Your Grace be
continually sufficient for me, in Jesus Name, Amen
Memory Verse: John 21: 12
"Jesus saith unto
them "Come and dine" And none of the Disciples durst ask Him, Who art
Thou? Knowing that it was the Lord"
