The earth is the Lord’s and the fulness thereof says the HOLY BOOK. God is
the maker and the owner of all things. Whatever a man has is given to Him by
the grace of God ( John 3:27; 1Corint
4:7). God as the source expects us to give back to that SOURCE. This is one
way of ensuring steady supply. In God’s Manual to Man- The Bible- Man is
commanded to give offerings and pay tithes to GOD according to the measure of
blessings received (2 Corint 8:12).
Until we are willing to obey God along this line we are not yet ready for
net-breaking miracles.
In Luke 5:1-7 we see Peter, a professional
fisherman. Peter with his men had gone out for business. Throughout the night
Peter and his men had tried all they could to make good business but all were
in vain. They were utterly disappointed as all their efforts ended up with
negative results. They had given up and were about to go home with no hope of
putting food upon the table for their families. This is the case of many people
today from day to day. Thwarted efforts! Hopelessness! Continues
disappointments! Life without food upon the table when needed!
A POSITIVE TURN-AROUND: In Luke 5:3 we see the giving that changed
the story of Peter. He had given his boat for the progress of the work of God.
He had GIVEN HIS BOAT TO GOD-A GREAT HONOUR. Mind you at this time he had no
other thing to give-nothing! But he had to give at the time it is needed and
GOD CHANGED HIS STORY (Luke 5:5-6).
Today God will change your story as you learn to honour Him in Jesus Name.
Prov.3:9- Honour The Lord with your substance and
with the first fruits of all your increase: and so shall your treasure house be
filled with plenty.
Learn to obey God and it shall be well with YOU.
