Topic:HE USES FISHERMEN
Memorise: Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble,
are necessary: 1st Corinthians 12:22
Read: Luke 5:1-11
Bible in one year: Genesis 17-18, John 13:1-30
When the time comes for God to fulfil a plan He has predestined to
happen, He looks out for those He can use for this purpose. God does not
discriminate in His choice of persons to use to accomplish His mission. He can
use the great or the small. When the time came for Him to choose those who
would serve and learn His Son, He chose some raw fishermen. Our God is awesome,
and His ways are past finding out! In today’s Bible reading, when Jesus found
Peter, He told him that from that day, he would no longer catch fishes from the
sea, but human souls from the world. If God can use a raw uneducated fisherman
like Peter, He can use you more. You are very useful to God. However, do you
make yourself available for His use? Ironically, as the number of ministers is
increasing, the number of those who are available for God’s use is decreasing.
As a result of this, many people bear the title of minister, but they are not
available to perform their assignments. Have we forgotten the acronym F.A.T.,
which stands for Faithfulness, Availability and Teach-ability? If God will use
you, these three must be the code you live by. Today, because the people we
consider more suitable for kingdom assignments are either too busy or giving
too much excuses, God is moving to those who have made themselves available to
do His work, even when those people appear less suitable for the work, even
when those people appear less suitable for the work. Are you available to serve
God? If you can create time to do your secular work that you will have to leave
someday, why can’t you create time to serve your Maker who can reward you for
your service in eternity?
There are some people who feel God cannot use them, because they have
not yet bagged a degree, amassed some wealth or become famous. Oh, how mistaken
they are! Do you know that God can use you just as you are? He can use you even
in your limited state, if you will only turn your life over to Jesus. Do not
wait to get your miracle first before telling others about the love of God. In
any way you can share the gospel with the unsaved, go on and do so. Lead others
to Christ. Use your influence to motivate people to do the right thing. Be a
positive, holy influence on your peers. Remember, if you bear fruit for God’s
kingdom, it will be His responsibility to do what He can to make you more
fruitful.
Action Point:You are very important to God.
If you fail to play your role in the Body of Christ, it could bring losses to
God’s kingdom. Determine to play your role today.
