IS THE
WORD ENOUGH ?
“And
Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have
taken nothing; nevertheless Thy Word, I will let down the net”- Luke 5:5
In Matthew 5:1-12, Jesus Christ released a
list of those who are blessed and favored from the heavenly planet. Whether
earth accorded them the same relevance or did not. Peter had come to his wits
end. At that point, he saw the limit of human wisdom, knowledge and abilities.
His best could fetch him nothing-not even a fish! But then he had an encounter
with Jesus and that produced a turning point. Getting your breakthrough is not
necessarily dependent on new technique discovered, but on fresh revelations
received from the Master. Each revelation produces a transformation.
“And
Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have
taken nothing: nevertheless at Thy Word I will let down the net”- Luke 5:5
Before Peter had a divine encounter, he
first had a revelation of the Word. He had observed how the Words from the
Lord’s mouth always brought positive outcomes. He had seen the Word bring hope
to the hopeless, life to the lifeless and change to the static. He had observed
that the Word had integrity. It was dependable. When sent on a mission it never
failed. As a result of this, he made an exception for the Word. He told the
Lord, “The only reason I will make another attempt in this hopeless situation
is because you have involved your Word. Period!
Revelation provided its receipt a platform-
a foundation on which to lay desires and requests. Many of us have seen the
power on God’s Word both in our lives and in the lives of others around us. Yet
we have failed to see what Peter saw. If you find it difficult to believe the
Word, it is because you have not caught a revelation of it. We keep looking for
other foundation on which to base our decisions. If the Word is not enough, a
divine visitation or intervention mat continue to elude you.
The Word was enough for Peter. To embark on
that job, to take on that marriage partner of finalize that crucial decision;
hear God’s Word, ask God for a confirmation. Thereafter, you can safely act on
it.

Lord, open my eyes that I may behold the wondrous things out of your Word.”- Psalm 119:18 in Jesus name. Shalom!
