Luke 5:4
4 When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”
God
wants to bless you — big-time! It was for this reason that He said to
Simon, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”
The deep is where you will find a whole lot of fish. You won’t find them
near the shore in shallow waters. But to launch out into the deep is to
move away from the comfort of the shoreline.
My friend, God wants you to break away
from your comfort zone and step out in faith to do what He has put in
your heart. It may be something simple, but which you have never done
before or only dreamt of, like attending a care group. A church member
did just that and found love. Today, she is happily married.
Now, our Lord Jesus who said, “Launch out into the deep…” also said, “… let down your nets
for a catch.” Notice that He used the plural “nets” and not the
singular “net”. Beloved, God wants to give you more than what you need.
His dream for you is bigger than anything you can ever dream of. Dream
big and God will exceed your dream because He delights in giving you
exceedingly abundantly above all that you ask or think. (Ephesians 3:20)
Another church member who was formerly
working for someone else had wanted to start his own company. When
praying with him, I received a word from the Lord for him to launch out
on his own. When he did that, he made a handsome profit at the end of
the first month alone! Today, he has more than one company and his
businesses are flourishing. God is blessing him beyond his wildest
dreams!
Beloved, God wants to bless you beyond
your wildest dreams. He did it for Simon who was astonished at the size
of the catch of fish. (Luke 5:9) But it was not until Simon launched out
into the deep that he ended up with the net-breaking, boat-sinking load
of fish. (Luke 5:6–7) You, too, will be astonished at your catch when
you step out of your comfort zone and launch out into the deep with the
Lord!
