Basics tools in SIMPLICITY According to Luke 5:1-11

The simple story of Luke 5:1-11: There is a teaching on every verse by verse......The calling of His first discples,This is what we need to do, going way back in order for us to see change in our Ministries....

1} Let God come first in our ministries.... These people left all they were doing and we BUSY PRESSING ON each other to hear the word s of Jesus. Brethren where the spirit of the lord is there is liberty.. if it is so in our churches.. why do we have so many latecomers and absentees in our churches today? whereas we say we coming to meet with the Lord?Why can't our members be like these who were so hungry to hear from God .. They had him 1st;May we also have the Zeal and go back to seeking God's face Day and Night. The over nights prayer meetings should be for both the preacher and the flock. {Praying pulpits begats praying Pews by E m Bounds}

2}BE EMPTY For God to use us.... many times we want God to use us while our hearts and minds are occupied with some petty things that leaves barely any room for the Holy spirit to operate in our lives. The 2 Boats were empty not occupied.Mary was a virgin... her womb had previously never been defiled. Light cannot dwell together with darkness. May God help us to EMPTY ourselves that we may be readily availble for his use to carry the message of Love, forgiveness and healing to the nations.

3} God is a God of second chances.... We can trust him in our ministries. after He finished attending to the crowd. He turned on to Simon and ministered to him. Simon was busy washing his nets while Christ was ministering, He missed to hear what christ was giving because he was distracted by the chore of washing nets which requires alot of time. I pray that Nothing will be our distraction in the service to God. May our forcuss be on the calling and assignments He assigned to us for we shall one day answer.

4}Lauching to the DEEP....... Jesus asked them to lauch their nets into the deep.... The big treasures and found in the deep not the shallow waters.. the giant fish whales and king of the sea are not found in the shallow water,We have to DIG Deeper in the things of God. Studying deeper the word of God before we preach it , praying harder.. my dad mr warui said..we have been to comfortable with the shallow preparations.. the only difference that a student who studies ahead of the teacher and the one who does not is that he knows and understands better the material that is studied in class it is like a review not not new material.OOh may we be willing to go an extra mile in holiness, rightiousness, truth and even as we profess christ.

5} Master.. Yes know the Voice of your master. simeon knew that it was not a man Speaking but the master of all universe He adresses him as Master... May we learn to hear THE VOICE OF THE HOLY GHOST and distinguish it from all other voices as we serve him. He will lead us to where the treasures are. commune with the Holy spirit my dear servant of the Lord.

6}OBEY.... they Obeyed... One you obey God Your ministry will be blessed to the overflow.... Halleluyah!disobedience to God has consequences.. Before I accept any invitation I always ask the will of God.Disobidience is what is causing stagnancy in our ministries remeber the story of Jonah.

7}They BECONED To their friends.. Once God blesses your ministry everyone will know YOU have been blessed. even the people who ignore or tried to bring you down!The sanbalats and tobias will also witness in your life that God has come thru for you,, It happened to Anna after being redicculed by penina it will also happen to you.

8}Repent for Unbelief... It Is God who called you if you have been reluctant fall at his knees and ask him to take over your ministry

.10} FORSAKE ALL and follow him...... THE 2 CHANGES that took place

i} They changed from fishers of fish to the fishers of Men. many are still in the wrong ministries we have been called to serve the lord.

ii} They were toiling all night without Jesus and caught nothing... but when HE came they saw results of their all night work... Christ has to be the centre of your service HAVE YOU BEEN TOILING ALONE OR WITH THE MASTER JESUS IN YOUR MINISTRY?
