OBEY NOT DISOBEY   

FAITH CAPSULE: Obedience is always in place against disobedience.

Luke 5:1-11, John 9:1-12  

The ability to launch deep demonstrates a violent faith. 
Obedience provoked a net-crashing breakthrough fishing when launched deep. 
Obedience to launch deep in the pack of catching fish demonstrates giving regard to the word of God. 
Launching deep is obeyed without backup plans is faith.
The Bible records about professional fishermen who had gone fishing all night and had nothing to show in the morning hour. 
After all night with no fish, they called it a day by washing their nets. 
In the attempt of the fishermen to depart, Jesus showed up by the Lake of Gennesaret.  
At that time, Jesus was a stranger to the professional fishermen. 
Jesus was never a fisherman, but He had the deep at hand. 
The Bible makes all realize, “In His hand are the deep places of the earth…” (Psalm 95:4) 
It will take only the deep to call on the deep for the deep to unfold what it takes to terminate struggle.
Whenever the word of God sounds and is obeyed, without doubt, or reservation, such shall become rewarded. 
The word sounded in the direction of the professional fishermen to “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” (Luke 5:4) After having received the word, 
Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word, I will let down the net.” (Luke 5:5) 
It was clear that no fish was available, but regardless, the word of His command was superior. 
Obedience was in place against disobedience, “And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking. So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats so that they began to sink.” (Luke 5:6-7) 
A net-crashing breakthrough was the result of obedience to launching deep.
The fishermen experienced the miracle of a breakthrough in the place of breaking down.  
Jesus, during one of His passing by, restored the sight of a blind man to provoke His detractors, “…He spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva, and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay. And He said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So he went and washed, and came back seeing.” (John 9:6-7) The point here is that the blind man did not question the word of God when he went to wash. 
The fact that the blind man did not know Jesus at the time of direction was not an excuse for him to question or doubt the word of God. 
Do not question the word of God.
Deny doubt, engage your deep, and struggle shall be terminated.

Prayer for today: Ask to be delivered from every spirit of doubt.
