FAITH CAPSULE: Today, learn from Sarah to judge God faithful.

Luke 5:1-11

Hebrews 11:11 recorded, “By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised.” The key for Sarah to live life and obtain the promise of God over her life is clearly identified that she judged God faithful. Is the promise word of God in your life seems to be taking too long for manifestation, in your life? Do not consider extended time as a reason to justify doubt manifestation of God’s promise. Today, learn from Sarah to judge God faithful, ignoring extended time of waiting for God’s manifestation.
After all night of fishing with no gain, professional fish men judge Jesus faithful to become gainful when they were able to launch deep in the place of lack according to the word of God. The ability to launch deep is demonstrating a violent faith. Launching deep is disregarding what is apparent in the physical by giving full regard to the word of God. Launching deep by the professional men demonstrated that they judged Jesus faithful. The bible recorded about professional fishermen who had gone fishing all night and had nothing to show at the morning hour. After having gone all night with no fish to show, they were set to call it a day by washing their nets. As they engaged washing their nets, Jesus showed up by the Lake of Gennesaret.  At that time, Jesus was a stranger to the professional fisher men. Jesus was never a fisherman, but He had the deep at hand. The bible makes us to 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.
When the word of God which is deep sounds in man’s direction, only the ones that can hear and obey without any doubt or reservation shall be rewarded. The deep word sounded in direction of the professional fishermen when Jesus gave word to Simon, “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 of Simon professionalism the word of His command is 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.

Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace obedience not taking a position of disobedient one.
