FAITH CAPSULE: What do you forsake to follow in serving God?

1Kings 19:11-21, Luke 5:1-11

At a point in time, four fishermen forsook all and followed Jesus. 
In life, to follow in serving God demands to forsake all. 
Elisha followed Elijah in his serving of God. 
The Bible records that Elisha answered calling to serve when he wholeheartedly followed Elijah. Elisha broke up with his old life by kissing father bye and by destroying the yoke of oxen that were his livelihood. (1Kings19:19-21) 
What do you forsake to follow in serving God?  
Four professional fishermen at the right time at the right place failed to catch fish. The four fishermen could not give up until daybreak, yet they caught nothing. As they were washing their nets and ready to pack for the day with nothing to show for as professional fishermen, Jesus showed up, “Then He got into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And He sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat.” (Luke 5:3) 
Despite a lack of success with catching fish through night hours, their kindness was intact as they allowed the stranger (Jesus) to use their vessel without any refusal.
After Jesus finished teaching the multitude, He turned to the fishermen and gave them a word, His word as stated in Luke 5:4, “…Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” Always take note that, in times of disappointment, the word of God will answer as terminating force to turn disappointment to an appointed time.
In response to the command to launch out, professional fishermen lamented about toiling all night with nothing to show forth. 
When there is a disappointment, do not be discouraged, but give self to the word of God that can reverse the irreversible. 
Have you found yourself on a ground where you have been grounded due to a lack of results? 
Begin to listen, hear, and see in the word of God to position you in the right route of transformation. 
The fishermen responded to the word of God for them to launch out into the deep and let down nets, and were able to catch 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. When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!” (Luke 5:6-8)
Is there any area of your life where you have been toiling with no result to show?
It does not matter how long you have been toiling with nothing to show but it is possible to encounter an unfailing God that does not fail for a breakthrough.
However, it is certain that when you listen to hear and see in the word of God it shall lead you to the route of transformation. The fishermen listened and heard the word that terminates. 
Give it all for Jesus and He shall settle you. 

Prayer for today: Ask for the word of God to sound in your direction for your breakthrough.
