TOPIC: Telling Jesus (III) (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 16 March 2021)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Deuteronomy 14-16
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Luke 5:1-9 (KJV)
1 And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,
2 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.
4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.
6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.
7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.
8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
9 For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:
MEMORY VERSE: “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.” – Matthew 28:18
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
Every difficulty you face, in every waiting place, you are being given the chance to trust the unseen and to be blessed abundantly.
PRAISE WORSHIP: Take a worship song as led by the Holy Spirit
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
I DECREE THAT BECAUSE YOU HAVE MADE JESUS YOUR ALL IN ALL, YOU WILL NEVER FAIL AND NEVER FALTER, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
The MESSAGE:
Jesus truly cares for you. His compassion for you is matchless. That is why He is called our Good Shepherd. He is the dependable Friend, who is ever willing to bear your sins or pains and help you. A closed mouth is a closed destiny. Do not keep your problem to yourself or suffer needless pain in silence. Tell Jesus about it!

Are you encountering failure in an area of your life, even after several genuine and spirited efforts? I encourage you to tell Jesus about it. I advise you to imitate Peter. In Luke 5:5, Peter revealed his failure and suffering in the hands of the spirit of profitless hard work to Jesus, “Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing…” He then obeyed the instruction of the Royal Master and experienced a life-changing miracle.
What else should you tell Jesus? Tell Him your family troubles. There is no area of our lives that God’s sovereignty does not cover. He is the Lord of all. God instituted marriage and family. He is in the best position to repair any damage in it. In Luke 9:38, a man took his son and only child, who was being tormented by demons, to Jesus. The man’s son received complete deliverance and the man’s family trouble ended. Is the enemy harassing your family in any way? Tell the One who is mighty to save, Jesus Christ, about it.
Many people quickly forget about their victories and don’t even tell the Lord about it. That is ingratitude. Remember that God gave you the victory. Therefore, you should always tell Jesus about your victories and thank Him for them. Luke 10:17 affirms this right attitude, “And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject to us through thy name.”
It is a known fact that life is not always a bed of roses; therefore, I encourage you to also share your disappointments with Jesus (Luke 24:18) as well as your bereavement (John 11:21). Jesus is an all-weather Friend!
