I am going Fishing

-

 Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We will go with you.” They went out and got into the boat; but that night they caught nothing. Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to them, “Children, have you any fish?” They answered him, “No.” He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, for the quantity of fish. That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!”


This Passage come John 21 offers great lessons:


A Leader's decisions and mistakes has a profound influence on others, Peter returned back to hunting fish instead of men and others decided to Join him too.


Peter denied Jesus three times, possibly to heal from his actions he wanted to return to his previous occupation of fishing, after toiling he caught nothing and Jesus intervened , this same incident repeated after the Resurrection,they caught nothing and Jesus in His love directed them and they made a good catch.


Jesus overlook the weaknesses of the Apostles, he didn't querry or criticize their actions, he told them: "Come and dine" , he allowed Peter to affirm his love thrice.



It takes a man who Loves to recognize. John the beloved was so close to Jesus, he was the only one who remained at the foot of the Cross, this affection made him easily know it was the Lord.



As we journey in Life, let our affection and attraction be on the Lord so we can always recognize and know Him always.

HUMANITY

The various woes we experience in our society today is based on leaders who lead with no conscience or better put the heart for humanity. Changing the narrative of a failing country is not rocket science as many have painted it to be. Most good intentions can be forestalled by the so called "way of doing things". The culture of our way of doing things has created an atmosphere for abnormalities hence making the normal abnormal. Sorry if I am confusing you. I believe you will understand what I mean. The fatalistic thinking of people which have been strengthened by culture and false religion has led to lot of aberrations in our society. We tend to seek God in the high heavens while we trample on our fellow Humans who are seemingly blocking us from finding God. We see work as a distraction from finding this God. It is time to know that the God we seek is that man or woman you refused to greet on your way to Church. That work you do all sorts of wrong things to make money to pay ...

GOOD FRIENDS- capsules for growth.

They are associated with us and we share our ideas and opinions with them. The kinds of friends we keep influence our act ions and way of life, it is very important that we are selective. However, we should not get confused or get things mixed up, we are to be friendly with everyone we meet, we are to show love, care and concern and make sure people leave us better than they met us.   We should be careful and restrict those whom we will form strong relationships with, for the scriptures says, “evil communications corrupt good manners- cf. 1 Cor. 15:33.”   People who do not have great dreams may belittle yours when you attempt to share yours with them, they may not like you when you try to be different from them, that is why we should associate with men of good repute and integrity, people that are wise and have plans for a great future ahead of them.
