Jonah's fish in Peter's thought

 


An Emoji Devotional for Mon, June 2023


Today: Jonah's fish in Peter's thought 


Highlights: 

When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.

Luke 5:8 KJV

https://bible.com/bible/1/luk.5.8.KJV



Peter was a considerate and generous man, He had never thought it would be unfair to be angry when Jesus asked for his boat after his fruitless effort fishing all day without a catch. He gave his boat and listened to Jesus speak. The word Jesus teached had an impact on Peter, however, Jesus had to show appreciation by giving Peter all He had been labouring for all day within a minute. This broke Peter down on His Knees both in physical and emotional form to convict himself as a sinner before the Good judge of the Universe. Depart from me, I am a sinner, meaning, your reciprocal generosity was a mystery that gave me an unimaginable and generational achievement. Peter has never seen any caught so much fish that could make the boat sink. Peter must have received a gift that he deemed Holy. Perhaps he have been thinking of Jonah while he was trying to catch a single fish. 'Where is the fish that swallowed Jonah?'. Then suddenly someone came to use a useless boat. Who need a boat that could not be used to catch a single fish a whole day. Peter gave the boat out of relief that someone is using the boat for something worthwhile. In life, our efforts will not go to waste no matter what fruitless efforts we encoutered while trying but once we give Christ chance to have His way around our struggles to achieve His will, we will see all the blessings coming to us seamlessly. Jesus Is truly good.

Scripture is supernaturally pre-planned to educate our Spirit


 An Emoji Devotional for Sun, 18 June 2023


Topic: Scripture is supernaturally pre-planned to educate our Spirit

Highlight:

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
2 Timothy 3:16‭-‬17 KJV

The Bible is sacred and connected with God. The writings contained in the Bible is what we call the scripture. They are real life events that shows the greatness and omnipotent power of God. You must be inspired by God before you can publicly quote the scripture.  Because it contains sacred writings that carries life. God so cherished the scripture because it unravel some mysteries of how God supernaturally designed His plans and orders from heaven above to have His ways through those who devoted themselves to His worship. A first premium example is how God operated the creation of time to this present age, eg, commanding light by HIS WORD in Genesis 1:3 "And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.". The above shows that God made light by declaration and "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." Genesis 2:7 KJV
The above explained that our intelligence came from God because we have His own type of Breath in us called tye "breath of life".

So if you want to really learn about your source, it's not by tracing any ancestry, it's by opening the Bible to understand How God manifest His laws and interventions, what pleases and displeases Him, what He approves and disapproves.

By the scriptural understanding, God restored the power that was stolen from our ancestor, Adam back to us through Jesus Christ. We dare not question the authority of God as Nebuchadnezzar the great king of Babylon was able to testify in Daniel 3:28‭-‬29 KJV:
"Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God. Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort.
The power of Jesus Christ carries the original breath of life of the beginning.  We need to study about Christ to nitty-gritty in order to understand the power that was restored to us.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
Romans 8:14 KJV

Let Christ lead you brother and sister. Do you have you Bible? Get your Bible and read to know more about your source today.
2 Timothy 2:15

Prayer: Dear God Omnipotent, creator of the Universe: Sanctify me through thy truth, for thy word is truth in Jesus name.
