“Whatever you feel God is saying, wherever it could be that you believe he is calling you, understand this, he will replace your catch of fish with a catch far greater than you could ever imagine.”

Matthew 4:20
They immediately left their nets and followed Him.

Peter and his brother Andrew were at the edge of Lake Tiberius pulling in their nets after a morning of  fishing. They had inherited their business from their father, a fishing business that had, no doubt, been in their family for many years. They had made a good catch that day and were looking forward to setting up their stall on the banks of the lake to sell their product. It was then that Jesus of Nazareth passed by. They had heard that this man was a great teacher and miracle worker but had no ambition of getting involved in his ministry. Jesus, pausing on the bank and squinting in the sunlight at these two burly fishermen as they wound in their nets, called out, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.

Indeed, Jesus was gaining a reputation as a great rabbi. These men gave up much to follow him. They progressed to become great men of influence as they took the message of Christ far and wide after Jesus’ death, resurrection and ascension. However, at the point of their calling, they had no idea what the future held. They simply believed in Jesus and his call on their lives to go and make disciples. God had a plan for these guys, a plan for them to become fishers of men with the promise that he would be with them always, even to the end of the age.

Perhaps you’ve heard the call of Jesus, “Follow me, and I will make you a fisher of men.” But perhaps you’re unsure of where he will lead you. It could be that he is calling you to give up much to follow his lead. As Peter and Andrew gave up their business to follow Jesus, it may be that the Lord is calling you to do the same. Whatever you feel God is saying, wherever it could be that you believe he is calling you, understand this, he will replace your catch of fish with a catch far greater than you could ever imagine. God has a plan for you to become a fisher of men with the promise that he will be with you always, even to the end of the age.

God-tracking is giving it up to follow Jesus.

Don’t Give Up, Look Up & Pray

“Help me to follow your call. Help me to leave my nets to become a fisher of men.”

“Dear Lord, I hear your call on my life. I’ll admit, O Lord, I’m afraid of where it will lead me. Forgive me for any doubt. I now place my confidence in your call, your purpose and your provision. Help me to follow your call. Help me to leave my nets to become a fisher of men. Amen. “
