To let out your nets for a catch implies action, that is to move;
to do something, to ACT. Beloved, now is the time to do the right thing; the
right thing at the right time because NOW, right now is the right time to catch
the fish you desire for which you toiled all night without success. What makes
right now the right time? Jesus is in your boat and He is the One Who released
the prophetic word for you to go fishing now. Any other task and activity you
are engaged in now outside of letting out your nets for a catch is a wrong
activity at the wrong time. The only right and worthwhile activity to engage in
now is to let out your nets for a catch. Significantly, the task of letting the
nets out is an action activity which requires you to ACT, ACT immediately as in
the case of the bedridden man at the pool of Bethsaida. Additionally, the nets
Jesus asked them to let out had been washed and were drying in the sun. So
Peter and his colleagues had to go get the nets from the shore back into the
boat before pushing the boat out into deep waters and then letting out the nets
for a catch.
How great and mighty is God, our God Who never fails. He
made Peter and his professional colleagues bring back to life, to action what
they had retired for the day; hoping to return to toiling again at night. But unknown
to them, God had different plans for them – they would no longer toil all night
with no results to show for their toil. Rather, they would engage in fruitful
profitable labor while it was yet day and then transact business and then
return home to rest at night with members of their families. It was no longer
toiling fruitlessly at night, away from the love and company of their family
members. It was now harvest time in the day and guaranteed rest at night.
However, you must push out into deep water; and let out your
nets for a catch. It is no longer business as usual; the daily grind of just
going fishing hoping that there should be some. It was now guaranteed catch,
fruitful, profitable labor designed for multiplication, increase and abundance.
No more frustration and probably anger and resentment at fruitless toils. It was
now happiness, thanksgiving, joy because labor will always be fruitful,
profitable and would always bring about multiplication, increase and abundance.
Beloved, ACT and get great results and be happy in the mighty
name of Jesus Christ.
You should not only push out into deep water but once you
are inside the deep water, let your nets out for a catch because if you do not
let your nets out for a catch, you may not catch anything even if you are in
deep water. Therefore, make conscious deliberate efforts to let your nets out
for a catch. Vice versa, letting your nets out for a catch in shallow waters
will not bring in the desired catch and harvest. Therefore, obey divine instruction
to the latter by doing everything you are instructed to do.
Push out into deep
water simply implies that you deepen whatever has to be deepened –
knowledge base, wisdom, understanding, contact base and whatever else has to be
deepened.
Let your nets out for a catch means that you have to get the
nets from wherever they are and cast them into deep water so that the great
harvest can come in. May the Lord crown your exploits with great favor and
abundant harvest in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Shalom.
