Words Of Life

JESUS IS STRANDED WITHOUT A BOAT...He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from shore. Then he sat down and taught the people from the boat. (Luke 5:3 NIV).

If you read verse 1 of the scripture above, you'll see that the people pressed upon Jesus to hear the word of God for their lives, they pressed Him to get solutions to their problems, but it was difficult for Jesus to speak to them or help them at that time without a Boat. Jesus then needed to begin a serious search; He must have thought, "who will lend me a boat through which I can bless these lives and save more souls?" Luckily for Him, He found Peter's boat ready for use, so He needed to plead with Peter to move out a little from shore so He could use His Boat to reach men. Today, the search for a Boat continues...

Jesus is Stranded without a Boat, life, and heart that He can climb, enter, or hang on to reach this dying world... No matter how heaven is desirous to help any life, they can't do it without a man who can lend them his boat... Men are really putting pressure on Jesus now; many are in need, and many are on mountains praying for provision, marriage, jobs, healing, and deliverance from all kinds of problems and sin. You are the answer to the pressure, men. You are putting on God right now!

God can, through your boat, answer someone's prayer, either through your giving to the needy, preaching to the lost, praying for the sick, delivering the oppressed, etc... Friend, you can't afford to hold back your boat at this time, Jesus needs it now more than ever. Heaven is handicapped without your boat! People might wear a good look and dress well, or look rich but all these are cover-ups, I tell you, men are really in big needs. If you stay around wealthy people, you might think they don't have problems, but if you go closer, you'll know they are dying inside and really need help someway somehow. Please, lend God your Boat by talking to that colleague of yours about Jesus, lend Him your Boat by reaching out to those needy persons around you, and lend Him your Boat by exercising your God-given gifts to bless the lives around you.

That boat, that job, that business, that Grace, etc., you have was not given to you for yourself and your own ambitions, but you were given Grace more than others, so you can be a blessing to this Generation. Let's not be Selfish! After Christ finished using Peter's Boat, He told Peter to Launch into the Deep for a greater catch... You can't imagine what deeper and stronger experiences you'll have with God when you lend Him your Boat. God cannot use you and dump you; He'll always make your life better than it ever was. Peter caught so much fish that his boat alone could not contain it; what he caught was able to fill the other boats around him. You'll experience more open doors and blessings when you lend God this your boat.

You don't have to be a Pastor; everyone has a Boat; wherever you are, whatever business you're doing, that place is a Boat, a platform Jesus can use to bless many lives... Note that you're not the one to do the work, so you don't have to be afraid or shy; he is the one to hang on your vessel and do the talking, healing, and blessing, He only needs your permission, Don't deny Him that opportunity. May I ask you?, who are you lending your boat (life, Graces, and opportunities)? Is it to Self, Sin, the Devil, or to Jesus?... Men are Pressing on Jesus now; He needs your boat urgently, more than ever. Is it available? Can you lend Him? Take action Now!, He's waiting.
