Topic: GIVE IT UP
Biblical Text: ‘Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, we also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing ‘ . [John 21:3]
In a town where their major occupation was fishing, some young men decided to go on a fishing expedition. They were fishing experts and they chose the best time of the day to catch fishes, which is at night. They were convinced that their fishing expedition would be highly successful. After spending hours in the sea, they discovered it was not as easy as envisaged, they had cut nothing. Where were the fishes? One of the young men exclaimed, we can still try more, we must not go home empty handed. Then they tried harder for a few more hours. Despite utilizing all their skills and experience, their quest to catch fishes was futile. With daybreak gradually lurking, the leader of the group suggested that they should go home and give it up! Give it up? They asked, Yes, give it up, we can try another time, he replied them. Slowly, they made their way back home. I have been in situations where I struggle to get things done; in most cases, I realize God is not there. The wise step to take is always to give it up. Sadly, we hear of individuals who died in the process of struggling to do what was not achievable. No matter how far you have gone, when you discover that Gods presence is not in the task you are trying to achieve, give it up fast! No delay, do not wait until it brings you pain.
KNOW IT ∞ When you sense God’s presence is not in what you are doing, give it up!
READ IT ∞ Genesis 19:26, Luke 5:1-5. Exodus 33:15
PRAY IT ∞ Father, give me the wisdom to give up on activities that you are not involved in.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR ∞ 2 Corinthians 4-6
