Luke 5: 4 - 9
Our text passage shows us the impact of God's word.
The word of God can surprise or astonish you with the results it produces.
It has been commonly said in Christian circles that "one word from God can change your life forever"
This is a very true saying.
A very acceptable saying.
The words of Jesus Christ are the words of God.
At the word of Jesus, the supernatural happens.
At the word of Jesus, mighty things happen.
At the word of Jesus, wonders happen.
At the word of Jesus, miracles occur.
Peter needed a harvest, he needed a breakthrough, he needed results.
He had worked for it, he had toiled, he had done what he knew to do, after all Peter was an experienced fisherman.
Despite Peter's experience and hard work, Peter didn't have the breakthrough he sought on the job.
Many people are like Peter in a sense.
They are good and experienced at what they do. They have put in the work, they have followed the rules, they got the education, the qualifications, the training, and they've followed the tricks of the trade but they are dissatisfied with the results they have.
Like Peter must have felt after toiling all night and catching nothing, they are not happy with where they are and it seems life has dealt them an unfair blow.
It's people like this that God came for.
Isaiah 61:1-3
Like Peter, people in this category can have a breakthrough, a harvest, a miracle.
They can have the miracle they seek by God's word.
At God's word, Peter ended up having more than enough.
At God's word, Peter ended up having a miracle catch.
At God's word, Peter's long awaited harvest arrived.
At God's word, Peter's frustration was wiped away.
At God's word, Peter's shame and embarrassment was terminated.
At God's word Peter's scattered blessing gathered together.
At God's word Peter received more than he could think of, ask for, or imagine!
At God's word, the unusual can happen instantly.
God is no respecter of person.
Acts 10:34
He can give you your own version of the miracle He gave Peter.
The key to our breakthrough is obeying God's specific instruction to each of us.
Deuteronomy 28:1,2
Peter's breakthrough came in obedience to the instruction God gave him.
Your breakthrough will come the same way.
You need to hear God.
You need God's instruction(s) for you.
Proverbs 16:20
At God's word (instruction) you will breakthrough!
