The Great Catch Essay

Improved Essays
The provision of the great catch is one that will be embedded within my memory for as long as I live. It is a lesson that reminds me of what God was doing in my life early in my walk with him. In this lesson, the disciples had been fishing all day and night and it was now morning. Exhaustion frustration, and hunger had set in. The lack of a catch equaled the lack of harvest and the lack of selling in the market place. Which in-turn would cause insufficient funds! Does this sound like any of the situations that come against you sometimes? If so guess what, THERE IS A REMEDY! When man’s education, gifts, skills, and talents fail, there is a solution. THE REMEDY IS THE WORD OF GOD and a Word from God. One word from God can instantaneously change …show more content…
Jesus first reason was for self-evaluation. He wanted them to see if their natural abilities worked for them. He also wanted to see if they would recall and implement what he had been trying to teach them all along. To change an environment through a word of faith and make it suitable where as it may not have been. Jesus was always teaching the word and often demonstrated lessons. Jesus’ proclamation always was; I did not come to institute a religion but establish a Kingdom. He wanted to introduce them to the Kingdom and help them understand the principles of the Kingdom and how it operates. Jesus taught accessing the Kingdom through discipline of the word and demonstration which could only be obtained by working in unity with the Father, Holy Spirit, and each other. He wanted them to work from the realm of the Supernatural instead of the Natural. It is the Supernatural realm that created and rules the natural realm. He never wanted them to spend that much time toiling in the flesh ever again. Why when they can connect into the Spirit to allow the word to bring forth and produce what they needed with less energy and toil. Fruitless toiling is of not of God. Jesus also wanted them to learn the lesson of ruling over nature. He taught and demonstrated this several times in the bible. Remember when Jesus spoke to the word COME to Peter biding him to walk out on the water in Acts.... or when he …show more content…
What a catch! What provision and overflow! Look closely because he didn’t stop there! As soon as they had come to land they saw a fire of coals there and fish laid on it and bread. Jesus said to them bring some of the fish which you have just caught. Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast.” Jesus then came and took the bread and gave it to them and likewise the fish. If you remember when Jesus asked the question do you children have any food? He knew they wouldn’t need it anyway because he had already prepared some for them before he even asked them. Isn’t that just like God? He provided before, after, and then to the degree of overflow. The bible declares that he knows what we have need of before we ask and that he will supply all of our needs according to his riches in Glory. Jesus did not stop at provision here, he went further and continued in serving them with love. When they got back to shore Jesus invited them to come eat the breakfast he had already prepared there. They didn’t have to do anything but just fellowship, rest, receive, and eat what Jesus had already prepared. I hope you didn’t miss that, it was indeed symbolic. Therefore, I will repeat it. They didn’t have to do anything but just fellowship, rest, receive, and eat what Jesus had already prepared. All we need and will

    The great gatsby Unanswered questions come up in much of literature and is seen here in The Great Gatsby. Fitzgerald uses the word "great" to describe Gatsby, which can bring up much conversation as to why the title of the book deems Gatsby to be great. In the dictionary great has numerous definitions such as "important; highly significant or consequential or wonderful; first-rate; very good" (Dictionary.com 1). If everyone in the world was asked to define what great meant, it would probably be found that no two people would say the exact same thing. Maybe the word "great" means to have lots of money, so in that sense Gatsby can be considered to be great.…

    When you first take a look at The Rape of the Lock, and A Modest Proposal, they seem like wildly different pieces of writing. In one, a person presents a proposal to fix the poverty issue in Ireland by eating children. The other tells a story of a superficial woman who makes a big fit about getting her hair stolen. But while Rape of the Lock and A Modest Proposal are two very different pieces of writing thematically, they share a lot of the same propaganda and humor techniques that were a hallmark of satirical writing during the Enlightenment. These techniques occur everywhere in both pieces of writing, and there are several that they share in common.…
