Matt. 4:19 "Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men."
This is when Jesus was calling the first disciples and you can already see what type of mind Christ had. He used what was natural to expose them to what they could be in the super natural.
FISHERS OF MEN
We cast out the net of the gospel into the treacherous waters of this world and see what generation of people we entangle when we pull in the load. These waters are full of people swimming in their sin not knowing the fate that awaits. As those who were rescued from the depths we now stand on the boat of salvation and get a chance to go fishing. But will you continue to do things your way and strain yourself casting your net where you THINK you'll catch some fish or will you allow Jesus to tell you were to cast it in order to catch so many sousl you can't even contain it all? Remember we're now in the position to bring in those who are lost, but we must do it in God's way not our own. Be passionate in prayer, powerful in praise, and wait on the word of God. Don't lose sight of God's vision for your life and replace it with your own vision.

Thanks for the reminder to stop trying to do things on my own strength, even when those things are getting people into the Kingdom. While its true that I can do all things, it is only through Christ... who gives me strength.
