AND LET DOWN YOUR NETS FOR A CATCH - Gone To Prepare A Place Series 007
Luke 5:4, KJV
"Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught".
If there's any advice God is giving people at this time, it's to desist from "assaying to do like someone" when they don't have his instruction. The Bible writes this truth plainly this way.
Hebrews 11:29, KJV
"By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned."
Mark, "which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned". There are those who are letting down their nets for a catch yet didn't hear a voice commanding them to launch into the deep initially. God is saying, "this is express danger and mere comparing of oneself with another. It is mere envying of someone's result without being the one the instruction that would produce it was given to".
Jesus told Peter, "launch out into the deep..." and then "let down your nets for a catch". One instruction precedes the other. To launch out can't be divorced from letting down the nets for a catch. Meanwhile, those who have not heard, "launch out" are coveting having the harvest of Peter. They've not been obedient and willing yet they want to eat the good of the land. What does this make you if not a mocker of yourself?
The Egyptians trying to walk the dry ground like the Israelites all perished. Why? Did God speak to Pharaoh to pass the sea as dry ground? No! He only did, "follow, follow". He only attempted to have the result of the Israelites he sees ahead making headway in the sea. Assaying to do so and be like them, he perished and all his army.
Being presumptuous is a deadly hook and mistake. You can't be presumptuous and build your life on, "assaying to do so" in 2024. You'll capsize and collapse. Don't assay to do so when you have not been commanded. It's possible to observe the body of someone carrying out an instruction without knowing who originates it or instructed it to him. You may follow him but you may not have his result. That'll be because you're not the man specifically given that instruction to take. Don't copy people erratically. Don't step out if you're not called. Don't check out if it does not become your revelation. Those who do contrary shouldn't put their minds to any reward.
When the Bible says, "and let down your nets for a catch", it means, "and get ready for a harvest". The only testimony people covet is having the harvest. They don't want to walk the road of Peter. They don't want to be called (chosen) and if called, they don't want to thrust a little from the land. They want to stay at the shore yet expecting that they'll have the end of Peter. This is a lie. He who doesn't observe the first law shouldn't shovel to observe the second. Those who in all conscience can let down their nets for a catch are those who have heard a voice telling them initially to launch out. Therefore, I say unto you not to mimick anyone blindly whose instruction you do not have. 2024 will weed the chaff from the wheat and it's no time to "assaying" when you're not sure. You have to be sure. You must be the spoken to before you cross. Never do anything that doesn't come from a leading or guidance from God. That's because the many shaking and sorrow of hearts that could follow your "assaying to do so" would have been sieved by God for you by hinting you what and what not to attempt.
If you've obeyed till now, if you've followed God till now, if you've lent yourself to a particular cause till now, then you're the one who owns the instruction, "...and let down your nets for a catch". December is harvest time and season for those who have walked the way or process faithfully. Now, you can hope to let down your nets for a catch! You won't be like a man awaiting to reap where he has not sown. For you, a return of your obedience, faithfulness and promptness is what you'll be reaping.
PRAYER: Father, let my harvest come. Reward my obedience, faithfulness and promptness. I've let down my nets for a catch, may I not be disappointed.
