I want the Bling Life

I want the bling life

I want to live in the best house

I want to drive the latest car

I want to travel the world

The quest for a better life

Was what drove Peter out to fish

But all his labour proved abortive

Not even a single fish was caught

Dejected and depressed, he was getting ready to go home

Suddenly, Jesus choose his boat for a revival service

He listened to Jesus and his hope was restored

He had just encountered the Messiah

When Jesus asked him to try again

His natural reaction was to refuse

Master! We have toiled all night long

We have tried at the best time to catch fishes

However, he obeyed and tried again

He became prosperous in that instant

Catching boats sinking fishes is definitely prosperity

But he will not go home with fishes

He had caught something worth far more

Jesus’s presence in his life

Was the surest guarantee to a life of abundance

Peter’s actions speaks to us today

We seek for things, what to wear, eat, dwell etc

A truly prosperous man is one who has Jesus

Fishes or Jesus? Perishable or everlasting blessing

I want Jesus; I choose Jesus

Come unto me all you that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Mathew 11:28
