The Net On The Right Side

Apostle Grace Lubega

John 21:5-6(KJV); Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No. And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.

The first question Jesus asked the disciples the morning He met them was, “Children, have you any meat?”

The disciples had been at sea toiling the whole night with no single catch of fish and the reason was because they had no MEAT.

“MEAT” is an allegory of “doing the will of God.”

Our Lord once told them, “My meat is to do the will of my Father.”(John 4:34).

The Christ had told these men that He would make them fishers of men. This was the will of the father for their lives.

Child of God, it does not matter how hard you toil, if you are labouring outside God’s divine assignment for your life, you will never catch “fish”.

When you labour outside the will of God, you can never produce the fruit God desires from you.

The blessed news is that He has made known unto us the mystery of His will (Ephesians 1:9).

We are not like them that labour without fruit. Hallelujah!

GOLDEN NUGGET:

When you labour outside the will of God, you can never produce the fruit God desires from you.

PRAYER: My God, I thank You for this truth. I have a great understanding of Your will and it is the starting place of all my labours in the gospel. I am not merely in the permissible will but the perfect will You have for my life. That is why whatsoever I touch prospers; that is why I am increasing on every side; that is why I abound in blessings. To the glory of Your name. Amen
