In this portion of Luke 5:5, we see the power behind the word of God being manifested.
Peter and Co laboured all night, night time being the ideal time (according to man) to catch fish, but caught nothing.
It is not like they were not hardworking, nothing to do with experienced, these were expert fishers, not like they had no faith. All these put in place they caught nothing. Then in the morning, as they prepared to leave, they met Jesus, who after using their net to preach (God first), told them to cast their net! And when they did; wow! what a catch.

Simon Peter said something very important ''at your word''. Have you been labouring, are you an expert in your field, have you fasted and prayed, did you have faith, have confessed known & unknown sins, yet nothing seems to happen? Did you seek God's face, did you hear Him say''cast your net''? What is His Will concerning what you are toiling and labouring for day and night with little or no results? Seek God's face. He says my sheep heareth my voice (John 10:27), this means God speaks beloved.
David, the man after Gods heart will always say ''Lord should I go''? If I go will I overtake? (1sam 30:8)
Jesus prayed concerning His life ''Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done'' (Luke 22:42). He didn't end there, when God answered Him, He accepted to die according to the will of the Father for Him. We do not only accept Gods will for us when they are favourable, we do whatever His will may be
Praise God!
Slam Dunk! AMEN! Let it be so! We need to fall in love genuinely with His will and not just His blessings. To do that will take a routine of intentionality that procures a life-style in Christ. His Word, and prayer, and fellowship, and witnessing. But the Amen comes when we do this He first loves us in transforming and empowering our lives to a point we are indeed not the same person as before .. we become in love with His will and Him, and we therefore become sanctified and Holy. The more time we spend with God the more we get to know Him, and the more we get to know Him the more we will love Him dearly. Amen again, you have encouraged me - Thx.

I haven't had that happen-except maybe when my big finger can't hit that little like. Sometimes. Have a to try a number of times. I have got a message saying I got kicked off before-I think something to do with site maintenance.

I am sorry about that dear one, I had surgery when I was in my 20s. I know it could be stressful, especially if it is a complicated surgery. I was more concerned in having the surgery so as to get rid of the sickness than being stressful. I wanted it done because I had faith that I would have my problem fixed with it. People around me were stressed up in my stead. It was during such moments that I read the whole of new testament twice. Everything eventually went on well
Go closer to God beloved, cast all your care upon Him as He cares for you. (1 Peter5:7)
Praying for you dear one
Yeah it's high risk heart surgery. I had it twice before. After the second time of having it the risk sky rockets. But I still have a 96% Of survival from surgery. It's a high stakes gamble however
