Read: Luke 5:1-11 "....He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little way from the shore......"
This text describes the theme 'Jesus Calls the First Disciples'.
How he called disciples?......he found out his first disciples from their work places.
Here Jesus asks to Simon to spare his boat for a while....Simon obeyed....see the change.....his boat became a PULPIT....a place where God's words were shared....
Amazing transition...A FISHING BOAT changes into A PULPIT...!
What next...? Jesus interfere into Simon's vocation...fishing.....
Unbelievable....abundant catch of fish..."..their nets were beginning to break..."
What next....? it led towards his self-realisation...."Lord....I am sinful..."
Ultimately they followed Jesus....entered in to the discipleship of Christ...
There is no PRIVATE, OFFICIAL, PUBLIC spaces in front of our God.......
Be transparent in front of God.....Don't hide anything from God...our vocation, 'private' and 'confidential' matters....when God asks.....don't hide our wealth..purse.....
Give to God whatever God asks...even though it may be valuable to you....then...
God will make use of you in abundant catch of fish....
It will lead us towards self-realisation....
Ultimately God will call towards God's discipleship....the real inheritors of Kingdom of God......
