Praise God! The Bible says: And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus(Matthew 14:28-9). We have here in this scripture two great lessons that we must learn. The first lesson is the importance of hearing Gods voice and the second one is the importance of acting on Gods word. When Peter knew that it was Jesus walking on the water, he asked Jesus to command him to go to him walking on the water also. Notice that Peter did not just jump out of the boat without Jesus command or voice. Many a time we launch out in things without hearing Gods voice first. Often time we launch out in business, in career, in ministry, or even in a relationship without hearing Gods voice. Unfortunately it is only when we get into trouble that we begin to seek to hear Gods voice. We must learn to hear Gods voice first before we launch out in new ventures. If God is the one who told you to launch out in that venture, He will also sustain you when you face setbacks. The Bible Shows that after Peter had walked on the water for sometime, he then began to sink and he cried out to Jesus for help and Jesus helped him out. If you involve God in your affairs, He will also help you out when you face challenges. Finally, we must also learn to act on Gods word once He has spoken. When Peter heard Jesus voice when He said to him Come, Peter acted immediately on Jesus word and he jumped out of the boat to walk on the water in the midst of storms. When you hear Gods word you must learn to act on it immediately without delay. Acting promptly on Gods word will cause you to walk in your miracle(Luke 5:4-7). Acting on Gods word will cause you to walk even on the most difficult situations of life. Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you to listen to God first before you launch out in new ventures. May He teach you to act promptly on Gods word once you hear it. Amen! Have a blessed weekend. Apostle Matala
