"Come," he said.
Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, "Lord, save me!" Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "You of little faith," he said, "why did you doubt?"
Matthew 14:29-31, NIV
Through this passage we know that when God asks us to come, first, we must have FAITH!
Do not be afraid of the 'wind' or you will be sinking. Fear = Faith in wrong places. Peter he was afraid and he began to sink because he did not have faith that the Lord could do miracles. Then, Jesus said, "You of little faith," Do not worry for even when you are sinking, God is there to catch you when you cry out to him.
Last Sunday, God gave me a prompt in my heart as the pastor talks about reaping what we sow. God told me that we have to sow seeds of FAITH! He gave me a vision, to see the whole school become saved, to break salvation and revival into the school. But that is reaping, what we have to sow are seeds of faith. Like last week, I shared that the seeds have to grow in good conditions, having good soil and not on a rock or surrounded by thorns. But there's another important aspect of growing well, that is the kind of seeds we sow.
Let us have faith that the Lord is here to help us and to guide us, let us rest in the Lord's faithfulness, for he keeps his promises. Now, let us claim this promise:
But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him.
-2 Corinthians 2:14, NIV
Let us this week then pray for:
- God leading us in triumphal procession as we spread the gospel and be a testimony for the Lord.
- Sowing seeds of faith in good conditions, and that the Lord will let it grow well.
- Reaping a good harvest for the Lord in RI.
- Never letting our love and compassion for the lost grow cold or the vision to break revival and salvation die.
- Salvation in 1P AND 1Q.
- Our fellow classmates will open their hearts to recieve the Lord this Easter
- Open hearts as we evangelise(now[on de forum] and next time)
