Today's miracle is about Peter who experienced the most successful catch of fish in his lifetime after he has toiled the whole night without getting anything.
Why did Peter fail? What did he do to turn his failure into success?
Peter failed because
🔑1 : Jesus was out of his boat. He succeeded when Jesus entered the boat. (v 2/3)
🔑2 : He relied on his own skill and experience. He succeeded when he relied on Jesus' word and wisdom
🔑3 : He was using the boat only for his own interest. He succeeded when the boat shifted to serve Christ's interest. (v 5)
🔑4 : He lacked divine direction and divine instruction. He succeeded when he obeyed and followed divine instruction. (v 6)
How did Peter manage his failure ?
🔑1 : He admitted he failed and never dwelt in it. (v 5)
🔑2 : He never allowed his failure make him doubt Jesus. Rather, he took him at his word and everything turned (v 5)
I PRAY THAT AT THE VERY PLACE WHERE YOU FAILED, GOD WILL WIPE YOUR TEARS, RESTORE YOU AND GRANT YOU A MIRACLE.

PERSONAL SUPPLICATION
1/ Peter spent a fruitless night
- Pray with Isaiah 65:23 and refuse a life of fruitlessness in efforts, business, relationship, ..
2/ Fruitlessness leads to frustration. Fruitlfulness leads to celebration
- Cry to God to free you from a life of frustration. Refuse failure in your life. (Proverbs 23:18).
- Decree by faith your life to be a life of celebration. Confess a life of all round undeniable success (Joshua 1:8)
3/ Peter relied on his skills and experiences not on God. He failed
- Relying on yourself is a sin and a curse. Pray God to forgive you that sin Cry to God to break that curse. (Jeremiah 17:5-6/ Isaiah 30:1-5)
4/ Peter had a boat. He had skills. He had experiences. But he failed for 3 things were missing : - Jesus' presence / Jesus' wisdom / Jesus' voice / Jesus' interests
- Call upon Jesus and pray for those 4 things to rule in all area of your life (Psalm 124)
PRAY, BELIEVE, EXPECT AND RECEIVE YOUR MIRACLE FROM JESUS LIKE PETER IJN
