January 5

I was most likely the biggest catch of Peter’s life. Imagine having the best day in your business. If you are a stock trader it would be like taking in twice your monthly salary or more in one trade that took you 30 minutes! So right after you are living in the prosperity blessing and your business has the best day ever, Jesus says, leave it all behind and come with me. It doesn’t say whether they thought that they were coming back or not, but to them, it didn’t matter. The man they had met previously, who they had seen do miracles and who they thought may in fact be the Messiah was calling them to come along with him. I am sure they probably thought that they were going to be His luggage handlers or crowd control, but Jesus had called them to be His disciples who would change the world! Whether they hoped for that or not I don’t know, what I do know is that they were convinced that leaving EVERYTHING after the biggest fishing day of their life, was a done deal! It was worth it all and they did it – left there net where they lay and went with Jesus. Could we do the same?
