And said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus (Mathew 14:29).
In Mathew 14, Jesus walked on water and showed us something remarkable about the life of faith; the life of the Spirit we've been called to live. When His disciples saw Him walking on the water, they were scared, thinking He was a ghost. However, Jesus allayed their fears and said, "...it is I; be not afraid"(Mathew 14:27).
When Peter heard the Master's voice, he spoke up, "...Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water" (Mathew14:28). Jesus obliged and said, "Come." Peter stepped out of the boat and walked on the water to meet Jesus. Shortly afterwards, Peter began to drown in the water when he saw the raging tempest; fear gripped his heart and that dissipated his faith.
Walkng on the water is a life of the Spirit where you don't consider anything else but God's word. It's when you come out of that comfort zone and security of the boat , and take your steps on the basis of God Word. Many, instead of launching out in faith, have chosen to remain in the boat like the other disciples. Imagine how glorious it would have been if all the disciples stepped out in faith and got on the water, when the Master said, "Come!"
Be quick and bold to act your faith. There's so much more for you to enjoy in God. Don't stay at the same level; grow your faith. Use and exercise your faith. The moment you take your step of faith in whatever God you to do, refuse to be distracted; set your gaze on Jesus. Peter stepped out of the boat in faith, and walked on water. However, immediately he took his gaze off the Master, he began to sink.
Hebrews 12:2 says, "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith...." This means to turn away from everythng else, and fix your gaze on Jesus. Consciously look away from all the troubles and limitations, and fix your gaze on the realities in His Word. Refuse to consider or be influenced by adverse circumstances; stay focused on the Word. Shut the world out, and see nothong but God.
Prayer:
Dear Father, I thank you for the blessing of acting on your Word. I make progress by the Word today, confident in its ability to put me ver and cause me to excel in all I do. I'm on an upward and forward journey of success and victory, positioned for glory and excellence, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
