LAUNCH OUT
Hello,
Yesterday clocked a year since I started writing and I honestly did not know how I really felt about it. I imagined that I would feel really excited but I just felt calm and it was unexpected.
One thing I know is that I feel really proud of how far I’ve come and I’m glad that I obeyed my Lord. I can recall the very first time I had an impression in my heart that I needed to write, I doubted myself alot and I was full of fear and uncertainty like who would even care to read my thoughts and they’ll most probably laugh but I still did it....I did the thang🤭...and it wasn’t as bad as I expected. This is one of the things that the Lord would have me do and I won’t shy away from it but I’ll keep getting better.
It reminds me of Peter, when the master told him to cast his net into the deep, this was a man who has been toiling all night and caught nothing but at the word of the master, he cast his net again and there was an overflow. This scenario reveals to us how obedient the Master would have us be that despite all odds and toils,when the master says "go" ...you "go" ...It doesn’t matter how many times you’ve tried, it doesn’t matter if you’ve never done something like that before you just "cast your net" and trust Him.
Dear brother, you’ve wasted enough time and instead of wasted more time,why not cast your net according to the word of the Lord because faithful is He that has promised. One of my favourite name of God is a yoruba name "Oranmonisefayati" meaning "the one who sends and backs up"
You can never really fathom what the Lord is capable of doing through you until you launch out in faith and obedience.

Empowerment follows obedience
you will never know what you're capable of or what is possible until you say "yes Lord"
Luke 5:4-6
[4]When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon (Peter), Put out into the deep [water], and lower your nets for a haul.
[5]And Simon (Peter) answered, Master, we toiled all night [exhaustingly] and caught nothing [in our nets]. But on the ground of Your word, I will lower the nets [again].
[6]And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish; and as their nets were [at the point of] breaking.
You may not know but all that your life or that situation may need now is to take that bold step according to God’s word and soar on His wings.
