ARE YOU SHARING IN GOD’S DESIRE?
“Jesus called out to them and said, “Come and follow me, and I will transform you into men who catch people for God.”
Matthew 4:19 (TPT)
When our Lord Jesus called His disciples, He was specific, direct, clear and blunt on what He was going to turn them into.
He was not going to produce “marketplace apostles”. He would not make them lawyers, accountants, successful medical doctors, politicians, Phd holders, international economists, CEOs of multinational empires, engineers, programmers, etc.
Jesus was going to make them new kinds of fishermen. He was going to turn them into men who catch people for God.
Jesus did not call His disciples to improve their fishing business, essentially. He called them with the primary intention of transforming them into men who catch people for God.
This doesn’t mean our Lord devalues our individual careers or professions. Neither does it mean that He doesn’t bless our work. The Lord is interested in our career success because He loves us. He instructs us to work and not be lazy through His word.
However, some believers have redefined the primary assignment of the believer. These people become disciples of Jesus, often with the perception that the Lord will help them succeed in their careers or professional ambitions.
Did Jesus not help Peter catch more fish?
The Lord did help Peter and his friends (Luke 5:4-11), and He continues to help those who believe in Him and respond to the instructions of the Spirit to succeed at what they do.
Irrespective of your career or occupation, your primary assignment as a disciple of Jesus is to make more disciples.
Jesus said, “…I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit…” John 15:16 (NLT)
This is the primary purpose of being a disciple of Jesus; to be like Christ and to become a fisher of men.
As a disciple of Jesus, you are brought into His fellowship and followership, so that through you God will bring many more men into His fellowship and followership.
“Then Jesus came close to them and said, “All the authority of the universe has been given to me. Now go in my authority and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. And teach them to faithfully follow all that I have commanded you. And never forget that I am with you every day, even to the completion of this age.” Matthew 28:19-20 (TPT)
No matter what you do, you must find yourself catching men for God. That is God’s desire.
He desires that all men shall be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth.
Be the medium by which the Lord’s desire will be fulfilled.
Selah.

DECLARE THESE WORDS:
– I daily avail myself as the medium by which the Lord’s desire will be fulfilled.

God’s plan for man after He is born again and so that He will be cultivated with His word through the leaders He has set.
This is why Jesus was very Blunt to John and James on why they should follow Him. Their followership is so that they can become fishers of men and true disciple. The primary responsibility of a disciple is to be a discipler of others.
God’s primary role for the born again is not so that He will.become a real estate consultant.
It was not so that He could become a president…no!
Its so that He can become a fisher of men!

God desires that all men will be saved and come to the truth so until you form a disciple people who disciple others the intent of God has not reached and until the knowledge of Gods flooods the earth as the waters covers the sea the work is not yet complete.
