Peter and Andrew toiled all night in the sea but caught no single fish. Luke 5:5

And when Jesus showed up , there were about at their work place and HE blessed their efforts, they caught more than they hoped for, they were not idling away in a betting shop

Lol. How many ships did Jesus sit in to make them catch plenty fishes? I guess all the big fishing boats that have been catching millions of fishes even at that time had the presence of Jesus in their boats?

Well all those are by the way. Don't miss the message. It Is very simple. Do the work to expect the result. Don't just pray.
He is not saying don't pray.

Grace is the answer bro...
U can work all day with even fasting and prayers and nothing is working out.

There are several factors that could be responsible rather than ur hard work

But grace is the answer to break through

Biblical scam called grace.
Whatever a man sow, he must reap. Success comes with commitment, patient and sacrifice in one's endeavor not grace.

Peter and Andrew toiled all night in the sea but caught no single fish. Luke 5:5

True talk sir. It is Grace. We have seen many hardworking people die of hunger while lazy ones enjoy. Though I'm not saying been lazy is good. I'm hardworking but nothing is working. Can u pls help?

Hope you know that you can pray all day and night and still get no result? That is the story of millions of Nigerians who think prayers is everything .

The grace you talk about is what has been working for many who did not even pray. So it is not until you sweat in prayer.

Peter and Andrew toiled all night in the sea but caught no single fish. Luke 5:5

it's funny which part of the Bible you folks dwell on. Apart from that particular day,were they not catching fishes and doing well for themselves?


God just made an exceptional case on that particular day to convert them not that there are no fishes for them to catch

Nigerians have decided to build thousands of prayer houses based on their belief in prayers, yet they have built next to zero industries and factories. Every available space has been turned into a church, yet they pray for jobs in those spaces. Who are you all decieving ?

Will God come down to give brother John a job when you you have not created an opening as a human? We pray very unnecessary prayers in Nigeria.
That is the simple truth

Peter and Andrew toiled all night in the sea but caught no single fish. Luke 5:5

Yes, but when they "prayed" to the master. They didn't sit in their house and wait for fish to fall through the roof. They still went out to do the work.

The problem with many Christian's is that they pray to God then wait for the answer to fall from the sky. Forgetting that God will always use what is in your hands.

God has really blessed me financially in last few years, I have enough testimonies , but a lot of it was through the works of my hands.

God bless you o.

Very correct, especially when you pray amiss. I worked in a popular telecom company years back. I wasn't making a headway despite all the accrued benefits. I now resigned and went to inform the man of God, a successful first generation chartered accountant in Nigeria, who stood as my guarantor and informed him I had left the company. He now said, hmmm! I was thinking you were doing very well as I wasn't hearing from you since you joined the company.

He said to me, please, pray that the Lord should lead you in the right direction and show you the right path to your career freedom. God answered that prayer. Meanwhile, before then I had always been praying that God should provide a better job for me, which payed much better and with much more benefits in same sector, not knowing I was directing my prayer elsewhere.

In the bible, Peter and his brother had toiled all through the night but caught no fish. But Jesus said, put down your net and they said master, we've toiled all through the night with no catch (still telling stories) but at your word, we'd cast down the net. We knew what happened next. You can imagine they had been applying their same usual experience as fishermen in catching fish and without listening to Jesus when he spoke. They'd have left for home with fruitless efforts.

Pastor Adeboye was praying for just a house to be built for God for the gathering of His people and God told him stop asking me for a house. because I can give you a city and he changed the prayer point. Today, anyone who visits the redemption camp would know its a city indeed. Its bigger than the entire VI and lekki put together. One auditorium alone is 4x4 km in size, not to talk of the old ones and where people built houses and live. There's nothing you'd look for in a city that you'd not find there, except an airport but there's a helipad. They had their own power plant.

A friend of mine had a problem traceable to his family background. He's very intelligent and graduated top of his set. He'd write aptitude tests but they'd not call him. There was one in which he was second on the list of those who applied to Nigeria breweries job in those days. I was the one who collected the parcel which their rep who was driving a brand new Toyota condor brought to him cos he wasn't around to receive it. He asked me, where's our new colleague? He was one of the finalists selected from across Nigeria. They were just 6 in number. I was so happy for him. He just got married too and his ex wife was so happy. In the letter, they told him they'd invite them soon for a chat before resumption. That was the last he heard of them. All the 5 were employed except him. Today, one of them is an oga at the NB.

My friend was very prayerful but always prayed amiss. The day he tackled the family background war as exposed to him by a man of God during an intense prayer session, and those evil people told him they've left him alone ooo when the unseen fire of God hit them, was the beginning of his freedom. He has recovered all. His family relocated to UK but he stayed back home due to his thriving career. He never knew the problem was his family background. He was always praying for better jobs which he'd never get, though great opportunities kept coming his way. I have several similar stories but time won't permit me to tell it all.

You know the amusing thing we all forget to think about?
That is the fact that the prayers of a sinner is an abomination unto God.
So if you live and dwell in sin (like many so called christians do) but only know and remember that you are a Christian when you want something from God, and then you pray for 24hrs non stop, you are only making noise! Nothing more nothing less!

You don't expect to gain favour from one you have been disregarding his ways.

As a father will you be there to answer a child who does not obey you? Who does what he likes but only remembers you when he is hungry and wants something?

A man who has just duped his company of millions of naira is in church singing and dancing, praying to God. Giving offering.
And you believe he is praying?

In conclusion , most prayers by many so called christians are only physical gymnastic and wasteful labouring.
You need to live in the secret place of the almighty to be able to access his attention and power.

Peter and Andrew toiled all night in the sea but caught no single fish. Luke 5:5

Stop confusing yourself, hand that doesn't work should crave for food.
Yes, you can work hard and still don't make it but you won't go hungry.

If you engage in unnecessary fasting, you can develop ulcer and you will start querying God.
In whatever we do, we must always apply wisdom.
Prayer without work is dead on arrival.

helinues:
Fasting?

Hahaha, no be everyone dey joke with their stomachs

You're always on Nairaland spewing trash from Monday through Sunday, morning till night. You better find something meaningful to do or else you'll kpęmę from hunger like what the reverend said.

And sitting in the house doing fasting and prayer without working ??

Truer words are yet to be spoken. Well said sir.

Na destiny!

God bless you. That is the mistake many make. We have redefined what Christianity means

Salvation from Sin does not exempt you from the battles of life but rather it gives you the Platform to fight those battles and as long as you keep fighting those battles with relevant biblical weapons, you will overcome, Excel and succeed in life, life itself is a battle ground and not a playground, only true fighters prevail in the multifaceted battles of life as long as they don't give up,
Winners never quit and quitters never win, as one battle is coming to an end, several others are waiting for you, so you must keep fighting and keep your Weapons of Warfare battle ready daily

Peter and Andrew toiled all night in the sea but caught no single fish. Luke 5:5

So what's your own solution? Are you saying Peter and Andrew never caught fishes previous years. That particular period was meant to teach. They've been successful fishers.

You don't need prayers and fasting to be rich take it or leave it.

You don't need hard work to be rich.

And this doesn't mean via diabolic or illicit means, because a few are made richer than many hardworkers combined simply by being born into the family of the world's richest.

Work hard while you pray too

Interesting success story. I have one question though . How did he become top in his set when according to you he had "family background problem".
His family background problem forgot to attack his academic success?

Peter and Andrew toiled all night in the sea but caught no single fish. Luke 5:5

Balance your message

The following morning, he still cast his net at the command of Jesus. The fish didn't jump into his boat.

Combination of hard work and prayer bring success

Lk 5:5-6

But because you say so, I will let down the nets.”

6 When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break.

Truth 💯

you never understand the point of the message of hard work , it is for those that prays from morning to night year to year thinking Miracle money will fall from somewhere . They’re just joking
