Devotional

The topic this week -

Jesus said:

Come, follow Me, and

I will make you fishers of men.

Mark 1:17
Berean Study Bible

---

Monday

Jesus called out to them,

"Come, follow me, and

I will show you how to fish for people!"

Matthew 4:19 NLT

God gives us an assignment:

Follow him and learn how to be fishers of men.

-

We are told to be

fishermen

who

help catch people

for

Jesus!

-

Let's get excited about our assignment!

This page has videos

to help us

Get Excited

about fishing!

*

This little boy's excitement is contagious!

Tuesday 

Spiritually Speaking:

Sometimes younger fishermen

can catch the older fish

that have been

evading

the more mature fishermen.

-

For example:

Many times children impact

their uninterested family members

for Christ

more than the adult Christians in the family.

Wednesday

Gentleness is one of the

nine

Fruit of the Spirit

found in Galatians 5:22-23.

And

Gentleness and Encouragement

can create miracles!

Would you pray with me?

Dear Lord,

I pray that older Christians

would mentor younger Christians

with

the same gentleness

that the parents on this page

are mentoring their children.

In Jesus' name I pray,

Amen

Famous King David

said to God:

"Thy gentleness hath made me great!"

Thursday

Children can inspire us if we let them!

Let's tag along with Blake

and get

excited about fishing!

Jesus called out to them,

"Come, follow me!

And I will make you

fishermen

for the souls of men!"

At once they left their nets and went along with him.

Mark 1:17 TLB

Friday

Jesus tells us that:

Fishing with friends

can be a

GREAT idea!

-

In Luke 10:1-4 AMP version,

Jesus sent out 70 disciples

two by two

to "catch fish."

Jesus told them,

"The harvest is abundant

[for there are many who need to hear the good news

about salvation],

but the workers

[those available to proclaim the message of salvation]

are few.

Therefore,

[prayerfully]

ask the Lord of the harvest

to send out workers into His harvest."

So.... in Luke chapter 10,

Jesus is telling us to

PRAY

for more fishermen!

Dear Lord,

Stir up more people to go fishing!

And -

Teach me to be a better fisherman!

AMEN!

Saturday

Fishing videos

-

The first video reminds us that

new converts to Christ

sometimes

are rough around the edges.

They

CAN have

sharp edges!

-

We need to expect that.

Next:

Listen as this little boy catches his first fish

AND he is

so EXCITED that he exclaims,

"It's the First Day of my Whole Life!"

-

That video was taken down off Youtube.

But I hope just hearing about it

brings a smile to your face.

Before showing the last video

I will give the main insight

on this page.

Children can inspire us if we let them!
