Fire Scripture: Luke 5:1-11
1 So it was, as the multitude pressed about Him to hear the word of God, that He stood by the Lake of Gennesaret, 2 and saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen had gone from them and were washing their nets. 3 Then He got into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And He sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat.
4 When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”
5 But Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net.” 6 And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking. 7 So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. 8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!”
9 For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish which they had taken; 10 and so also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men.” 11 So when they had brought their boats to land, they [a]forsook all and followed Him.

An encounter with Jesus is the glorious game-changer for anyone who has been short-changed or altered negatively by the critical challenges of life. It was the encounter which Apostle Paul had with Jesus on his way to Damascus that gloriously changed the course of his life. He forsook everything that he might gain all of Christ. “But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ” (Phil. 3:7-8).
The Apostles and all who have ever made tangible progress and lasting impact in the business of God’s Kingdom are people who encountered His glory. The Lord can use you too as a vessel of blessing to your generation. All you need is an encounter with Jesus. An encounter with Jesus will however interrupt your life. You may lose your life’s ambition if that will stand between you and your Lord. An Encounter with Jesus will straighten your life as it did that of Zacchaeus (Luke 19:8-9).
An encounter with Jesus will you to become more serious with God and not to be careless like Samson. An encounter with Jesus will refocus your mind on the Kingdom lifestyle. Encounter with Jesus will wean your heart from the mundane things of this world. It will fill your heart with fresh hunger and thirst for God. It will also help you to live with the understanding that a day is coming whereby you will stand before the Judgement seat of Christ.
The beauty of encounter with Jesus Christ is that your life will never remain the same again. The presence of God will saturate you and the reality of the life of Jesus will pervade your life. The glory of God will permeate your entire life and you shall begin to make impact for God.
