*WHAT ARE YOU BECOMING? STRETCH YOURSELF.*(Series 1) *Scripture Reading:* Luke 5:1-11 *"and so were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon [Peter]. Jesus said to Simon, “Have no fear; from now on you will be catching men!” After they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed Him [becoming His disciples, believing and trusting in Him and following His example]"* (10-11 AMP) We thank God for another miracle of gift of life. So many desire to witness this day but were not graced. Our righteousness, holiness and faithfulness is nothing before Him but thank God for His unfailing Grace and mercy on us. May His name be Praise forever in Jesus Christ name. God has a purpose and huge plans for everyone. And to discover God's purpose and plans for your life, you must align yourself to His will. The plans of God to father Abraham is to make him a blessing and father of all nation even at ninety-nine years old. *"When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, "I am God Almighty; Walk [habitually] before Me [with integrity, knowing that you are always in My presence], and be blameless and complete [in obedience to Me]."* (Genesis 17:1 AMP) To bring to fulfilment of God's promises to father Abraham, the requirements is that, he(Abraham) must always walk with God and be blameless even in complete obedience to God. Being fulfilled in life is as a result of your stretching further towards what you are becoming. Let it be known to you that, what you are today, either in your spiritual life, ministry, marriage, career, finances and relationship etc. is as a result of the level of your stretched. The Lord Jesus make it known to Simon Peter in our scripture today that indeed you have been catching fish as a choosing career but that's not my purpose and plans for your life. *"For he and all his companions were completely astounded at the catch of fish which they had taken; and so were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon [Peter]. Jesus said to Simon, “Have no fear; from now on you will be catching men!”*(Luke 5:9-10 AMP) The moment Simon Peter discovered this, he choose to follow Jesus no matter the cost both day and night. And in the book of John chapter number 6, after Jesus fed the five thousand, many followed Him. while he was teaching, Many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more because the teaching was so hard on them but in verse 67, Jesus said to the twelve disciples, "do you also want to go away?" this is the respond of Simon Peter in verse 68-69; *"Simon Peter answered, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You [alone] have the words of eternal life [you are our only hope]. We have believed and confidently trusted, and [even more] we have come to know [by personal observation and experience] that You are the Holy One of God [the Christ, the Son of the living God].”*(AMP) Simon Peter discover exactly what his living for and he stretched himself towards it in becoming what has been written concerning his destiny. May you receive deep revelation about whom you are in Jesus Christ name. To be continue tomorrow morning by God's Grace. Good morning and do have a fruitful week, peace. *Prayer point:* Thank you Holy Spirit for revealing the truth. I ask for deep revelation on what you say I am Lord that I may stretch further in becoming what you want me to become in Jesus Christ name. Amen! T.S. AFOLAYAN
