Master the Instruction its your Turn…
In my quiet time of prayer meditating in the morning Holy Spirit began highlighting Peter and his occupation which was that of a fisherman. I began to recall that he had a fishing business, and this was how Peter provided for his family. As I pondered this, I transition into reading my devotional and scriptures and there it was the story of Peter the fisherman, the taxes, and the coin in the fish’s mouth.
Not 5 minutes earlier I was receiving a word from Holy Spirit and now I am reading the very scriptures about Peter the fisherman, the fish and the coin. And on this morning the thoughts of Peter were highlighted so bright. Not only was fishing his job, his profession, and how he provided for his family, but it was his Gift. It was his gift that took care of his family. His profession, his gifting, was used to provide for his family and pay his taxes without any hindrances.
In Matthew Ch 17:24-27 we read about the temple tax. Peter was confronted about Jesus paying taxes. If you know the story, then you know that Peter says yes Jesus pays the tax but immediately returns to Jesus to ask if it is so. After a brief dialogue, Jesus instructed Peter to go to the lake throw out a hook and the 1st fish caught would have a Gold coin in its mouth. This coin would be enough for Jesus’s taxes and Peter’s taxes. Peter followed the instructions of the LORD and received the blessing.
It was the instruction from Jesus and the obedience of Peter to go fish and the coin would be in the mouth of the fish to pay not only Jesus’s taxes but Peter’s taxes as well. It is time to Master the Instruction. The Lord is instructing you today to accomplish an assignment given to you. Perhaps he’s already instructed you in times past and you have not obeyed the instruction. Now is the time for your obedience. If Jesus says it then it is so. It is now your responsibility to do as He instructed, and His instructions are to your benefit.

Jesus told Peter to go do something he already knew how to do. Jesus put His supernatural on Peter’s gift of fishing. What is your Gift? Jesus is waiting.
Mark 11:23 Prayer for Today:
Today let’s believe the word of God.
Father I sit and listen for your instructions for me in this day. I pray to have the boldness and the courage to carry out the instructions that you give to me. I know it is in my obedience to the instructions, that your will is done in the Earth realm. And through my obedience I receive the benefits, rewards, and the blessings of your Supernatural abilities in my life. I thank you Lord when I Master the Instructions that you give me, I am successful and reap an amazing harvest in Jesus’s name Amen.
Yours in Christ
