UNTIL JESUS STEPPED IN

Many of us are going through an unpalatable, difficult, terrible situations in life and we are fed up of the situation already. All we need is to ask/allow Jesus step into the situation. Until you give Jesus the approval to step into your case, He won't.

Many of us think it is through us be a professional that we can solve the problems and unpalatable situations we are going through, but it is not true. Some problem solution might just be to follow a simple instruction, and it might just be a guide from a person that can only guide you. Simon was a professional when we are talking of fishing but he couldn't catch a single fish all the night (Luke 5:5a) Imagine!. But when Jesus stepped in the situation it was just an instruction He gave to Peter "Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught." (Luke 5:4). Peter tried to question that authority "And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: (Luke 5:5a) He was telling Jesus that he was a professional fisherman and he has toiled all night but did not catch a single fish. Glory be to God that he later obeyed the command "nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net" (Luke 5:5). And we see immediately he hearken to the command he caught multitudes of fish, the word multitude was used here because the fish could not be counted at all that it even cause their net to brake and their ship to sink. Think of the quantities of fishes that can make several ships (not one/two) to sink. That's an example of one thing that can happen if you allow Jesus step in to that situation of yours.

In Mark 4:35-41, we were made to know how Jesus stepped in when there was a great storm of wind after he was been called upon. Guess what happened afterwards, He calmed the storm with just three words Peace, be still. The disciples thought that was the end of their journey in life, but reversed was the case which made them fear Jesus more (Mark 4:41). Situation can turn around for your good if only you will allow Jesus to step in

In Luke 19:1-9, we were also made to know how Jesus stepped into Zaccheus life. Zaccheus made a move which demanded Jesus to step into his life. Because he was very little in stature so he thought of a simple way to see Jesus which made him climb a sycamore tree. It was on the tree Jesus sighted him (Luke 19:5) and He asked him to make haste to get down for that day He is going to abide in his house. Though people were murmuring that Jesus was abiding in the house of a sinner(Luke 19:7) but He did not change His mind about abiding in the house of Zaccheus that day. And we were made to know that since that day onward His life has never remain the same. If you allow Jesus step into your life, no matter accusations, bad attributes, blames, discouragement, complains people made about you, He does not want to listen, it can't change His mind, all He know is that change is about to happen in your life.

However before Jesus can step in to your life, you have to carry out the following necessities:
1. Be born again: Jesus can't step into your situation if you don't know Him. You must accept Him as your Lord and personal Saviour before He can step in to your life. (John 3:3). You must be ready to let Jesus step into your life.
2. You must abide in Him: Not only to be born again, you must also abide in Him for His steps to be fruitful in your life, John 15:1-5
3. You must be Obedient to His command: For Jesus to step into that situation of your life you must be Obedient. The examples that have been cited above shows that after they allow Jesus stepped in they obey all His command and instructions, John 15:10, John 16:26, Romans 6:16, Luke 11:28, Job 36:11 Deut. 11: 26-28, John 14:15
4. You must be ready to be of good use to Jesus: It was after Jesus used Peters' boat for evangelism that he stepped into what he has be battling with through the night. Matt 28:18-20
5. Believe in Him, Trust in Him, Never Doubt or Question His command/word


FOR JESUS TO STEP IN, IT DEPENDS ON YOU IF YOU WILL ALLOW HIM.
JESUS CAN ONLY STEP INTO THAT YOU ARE BATTLING WITH, IF ONLY YOU WILL ALLOW HIM
WILL YOU ALLOW HIM?????????????????
GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
