TOPIC – Launch Into The Deep (1) (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 1 June 2026)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Job 18, Job 19, Job 20, Acts 4, Acts 5.
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Luke 5:1-11 (KJV)
And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,
2 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.
4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.
6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.
7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, 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 was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:
10 And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.
11 And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him.

MFM Devotional For Today 2026 MESSAGE:
Peter, a professional fisherman, had worked all night and caught no fish. It was both frustrating and surprising, going by his wealth of experience on the job. His timing was right. The tools he used were also appropriate. He was at his wits’ end when Jesus came to the scene. He obliged Jesus’ request to use his boat for the work of the kingdom. Thereafter, Jesus gave him that simple but game-changing instruction, “Launch into the deep.” That is, cast your net into deeper water. Peter must have tried many techniques in his attempt to catch some fish all through the night. He must have wondered about what was special about the instruction. Doesn’t Jesus know he is a professional fisherman with many years of cognate experience?

What Peter did with the instruction will forever determine the course of his life. His encounter with Jesus that day could make or mar his destiny, depending on whether he carried out the Master’s instruction or not. Heaven presented him an opportunity, a test of his faith. Jesus, who gave the instruction, is the word of God. The Bible says that by Him were all things made and without Him was not anything made that was made (John 1:3). He knew what Peter didn’t know and could do what Peter couldn’t. At His instruction, the fishes left their hideouts and entered Peter’s nets, giving him an unprecedented net-breaking catch. This testimony of divine turnaround changed the course of Peter’s life and ministry positively from that day.
Beloved, don’t ignore, despise or disobey divine instructions. Many who are guilty of this offence are wallowing in the valley of insignificance. They are abysmal failures in life. Many students have failed examinations for not following the examiner’s instructions or rubrics. Conversely those who follow divine instructions are wise, and they will always do exploits and shine like stars.
You might have attempted that venture, examination or breakthrough a couple of times using your skill, knowledge, wisdom, experience and connections all to no avail. I enjoin you to seek the face of our Royal Master, get His instruction and carry it out to the letter. Trust His unfailing ability and provision. Trust and obey Him. That is the only way to be happy and fulfilled in Jesus.
