Lessons from John Chapter 21

  • There are nine different lessons in John Chapter 21.
  • The lesson is that we should not miss what is in the Bible by just reading through it quickly.
  • Simon Peter said he was going fishing with emphasis, which may have indicated frustration or disappointment with Jesus' absence.
  • People will follow a leader without being told to do so, as demonstrated when other disciples followed Peter's decision to go fishing.
  • When people make their own decisions without seeking God's guidance, they may not achieve anything fruitful.
  • Acknowledge God in all your ways before making any plans for your day or life because His plan is already blessed.

The Importance of Humility

In this section, Joyce Meyer discusses the importance of humility and how it relates to our plans for the future.

Humility and God's Plans

  • God assigns great importance to us, but we are not in charge.
  • Instead of making all our plans for the future and expecting God to bless them, we should slow down and say "If the Lord is willing, we shall do this thing or that thing."
  • Boasting in our presumption and self-conceit is wrong.

Recognizing Jesus' Presence

  • We need to recognize that luck is not a concept for believers. Everything happens because God busies himself with our every step.
  • The disciples were standing right next to Jesus but did not recognize him. We should pray that we don't miss what God is doing in our lives.
  • There is nothing that you do that God is not interested in, and there's no place that you go where God is not there.

Cast Your Net on the Right Side

  • We are never alone because we have a constant companion in God.
  • Sometimes what we're doing isn't working, so we need to cast our net on the right side of the boat.
  • It would be wonderful if we could get through one day without having opinions about what everybody else is doing.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Joyce Meyer emphasizes the importance of humility and recognizing God's presence in our lives. She encourages us to cast our nets on the right side of the boat when things aren't working out as planned.

Joyce encourages her audience to be open to God's presence in their lives, asking for His direction in their decisions and actions.
