NEW TESTAMENT
Luke 5:1-16: This is one of the keys to a successful life: whatever you give for the Lord’s work to be done, He will multiply back to you. Peter sowed out of his business (fishing) and let Jesus use his boat. He was repaid abundantly for his actions.
A very important nugget for ministers and those ministering: Jesus became popular and was seeing great results. What was His response to the success? He withdrew to pray, to seek God’s will. He was filled up so He could continue to give out more!!!
