I Know you'll sound like "Am I Jesus that I'd walk on the water?" or
"Am I Peter that was ordered by Jesus to come walk on water?" Some will
argue that "the levels of their anointing cannot make water to solidify
so as to walk on it" .You're absolutely right! And I'll not dare you to
walk on water if you're not led.
Better still,there's a lesson beyond the prism of walking
on the water in an actual sense which we may not take a keen attention
to.Jesus walking on water in Matt 14:25 is an allegory(representation)
to us as a christian.
Ordinary,if a man is walking on the water,it's
not expected that he should float instead he should get drown at a
certain point in the water but for Jesus,it wasn't like that and reasons
for that is crystal clear.He's having power over everything beneath the
water,how much more the surface of it?
Don't let me bore you with many biblical view about this.So,let's go on into the main lesson that God want us to know.
If you'll agree with me,it's certain that the main motive of water is to sink a man.Isn't it?
The water then could be likened to the challenges of life.Mainly,the
challenges of life is to sink a man down,to bring him/her to his/her
kneels so as not to get to the destination.In the face of the challenges
of Life,Jesus expects that we must float on the waters of life that
attendeth our ways like river on a daily basis.Failure to walk on
them,the destination is not certain neither can it be achieved by
strokes of magic.If Jesus should walk on water,then you must!
However,we must come to this knowledge that,Jesus walking on water
wasn't in the absense of floater.The One and only factor that makes him
have a free walk was His FAITH and that's the floater! Peter only saw
Jesus walking without having a full comprehension of what enhances his
bouyancy.Well,being the speaker of the disciples,he was ready to enter
into the problem.He beckoned on Jesus and He ordered him to come.Peter
was having a smooth journey from the boat towards Jesus but all of a
sudden he was dropping down.That's the challenges of life I'm talking
about! But then,when he could not help,he sorts for help from Jesus and
he was rescued.
But,this is the point:Peter was walking with a
degree of faith that cannot sustain him and he knew not,it was until a
terrific wind boistered on him that he knew that he's not measuring to
the standard.The same way the wind revealed the weaknesses of Peter,so
it is with us.The challenges of life are ready to expose us to the world
and make a shame of us.Don't you think that,as at the hour of Peter
sinking,some of the disciples may be laughing saying 'ko tan oo,sebi a
so fun o pe ko malo" and other forms of insult.
Any attempt to
succeed in life would not be in the absence of failure but how you
handle the failure determines whether you'll excel.
I know you're
sinking already,issues of life have rendered you helpless,just behave
like peter who in the midst of problem cried "LORD SAVE ME" Cry to Him!
Jesus expect that you've a growing faith that will confront a growing storm and not a little faith that'll be overpowered.
To complete this lesson,in vs 32 the bible says '..when they come into
the ship,the wind ceased' This shows that after you've dared the
challenges of life,you'll enter your rest at last but if you give up at
the middle of those challenges,you'll not enter your rest.
That's why you must walk on the water.
Get Faith And Walk!
See you walking on it!
