MATTHEW 14: 25- 29
“During
the forth watch of the night Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. When
the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified, it’s a ghost
they said and cried out in fear. But Jesus immediately said to them, take
courage! It is I, don’t be afraid. Lord if it’s you Peter replied, tell me to
come to you on the water. Come he said. Then Peter got DOWN OUT OF THE BOAT, WALKED ON THE WATER and came towards Jesus.”
Jesus proved wrong the law of gravity by
walking on water, nobody has ever seen such thing before, but with God all
thing are possible. The power of God sustained and kept Jesus to walk on water.
His disciples could not believe what they saw, they thought it was a ghost
walking on water, when Jesus told them it was him, Peter called on Jesus to
invite him to join him on water, and Jesus told him to come. Peter never
believed it was possible for anybody to walk on water, not to talk of him
walking on water! He never believed he could do the unusual until he got out of
the boat and joined Jesus on water.
The potentials that God has deposited in you
will not start manifesting until you make the move to do something about it.
You don’t need to wait until everything is complete and perfect before you will
embark on your God given vision. Do not let lack of resources or fund to restrict
you from fulfilling your destiny, you can start where you are and with what you
have. The scripture says we should not
despise the days of little beginning (Zechariah 4:10). Don’t be trapped in a
spot with fear of failure, for you to do the unusual. You need to get out of
your comfort zone and move towards the area of “risk and insecurity” that is
challenging you. If Peter had not gotten out of the boat, he wouldn’t have had
the opportunity to do the unusual by walking on water!
Staying in the boat is much safer than going
to walk on water that could cause him to get drowned, but he decided to move
out of his comfort zone to do the supernatural.
Apart from Peter's name, none of the disciples name were mentioned. Why? This is because they did not do any spectacular thing worth mentioning them for in that particular chapter. However, Peter made the move to do the unusual by stepping out of his comfort zone ( the boat) to walk on water. His name entered the list of people that did great and supernatural things that generations to come will be talking about.
In the same way, if you make up your mind to step out of your comfort zone where nothing good and spectacular can be achieved, and walk on water where there is good risks and challenges, you will do the extraordinary and leave good legacy that generations to come will be talking about.
That dream that seems too big for you to achieve is achievable, if you make effort to move out of the boat (comfort zone) and call on Jesus to help you walk through the water of impossibilities so that you can fulfill your dream.

A failure
is not somebody that tried but failed, a failure is a person who refused to try
at all.
Don’t get discouraged, get out of your comfort zone, see beyond any
impossibility and make the resolution to achieve your dreams.
