Divine Partnership

"1 On one occasion, while the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret, 2 and he saw two boats by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets. 3 Getting into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, he asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the people from the boat. 4 And when he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” 5 And Simon answered, “Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.” 6 And when they had done this, they enclosed a large number of fish, and their nets were breaking. 7 They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink." - Luke 5: 1-7

In these seven verses lies the secret to divine manifestation.  Where was Jesus during this scene in Luke 5? He was in the marketplace.

Why is this significant?

It's significant because He met these marketplace leaders at a place of despair and frustration. They were professional fishermen; they toiled all night and caught nothing.

Before you read any further, please say this three times .... "Manifesting my divine destiny is not based on skills but on a threefold partnership."

As you examine Luke 5:1-7 once more, you will see the role of each of these players in this threefold partnership.
