INSTRUCTOR: RAPTURE OBED KUDI

PRAYER: We bless your Holy Name Jesus, You are the only wise God, Immortal, invisible, the all knowing God, father we adore you. Thank you for this time. Times and seasons belongs to you. Whatever you do is permanent. Nothing can be added to it and nothing can be reduced it. Eccl 3:14.
Thank you for the name of Jesus, thank you for the instructors of this teaching. Give us understanding as we learn. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

OBEDIENCE
Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus, I count it a privilege to teach in the midst of great such as you. I really also want to specially thank my daddy, Mr. Elmond Isaiah, the founder and president of TMS for this rare privilege to teach. There are numerous people in TMS, yet he gave me the privilege. God bless you Sir.
Thank you Jesus, Thank you Holy Spirit for inspiration. I believe with the ability of God in me, we both will achieve the aim of this teaching. His strength is made perfect in my weakness.
We are a perfection of God's strength. Amen.
No logical explanation can account for why someone would show His strength through our weakness. But we thank God all the same. Because our weakness are now a medium for the exhibition of His supernatural strength.
Our text is John 21:1-6
John 21:1-6; After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself. There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples. Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing. But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No. And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.
With the little knowledge of the Bible I have, I realize there is one distinct quality that I got to find out; all those who enjoy God's blessings to its fullest, those who have a right standing with Him are those who posses this quality of obedience.
This quality is what God demands from His people anytime He sets His rules and regulations.
Abraham wouldn't have known God as Jehovah Jireh, if not because he obeyed God's instructions despite the pain he was faced with. When the Law of Moses was given to the Israelites all he demanded from them was obedience and everything will be well with them.
Even Moses firstborn wouldn't have been spared talk less of other Israelites if the token was not applied on the door post and the lintel of the door when d death angel struck Egypt.
Every Israelites applied the blood as instructed if not the death angel might have stroke their firstborn sons dead too.

OBEDIENCE
Obedient is the willingness to comply with the commands, orders or instructions of those in authority. It takes humility for one to obey those in authority. You wonder why Jesus is the Lamb of God. Yes, He sure has the nature of the lamb which is meekness, docile( yielding to control or direction) and easily led. So, the Holy Spirit easily led Him (the dove leading the lamb) and with such character He was obedient even onto death, the death on d cross (Phil. 2:8)
Back to our text John 21:1-6
On the sea of Tiberias , Jesus appeared to 7 of His disciples.
Peter whose occupation was fishing before he met Jesus to start fishing men (Matthew 4:19), after Jesus death he decided to returning to his job of fishing. Six of the disciples were interested, so they followed him.
They all entered into the boat which signifies their faith in what they were holding, even the net which signifies the spreading of the gospel of our Jesus Christ. With their faith, they went to the people (the fishes) and spread d gospel (the net) thereon but they caught nothing. One may ask why they couldn't catch anything and at that point in time where were the fishes?
They caught nothing because God want to still show His act of power through them.
I am sure Peter after that encounter learned more about total surrender to God.
The fishes where in d water but obviously not in the locations Peter and the other disciples throwing the net.
In verse 4
After toiling through the night, holding on to the faith despite the discouragement of no result, then came Jesus in the break of dawn to them for solution through the mighty power of God.
So it is going to happen to you reading this note in Jesus name. Joy cometh in d morning, that bright and morning star will shine over you, it’s sooner than you expected In Jesus Name. Amen.
Jesus asked if they had meat and they answered no, which is obviously true that they don't have. Then the instruction went forth; "cast the net on the right side of the ship and ye shall find". Simple instruction!
If they had disobeyed Jesus at this instance they wouldn't have caught the fishes they caught which represent the lost souls.
The end product of obedience is always a bountiful harvest. That simple act of obedience yields a tremendous result.
The secret of having an abundant provision and full supply is OBEDIENCE
Matthew 6:33
Says seek ye fist the kingdom of God, and its righteousness; and all these things (name them) shall be added to you. (Thats an instruction to be obeyed).
Reading how to be led by the Holy Spirit, Pastor Kenneth Hagin said He listens to the Holy Spirit obeys Him.
The gospel of Jesus Christ was given for reconciliation, salvation (deliverance from death), and redemption of d souls of men.
Death was abolished, life and immortality was brought to light through the gospel of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.

SUMMARY BY ELMOND ISAIAH
Obedience is a factor for accessing Gods provision for you. You get nothing from God outside disobedience.
Disobedience It kills.
You know how to flee from disobedience? Is to fleeRead 1Thess 5:22
Evil has looks; it has nature and an appearance. Flee from them all,
Can I ask u? Which fish will see net in the sea and stay?
When they see net, they know its death... So they will flee.
Imagine, these professional well skilled fisher men could not catch anything when they were supposed to. All their skills was useless throughout that night.
But when they hear the voice of their master... Their creator... The one whose voice thunders... The one who's voice breaks the cedars of Lebanon. The ones who have the final say. The one who says a thing and it stands. The one whose voice has an instant creative ability!
They heard that voice... Hahah...
The voice that can call forth things that be not as though they are.
You see, it is easier for animals to obey God because they neither plant nor gather a harvest.. Yet God feeds them.
They obey God because they have no option. No plan B. No will.
When they heard the voice of the word, the word that made up all those fishes
 Jesus is the word of God...
Jesus is the particles that made up the heavens and the earth... The universe and the glue that holds everything together....
When God said let the sea bring forth fishes abundantly, it was Jesus He spoke!
It was Jesus who was translated to become fishes!!!!!
The breath in your nostril is composed of Jesus. Your skin is composed of Jesus; your blood is made up of Jesus. Everything is composed of Jesus before perversion sets in.
Things come into full fruition and expression of God in rigorousness when they listen to God and obey Him.
So, when the fishes heard the voice of the master saying they shall be caught, they avail themselves to be caught. That's obedience to the point of death. They know they will die, yet, because the master said so, they obeyed.
In fact, they were all eager to enter the ne.
How many of us can obey God like this?
SYMBOLIC MEANING OF THE VARIABLES IN THIS STORY
The boat they used signify the church of God,
The net signify spreading the Gospel,
The river signify the world,
The right side they were told to cast the net was the location Holy Spirit will want them to go preach the Gospel.
Then the fishes were the lost souls to be won. Hallelujah.
Obedience is truly better than sacrifice. King Soul knows that well.

PRAYER: Father Lord we thank you for this teaching. Please help us to live a life of total obedience to you. We surrender all to you Holy Spirit. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
