Topic : Having Jesus As Your Partner.

Memory Verse : ‭John 6:20. But he said to them, “It is I; don’t be afraid.”

Bible Reading : ‭John 6:16-18 NIV‬. Key Verse: v18.

When evening came, his disciples went down to the lake, where they got into a boat and set off across the lake for Capernaum. By now it was dark, and Jesus had not yet joined them. A strong wind was blowing and the waters grew rough.

Jesus and his disciples had just been through a hectic day, ministering to the people all day and feeding them with both spiritual and physical food. After that, he sent his disciples to the other side of the lake and stayed back to recharge in the place of prayer, intending to join them when he’s done. While on sea, the disciples encountered difficult times because of unfavourable sailing conditions. ‭”A strong wind was blowing and the waters grew rough. When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the water; and they were frightened. But he said to them, “It is I; don’t be afraid.”” John 6:18-20.

Though Jesus wasn’t in the boat physically with the disciples, he knew when they were encountering unfavourable sailing conditions that could wreck their expedition. He knew when they were going through what they couldn’t handle on their own therefore needed help. He was there for them at the right time. Because it was night, when they saw him walking on water towards them, they became afraid thinking it was a ghost. Himself knowing their thoughts spoke up to calm their tensed minds by assuring them that it was himself showing up to help them out. Now note the fact that he didn’t need to struggle to control nature here. His presence alone was enough to take care of the situation and restore normalcy. ‭ “But he said to them, “It is I; don’t be afraid.” Then they were willing to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the shore where they were heading.” John 6:20-21.

Your relationship and partnership with him in life guarantees you of his intervention anytime need arises. You will notice in the account we read, there were no mobile phones to inform the master of what befell them on the sea, yet he came looking for them at the right time. Again, his presence in your life and whatever you do secures you and your investments. His presence was the game changer that made nature and everything on that day to begin to work in favour of that particular journey again. Their struggles, fears, delays and frustrations ended in a matter of moments and they got to the shores finally because his intervention. ‭”But now, this is what the Lord says— he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you, Israel: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I give Egypt for your ransom, Cush and Seba in your stead.” Isaiah 43:1-3.
