Do what you’re good at and you’ll find your increase.

May 9, 2019

“Jesus said, ‘Then the children get off free, right? But so we don’t upset them needlessly, go down to the lake, cast a hook, and pull in the first fish that bites. Open its mouth and you’ll find a coin. Take it and give it to the tax men. It will be enough for both of us’. ” Matthew 17:27, MSG

It is interesting that Jesus told Peter to go fishing to find the money they needed to pay their taxes. Peter wasn’t only called to be a fisher of men, he was a fisherman by trade. It was his profession and he was gifted to do it. Jesus instructed him to do what He was good at to find his increase.

Do what you’re good at and you will find your increase. That is where you will find the financial gain you’ve been looking for. We have to be like Peter and do what the Lord says. Trust God with that gift, Who gave it to you to bless others and to bless you also. If we become fearful doing what we’re good at, He can’t cause it to prosper us.

Just like within the fish, it may be rare that a piece of money, of all places, will be found in what you’re good at, but the Lord will cause it to be there. So step out and do what He says, because there is where you will abundantly find your increase, and great joy also.

Prayer: Father, I have been looking for my financial increase and it’s been right in front of me. I need to trust You and do what I’m good at. Help me to trust and believe You. I will do it by faith and get what You have for me and my family, and so I can be a great blessing. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
