Fishers of fish are not normally fishers of men.
Jesus told Peter to follow Him so that Peter would come to know who Peter really was.
Here is where the conflict starts: knowing how we see ourselves versus how God sees us. Peter does not see himself as a fisher of men. In fact, Peter was not particularly good with people; he didn’t have really good social skills. Jesus was leading leaders who did not see themselves as leaders.
The Bible Says, The Lord is good, A strength and stronghold in the day of trouble; He knows [He recognizes, cares for, and understands fully] those who take refuge and trust in Him. NAHUM 1:7 AMP. Lets take complete Refuge in Him by trusting 100%.
God does not wait until we get saved/settled to decide what He will do in our life. He knew before we were formed what we would be. (Ref Jer 1:5) Let's simply say Yes to Him and No to other priorities. Amen.
Jesus confirmed to us from His oracle.... You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and I have appointed and placed and purposefully planted you, so that you would go and bear fruit and keep on bearing, and that your fruit will remain and be lasting, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name [as My representative] He may give to you. JOHN 15:16 AMP.
Lets Submit to Him to bring Glory to The Kingdom and to His Name.
And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose. ROMANS 8:28 AMP.
