Do The Impossible By Walking On Water

“So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.” Matthew 14:29 NKJV

Walking on water defies specific scientific laws. It’s supposed to be an impossible task, especially when you haven’t set up the technology that will allow you to do it.

Certain exploits in your career have been tagged impossible until you reach certain levels in life.

But doing the impossible is possible only when the following happens:

1. Jesus tells you to “come”

The power of divine instruction has been underestimated. While we have the ability to make our own decisions, we also have the ability to ask in order to receive the instruction that will influence such decisions.

Many of us have made life-altering decisions that we’ve regretted simply because we obeyed a voice that wasn’t from God. The instruction provides the tech you need to do the impossible.

2. You step out of the boat

When there’s a storm, staying in the boat gives you a feeling of safety. It’s not comfortable, but you can bet that you’ll be fine. When you step out of the boat, you enter the storm.

Sometimes you can be asked to take up a certain project that you know is a potential source of ridicule because no one else ever succeeded at it. But if Christ has said “come”, then that project is already set up for success. You just have one more hurdle to cross.

3. You keep the faith

Taking your first step on the water won’t cause the storm to cease. The storm may not even cease until you complete the project. But knowing that one day, with Jesus by your side, the storm will cease is the encouragement you can use to keep walking.

If you doubt and allow the voices of the naysayers, jesters and bullies to get to you, you’ll begin to sink. But when that happens, calling out to Jesus for help because you know He can hear you is still an expression of faith. So don’t beat yourself up when you get depressed because the project doesn’t look like it is working out as planned. Just call out to Him.

With God, all things are possible. Peter experienced this first hand and many Christians have been walking on water in their careers for centuries, redefining what is possible. Let’s also walk on water too.
