If you think Peter sank because he doubted, you miss what happened before doubt ever spoke. We often time treat this moment like a cautionary tale; Peter looked away, lost faith, and began to sink. But the part we almost don't pay attention to is the most interesting and uncomfortable one; that Peter starts sinking after he obeys Jesus. Jesus tells him to come. Peter steps out. But notice that nothing in the weather changed. the storm doesn't stop, the wind is still fierce and the waves are still hitting him in the face. The only thing that changes is Peter’s location. He’s no longer in the boat with everyone else. Obedience moved him forward, but not into comfort. He’s doing exactly what Jesus asked. He’s walking toward Him. And that is when fear crept in. Scripture says he saw the wind and became afraid. That’s not unbelief, that’s Peter being human. Fear is the body responding to danger. If fear disqualified him, he never would’ve stepped out in the first place. Notice Jesus doesn’t ask, “Why were you afraid?” He asks, “Why did you doubt?” Fear is what Peter felt. Doubt is what that fear produced. Fear grabbed his attention and pulled his trust off-center. You can be afraid and still believe. You can feel overwhelmed and still be obedient. You can panic and still be moving in the right direction. When Peter began to sink, he cries out "“Lord, save me.” No long prayer, or speech. Just pure honest, desperate cry. That is what we call faith. He never doubted Jesus. And Jesus responds immediately while the storm is still raging, and Peter is still shaking." Jesus reaches out and grabs him. That means Peter was right there; he didnt sink far away, he was close enough to Jesus. He reached the end of his rope while he was still moving forward. He got as close to Jesus as he could, and his human limits just gave out. That’s who God is. Fear doesn’t scare Him off. Panic doesn’t make Him step back. Struggle doesn’t mean you misheard the call or your visions and dreams were far-fetched. All you need is to CALL OUT! Those who call upon the name of the LORD will find salvation. Help might not arrive in the way you expect. Storms may continue to rage, and your pain, regrets, and fears might still pursue you. Yet, Jesus’s hands are always there to prevent you from drowning. Don't act tough when you should be crying for help. Don't assume you are faithless just because you are afraid. It's ok to be afraid, to be overwhelmed. But you must listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit, not those that pass judgement on you because you are sinking. So the real question is this: When obedience brings you close, but fear still rises, do you assume you failed or do you reach for the hand that was already reaching for you? #Christianity #BiblicalTruth #FaithOverFear #Peter #SpiritualMaturity Ellis Enobun

So ever since I made that post about my husband leaving meat for me my DMs are buzzing😂 And the most popular question I’m seeing from my ladies is “Ma how do you recognize a man that is good and kind and selfless?” The honest truth is you cannot know a 100 percent A huge part of marriage is trust and taking that leap of faith. Because there are people will tell you how they prayed and how they payed attention and all that and somehow either the person was just pretending to get them or the person changed. I cannot invalidate anyone’s experience. Here’s what I can say though and I can only share from my own experience People don’t change much. And I saw from day 1 the kind of man my husband was My husband was not from my church . And my church has this weird rule where they want men to be clean shaven on the wedding day. Kinda annoying I know. But that’s their administrative rule.And my husband keeps an Afro and a beard. When I told him about it, he just smiled and said “no problem.” My husband not only shaved his beard, he trimmed his Afro super low too. He just told me “Ochanya, just tell me what I need to do to make you mine. Hair will grow back” Even my mum that was sceptical about someone not from our church, this thing just win her heart because she saw a man that was willing to go above and beyond for her daughter. And generally a happy marriage is made when two people are willing to go above and beyond for each other. I’m not Yoruba. When I got to know that I had to call my in laws who I’m older than “aunty”, it was weird but I still humbled my self and did it. Because it does not reduce me. All I’m saying is that there will be signs. Things will happen that will make you seethe personality of the person. How amiable they are. How they react to weird situations and how they solve problems as they pop up. You will know. Even though people pretend, they can’t pretend all the time. And obviously the Holyspirit is there to guide you. Don’t stop praying. May God help us to end in the right place
