Uncommon Sense

"Master," Simon answered, "we worked hard all night long and caught nothing. But if you say so, I will let down the nets." Luke 5:5

When common sense fails, what you need is an uncommon sense. Every sense comes as a result of information. It is common sense that when you work hard; when you do the right thing at the right time and when you apply the right skill, you succeed. But what happened to Peter and his colleagues in Luke 5 revealed that one can still fail despite the application of this common sense.

At this level an higher information is needed- a word from the Lord which I call an uncommon sense. For some people, they may easily receive the word by an encounter with their prophet like it happened to Peter but in some other cases they may have to seek God’s face to get a word through meditation on the word, fasting and prayer.

Beloved, have you applied the common sense and yet you did not get the result? Don’t give up, there is a way for you. The Lord will lead you and guide you. He will bring you to that mountain of success and breakthrough. Your responsibility is to seek the Lord on the issue and whatever He tells you, do.
It is well.
