Your Boat will not drown

The titanic was such a magnificent cruise liner that many times than not prided itself in its safety, comfort, durability.

However despite of all the aforementioned advantages and attributes that came along with the titanic it one day drowned.

 It drowned to the disappointment of many.

And when it drowned many hopes, visions, dreams, and aspirations drowned along with it. In simple understand the titanic was a giant boat sailing the affluent of its day on luxurious voyages and fun-trips. 

Conversely every child of great destiny has their own personal and private boat in this school of life.

Your boat can actually be a given relationship whether it is a personal business, and a spiritual relationship.

And it can be considered a boat as long at it brings you comfort, safety, and peace. A boat is an element or a facility which enables water transport to actually take place.

And in Matthew 9:20 Jesus replies a religious teacher with a passion to follow him by arguing that, “Foxes have dens to live in, and birds have nests,” but the son of man, has no place even to lay his head.

However in Matthew 9:24, Ii paints the picture of Jesus sleeping in a boat that is up against a fierce storm with waves breaking into the boat.

Sleeping as we may all know is a position of rest with one’s head lying down.

So how come Jesus said previously that the son of man has no place to lay his head while we see him in a 

storm battered boat laying his head down.

During the course of his assignment upon the earth, Jesus did not call himself many things except for the title “son of man”. In Hebrew the title son of man translates to mean,”Bnei Adamah “whose root interpretation means,’ the seed of God in the earth/ upon the earth.

In other wards if there is any place that the son of man can comfortably, safely, and peacefully lay his head then that place is to be found in the faith of his father or rather in the word of his father whose transportation is by way of the spirit of the father.

Water is a spirit hence the word of God (the boat) sails upon the spirit of God (the water).

 In Matthew 9:18, Jesus instructed his disciples to cross to the other side of the lake well aware that they will be a storm coming that will threaten the safety , comfort, and the peace of the boat by which the disciples were to use in order to make it to the other side of the lake.

 But none the less he let them sail because he knew the storm will not drown the boat.

They sailed and suddenly a fierce storm struck the lake with waves breaking into the boat, but Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and woke him up, shouting Lord, save us, we’re going to drown.

Jesus responded, why you are afraid, you have so little faith.    

Then he got up and rebuked the wind and waves and suddenly all was calm.

 The disciples were amazed. Who is this man, they asked, even the winds and the waves obey him.’ In the aforementioned text, the disciples of Jesus are scares of the boat drowning and them perishing yet it seems that their captain Jesus is sleeping.

 However the truth is that if the disciples had only remembered the words that Jesus spoke to them when he was calling them then they would have been able to speak to against the storm and it would have obeyed them without them feeling afraid.

If the disciples had remembered that Jesus had taught them that with faith they would speak to a mountain and then it would be relocated then they would not have been afraid.

May be your whole life is battling and being battered by a fierce storm whose waves are breaking you down and you afraid thinking that your boat is going to drown.

Fear not because all you have to remember are the powerful words of Jesus that inspired you to follow his direction and calling.

And when you remember those words stand up against your storm and rebuke it. And when you rebuke it peace calm, comfort and safety shall be restored in your marriage, family, relationship, business and even in your careers.

The storm that is battering your boat will not drown your hopes dreams, visions and aspirations in God Almighty
