John 12:32 "And if I, be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me."
Down your nets for a draught. A fishers of men. Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to catch fish and you him for a lifetime.
Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a drought. And Simon answering, said to him, Master we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing. Nevertheless, at thy word I will let down the net.
Fishing or Phishing? Are we a cat-fish or Catch fish? Our answer will depend to the clarity of hearing. These are 2 combination of sound. If we are complete in Christ, He said, I will make you fishers of men (catch men). But If we have poor hearing, we will go pishing, toiled all night and caught nothing because we are a cat fish (virus) or processing Christian, a believer who omitted Matt 28. 19&20. It is the sin of doing nothing (lazy) not spreading the Gospel, toiling the whole night in the internet addicted to porno-cideo & caught nothing but garbage in and garbage out.
I. Introduction. In these last days, our knowledge and faith were shaken with powerful destruction around. The modern church become powerless to confront this present crisis because of poor quality of Christian Living. In addition to our poor quality of living, is toiling all night. Phishing with our internet working with the zombie computer(social media)
Souls are dying and no one cares. When the church is not consumed with the Holy Ghost and fire, men are being consumed with hell's unquenchable fires because of negligence (or sin of doing nothing) here observe:
A. Two (2) components of the Great Commission (Matt 28:19-20)
1. Go and make disciples (v-19). Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
2. Go unto perfection (v20)
A. Endurance test - Heb 6:1 'therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God.
B. Five fold Ministry. (eph 4:11-13)
B. What is the Great omission? This is the internet version of "let's go phishing". Toiling the whole night and caught nothing! Apostolic Father believers are the greatest nations on earth. In Matthew 16:15, even the gates of hell shall not prevail. But they are powerless to confront the present crisis, souls are dying, due to negligence.

2. Express a true worship and adoration in the Beauty of God's holiness (v4) "launch out into the deep (submerge unto the Holy Spirit) and let down your nets for a drought. Slain on the floor to a prostrate position and received a bountiful blessing, overflowing with the baptism of the Holy Spirit and fire. (John 4:24)
A. In Spirit. A worship with life alive, with freedom in the spirit. It's not formalistic, ritualistic & bound by programs or demonstration of man's wisdom. (Entertaining people not God)
B. In truth - A worship according to the word of God. Why do we have to shout, shaking, dancing, running?
b-1) yes, because there is sincerity and not in hypocrisy. Who wants to shakes body in the public?
b-2) yes, because we don't care what people think or say. We might be crazy but it is more craziness to jump, shout & cry to the Beatles.

3. Experience a total exchange. (v5) "We have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing. Nevertheless at thy word, I will let down the net". People for the sake of getting a living forget to live. Life cycle.
4. Pay the price of deeper foundation (v6) and when they had this done, they catch a great multitude of fishes, and their net brake. before God uses as mightily in the services to His throne, like Paul, he pay the price! For he is a chosen vessel. For K will shew him how great things must suffer for my name's sake.
5. Refill yourself with the Holy Ghost and fire. (v7) And they came and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink. Slain and drunk or overflowing of the Holy Ghost, evidence as tongues of fire.
6. Die daily. (v8) he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, depart from me, For I am sinful man, O Lord
7. People were amazed on God's grace (v9) for he was astonished and all that were with him at the draught of the fishes which they had taken. For God loaded us his benefits daily. Your grace is sufficient with me.
8. Winning souls. (v10) fear not, from henceforth thou shalt catch men"
A) Rom 10:15, " and how shall they preach, except they be sent. As it is written, how beautiful are the feet of them, that preach the gospel of peace and bring glad tidings of good things!
B) Prov. 11:30, "The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he that winneth souls is wise"
9) Endeavor to grow strong in the word, enrichment of the word. (V11). Grow in the knowledge to complete in Christ. Taste and see that the Lord is good. Give me Jesus or else I die. For Jesus both the Bread or Life and the River of living water.
TO GOD BE THE GLORY!🙏🏻
