There
was a certain man in the city who is a renowned fishermen. He grew up to own
his own business. His business was growing so well that he had numerous
workers. His company was simply acclaimed the best when it comes to supply of
water fishes, tropical marine fishes and aquatic plants in the country. His employees
calls him “the CEO” because he maintained a wholesome relationship with them. He
does this by going fishing with them ones in a while in order to share his
wealth of experience with them. Anytime he goes with his employees, it’s always
a big catch. The fishes even knows and exclaim “the CEO is around”.
Suddenly,
there was a serious economic crisis in the country and businesses were
affected. The CEO’s company wasn’t left out coupled with the activities of oil
companies around that had polluted the waters, aquatic lives was affected. It became
worrisome, the only place to go fishing then is the centre city but isn’t just
a small body of water. This means the CEO will have to go with them being a
major adventure. Orders have been placed, there is a need to meet up demand of
customers and also pay workers’ salaries. The employees would have left but
because of the relationship they had with the CEO they stayed.
This
meant that the hunt is the only option they had left to salvage the problem at
hand. The CEO then called a general meeting to let them know when and how to go
about it. “We shall go at night because there is a popular preacher who goes
around town and each time multitude follow him, he may likely be around the
lake in the morning for a program, and this might be a form of distraction. Also
it’s the best time of the day to have the greatest catch”. That was the
strategy for a big catch that will cover all demands of their clients and bring
them back to compete favorably with other businesses.
As
if someone had intimated the fishes on the coming of “the CEO” alongside with
the boys. The fishes all went hiding. However, the CEO didn’t give up, he and
his team kept a night vigil at the sea shore. Despite the calmness of the
night, the absence of oil spillage they got not even a baby fish. The fishes didn’t
respect the CEO’s years of experience. This means he can’t meet up with all the
supplies they need to make, and payment of salaries. He is at the verge of
losing all.
At this point I think something may be wrong with the CEO. Perhaps there is a curse at work or God has chosen to deal with him for a sin he had committed. Or what do you think?
Just
as the CEO instructed his boys to begin clearing all the fishing instruments
and the boats for them to leave, there was a shout from the rear, what could
that be? The preacher is around town and vast multitude have come to hear from
him. It was a surprise when the preacher went straight to the CEO to ask for
his boat so that he could sit in the boat and speak to the crowd. The CEO knew
him, he is always on air every Sunday on Trinity Broadcast Network (TBN), and
so he obliged him.
Immediately
the preacher had finished his business, he the motioned to the CEO to go now to
a certain part, LAUNCH INTO THE DEEP and just right there he will catch a lot
of fishes. This is just the same spot the CEO and his team had ventured all
through the night and caught nothing. Despite his frustration, he listened to
the preacher (he sure saw all the miracles the preacher had performed on TBN),
they gave it a shot and here was a net breaking catch.

A timely one. God bless you sir. Weeping may endure for a night, but Joy comes in the morning. As we surrender our lives (boat) to Jesus, we are sure of a breakthrough.
