4:43 Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Well, I'm glad that you've made it and the Lord has brought us together. Come with us back to Luke chapter 5. Luke chapter 5 verse 2. Then we'll skip down through verses 4 through 6. Luke chapter 5 verse 2, 4 through 6. Just a quick recap. Last week the sermon title was Something's Fishy. Fishy. Y'all remember that? Y'all remember that in the balcony? Something's what? Fishy. and we talked about how Peter was fishing all night without Jesus, but, you know, it was okay that he was doing that because he was a skilled, proficient fisherman. He knew how to do it. And the main point we walked away with last week is you're good by yourself, but you're, come on, better when you have Jesus. Anybody remember? Who was here last week? Let me start there. Yeah, so you're good by yourself, but you're better with Jesus.
5:37 There's a difference in pre-Jesus fishing and post-Jesus fishing. And that we need to make sure that we include God and Christ and all that we do. Luke chapter 5 this week, verse 2, verses 4 through 6. Verse 2 says this. Verse 2 says this. And he saw, Jesus saw two ships standing by the lake, but the fishermen were gone out of them and they were washing their what? Net. Skip down to verse 4. now when he had left speaking he said unto simon lunch out into the deep and let down your what for a great draw a great catch and simon answered him saying hey let me keep you 100 with you jesus i've been out here all night i'm tired doc i'm tired dog and i ain't i didn't catch anything last night nevertheless at your word i will let down my what my net then verse six says and when they had done this they caught a great multitude of fishes only in the king james version is it okay to say fishes. They caught a great multitude of what fishes and their what break? Their net break.
6:40 Today we're talking under the series Lord bless my business. The title today is network. Network. Everybody knows that if you're going to be a successful in business and anything you're doing in your life you have to do somewhat networking. You don't do it by yourself. I think Bishop Jake's teaches that that relationships are the currency of the kingdom so you've got to be doing some networking you have to make sure you have some business cards and you're and you're standing in the right rooms and you're talking with the people who can help you get where you're trying to go but today we want to kind of shift and do a play on that word not just networking uh getting to know people and passing out your business cards and pushing your business and being in the right rooms but literally god has some net work for all of us to do if you want god to bless what you're doing in this season you got to put your work in yeah yeah you you just can't pray about it if i was on the streets i would say you had to be about it too you you got to make sure you add in some sweat equity in this thing and the reason why their nets broke was not just because jesus spoke a word but it was also because they were doing some network too you got it yeah Yeah.
