THE SEED
“Then Jesus said to them, ‘Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.’” — Mark 1:17 (NKJV)
When Jesus called Simon and Andrew, He invited them into a life of purpose. They were fishermen by trade, but Jesus had something greater in mind—He called them to be “fishers of men.” This call extends to us today. Jesus is still calling people to follow Him, not just to believe, but to become active participants in His mission. As we walk with Him, He transforms us, equips us, and uses us to bring others into His Kingdom. Answering the call to be a fisher of men requires surrendering. We must be willing to leave behind anything that holds us back from fully following Christ. But in doing so, we gain something far greater—purpose, impact, and eternal reward.
Will you answer His call today?
BIBLE READING: Mark 1:16–20
PRAYER: Lord, I surrender to Your call. Make me a fisher of men. Use my life to draw others to You, and let me be a vessel of Your grace and truth.
Amen.
