I love to put down certain extracts of quotes, paragraphs or passages from the books I read. Normally these are the passages that have spoken to me and I just want to share with you.

There is no intention to copy the whole book into the blog but certain extracts. Respective authors are given due recognition in this blog and I encourage you to buy the book to read if you deemed the extracts encourages you.

How to run a fishy business - Rev Melvyn Mak

Luke 5:1-11

How can we become effective Fishers of Men?

1) Overarching calling will define who our Master is
2) Obedient Attitude - Delivers God's Miracles
3) Overwhelming Encounter - Declares Our Message

Luke 5:10b Catch Men, Mark 1, Matt 4 - a word implies Evangelism. Rom 10:13-15

v4,5 Similar passage John 21:1-6
What are these obstacles?
a) Fixed Mindset
b) Fear

v6-9 To do is something that should be driven from inside out

Acts 4:18-20
2 Kings 7v9

Even if you have overwhelming experience, you can still keep within ourselves. Real compassion is more than feeling but just do it. We need to serve direct from our heart.

Success in life is finding a need and meeting it. Matthew 9:37-38
