Rhapsody of Realities TeeVo Saturday 5 September 2026 WALK ON WATER (Keep Your Eyes on the Word) 👤 Pastor Chris 📖 TO THE BIBLE Matthew 14:29-31 “So He said, ‘Come.’ And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, ‘Lord, save me!’ And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, ‘O you of little faith, why did you doubt?’“ ▶️ LET’S TALK One night, the disciples of Jesus were in a boat, far out at sea, and suddenly, they saw someone walking towards them on the water. Terrified, they thought it was a ghost, but it turned out to be the Master Himself. One of them, Simon Peter, dared to say, “Lord, if it’s you, ask me to come to you on the water.” Interestingly, Jesus didn’t say, “No! Walking on water requires lots of prayerfulness, boy!” Rather, He spoke one word to Peter, “Come!” Peter jumped out of the boat and began walking on the water to Jesus. But something happened next that changed the course of the story. Peter looked at the raging winds, and immediately, he began to sink. The question is: What was the connection between fear and the water? Why did the water—which, up until that time, had held him up— suddenly give way beneath his feet? Notice that as the Master quickly reached out to save Peter, He didn’t say, “Oh Peter, you stepped on the wrong spot;” instead, He asked him, “Why did you doubt?” It was doubt that deactivated the power of the word “Come,” which Jesus had spoken to him. If Peter hadn’t doubted, the water would have held him up as perfectly as it did Jesus. Just like Peter, many young people often start strong in faith but get distracted by pressure, fear, or opinions. That shouldn’t be you. Never allow doubt to creep into your heart. Doubt breeds fear, and fear is of the devil. Doubt has robbed many of the opportunity to function at the level God has called them into. Build absolute confidence in the Word of God, for it never fails. All that Peter and the other disciples needed was the Word “Come,” spoken by the Master, and they all could have walked and danced on that water. Learn to keep your attention fully on what the Word of God says, and you’ll never be overwhelmed by the circumstances of life. When group chats are buzzing with panic before a test, when everyone says, “This is impossible,” or when your own thoughts try to talk you out of believing big, choose to focus on what God has said instead. The same situations that challenge others will be your platform for victories. God’s Word is trustworthy and dependable; so believe it with all your heart and refuse to doubt. 🎯 Go Deeper Mark 11:23; Mark 9:23 🔊 Speak My faith in God and His eternal Word is unshakable!
