Luke 5:1-10
1 Now it happened that while the crowd was pressing around Him and listening to the word of God, He was standing by the lake of Gennesaret.
2 And He saw two boats lying at the edge of the lake; but the fishermen had gotten out of them and were washing their nets.
3 And He got into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little way from the land. And He sat down and began teaching the people from the boat.
4 When He had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”
5 Simon answered and said, “Master, we worked hard all night and caught nothing, but I will do as You say and let down the nets.”
6 When they had done this, they enclosed a great quantity of fish, and their nets began to break;
7 So they signaled to their partners in the other boat for them to come and help them. And they came and filled both of the boats, so that they began to sink.
8 But when Simon Peter saw that, he fell down at Jesus’ feet, saying, “Go away from me Lord, for I am a sinful man!”
9 For amazement had seized him and all his companions because of the catch of fish which they had taken;
10 And so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not fear, from now on you will be catching men.”
11 When they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed Him.

This passage shows the futility of labour without God's help and favour. If you want to achieve great and sustaining success, you have to add God's favour and presence to legitimate labour.
In the text above, we can see that Peter had tried all that he could to catch fish but all his efforts is nothing. He laboured without success but when Jesus steeped into his boat, he became successful.
Align yourself with God as you work hard and you will see outstanding success. it will take reliance on God and obedience to His Word to take you to the destination you dream about. It will also take sacrifice.
That is to willingly surrender all that you have for the Kingdom's advancement, when you are kingdom minded, God knows how to connect you to your desired promotion and success*.
My dear people, don't be consumed with the passion of making a name and achievements so as to enjoy the list thereof. Peter left all to follow Jesus. We must be ready to let go in all sincerity so that God can trust is the more with greater success.
Thank you for your time.
