SUMMARY: The passage of The Miraculous Catch in Luke 5 is used as a basis for a message about the importance of evangelism. The speaker believes that God wants the Church to become an evangelistic Church, focused on spreading the message of the Gospel and bringing souls to the knowledge of Jesus Christ. He sees this as a defining moment for the Church, and a key part of its purpose. The current crises facing the world, such as financial problems, natural disasters, and social issues, highlight the need for the Gospel message. The speaker calls on the Church to assume an urgent position in spreading the message of Christ.
The Church needs to urgently announce the Gospel to humanity, as the world needs healing and salvation. We must invite people to take refuge in Jesus Christ and see the Gospel as a medicine for the ills that afflict humanity. God is calling the Church to lend Him our resources and be used as a platform to announce His Gospel. We must commit ourselves to being a truly Evangelistic Church, eating, drinking, and dreaming Evangelism, bringing souls to the knowledge of Jesus in times of crisis and need. We must cry out to the Lord for His anointing to bring down on us, an Evangelistic anointing, to fill the sanctuary and bring in a harvest of souls.

The passage known as The Miraculous Catch - Luke chapter 5 says: "It came to pass that while Jesus was by the lake of Gennesaret, the crowd pressed around him to hear the Word of God. And he saw two boats that were near the shore of the lake, and the fishermen having descended from them washed their nets.
And getting into one of those boats, which belonged to Simon, he begged him to move it a little from land, and sitting down, he taught the crowd from the boat. When he finished speaking, he said to Simon: launch out into the deep and cast your nets to catch a fish. Responding Simon said to him: Master, all night we have been working and we have not caught anything but in Your Word I will cast the net. And having done so, they caught a large number of fish and their net broke.
