My disciple Peter was far from perfect. However, he learned the importance of diligence. He was a diligent fisherman and was willing to fish all night if that was what it took to catch a net full of fish.
Peter did not become a diligent, fruitful fisher of men, however, until he received the power of My Spirit at Pentecost. When he received the baptism of My Spirit, he was empowered to deliver My good news to multitudes. 3,000 souls were saved by his message just after he received the anointing of My Spirit.
Peter exhorted all of us to be diligent to add to our faith virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, kindness and love to our faith. If Peter became diligent, you can also. My Spirit will empower you to add these character qualities of My nature to your faith.
ACTS 2:41; 2 PETER 1:5-7
