Contentment can also help you prioritize important things in life. It will also help you do be a good giver and responsible steward. Learn to be contented with everything that you have. It is really okay to ask something for the Lord. But first, He will let you practice contentment in everything.

How to be a fisher of men? Believe in Him, accept Him as your personal Lord and Savior. Also, walk the same path of life that He walk. Have a character like Jesus so that people will also see Him in you as you minister to them.

But, if you are surrounded with many counselors, plans will be established and succeed. There is nothing wrong in asking questions. If there is no counsel, purposes are frustrated. But with many counselors, they are indeed accomplished.
