Be Faithful To Your Calling by kpakpandoN(m): 7:07am On Dec 24, 2022 |
The Almighty God, our heavenly Father, made each and every one of us for a purpose. It does not matter the circumstances of your birth, God brought you into this world and called you to fulfil a specific purpose. Not everyone is called to be a Pastor, but everyone is called to fulfil a purpose. Ephesians 2:10 says: “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” If you have found that good work for which God formed you, focus on it. What God wants for each of His children is for us to find our place and stay there. The one who was called to be in politics should not decide to become a Pastor and the one called to academics should not decide to go into farming. Everyone has his own assignment in this world and God will reward you, not based on how much work you have done, but if you fulfilled the purpose for which He formed you. lf you have not discovered that good work for which He formed you yet, you need to really pray for Him to reveal it to you. You need to be very clear about it and not make assumptions. For example, you may have the talent to sing, but your purpose may not be to become a musician. The talent could only be a tool to fulfilling your purpose. Joseph was a dreamer and an interpreter of dreams. Had he made assumptions, he would have thought his calling was to interpret peoples dreams. He spoke on his purpose in Genesis 45:7 thus: "And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance". The interpretation of dreams and even talent in administration were just tools to fulfilling His God-given purpose. Thank God he recognized that purpose, he might have missed it by trying to retaliate against his brothers. lf God gives you a natural talent to handle scissors excellently, don’t conclude that you are called to be a fashion designer; barbers also use scissors. Pray and get a clear direction as to what God has called you to do on earth, and be faithful to that calling. Written by Pastor E.A. Adeboye. |

kpakpandoN:If we are to visit the teachings of Jesus Christ, we find that there is only one call and work given by Jesus Christ to all those who belong to Him. 25 When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?”If all are called to do the same exact work by Jesus Christ, what other call is there to do other than the one that Jesus Christ commands which involves living of one's life in continuous submission and obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ. If your faith - submission and obedience- is directed towards your supposed callig and not to God Himself, how much different are you from the many job men and career minded folks in the world? |
