WHAT DID GOD CALL YOU TO DO?

Rom 1:1: "Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,"


Paul was called by Jesus Christ to become an apostle. What is it that Jesus has called you to be or in what area He has called you to function either in the church or in the world? No man follows Jesus Christ wholeheartedly that will not find His direction for their life. In your following Jesus day by day, are you hearing Him speaking personally to you? Until you develop a hearing ear or hearing heart through fellowship with Jesus, you wouldn't be able to arrive at the knowledge of what He has created and saved you for. When Ananias came to Paul after his encounter with Jesus in Acts 22:12-15, he told Paul that God had chosen him to know his will and to see Jesus the Righteous One and hear him speak. You will hear Jesus speaking to you day by day to your heart as you read the scriptures unless you are handling your fellowship with Him as a mere religious exercise with no commitment of the heart. We are all servants of Jesus Christ but called into specific offices or given specific assignments to fulfill. We are not called to do every work that we find in the kingdom of God but are given definite assignments to run for God. It is on the account of what God has called us to do that God will work with us and on this account also that He will access our stewardship in His kingdom after this world. Every believer who is faithfully following Jesus Christ will gracefully discover their placement in His kingdom. 


The potential that Jesus is showing you always in His words and stirring faith inside you that you can accomplish what you are seeing is the work He has given you the grace to fulfill. Every vision or purpose of God given to a man to fulfill is tied to the grace of God that is at work in his life. If God has given you grace to do any work that will glorify Him that is what God wants you to do. Without the supply of the grace of God, no visions of God will be fulfilled in the world. That is the reason why those who carry visions of God in their hearts to accomplish should pray regularly for the supply of the grace of God more and more to fully fulfill what God has given them to do. The grace of God given to a man will always quicken and strengthen the vision of God in his heart and drive him always to accomplish it. There is an unlimited grace given to us in Christ to do any work that God has called us to do. The working of the grace of God in the life of a man makes it possible for him to always receive revelations from God, to be inspired by God, and to manifest the power of God in what God has called to do continuously without tiring. The grace of God given to you is sitting and is settled permanently in your heart, and will be alive in you continually. That is the reason why those whom God has given grace to serve Him don't struggle in the area of ministry that God has called them to function. The grace of God in them makes the power of God flow out from them unhindered. The grace of God that is working in your life seeks to make you an institution to be reckoned with or to be patronized always if you can create the room for it to grow daily through fellowship with God.

Power of Persistence

Power of Persistence  And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them. Judges 8:4 Persistence is essential for pursuing a significant purpose and achieving a vision that seems beyond our strength. Despite their exhaustion, Gideon and his soldiers continued their pursuit of their enemies, demonstrating the power of a clear and compelling goal to inspire perseverance in fulfilling a dream. Persistence allows us to remain consistent and steadfast in our pursuits. Without a great vision, we may struggle to rise from complacency and actively seek God with the dedication needed for constant prayer, which builds a strong spirit, deepens our faith, enhances our understanding of the Word of God, and helps us grow in alignment with our vision.  God does not use casual seekers for the advancement of His kingdom; He relies on those who are consistent and committed. Persistence in prayer and faith is key to receiving an...

You are worthy O Lord..

You are worthy O Lord.. The twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, "You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, honour, and power; for You have created all things, and for Your pleasure, they are and were created." — Revelation 4:10-11 Even with the privilege of sitting around God's throne, these elders demonstrate a deep sense of humility before Him. When the living creatures give glory, honour, and thanks to God, the elders do not remain seated, proud of their crowns. Instead, they rise from their seats and fall down before God. In worship, they lay their crowns at His feet, proclaiming that He alone is worthy of glory, honour, and power. The crowned elders understand that there is only one King, and that King is God, deserving of all glory despite the honour they have been given. Like these elders, we must not allow the privileges, gifts, bles...

The Word became Answer

Image
The Word became Answer RSV, John 1:14: "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father." The Word, or Logos, became human as God's response to our need for salvation, addressing all our spiritual needs and the limitations we face as humans. The written word, the scriptures, is also provided by God to meet our needs. However, many struggle to find answers to their challenges in the scriptures due to their lack of understanding of them. But those who genuinely seek truth from the scriptures and are willing to obey God's guidance will find that the scriptures are revealed to them, providing a word from God. Casual reading of the scriptures will not yield meaningful benefits. Our comprehension of the scriptures plays a significant role in how we apply them and the guidance we receive. Therefore, we must not only read the scriptures but also study them carefully to uncove...
