Calling and Clarity

1 Samuel 3:5 says, "And he ran unto Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he went and lay down."

We should not hastily act on what we think is God's calling without seeking clarity and details from Him. God does not require us to seek validation from others before we pursue His calling. Sometimes, people rush into ministry without fully understanding what God wants, leading to incomplete or misguided messages that can harm rather than bless the church. When we ask God for something or desire His intervention in our lives, He often places the resources or provisions in the custody of certain people for us to access. But it's crucial to be patient and allow God to guide us to the right individuals who hold what He has given to us. This prevents us from seeking help from the wrong sources and facing disappointment in the end. 

Every step we take in faith to receive God's blessings should be guided by the Holy Spirit. Therefore, it's important not to venture to places where God isn't leading us, as doing so may result in regret.
If we fail to patiently wait for God's full guidance, His glory will not be revealed in our work, no matter how hard we pray or work. Impatience can hinder our ability to deeply connect with God and experience His grace and anointing in our lives and ministries. We should strive to eliminate impatience from our lives if we want to see God's glory manifested in our work.

Merely praying without heeding God's direction is akin to being blessed yet ignorant of how to access those blessings. Even after praying, we should patiently seek God's guidance, aligning ourselves with His will for our lives. Although God is present in our lives, we need divine wisdom to understand how to connect with Him and access the resources He has provided for us. Ignorance in effectively relating with God and receiving His help can make it seem as if His presence is missing in our lives.

Power of Persistence

Image
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...
