NUGGETS ON’ DIVINE’ CALLING 7

New week blessings everyone, thanks to all those that have been tuning in to listen to my Radio Talk show” Heart to love with Fola” and  thanks to those that have shared  their  testimonies of our the show has been a blessing to  them. I am deeply honored and I give all the Glory to God for what He is doing and has started to do in all our lives , He that began the  good work will complete it all in our lives in Jesus name. Amen .Now to the conclusion on my series on Divine calling:

In the course of discovering our calling, we may have to make certain decisions to accommodate our discovery. This could be either stopping our secular job, retaining our secular job but now with God and Godly focus in it, retiring from our secular job or making other significant changes The Holy Spirit may direct and lead us to take in accomplishing and fulfilling our discoveries.

The point to note here is once our motives and our heart conditions once they are right and pure, we would not feel any guilt for taking whatever decision we took just so we can fulfill our calling properly. Once we are about doing God’s business for kingdom sake, God will elevate us whether we like it or not. So whether it is fame, promotion, more money or more opportunities that comes along our way as a result of our obedience to the call, we should not resist the blessing or feel in anyway guilty. Remember our God is God of increase and He always rewards our obedience to Him with increase.

“These are some  practical examples whereby people changed their vocation, course of direction after discovering their calling. 1. A very successful rhythm and blues singer after getting saved   discovered her assignment, stopped   playing and dancing in the club and then changed to singing Gospel music. 2. A medical doctor decides to quit medicine and go into full time ministry after discovering his calling in God to be a preacher of the Gospel.3. A woman   that lost her only child   right after having her birth adopts a baby, and then adopts another one after discovering her calling several years later; she quits her 9-5 job and start running her own foster care agency business. 4. A movie star that is successful and doing well in Hollywood ,after discover his calling ; he starts using his gift, talents and abilities to reach out to the lost in the film and sex industry in an evangelistic ,comical  way.5. A woman that was abused as a teen who later discovered in life that she’s called to  minister to abused people then set up a resource and help ministry to help them regain their self-love, self-forgiveness and promote their well-being”.

For those that are called to ministry, the following things are ways to recognize that you are being called to minister to God’s people .1. You always have a deep passion to reach out to the lost and the unsaved.2. Whatever angers God angers you.3.Whoever rebels against God angers you.3. You are willing to go the extra mile and do the unusual in faith, even when it activates the devil.4.You really want to know more about God the Father, Son and The Holy Spirit. God’s presence inspires you.5. You are willing to learn from other mentors, Men and Women of God and the Holy Spirit. You want to read more about the things of God and you are willing to invest your time in all these activities.6. You just want to serve in any area of capacity that you see the need. (Servant heart).7. The one thing that really that satisfies and gives you joy is preaching or teaching The Gospel.

 2Peter1:3
[Confirming One’s Calling and Election] His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.

2 Peter 1:10
Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble,

Hebrews 3:1

wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus.

Whatever we do, once our eyes are fixed on Jesus, we will not miss out on anything in our calling.

Colossians 1:9-13[Jesus Greater Than Moses] Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest.

Ephesians 4:4 there is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling.

Ephesians 1:18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints.

1 Corinthians 1:26 for ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.

1 Corinthians 7:20
Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.

Eph4:1
[Unity and Maturity in the Body of Christ] as a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.

Philippians 3:14
I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.

Psalms 37:23 The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand. I hope all these nuggets have blessed anyone out there wondering about his calling/assignment. Yes, God has a calling and assignment for everybody but we all have to individually make time and effort to discover these callings. These are just foundation basics on divine calling. For those that have not yet discovered their calling, Temitope  Altarof Worship on Facebook; A dynamic Woman of God is presently organizing a continuous,  forum with extensive courses running on Discovering your calling on Facebook. Check her forum out and be mightily blessed. She was live on my show on May 3.

NUGGETS ON’ DIVINE’ CALLING 6

Today am continuing on the series on “Divine Calling.” This is a dear topic to my heart because until we find out and begin fulfilling our calling in life, everything else we do is irrelevant.

 Our   divine calling may sometimes be linked with our secular vocation, our skills, knowledge, abilities, gifts and talents .These are all what God uses in training us before we launch into our spiritual calling. Our secular jobs are the training grounds for our spiritual calling. It is therefore important to take our secular job seriously with diligence, commitment and faithfulness. Often times in The Bible God trains and uses people in their secular job before promoting them to their divine calling.  These are examples of some people in their other jobs before they were called by God; Such as Abraham was an idol worshipper before God called him out to be a worshipper of God, David and Moses were shepherding sheep before they became Shepherds to God’s Great people. Joseph was an expert in interpreting dreams before he got his promotion to the palace, from pit to prison then palace. Deborah was a prophetess, wife and a judge in Israel.

Other times  God also  uses people with flaws, so don’t think because you have some flaws then God cannot use you.That’s not true at all, some examples  of such are Noah, who  was a drunk but God still used him, Rahab was a harlot, Moses stammered,  Jacob was a trickster, Gideon came from the weakest tribe and he was the least in his family but God still called and used him as judge and  he defeated the Midianite, Simon Peter denied Jesus three times but he ended up being used by God with miracles ,signs and wonders . Apostle Paul  was formerly  Saul that  used to kill and persecute Christians. All these shows us that God can call and use anybody he desires to use regardless of their inadequacies in the flesh/physical. Once these men and women discovered their calling, they went about doing it.

The following are other features of the divine calling; it is unique for individuals, cannot be achievable without depending on God and His Grace. In our own strength and ability, we cannot get into our calling, we need God. God calls whosoever he wants, we are never qualified before he calls us, his calling qualifies us .He chooses whoever he wishes to choose. That’s why He is God and not man.  Attaining our calling is possible as long as one is coachable and teachable to God the Father, Son and The Holy Spirit and our spiritual mentors that He brings along our path. We need to be submitted to their leadership/mentorship and be accountable   to them. Calling demands from us faithful services to mentees, diligence to all the Spirit led appointments He brings along our ways, and faithful discharge of duties to all that God has assigned us to do in our walk with him, stewardship to other great men and women of God and others. It requires lots of personal discipline and integrity in our individual   lives and in our homes/job/business  and constant fellowship with the Holy Spirit so we can discern the moments, seasons and times of our lives as well as the people he will be bringing across our paths during these cycles; They are not a mistake ,co incident or accident meeting, they are part of the paths we have to faithfully cross with love, endurance and patience to help us in discovering and in fulfilling  our calling.

It is therefore necessary to get rid of the flesh in our love walk and inter personal relationship and dealings with people, so that we will not lose out on friendship with our God assigned helpers of destiny. It will require us moving out of our comfort zones and this may hurt our emotions and flesh from time to time. We just need to die to self and the flesh daily so that we can hear clearly from God and be able to enjoy the journey rather than enduring it. Creating an atmosphere of Worship and praise invites and invokes    the interruptions of the promptings of the Holy Spirit into our daily activities. God can also speak to us about our calling/assignment   during such moments. He leads guides and directs us on what to do next. 

Remember whatever we subject ourselves to eventually master us, so if we subject ourselves to being led by the Spirit,  the Holy Spirit become our master  and same way if , we subject ourselves to being led by our flesh , the devil becomes our master.

 Calling requires our obedience to God and every time we obey, God guarantees and commands increase to come into our lives. God always reward our obedient act with increase in our level of wisdom, finances and relationships. The same way disobedience is costly and it attracts loss and decrease. Therefore  it is always good to be quick to repent of the works of the flesh and to  not let our heart be hardened to the voice of the Spirit, if not one would not be able to receive spiritual instructions because our spiritual antennae’s have been clogged due to too much sins/works of the flesh.
