NUGGETS ON’ DIVINE’ CALLING 7

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.

2 Thessalonians 1:11
With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may bring to fruition your every desire for goodness and your every deed prompted by faith. AMEN

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.
Do you know your gifts and callings or are you finding it difficult to figure out?
Now is a good time to sign up for my Spiritual Growth and Development package, they are half price and one of the topic there is Spiritual & Physical Gifts. In this apckage, you will be able to identify the differences between both and recognize your calling and giftings.

THE HIDDEN REASONS WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO :MOTIVES 6

THE HIDDEN REASONS WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO : MOTIVES 6

Blessings to you today I believe all is well with you and your loved ones. I love the truth that the Holy Bible has answers to every queries of life. The Bible is God’s love letter to us to help us while we are navigating through life as believers living in the world but not of this world; thank God He hasn't left us without giving us the manual that shows us how to go from A to B.

2 Tim 3:16-17 All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.

There are certain places in God’s words that He shows us how to handle    issues relating with on how to do things and why we do things. The following are some of such examples:

  Matthew 6:1-4 Watch out! Don’t do your good deeds publicly, to be admired by others, for you will lose the reward from your Father in heaven.2 When you give to someone in need, don’t do as the hypocrites do—blowing trumpets in the synagogues and streets to call attention to their acts of charity! I tell you the truth, they have received all the reward they will ever get. ³ But when you give to someone in need, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. ⁴ Give your gifts in private, and your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.

  Isaiah 1:11-15, What makes you think I want all your sacrifices?”
    says the Lord.
“I am sick of your burnt offerings of rams
    and the fat of fattened cattle.
I get no pleasure from the blood
    of bulls and lambs and goats.
¹² When you come to worship me,
    who asked you to parade through my courts with all your ceremony?

¹³ Stop bringing me your meaningless gifts;
    the incense of your offerings disgusts me!
As for your celebrations of the new moon and the Sabbath
    and your special days for fasting—
they are all sinful and false.
    I want no more of your pious meetings.
¹⁴ I hate your new moon celebrations and your annual festivals.
    They are a burden to me. I cannot stand them!
¹⁵ When you lift up your hands in prayer, I will not look.
    Though you offer many prayers, I will not listen,
    for your hands are covered with the blood of innocent victims.

 Is 58:3-7 ‘We have fasted before you!’ they say.
    ‘Why aren't you impressed?
We have been very hard on ourselves,
    and you don’t even notice it!’

“I will tell you why!” I respond.
    “It’s because you are fasting to please yourselves.
Even while you fast,
    you keep oppressing your workers.
⁴ What good is fasting
    when you keep on fighting and quarreling?

This kind of fasting
    will never get you anywhere with me.
⁵ You humble yourselves
    by going through the motions of penance,

bowing your heads
    like reeds bending in the wind.
You dress in burlap
    and cover yourselves with ashes.
Is this what you call fasting?
    Do you really think this will please the Lord?

⁶ “No, this is the kind of fasting I want:
Free those who are wrongly imprisoned;
    lighten the burden of those who work for you.
Let the oppressed go free,
    and remove the chains that bind people.
⁷ Share your food with the hungry,
    and give shelter to the homeless.

Give clothes to those who need them,
    and do not hide from relatives who need your help.

 God rebuked the Israelites on how they were offering their sacrifices, fasting and praying not with the right motive of repentance /humility but with hypocrisy and pride. He also mentioned the type of fasting that is acceptable to him and that He is more interested in how we walk in love with one another, share our stuffs with the hungry and the homeless.

 Isaiah 29:13 And so the Lord says,
   “These people say they are mine.

They honor me with their lips,
    but their hearts are far from me.
And their worship of me

    is nothing but man-made rules learned by rote. 

God was not happy for they were not drawing near to God with their whole heart but just with lip service.In

i the whole book of Amos 4, God rebuked the people for their disobedient acts and called them to repentance in Amos 5 :14-15 Do what is good and run from evil
    so that you may live!

Then the Lord God of Heaven’s Armies will be your helper,
    just as you have claimed.
¹⁵ Hate evil and love what is good;
    turn your courts into true halls of justice.
Perhaps even yet the Lord God of Heaven’s Armies.
    will have mercy on the remnant of his people

5. Jesus rebuked the disciples for criticizing the women with the alabaster Jar of perfume .Matt 26:6-13 Meanwhile, Jesus was in Bethany at the home of Simon, a man who had previously had leprosy.⁷ While he was eating, a woman came in with a beautiful alabaster jar of expensive perfume and poured it over his head.

⁸ The disciples were indignant when they saw this. “What a waste!” they said. ⁹ “It could have been sold for a high price and the money given to the poor.”

¹⁰ But Jesus, aware of this, replied, “Why criticize this woman for doing such a good thing to me?¹¹ You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me. ¹² She has poured this perfume on me to prepare my body for burial. ¹³ I tell you the truth, wherever the Good News is preached throughout the world, this woman’s deed will be remembered and discussed.”

 All these examples show us that sometimes what we think matters to God are not those things that matter. God is love and love is God so whenever we are doing whatever we are doing outside of love, we are not showing His love to others. In his love for us all he requires and expects of us is true genuine repentance in our walk with him , walking in love in our motives, intentions and actions in our walk with others  and meeting the needs of the less privileged.

Have a great Weekend and see you all with more nuggets next week.

THE HIDDEN REASONS WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO; MOTIVES 5

 
THE HIDDEN REASONS WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO; MOTIVES 5

       

Blessings everyone, are you aware that God rewards us for all our labor for others? Whatever we do for others and for God, a record is being kept. Even in   in our daily life, we reward one another based on performances in form of paycheck/salary, gifts and several other ways that we use to show our appreciation for either a good deed or a job well done. Same it is with the awesome God we serve.

Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Jeremiah 17:10; I the Lord search the heart and examine the mind, to reward each person according to their conduct, according to what their deeds deserve.

Wherever we find ourselves and whatever positions we occupy God wants us to do his will at all times even when we think no one else is watching us .God is. He expects us to be good bosses at our jobs, good managers to our workers and for workers; we should do our jobs as unto the Lord not as men pleasers or as eye services.

Ephesians 6:5-8; Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. ⁶ Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. ⁷ Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people, ⁸ because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free.

Colossians 3:22-25; Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to curry their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord. ²³ Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, ²⁴ since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. ²⁵ Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for their wrongs, and there is no favoritism.

Revelation 2:19-23 I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first. Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols. I have given her time to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling. So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways. I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds.

When we serve in various capacities of God’s ministry, we should do our best to work for God with the right motives and put in our best because every work we do at the end of time will be tested and we will receive a reward based on the quality of our works. All works done with wrong motives evil or selfish will be burnt up and the reward will be lost though we would not lose our salvation. Therefore it is crucial to check our motives.

1 Corinthians 4:5. Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart. At that time each will receive their praise from God.

1 Corinthians 3:12-15 if anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work.  If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward.  If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames.

May all our good works for the Lord and for others be purified by fire and may we get a good reward at the end of it all in Jesus name. Amen

Have a powerful day and great weekend ahead.

THE HIDDEN REASONS WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO: MOTIVES 4

The Hidden reasons why we do, what we do : Motives 4

Blessings to you all,  here is the continuation on the series” The Hidden reasons why we do what we do. It is important to note  in our dealings with people, that the heart of man is desperately wicked, they will love or hate us for whatever reasons, they may be honest or dishonest with us, it is not our responsibility to judge or crucify them. Our own part is to love them enough by loving ourselves first and moving on with our lives and trusting God to fight our battles for us.

Jeremiah   17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Romans 12:17-21 Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay says the Lord. Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him a drink;
for in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head. “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Our job is not to judge others or others’ motives for doing whatever they are doing. God is the only judge of others: therefore Let God alone be the judge. God will do whatever is right and true by us no matter what we may be going through.

Matt 7:1 Do not judge, or you too will be judged.

 Luke 6:37 do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

God will judge the world in righteousness ACTS 17:31.

In our spiritual walk with God and in our dealings with others, it is good to ask ourselves honest questions on why we are doing whatever we are doing, check our true motives, if they are impure ask for God to help correct the motives so our works, deeds and actions will not be something that will bring judgment upon us instead of our well done praises.

We are rewarded and judged by God accordingly based on our deeds and motives.

1 Kings 8:39 then hear from heaven, your dwelling place. Forgive and act; deal with everyone according to all they do, since you know their hearts (for you alone know every human heart).

Rom 2:1-16 you, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. ² Now we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. ³ So when you, a mere human being, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment? ⁴ Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?⁵ But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed. ⁶ God “will repay each person according to what they have done.”⁷ To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. ⁸ But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. ⁹ There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; ¹⁰ but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. ¹¹ For God does not show favoritism.¹² all who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. ¹³ For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. ¹⁴ (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. ¹⁵ They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.) ¹⁶ This will take place on the day when God judges people’s secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares.

God will judge everybody, plus the secret and hidden things. There is nothing that can be hidden from God though we may hide it from human being like us.

Luke 8:17 For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light.

Romans 12:9-16 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. ¹⁰ Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another; ¹¹ not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; ¹² rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; ¹³ distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality.

¹⁴ Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. ¹⁵ Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. ¹⁶ Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.

Let us strive to walk in honesty, integrity and love with one another and make this world a better place wherever we find ourselves.
