AM I CALLED FOR THIS?

Post date: Sep 23, 2015 1:41:04 AM

Let this be very clear to you that irrespective of your name, color, situation, language, current location and profession, you have been predestined and will never miss the mark of God for your life as you keep Him in the forefront of all that you will ever do and currently doing for a living. God will never allow you to remain in any form of profession, mistake, failure, or shame indefinitely, He will bring your change and will place you where He had predestined for you as He did with Jeremiah “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you and approved of you as My chosen instrument, and before you were born I consecrated you to Myself as My own; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” Jeremiah 1:5. This conversation with God started when Jeremiah never in any way considered being an instrument to God in that direction. When the time comes for God to give you a change of profession, God will definitely give you one, continue in your present activities until the day, the date, the time and the place that God will give you the change as He also gave to Peter, Matthew, Paul and many others in their lifetime.  

The scripture is quite clear in saying ‘and those God predestined, God also called’ that is you; as God had predestined you according to His love, mercies, divine plans, purpose and will, He also called you in that same line and thoughts to perform that which you had been predestined for in life and you will definitely excel in those things. You were predestined to produce good results and you are also called to produce even better results because you had been predestined for that. As it is true in the scriptures that God had predestined you for something definite and specific in life, it is equally true that He had called you for something specific and special. As God did not predestine you to be a copycat or live to emulate others, He has not called you to emulate others or sit and watch others. He had called you to be who He had said and accomplish what He had willed for you in this very life.

The big question on the lips and in the heart of many people around the world today and mostly with those who are saved and are currently experiencing problems in their chosen professions, in the desires, marriages, offices and communities is if they were called to have such things in their lives. It is good to know that experiencing any form of failure in life and in your profession does not in any way translated to mean you were not called into that profession and field of labor. The call of God is not dependent on one’s certification, successes or failures. Certification is a good thing to have and acceptable but that does not mean you were called into that; failure does not mean you were not called.

“Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom; but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in His presence. But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God and righteousness and sanctification and redemption.” 1 Corinthians 1:20-29. For prayers, Click here
