DIVINE CALL
Memorise: Take my yoke upon
you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest
unto your souls. Matthew 11:29
A call is an invitation to something higher than an
individual and there are two parties involved in it; these are the caller and
the called. A classic example of the divine call is what we find in Matthew
11:28-29. Here God is the caller and the called is all men. This is a call unto
salvation; it is universal in scope. It hinges on John 3:16. it is a call from
the heart of God, out of deep concern for men to not self-destruct. He calls
out to man, telling them that He has provided a means of escape from the wrath
to come. It is popularly said: to be forewarned is to be forearmed. Only the
wise would get prepared when warned ahead of danger. It is amazing how some who
are considered to be wise and intelligent in this world by their level of
education prove to be foolish. When it comes to the divine warning on the
destruction of man, unless he receives the divine call to salvation.
Congratulations to these who have received the divine
call to salvation, for they are the children of the Most High God. They are in
favour with the ultimate decider of the fate of men. They are now heirs of God
and joint heirs with the Lord Jesus Christ. We all must understand that within
the larger group of those that have received the universal basic call to
salvation are some who are called for some specific purpose. Such includes
those called to service as Pastors, Apostles, Evangelists, Prophets and
Missionaries to specific locations, etc. Although you may not be so called, you
should not be ignorant of the fact that some other divine calls are general to
us all.
Every one of us is called to pray (1 Thessalonians
5:17). The business of prayer is not to be left to a group of prayer warriors.
Every one of us is called to watch (Matthew 24:42). You are called as a child
of God to be on your toes and not to be careless. Not heeding this call can be
disastrous. This will not be your experience in Jesus’ Name. also every one of
us is called to fast (Matthew 9:14-15). There is no provision in the word of
God for prayer and fast contracting . besides, we are all called to be of helps
to our leaders, particularly in prayers (1 Thessalonians 5:25, 2 Corinthians
10:11). Every one of us is called to win souls (Mark 16:15). Note that those
who will survive in the time of trouble are souls winners. We all are called to
be generous (Luke 6:38). Finally, every one of is called to holiness (1
Thessalonians 4:7).
Action point
Thank God for the salvation
of your soul. If you are not yet saved. Kneel down now and call upon the Lord
as a sinner for salvation.
