How To Unlock God's Call On Your Life by neduboy17: 10:07am On Apr 09, 2017 |
God has an undeniable calling on your life. That is true on the days when you feel like your life has deep significance and is counting for eternity, and it is equally true on the days when you feel like you never accomplish anything more significant than tackling a pile of dirty laundry. Paul says in Ephesians 4:1: “As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.” The calling he speaks of was not exclusive to the church at Ephesus – you and I are included that “you”. You HAVE received a calling – strong and sure – from the Lord! A calling from God does not necessarily mean you will become a full-time minister or be sent to Africa to do missions work. A calling from God DOES mean that the sum total of who you are – your past, present, and even your future, your experiences, your failures, your pain, your hopes and dreams – has vast value in His Kingdom. Nothing is wasted. A calling from God also means that He has lovingly crafted plans specifically for you to accomplish great things in His kingdom, and to fully embrace your life and daily live for His glory. Right now, no matter what your circumstances might say to the contrary. HOW CAN WE UNLOCK THAT CALL? Paul’s answer may surprise you like it did me! He doesn’t send us to a seminar, or ask us to make a list of all our top qualities that we can offer to God. Instead, Paul urges us to unlock the call by living in a manner that is worthy of it: 1. To live UP to our potential in Christ we must first lay DOWN our rights – “Be completely humble and gentle…(Eph 4:2)” 2. Walk out life with those around us in love and patience – “Be patient, bearing with one another in love (Eph 4:2)” 3. Be peacemakers and highly value unity in the Body of Christ – “Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.” (Eph. 4:3) The key to unlocking God’s calling on our lives is to turn from our pride and selfishness and turn to the humble, patient, Servant King, and thus become like Him. He also unlocked God’s call on His life by laying down His rights, walking out life with those around Him in love and patience, and valuing unity among God’s people. In that place of submission, and only in that place, we are living lives worthy of our calling. n that place of humility and valuing others above ourselves, we are positioned for God to use us and expand the calling. And then look out – there’s not telling what God has in store! Whatever it is, it will be specifically tailored to your incredible uniqueness, and lovingly crafted with your gifts and talents in mind. In short, it will be something only God can accomplish. Will you join me? “Father, I pray today that by your grace you would lead each one of us into the fullness of your call on our lives. Help us to walk away from our pride and selfishness, and to embrace humility, patience, loving kindness, and peace. Cause us to live lives worthy of your calling, and may your specific call on each our of lives be completely, beautifully, and joyfully fulfilled. For Your glory, amen.” With faith, hope, and love.

next time anyone says there is no God, don't try to explain cause they will just ask you more silly questions and mock you. they condemned and ask question they don't even have answer to. you can expose there foolishness by asking them in the beginning what happened? and sit back and watch how foolish they will respond some will just disappear totally. remember the fool had said in his heart there is no God, you can only expose the foolishness by letting him tell us what happened in the beginning 2 Likes |

Try out self-realization, and emancipations from; mental slavery, immortality, parochialness, conceit and poverty automatically you'll witness God in you, for you and with you - unlocking of God's call. |

walls01:The fool said in his "heart".. Lol This shows the ignorance of the primitive desert dwellers that wrote the bible. They thought the heart is the center of cognition. It's just a bloody pump. No wonder they primitive ignorant people that conjure up the bible never knew there is an organ encased in the skull - the human brain - arguably the most sophisticated thing in the universe. Nowhere in the bible the human brain was mentioned. 1 Like 1 Share |

Bandeco: this even show how ignorant you are. the heart in the Bible means mind, where the thoughts of man originate you the modern man that is wise and knows about the brain" tell us what happened in the beginning |
Re: How To Unlock God's Call On Your Life by walls01: 1:23pm On Apr 09, 2017 |
Bandeco: this shows the extent of your comprehension. the heart in the Bible means mind, it was translated to mean heart. you still avoided my argument. you the modern man that knows about the brain tell us what happened in the beginning |
