DIVINE CALL

One of the greatest things that can happen to anybody is to be called by God. Your salvation from sin is a call to save sinners. Those He called were not elected or voted for yet He called them. The Bible says in the book of Romans 8:30 moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. It is a great privilege to be called by God and a greater privilege to be ordained by Him.

And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would; and they came unto him. And he ordained twelve that they should be with him… Mark 3:13-14

After He called to Himself as many as He would, He only ordained 12. That He chose you at all is enough reason to remain humble. You are not better than those He did not choose. Who are those He chooses? 1 Corinthians 1:26-29 says He chooses the foolish and weak. For some reason, He hardly chooses the strong and wise. Thank God He chose you from the world of sin!

Why did God choose you? He chose you so that you can become a vessel of honour in His hands. You can be assured that God sustains those He calls. 1 Thessalonians 5:24 says:

Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.

In Exodus 3:11-12, when Moses was told to go and bring out the children of Israel from Egypt, he was afraid but God assured him of His presence. Has God called you? He will sustain you. Do not fear the assignment He has given to you it may look quite enormous like the one given to Moses. It may also be full of dangers and difficulties; but as long as you are remain in Him, His grace is sufficient for you, He will be there to see you through. Psalm 103:14.

Prayer: Ask God for grace not to fail Him over the assignment He gave.
