God is Calling
Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me. Isaiah 6:8
I couldn’t sleep; my conscience would not let me. God had called me to do something and I hadn’t answered, and I was miserable in my disobedience. I thought it was enough that I had given my life to him, now I could sit back and live my life knowing that my future was secure but God persisted in this call. I made excuses and procrastinated but this call from God resounded in my conscience. And so one night, lying in bed unable to sleep I knew that I could no longer run from God; there was no escape from him. I got up and wrote the first Christian Perspective letter titled: Keeping our aspirations in Christian Perspective.
It has been over a year and now I know that God persisted in this call because of his immense love for me. He could have chosen somebody else, but he chose me. He gave me all of the tools necessary to write this blog. He imparted me with knowledge and revelations, unveiling secret mysteries of what he will do in our generation.
While I was selfishly occupied solely with my own place in eternity God wanted me to look outwardly and reach out to his people. He wanted me to feast on his word and derive from his doctrine all of the teachings and lessons which I would share with the world. In 1st Timothy 5:16 he said to me: Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
God was referring to me and everyone that would hear these words which he placed in my heart.
And now I know that he called me because he loved me. He chose me because he wanted to bless me and use me as a blessing to the world. My friend, today God is calling you.
God is calling you
There is a call that is coming from heaven. It sounds from every heart that is broken. There is a call from regions stricken by famine and diseases. God is calling you from the countenance of your friends who do not know him. God is calling you from the cries of children suffering in this world, the shivers of the homeless, the despair of the hopeless, God is calling you to stand up and receive the blessing of standing for him in this generation.
My friends, I believe that we exist at a special time in history. The sort of time that the prophet Isaiah existed in when he “Heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, here am I send me. And he said, Go and tell this people, hear ye indeed but understand not, and see ye indeed, but perceive not. Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes, lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed. Isaiah 6:8-10
Isaiah said: Here I am Lord, send me.
My friend, I have a question: God is calling you, will you answer?
Our Lord Jesus said that “Many are called but few are chosen” Matthew 22:14
There is the call to give our lives to Christ and there is the call to go out into the world and make a stand for him. Many who answer the first call do not answer the second. This is unfortunate because Jesus also said that “The harvest is plenty but the workers are few” Matthew 9:37
I ask this question because I must seize the opportunity now to ask it of you. God will do great things in the days and months ahead. All things but his word pass away. The time will come when I will no longer write this blog; the day will come when I will answer another call at a place of his choosing. I want to know that I got to ask you this question: God is calling you; will you answer?
You see, it isn’t a question of talent, qualifications, experience or anything else the world requires of us to do a work. The work of God only requires a willing heart that says “Here I am Lord, send me” and in his awesome power he will do the rest. God is looking for a generation of people who are willing to stand for him and make an everlasting mark in the world today. If you will be one of those people please say this short prayer with me: Father, I come before you just as I am. I open my heart to you and ask you to instruct me in your will for my life. Show me where I will make this stand and give me the grace to follow you. Here I am O Lord; send me to the glory of your name. In Jesus’ mighty name Amen.
God bless you, now and forever. Amen.
