Our Life and Our Calling.

We, those who love Christ, have a divine purpose for our lives. Each of us has a calling. Some are called to preach, some to evangelize, some to lead worship, some to literature ministry, some for teaching, some to counsel and exhort others, some to build churches, some to prayer ministry—the list goes on and on..

Paul is clear when he writes to the Thessalonians about this. To the believers he says, "So we keep on praying for you, asking our God to enable you to live a life worthy of His call. May He give you the power to accomplish all the good things your faith prompts you to do."1 Thessalonians 1:11.

Now, my friend, has God revealed His calling to you? What is it that you have to accomplish for the Kingdom of God? What are we going to do with the life we have been bestowed on earth?

All we need to do is pray like Paul prayed. Ask God to enable us to live in power, to enable us to walk in our calling. May we understand what we have to do for God in faith. Paul, in the next verse, says the Lord Jesus will be honoured if we do so. And let the day come when we all say, as Paul said, "This is all made possible because of the grace of our God and our Lord, Jesus Christ."

Yes, my friend, may He finish what He started with your hands. May He lead you in every righteous path He has for you. May you walk in your calling. May Christ enable you to do it. May it become possible for you through Christ.

John Wesley, the famous preacher of England, is known for praying, preaching, and bringing revival there. He had a friend named John Fletcher who asked himself some questions for self examination every day. One question goes like this: "What have I done this day for the souls and bodies of God's dear saints?" About him, John Wesley said, "I have known no man like him."

Get up, dear friend, we have a long way to go. Let us hold Jesus' hand and live a life worthy of our calling.

Dear God, we pray that You strengthen us and enable us to live a life worthy of the calling You have for us. Through Christ, help us to achieve great things for You. May we nurture the vision You have given us. Protect our body, soul, and spirit. May we honour You in every way, dear Lord. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
