God’s Calling

  

Text: 1Samuel.3:10 (KJV)

And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.

This story teaches us that God does not give up on man despite all the distractions and ignorance. He cannot abandon us as He persists on His call upon us. What a great privilege in Him. Although it may seem as if there is no direction, He is still present; we need to calm down and listen carefully to Him because He is still speaking. John 10:27 - My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. We must be conversant with the voice of who we follow so as to obey Him. He knows and calls us by our names, so we must be tuned to the same channel to pick his voice frequency. If He is talking and we are not tuned in the same signal, we would not hear Him; neither would we understand what he is saying. In this story, Eli connected Samuel to the voice of the Lord; we should learn to be careful who we run to for advice, so as we do not miss the original purpose of God for our lives because of wrong mentors. Many purposes have been diverted because of unhealthy advisers, so be careful. Proverbs 15:22 - Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counselors they are established.

 

Amazingly, God has a specific assignment for each and every one of us with its locations attached to it, so do not be weary or tired of His voice of instruction; even if it may seem as if we have missed the direction, he is patiently waiting for us to return to fulfill His divine assignment. Many people have missed it because they concluded that they are in their final chance, but that is very wrong. God is not a man so he does not give up on us even if we have wasted everything, so do not conclude for Him. We are alive today because we have several other chances to hear his voice like Samuel in Jesus name.

 

PRAYER POINT:

 

1.       Oh Lord, may I hear clearly and understand the next phase of my calling, no matter the distractions in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Do not go too far on the wrong direction rather follow His voice.
