God is Calling

 

Text: 1 Samuel 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.

In our text above, we can see that the Lord called Samuel three times, but it was at the third time, he answered the call of the Lord because God used Eli to direct Samuel on what to do when he calls the next time.And today God is calling me and you. This story teaches us that God does not give up on man despite all the distractions and ignorance. 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's 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, 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.

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. Many people have missed it because they concluded that they are in their final chance or lost the opportunity, but that is very wrong. God is not a man that would lie or go back on His words; 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. So whatever opportunity you have lost, several others still awaits us if you listen carefully to His voice, and this would be your portion, in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

1.      Father, as you did not give up on Samuel but instead gave him a 3rd chance, please do not give up on us, in Jesus name.

2.      Oh Lord, may I hear clearly and understand the next phase of my calling, in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE:Remember to hear His voice in the clouded season of life as to avoid negative alternative.
