ACCORDING TO HOW YOU ARE CALLED

SCRIPTURES:

1Kings 8:10-11

¹⁰ When the priests withdrew from the Holy Place, the cloud filled the temple of the LORD. ¹¹ And the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the LORD filled his temple.

1Kings 8:17-19

⁷ “My father David had it in his heart to build a temple for the Name of the LORD, the God of Israel. ¹⁸ But the LORD said to my father David, ‘You did well to have it in your heart to build a temple for my Name. ¹⁹Nevertheless, you are not the one to build the temple, but your son, your own flesh and blood—he is the one who will build the temple for my Name.’

OBSERVATION

• Our Lord is not a "go with the flow God" He always has His own agenda and that is far far higher and better than ours.
• God's holiness can sweep us anytime he wants
• Regardless of how much we want to do something for God, if it never was our calling, even if it's a godly thing, He wont able us to accomplish such. I believe everyone of us holds a map drawn by God and each map leads to a unique and divine destination. If we start to live out a calling that was never ours, We can never have a fulfilled life.

APPLICATION:

• Never the eliminate the fact that in every ministry, regardless of how prepared we are, God's agenda should still prevail. No matter how well we organized things out, God's moving is still higher and better than ours.
• Honestly, at my age i still have a vague picture of how God wants me to live my life, but one thing is certain, God wont just pop up an idea on my mind and tell me that's how he called me. My part is to feed myself tidbits or even chunks of the possible ministry He prepared for me and God's part is to confirm it to me.

PRAYER:

Dear Lord,

Never allow me to waste my life by living out something that wasn't my calling. May you align my desires to yours Lord and guide me in every step of the way. My life is all about giving you glory by fulfilling your purpose in me. Your will be done Lord.
