ANSWER THE CALL

Is there a reverberating sound in your spirit that is directing you toward a particular area of ministry? It is highly likely that God is calling you to a specific ministry function. We must understand the voice that is speaking. I am reminded of the call Samuel the prophet (2 Samuel 2:1-10). God was calling but he was unfamiliar with the voice of God.

It’s similar to answering a telephone, but not hearing a voice on the other end. They can hear you clearly but because something is wrong with the receiver's end you are unaware that they can hear you.

*Samuel ran to Eli, this suggesting that the voice sounded similar to his.

INSTRUCTIONS/MENTOR-SHIP

In the story we see the importance of mentor-ship. Samuel was committed to Eli for the purpose of training. Eli knew the voice of God and was skilled in the administration and operation of the Spirit of God. This qualified him to address Samuel's concern and recognize the call of God on Samuel's life.  

VISITATION

Oftentimes when God is calling us to ministry, we will receive a sign. These signs are given to help us to flow into the area of ministry He has called us to. We are to prayerfully look for the signs of his calling, you must know the time of your visitation. Otherwise, you will live an unfulfilled life.

Firstly, we must run to holy scripture as our #1 resource. Secondly, we must look for help from those who have proven themselves to be skilled conduits in hearing the voice of God and knowledgeable about the ways that God would call a person. After recognizing the call then we move to the next level.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

Romans 8:28 speaks to us being called according to His purpose .You are separated for a particular function in the body of Christ and it is encumbered upon you to seek out how to fulfil the position through the pursuit of knowledge. Read books, look at videos and hold on to as many sources as possible that will help you reach your goal. 

OPERATE

When your skills would have been developed, then you are ready to operate. Declare that no matter what challenges you may encounter, "I WILL DO THE WILL OF GOD FOR MY LIFE”.

VISION

While preparing this blog, God gave me a vision and the revelation.

I clearly saw an isolated rose. I could see the flower peddles in a state of decline. Despite it being in the ground, it was losing life.

Then came the Word of the Lord unto me and saying, "This is what is happening to many of My people. They are not walking in the call of God and are living defeated Christian lives. Their purpose is not being fulfilled and thus they are spiritually withering/dying."
