Diversis Of Calls. Acts 9:1-5. BY REV NDUBUISI MICHAEL

A call well followed is accompanied with blessings and reward, but rejected will embrace consequences

 By Rev Ndubuisi Michael

In the Bible we often read the accounts of when God called Abraham, or called Noah, or Moses. The Old Testament is filled with passages describing different leaders, prophets, kings who were called by God for different reasons. Even in the New Testament we read of God calling Mary and Joseph, Elizabeth and John for special reasons. And then Jesus, Himself, calling His Apostles to follow Him. Some may think that since that time God no longer calls people like He did in the past but this is not so. Every day in a variety of ways God is calling each of us.

The gentle, direct and at times dramatic, but it won’t always be in the same way, each of His call must come with one this four, ” interruption, interrogation, instruction or direction, ” God cannot make use of you fully without this things.

Kinds Of Calls. There are four kinds calls, God calls to His people every day. (1) CALL TO SALVATION; calling one into Christianity, where you renounce your sin, and receive Christ, as your personal Lord and Savior. John 1:12, Lev 11:44, 1 These 5:24. 1 Cor 6:9-11. (2) CALL TO SERVICE; We don’t serve in order to make ourselves better people, denying sin and self is what makes us better. We serve God in Christ because – it is our natural response to His kindness in calling us out of the world. We serve because Jesus served and this is the best way to demonstrate His love. We serve in order to build the church and provide the resources to maintain the call of God to all Nations. Romans 12:6-11, Acts 2:44-45, serve Him now He give you the opportunity to do so.

(3) CALL TO SAVE; Call to save is the call of the gospel, and is the first priority of the Church and the first responsibility of every individual. This is a command that all being had from creation, but until you are saved, you are not a church and cannot save any. Mtt 9:13, 28:19-20. (4) CALL TO SUFFER; This may a surprise to every one here and out there listening, I think most Christians are familiar with the ideas that we are called to be saved, to be sanctified (in other words to grow and mature in the character of Christ) and called to serve. But so many are surprised, even angry and depressed when as Christians they encounter opposition, inconvenience, trials and persecution. What a poor use of our spiritual energy when we see our sufferings as a waste of time. Some think that being sick, losing our work, encountering opposition makes us lose our value as Christians.Paul tells us that suffering all by itself, regardless of the circumstances, if done in the Spirit of Christ – is worthy of receiving our place in heaven. 2Thes 1:5 2Tim 2:11-12.
