Indeed Called!


Several people are disillusioned with their walk with the Lord. They believe He does not answer their prayers no matter how much effort they put in by praying, fasting and giving. After awhile they begin to question if God actually called them. Unfortunately, their local assemblies seem not to understand their plight, since they are born again they believe they should be alright. Someone once said that so many servants of God have changed the Scripture that says we should go and make disciples of men, what they are making are believers. Just get them ‘born again’; what they do thereafter is not much of their concern! When these new converts come into the fold they are unable to connect with the God they have been introduced to. The basic elementary teachings of God they are not taught yet they are made to handle units they are ill-equipped for whilst slowly decaying and dying on the inside. Those that remain try to play along for awhile whilst others return into the world worse off. If you are in such a situation please read this prayerfully and the Lord will expand it in you. In Esther 2:15, we saw the young virgin Esther humbly rely completely on Hegai’s the king’s eunuch’s suggestions. She understood that she cannot win the king’s approval if she doesn’t know what he likes. He taught her what the king desires; because she listened and obeyed the teachings she won the approval of the king and all that saw her. She had been earlier uprooted from everything familiar, she now has to operate in an environment where the customs, language, dressing, thinking is all different. The king’s eunuch like the Holy Spirit had been positioned to help these young virgins prepare for their one night with the king that will either lead them into an exalted position in the Palace or be kept in the harem – a holding area for those that would have been ‘queen’. This is exactly how we are when we come into the Kingdom of God. The Holy Spirit is positioned to teach us how to please and delight our Master. Jesus said in John 16:13a (TMSG): “But when the Friend comes, the Spirit of Truth, he will take you by the hand and guide you into all the truth there is…” The Bible says Esther relied completely on the advice of Hegai and she was chosen at the end of the day to be Queen. Friend, the reason for your disillusionment and unfulfilment in your service is not whether if God called you or not; He did, but you are yet to submit totally under His tutelage. In His class you cannot have your own agenda or principles: it is His way all the way! Have you not asked yourself “how can I please the King of kings when I don’t know what He loves.’? The Only One that can teach you is the One that had always being with Him from the very beginning and is still with Him. Spend time with Him and get to know Him, you will be pleasantly surprised. He is INDEED the friend that sticks closer than a brother. Desire to know Him and you will in Jesus Christ name because you are INDEED CALLED! God bless you.

An Answer To Almighty God's Question

 "So I said: “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The Lord of hosts.” Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar. And he touched my mouth with it, and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; Your iniquity is taken away, And your sin purged.” Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me” (Isaiah 6:5-8).         As the Coming of the LORD draws ever closer, there is an increase in dryness, apathy and preoccupation with the world and its treasures in the hearts and minds of many children of God. Looking around our Nation (Nigeria), one would realise that things are not as they should be. The realities on the ground give the impression that the institutions that ought to regulate the lives of the citizen...

But You Did Not Learn Christ In This Way

       I remember meeting a man of God in his office after the Sunday Services in his Church. I, like many others that day needed a few minutes with him. I was there at the instruction of the LORD to deliver a message. As we were talking, one of his Church workers came in and gave him a note. His face lit up, and he was very excited. I saw that there were sets of numbers written. I thought the numbers represented those who gave their lives to Christ, because many came out during the Altar Call to give and rededicate their lives to the LORD Jesus Christ. No! Apparently, they represent the number of people in attendance at each of the three services with the corresponding money collections realised.         They were not concerned about the souls that came out hungry for God! I was saddened by their excitement. They were not excited about the souls that came into the Kingdom of God; rather, they were rejoicing about their egos, ranks and bank a...

The Quarry Site Experience

Have you ever visited a quarry site and considered the process the rocks are subjected to before they become dressed stones to be used? If the stones could talk they will have a story to tell about their experiences.  As children of God we go through diverse experiences and we wonder if we will indeed survive them. Sometimes we wonder why our gracious and compassionate Father would allow such to befall us considering who we are in Him and what we are doing in His vineyard.  The Scripture that should readily come to our minds in such circumstances is God’s assurance when He said: “I will be with you when you pass through the waters, and when you pass through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. You will not be scorched when you walk through the fire and the flame will not burn you ” (Isaiah 43:2). This Scripture assures us that through the experiences of flames and waters, God is always by our side to see us through.  Thus, it is necessary for us to go through the...
