Ministering :Pastor Godfrey Masenga
Theme: A season of Opportunities To Testify of The Greatness of God .
Luke.21.13 - And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
The Spirit of the Season : Hearing The Voice of God
TOPIC: GOD'S CALL AND YOUR RESPONSE
The call of God
Whether I hear God’s call or not
depends on the condition of my
ears, and exactly what I hear
depends upon my spiritual
attitude.’
Two important questions to ask
1.a.How has God Called Me?
b.How have I responded?
a)How has God Called Me?
-In Various Times
- Through Various ways
Through his word in the bible
By prophecies
Through the preachings by his servants
Taking time to pray
How have I responded?
a)With Action of (Obedience/Disobedience ) Are you willing?
What kind of attitude are you putting of, concerning your call?
Isaiah 6:8
Then I heard the voice of the Lord
saying, “Whom shall I send? And
who will go for us?”
And I said, “ Here am I. Send me!*
- Rely on Christ’s word, and to cling to it as an offering of greater security than all the securities in the world.
-Jonah was called by God to go and preach in Ninevah but his response was negative and he acted in disobedience .
Because of his attitude to the call of God, he was affected physically, psychologically and spiritually .
It was after he confessed to God that he was then restored .
He found connection to God, to himself and to other people again when he repented and therefore connected with his God given call
b)With redefined Conviction(s)
Is there a drive within you?
• ( Trust and faith)
Do you believe God to help you, guide you and to be with you in what he has called you
This call is uninterrupted
God is always calling us!
But there are distinctive moments in this call of his, moments which leave a permanent mark on us,moments which we never forget.
God is inviting us to a partnership with Him
a.Primary calling and most important aspect of God’s call is the call to Himself.
(The Call To Salvation)
Luke.19.10 -
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
John.1.11 -12
b.Secondary Calling is our specific
outworking of His Call.
(A Call To Commission/to work)
God is inviting us to a partnership with Him
1Corinthians.3.9 - For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building.
Phil.3.13 -14
A specific call should never overshadow our general-call mandate.
GOD IS ALWAYS CALLING ,HOW IS THE RESPONSE ?
•Giving excuses?
•Complaining?
OR You Willingly Receiving The Call.
