Commissioned By The Spirit.
Before the Spirit ever spoke a word, the call was already there.
In Acts 13, the church at Antioch was ministering to the Lord and fasting, simply staying close to Him, when the Holy Spirit said, “Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them” (Acts 13:2, NKJV).
That prayer meeting did not create the call. IT REVEALED IT.
This is Ephesians 2:10 in motion: “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”
The word workmanship is poiēma, God’s crafted work. His masterpiece. We were made on purpose, with intention and care. Before we were formed, He knew us, and He had already written our days (Jeremiah 1:5; Psalm 139:16).
Barnabas and Saul are the picture, but their story is not only about them. God had a work prepared for them, and HE HAS A WORK PREPARED FOR US, in our homes, our workplaces, our churches, our communities, and among our friends.
We are not waiting to be deployed. WE ARE ALREADY DEPLOYED.
And the message we carry is the most powerful in the world. It is not merely a message of judgment or moral improvement. It is the glorious declaration that THROUGH JESUS, EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES IS JUSTIFIED FROM ALL THINGS (Acts 13:39).
Not some things. All things. This is the finished work of Christ.
Some doors will open. Others will close. But when a door closes, the call does not expire. It moves.
Paul and Barnabas encountered opposition and turned to the Gentiles, and the Word continued to advance (Acts 13:46 to 47). The Kingdom does not stop because a door shuts. It simply moves through the next one.
We have a call on our lives. It was there before the Spirit ever spoke it. Now, let us go and work with God.
