CALLING< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Luke 10:29-37

What is your calling? Are you a bishop, apostle, prophet or any titled position among the body of Christ? You can have all the title and not answer His calling. The Parable of the Good Samaritan is a demonstration of how titled ministers walk away from their calling. As Jesus narrated, a man was attacked by thieves in his journey and was left wounded, with his properties stolen. A priest came by and saw, but walked away; a Levite arrived at the scene, looked, and passed on the other side. The priest and the Levite (that is the pastor, bishop, apostle, and all kinds of title in the church) failed in the call of caring. A Samaritan (deeply hated by the Jew), a nobody in the church, made the difference when he answered his calling. Luke 10:33, ÒBut a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion. Where the big men of the church are walking away, the supposedly sinner, a Samaritan, answered the calling of God. That is, he had compassion just as Jesus always had compassion. You do not have to be a priest or a Levite before you answer your calling. What matters is for you to answer. It is possible tofor you be a priest or Levite and not answer your call. Answering your calling involves getting involved with the needy. The Samaritan supplied materials, and also paid off the bill. Can you answer the LordÕs question? Luke 10:36, ÒSo which of these three do you think was neighbor to him who fell among the thieves?Ó Calling is not only for the titled ones among the fellowship of believers, you are also being called.
