FAITH CAPSULE: When God place His call upon your life you will have to answer to what must be done

Acts 9:1-19

Have you answered to what must be done for you to enter into God’s divine assignment for your life or you are waiting on God for what must be done? As a believer do you know what must be done for you to fulfill your divine assignment? Going and coming to fellowships on weekdays or Sundays will not substitute for any believer’s divine assignment. Through the Bible, every man that answered to the calling of divine assignment was able to answer to what must be done. The difference between believers who are serving to the fulfillment of their calling is their answering to what must be done. However, either you are a believer or not, when God place His call upon your life you will have to answer to what must be done to fulfill your divine assignment. It was recorded of Saul of Tarsus, “Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven. Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?” (Acts 9:1-4) Saul of Tarsus was on his way to wreck havoc on the disciples of the Lord in Damascus when he encountered what must be done for him to live the fulfillment of his destiny in Christ Jesus. After Saul’s response to the light that shone on him and brought him down to the ground, he asked who the Lord is and Jesus responded by introducing Himself. In Saul’s response to Jesus’ introduction, it is recorded in Acts 9:6, “So he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do You want me to do?” Then the Lord said to him, “Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.” Saul received instruction about what must be done. Also, Saul’s name was changed for good to Paul and from the moment of receiving instruction, Paul began to move in the direction of God’s assignment for his life. Determination is not what will help; but the grace of God is what will get you into your divine assignment. The Word of God promises that “He will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go and He will guide you with His eye” (Psalm 32:8).What must be done in your life will get you to where you must be in the Lord.

Prayer for today: Ask God to help you to locate what must be done to serve the Lord in deed and in truth.
