FAITH CAPSULE: God’s calling over one’s life is not negotiate-able for one’s preference type before God.
Psalm 105
God has a calling for all man with a different assignment.
God created all for His purpose, for His glory.
God’s word confirmed that our Lord God is worthy to receive glory and honor and power. He created all things to exist. (Revelations 4:11) Whatever God calls you for, or when He calls you for His purpose, to send you will mark you as a candidate for His blessing.
The calling of God does not come without challenges (challenges that are enough to cause the calling of man to crumble comes along with calling) Regardless of challenges, there is the promise of God to see one through in His calling. The word of God promised in 1Thessalonian 5:24, “He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.” What or when God calls for you and you invite doubt the agent of limitation is erecting a roadblock for your miracle. Deny doubt!
In the type of God’s calling over one’s life is not within one to decide or negotiate for one’s preference type of God’s calling to answer before God. God is the Creator of all and sees before or beyond all our journey in life. In all of God’s calling, there is a plan of God to set one up to arrive at the center of divine assignment if called one will focus on His faithfulness.
When God calls, there will be no prior arrangement; there be no announcement before calling; there be no baggage to hinder or slow one down. Above all, God’s calling will break one before the manifestation of God’s blessing.
In the calling of God, Joseph, in his journey of answering to God he was broken before the manifestation of God’s blessing over his life.
Joseph answered God’s calling over his life without knowing the journey of God’s calling ahead of his life.
At age 17, Joseph’s answering to Jacob (his father) was the route for the path to his center of divine assignment.
Jacob said, “…Please go and see if it is well with your brothers and well with the flocks and bring back word to me.” So, he sent him out of the Valley of Hebron, and he went to Shechem.” (Genesis 37:14) The answering to Jacob led Joseph into the journey of God’s divine assignment without preparation before entering of his God’s calling.
The book of Psalm 105:17-22 shed light on the truth that Joseph’s journey was his answer to God’s calling. Psalm 105:17-22, “He sent a man before them Joseph who was sold as a slave.” They hurt his feet with fetters, He was laid in irons. “Until the time that his word came to pass, the word of the Lord tested him. The king sent and released him, the ruler of the people let him go free. He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his possessions, to bind his princes at his pleasure, and teach his elders wisdom.” Joseph at 17 years could not see his beloved father Jacob until 30 years of age. Joseph, from a priced slave, became prime minister.
Prayer for today: Ask God for God’s established hand upon your life to live life for His glory.
