FAITH CAPSULE: What is holding you down from answering to the calling of God upon your life?

Acts 9, Mark 11:1-11
Jesus commanded His disciples in Mark 11:2-3, “Go into the village opposite you; and as soon as you have entered it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has sat. Loose it and bring it. And if anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it,’ and immediately he will send it here.” (Mark 11:2-3) 
Jesus saw a colt in a position to be used for His glory. However, the colt was tied not to be available for the use of Jesus.
Just as the colt was tied down, not be ride by the glory of God, are you being tied down not to be answered and be used by God?
Jesus needed a colt that was not tied down, a colt that is loose.
What must be in place for you to enter into your divine assignment? 
Many are consciously or unconsciously tied down and not available to serve God.
Some are tied down and do not know that they are tied down while engaging in the celebration of Jesus, evidence of not being connected to Jesus. Celebration without connection to Jesus is evidence of a lack of not answering the calling of God and not committed.
Going and coming to fellowships on Sundays is not enough evidence of connection with Jesus. Answering the calling of God, not being tied down, makes the difference between all the acclaimed believers of Jesus as Lord and savior.
What is holding you down from answering to the calling of God upon your life?
Saul of Tarsus was on his way to wreak havoc on the disciples of the Lord in Damascus when he encountered the calling of God. 
It was the light that shone on Saul that brought him down to the ground when he asked who the Lord is and Jesus responded by introducing Himself. Saul gained the understanding of Jesus, “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.” (Acts 9:6) At the point of the encounter of Jesus with Saul that changed the name Saul to Paul.
Paul received the instruction for his direction from Jesus.
Determination is not enough to help in answering the calling of God, 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 is holding your life down from answering to the calling of God?
Determination is not enough to answer the calling of God, but desire to walk with God plus the mercy of God will deposit all that it takes to answer the calling of God.

Prayer for today: Ask that God will enable you to live life for God.
