THE CALLING OF GOD

FAITH CAPSULE: With prayer, you will answer to the calling of God.

1 Samuel 3

Answering the calling of God will position one to the center of His calling for deliverance and preservation, living life to the glory of God, not living a life of waste.
The challenges of life are not enough to stop the calling of God over one that He chooses to give a call to live life for Him.
However, there are forces in place to delay or deny one from not hearing to answer the calling of God.
The Challenge of Samuel delayed him in answering to the calling of God and should be prayed not to experience.
SAMUEL AT HIS CALLING
Samuel was ministering in the house of God when the calling of God came. At his calling, the word of the Lord was rare in those days; there was no widespread revelation.
1st time of calling: 
When God called Samuel, he answered wrongly, thinking Eli called him, and he said to Eli, “Here I am, for you called me. And he said, “I did not call; lie down again.” And he went and lay down.” (1 Samuel 3:4-5)
Samuel could hear but ran wrongly, and he could not answer. (Answering wrong will reposition one wrongly, He hears but yet runs wrong)
PRAYER:
Ask that everywhere you have misplaced the calling of God over your life, God that reverses irreversible will have mercy to redirect you on the track of His direction over your life. 
2nd time of calling:
Samuel could not answer appropriately but went back and lay down to sleep.
Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, nor was the word of the Lord yet revealed to him. 1 Samuel 3:7 records, “Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, nor was the word of the Lord yet revealed to him.”
Know God, not just know about God to receive the revelation of God. 
PRAYER:
Ask that God will enable you to know Him and be able to receive His revelation over your life, to position you in the center of his divine assignment. 
Ask that the Lord God shall deliver you from the forces that send you back, sleeping in the place to be awake, moving forward to His calling, to be active for His glory.
3rd time of calling:
Samuel ran to Eli and was redirected by Eli saying, “Therefore Eli said to Samuel, “Go, lie down; and it shall be, if He calls you, that you must say, ‘Speak, Lord, for Your servant hears.’” So, Samuel went and lay down in his place.” (1 Samuel 3:9)
Eli directed Samuel right, saying, YOU MUST SAY, SPEAK LORD.
Samuel now knows what he must do for him to hear from God.
PRAYER
Ask God to enable you to know what you must do, to hear and answer the calling of God over your life.
4th time of calling:
Samuel did as direct by Eli, his overseer, the servant of God spoke to him.
PRAYER 
Ask that God will have mercy to speak again in every juncture you have missed His callings over your life.
