Calling vs. Qualification
We’ve done people an injustice. See we’ve told people in the church “If you would serve in your area that you are passionate about, God will bless you.”. But, that’s not necessarily true. Huh? What you mean Minister Andrea? Glad you asked. God does not call the equipped. God calls the unequipped. Then tells them to do something they NATURALLY can’t do without His Grace, His Power, His Anointing. Oh God. Example: If you already have a natural inclination to dance, we assume the ministry for you in the Body is the dance team. But God has CALLED you to the communications and marketing ministry. Yeah there. That place where you know nothing about speech, communication and reaching people. Why there? Because your deep secret is you can dance but can’t read, write & spell. And because you know your limitations, you can’t or WON’T serve where God called you. Oh God. HOW can God get GLORY out of your life if you won’t let His SUPER impose over your NATURAL? Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with your love of your natural gifts. However, it is where God calls you to that you will find your greatest challenges, fulfillment and joy. When you finally submit to the will of God concerning WHERE and WHAT He wants for you, that’s when you will experience the full power of the Living God working inside you. Just imagine when that dancer finally goes into her/his true calling in God. The anointing of God will activate. The secret will be exposed. The healing will come. The learning will begin and the creativity will flow. The communication ministry will increase and God WILL get the Glory. The place where God calls us to go may very well be the place of our greatest challenge. We aren’t going to be comfortable. We may not like the environment. We will face opposition. We will definitely feel our inadequacies and limitations. Nevertheless, it is that place where we are comforted by Holy Spirit the most. That’s when He shifts the atmosphere to accommodate His gift. We begin to see God takes on the enemies who oppose His Will. Yes, the place of our calling is where God takes our insecurities and uses them MIGHTILY for His Glory. Your Glory God. Your CALLING from God may not be your natural giftings. Some of you know that already. Where you are comfortable is not necessarily where you are called. It’s time to accept YOUR CALLING. Your calling is where you will find peace because you will finally be in place. Your calling is where you will find joy because you and your purpose are joined. Your calling is where you will receive healing because God is now your help. It is where He CALLS you that He has great need of you. It is where He CALLS you that you will know your great need for Him.
Can you hear and heed your call?
