FAITH CAPSULE: <\/strong>The calling of God cannot progress without His word of direction.<\/p>\n

Jeremiah 1, Acts 9:1-9<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

With direction man will be guided and not respond like a headless chicken in wrong direction.
\nHave you been called by God or called by man?
\nGod is a God of order and will not call you without giving you direction.
\nAre you experiencing challenges in your calling? Often times, challenges are engendered when there is a miss in hearing or following God\u2019s.
\nAmong the called ones were Jeremiah and Paul the apostle. Jeremiah and Paul\u2019s calling was not fueled by emotion or past evil agendas.
\nIs your self-acclaimed calling fueled by emotion? It is true that no vehicle can progress in journey without gasoline so is the calling of God cannot progress without His word of direction. Whenever there is an attempt to progress without God\u2019s direction termination will have a place instead of progress.
\nThe calling of Jeremiah and Paul was fueled with obedience to God\u2019s direction.
\nWhen God called Jeremiah, God did not consider emotion of hindrance to stop Jeremiah. At the calling of Jeremiah\u2019s emotion of his youth made God\u2019s response, \u201c\u2026Do not say, \u2018I am a youth,\u2019 for you shall go to all to whom I send you, and whatever I command you, you shall speak. Do not be afraid of their faces, for I am with you to deliver you\u2026\u201d (Jeremiah 1:7-8)<\/em><\/strong> The direction of God did not stop fueling Jeremiah and that made Jeremiah\u2019s call of assignment to be well established.
\nPaul\u2019s calling was different by virtue of his background. He was on his way against Jesus and the bible recorded, \u201cThen Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest 2\u00a0<\/sup>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.” (Acts 9:1-2)<\/em><\/strong> When He called Paul, it was with the light of God that founded Paul. The light sought him out on his way to commit more crimes against the Lord. Paul could not hide (because of his past evil) to allow hindrance for his direction that was a fuel of progress to divine assignment. Paul did not miss but received direction by stating in Acts 22:10, \u201cSo I said, \u2018What shall I do, Lord?\u2019 And the Lord said to me, \u2018Arise and go into Damascus and there you will be told all things which are appointed for you to do.\u2019\u201d
\n<\/em><\/strong>From where you are now it is not too late for you to ask and get back into a right direction. Do not allow emotion or past wicked agenda cut you off from God\u2019s divine assignment for your life.<\/p>\n

Prayer for today:<\/strong> Ask God to deliver you and not miss God\u2019s direction to your divine assignment.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
