FAITH CAPSULE:<\/strong> Answering to God\u2019s calling is serving God.<\/p>\n

Genesis 37<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It is written, \u201cAnd the Lord spoke to Moses, \u201cGo to Pharaoh and say to him, \u2018Thus says the Lord: \u201cLet My people go, that they may serve Me.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> Just as God said to Israelites so His word speaks today to all His creation. Serving God is like journeying through the narrow gate which Jesus talked about stating, \u201cMatthew 7:13-14<\/em><\/strong> recorded, \u201cEnter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.\u201d
\n<\/em><\/strong>Answering to God\u2019s calling is serving God. For man to serve God will come with challenging difficulties, but God is certain to back man that answers diligently to His calling. God\u2019s calling will break man that answers at the initial stage, but blessing will surely answer for man that answers obediently. The ones He breaks are meant to be blessed. His breaking comes along with blessing. (Jesus broke and blessed the bread of life) God will never leave man broken if man answers His calling faithfully. Book of 1Thessalonian 5:24 <\/em><\/strong>recorded promise in place for man that answers God\u2019s calling, \u201cHe who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> When God calls there be no prior arrangement or there be no announcement before God\u2019s calling. In God\u2019s calling, breaking comes before blessing. God called Joseph and he was broken before he was blessed.
\nJoseph was answering to the calling upon his life without knowing the challenges ahead. At age 17, Joseph was answering to Jacob\u2019s (his father) errand when he entered the path to God\u2019s calling upon his life. Jacob spoke to Joseph, \u201cPlease go and see if it is well with your brothers and well with the flocks and bring back word to me.\u201d So he sent him out of the Valley of Hebron, and he went to Shechem.\u201d (Genesis 37:14)<\/em><\/strong> From the moment Joseph went answering to Jacob\u2019s errand he wandered into the journey of his life without prior preparation or idea of what he was getting into.
\nThe book of Psalm 105:17-22<\/em><\/strong> shed light on the truth that Joseph\u2019s journey was an answer to God\u2019s plan and purpose without his knowing. Joseph had no preparation that takes him into his journey. It is written, \u201cHe sent a man before them\u2014Joseph\u2014who was sold as a slave. They hurt his feet with fetters,<\/em><\/strong> 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.\u201d
\n<\/em><\/strong>God is awesome by the operation of His hand. Knowingly or unknowingly, have you been called by God? Your calling shall come, and God shall back you up.<\/p>\n

Prayer for today:<\/strong> Ask for the grace to remain focus on the calling of your life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
