TOPIC: WHEN HE CALLS, PLEASE ANSWER. IT IS A
GREAT HONOR (I)
Read: Jeremiah 1: 4 - 10
Calvary
greetings to you in Jesus name.
This
message is directed at believers who might have turned down the call of God at
one time or other. Brethren, please note that whenever God calls and you refuse
to heed His call, it is simply an insult.
Secularly,
it is unimaginable for a staff of an organization (reputable or otherwise) to
refuse redeployment by his/her CEO, advancing reasons why he/she will not honor
the redeployment. I am sure that the readers of this piece will agree with me
that this is clearly an act of insubordination whereas, we at one point or the
other, do worse to God – Malachi 1: 6-8.
Prophet
Jeremiah is an example of an individual God called to preach to a perverse
generation and nation but he bluntly declined because of his perceived
inadequacy. God in His infinite mercy told him of the divine endowment embossed
on him. Moses also gave an excuse that he had a deficiency (stammering) when he
was called at the site of the burning bush.
Any
believer who refuses to slack at the call of God will not only heap punishment
upon himself but he will allow the renegade generation be punished also. Note
we are the watchman of our time.
If
you are reluctant to tell unbelievers to desist from corruptive activities, as
an example, then you must not blame the government for its inability to
eliminate or effectively control it.
In
conclusion, if we are allowed to give excuses, there are avalanche of these we
can give to evade the service of God, but before you turn God down, think of
the attendant repercussions.
Remember,
Jesus is coming back again, be prepared.
Peace!!!
