Our focus is on Christ
Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; 11 for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
2 Peter 1:10-11 (NKJV)
World Changer: Strengthening our call is an urgency for all those Christians who wish to remain firm, against the adversities with which the world tries to distract us and separate us from God. Strengthening our calling is spending daily time in prayer, listening to God as a child does with his Father. Strengthening our call is spending time studying the Bible, to get to know God more every day and we can understand our call.
*If we do all of the above, then by God’s grace He will keep us from falling and to walk firm in his eternal purpose.
*It is a priority to understand our call since our qualification in heaven will be based exclusively on how much we obeyed God in all the things He commanded us to do. It may be that he gives us five talents, or three talents, or just one, but in any case, we never bury any of those talents, rather we have the responsibility of multiplying them, because if we were faithful in a little, then God will give us much when we reach eternity with Him (Matthew 25:14-30).
*It means that God will not qualify us for trying to imitate the calling of other people, but for specifically identifying our calling, because from there God will make the decision of where we will spend eternity.
Our focus always has to be to seek and do God’s will by his grace and in his way and not ours. Therefore, if we live focused on Christ and pleasing him in our daily lives, it will be almost impossible to slip and lose our calling, because the power of God will always sustain us as children obedient to his will.
Today is your day of salvation and to strengthen yourself in your calling and purpose, so that Christ may be your hope of glory and your victory to change the world (Romans 10:8-13, Colossians 1:27, 1 Corinthians 15:10, 57 ). Hallelujah.
