Qualified for the Calling

Main Point:  You are qualified to answer your Godly Calling.  Those who surrender to the Calling will witness the supernatural hand of God move on their behalf.
                             
You are qualified. God said so….

• Ephesians 2:10. God created us to do good works so we should walk in the calling.
• Exodus 4:10-12.  God created you equipped/qualified to do the work of the Kingdom.

If you think you are not talented and gifted enough to be used for God’s Kingdom purpose.  I have a scripture for you:
1 Corinthians 1:27-29. God uses the foolish things of this world to confound the wise.  Let no man glory in his presence.
 
David answers the call to do extraordinary things:

• 1 Samuel 17:41-49.  David is called to defeat the Giant to save all of Israel.
  • David gave the reason this supernatural event was going to occur.
    • That all would know that there is a God in Israel.
    • And those witnessing these event would know God doesn’t need swords and spears.

David the Shepherd Boy.  Less than ordinary according to his father:

• 1 Samuel 16:6-13.  David the Shepherd boy was left out by his father but God sees the heart

Pastor’s Thoughts;

• God equips you, not just chooses you; He doesn't find perfect people, He makes ordinary, willing people extraordinary for His purpose, providing skills, strength, and guidance as you step out in faith.
• David had the most important thing.  He knew God.
  • He used his time as a shepherd to talk to God (secret place)
    • Those with a consistent secret place time with God will never be ordinary.

What do I do to accept what God has qualified?

• First, know God in the secret place.  This to me is the most important for any Christian to make happen in their lives.
  • I said this before, I will say it again,  “if I know you have a consistent secret place time with God” I know you are going to be ok.  Actually, better than ok.  You are going to do amazing things for God’s Kingdom.
• Second, once you know God personally, then begin to do works for God’s Kingdom that are not selfish.
  • Love others expecting nothing in return
  • Give unto others expecting nothing in return (this includes tithes and offerings)
    • You cannot out-give God.

Do these two things beginning this Christmas season and watch the hand of God move on your behalf.

Conclusion:

• Do you accept?
• You are qualified to answer your Godly Calling.  Those who surrender to the Calling will witness the supernatural hand of God move on their behalf. Like David.  Do you Accept?
• Establish your secret place and begin to do works unselfishly for the Kingdom of God.
