Fulfill your calling!

What do I mean fulfill your calling? Well when you give your life to Christ, God then calls each one of us to share the good news of His saving grace with others. It is all of our jobs. Then we don't stop there, once we lead a person to Christ we are then to disciple this person. Show them by example how to live the Christian life. We are also to pour ourselves into their lives by teaching them how to read and study the bible, pray, love others, and share their faith. This is fulfilling our calling. So let me ask you....are you?



One of the awesome things about God is He has supplied us with all we need to fulfill our calling. Here they are:



1. Holy Spirit.



John 6:63

63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.



The power to change lives come through the Holy Spirit which dwells in you if you are a follower of Christ!



2.Word of God.



2 Timothy 3:16-17

16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.



Plain and simple...the bible is our guide book for life and changing hearts to fulfill our calling is covered in the bible.



3. Prayer.



James 5:16-20

16 Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. 17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. 18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.19 Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back, 20 let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins.



Prayer is our communication with God. It is amazing that a Holy, Righteous God would allow me to even say a word to Him but He does and wants me to and then listen for Him to talk back to me! Pray for God to use you in a mighty way to bring others to Him and help them change for His glory.



You will be surprised that when you lead others closer to God how much closer you also will draw to God!



Fulfill your calling brothers and sisters! It is your job just as much as the preachers!
