What is calling? How to reveal personal calling and how to enter it?

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
Let peace and mercy from our Lord Jesus Christ multiply in your life today! I pray, so that God´s word impregnates and strengthens your soul, spirit and body. People often ask me a question how to reveal their personal calling. “What is calling? How to reveal personal calling and how to enter it? How to grow in personal calling?” – these are questions people ask me. Since the topic is vitally important, God urged me to enlighten it for broader audience.Recognising of your calling and your task in this life is a process that consists of many small details. Quite often, people try to reveal their calling, while neglecting those small details that make the whole process. Nowadays, many people are unhappy because they either lack revelation for their life or oppose to such revelation, or simply lack understanding of how to fulfil the revelation. Let´s figure it all out.First thing to know is the fact that you were born to carry out a certain task. Bible says our life on this Earth has a goal and value determined. You are not a result of an accident! You were born on this Earth not just for the matter of occupying some space and breathing. You´ve got a mission to fulfil, a way to measure. You are created to take care for others and saved to minister. There many places in the Bible talking about this. We are going to elaborate the verse from Paul´s letter to Ephesians 2:10 
«For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.».
 There is a very deep truth is buried in this short verse. Looking at the context we can notice that Paul is saying we are saved by faith not by our deeds. By faith we receive what God has done for us in Christ. Though, the Holy Spirit affirms that deeds must follow the act of salvation. In other words, we are not saved by deeds but to do deeds. “For we are His workmanship”, we didn´t come into this life by accident. Intelligent Creator made us. Our life has its source and roots in God. Hellenic word “poiema” interpreted as “creation” or “creature” is a stem of the word “poem” and talks about composition. Such word is used to describe any completed artwork like a statue, a song, a poetry or a painting.It stresses the fact, that we are the masterpieces created by the Almighty God. He is the designer of our lives, when we are just the products of His mastership.  
«Know that Yahweh, he is God. It is he who has made us, and we are his. We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.» (Psalms 99:3).
 We are His creation, so He created us in His likeness. Every person was created as unique, that´s why each of us is worthy and valuable. God is not a god of chaos and chance, but the Author of life, also the Author of your life from the moment you were conceived till your last day – everything has been already planned by Him. 
«For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to you, For I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well. My frame wasn’t hidden from you, When I was made in secret, Woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my body. In your book they were all written, The days that were ordained for me, When as yet there were none of them. How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them!!» (Psalms 138:13-17).
  The God who created us, also counted our days on this Earth and things we are going to do. It´s only Him who knows how we are designed and how we should function. God made us according to His purpose for our life.  
«For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope in your latter end.» (Jeremiah 29:11).
 Reason about this verse from Scripture today and try to understand that God has god intentions to you. He has prepard a wonderful future for you!Meet you tomorrow!Lord bless you abundantly!Rufus Adjiboje, pastor

    God cleanses me through His Word, so I have to be absorbed in it daily. It might seem to you that you are not getting anything out of it, but it is not so. When we read the Word, we receive deep cleansing, just like people get clean when they bathe. It must be done as often as possible so we would stink spiritually. If you start to notice that you are getting quick-tempered, it means you need to wash it off. If you notice your heart closing up, it means you are not reading the Word and missing the cleansing. If you notice things that do not comply with Christian standards, for example, picking a quarrel, it is a sign of not being in the Word enough.

  • God wants prayer to become priority in the lives of His children!

    Everything that devil has bound up in your life – your miracle, your promises, – can be released to you by the supernatural power of God. But for it to happen, prayer must become your number 1 priority.Take any Bible story and you will see what powerful prayer of believers is able to accomplish. For example, what did Daniel do when he was thrown into lions’ den? Did he pray? No, it was too late to pray. He had been praying long before he got to this point in his life. It is too late to pray when you are in a den with some lions. You must pray before anything like that happens! Daniel prayed three times a day every day.
