Calling + Faith = Courage, What an equation?
For the past few weeks I have been really struggeling, to be honest.I felt not up to the task of leading an organisation,I felt that I failed GOD in many areas by not being obedient to Holy Spirit, I felt being a missionary is hard work and letting GOD down.
I thought of quiting.
Do you feel like that sometime? Hold On and read further ,
I started thinking of my Calling.The Bible says in 2Tim 1:9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began.
Calling requires a response from you, mine was YES LORD.I knew from the day I started working with young people,I was a missionary.William Carey is my hero and particular This words = Attept great things for GOD and Expect great things from GOD.
What was your response to His calling on a particular work ,relationship and venture HE was busy with?
I started thinking of Faith. The Bible says 1Tim 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith. Lay hold on eternal life, to which you are also called and have professed a good profession before many witnesses.
We must endure,we must complete the race we must stand strong and finish well in whatever GOD has called us in Faith.There is people,young people that is looking at me without me noticing them and they are making sure if my Equation is Truthfull.
What is your Equation saying of you?Do you have an Equation?
Faith is as Heb 11:1 Now faith is the assurance,the confirmation,the title deed of the things we hope for,being the proof of things we do not see and the conviction of their reality(faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses)
Courage to me is the Spoken word of GOD in my Life as in the Life of Joshua.
Watch this in Scripture?
Jos 1:6 Be strong and of good courage. For you shall divide for an inheritance to this people, the land which I swore to their fathers, to give it to them.
Jos 1:7 Only be strong and very courageous so that you may be careful to do according to all the law which My servant Moses commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right or to the left, so that you may act wisely wherever you go.
Jos 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage. Do not be afraid, neither be dismayed. For the LORD your God is with you in all places where you go.
Courage is Calling , Courage is Faith Unseen.Courage is God's Spoken WORD becoming a reality in Me and through Me and KNOWING GOD IS WITH ME.
Courage is
The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.NELSON MANDELA, Autobiography
Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened. BILLY GRAHAM, Reader's Digest, Jul. 1964
Unless you have courage, a courage that keeps you going, always going, no matter what happens, there is no certainty of success. It is really an endurance race.
HENRY FORD, Theosophist Magazine.
GOD IS WITH YOU,HAVE COURAGE!
