MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO
ONCE YOU HEED THE CALL
John 4:34, KJV
"Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work."
Once you discover your calling and heed same, you have a thing to pursue. Calling is not for the lazy and if you've been afore lazy, it's time to labour and stretch to the length of your calling at heeding same. Calling gives you a meat to eat daily. It gives you something to muse over, busy with, take thought on and give concentration to above others. God does not intend that any man of the calling will live lackadaisically. Jesus modeled same to us through His life here. The disciples couldn't get Him to eat. He had seen the greatest muse, the very purpose for which He's alive to live for. He told them, "my meat is to do the will of He that sent me and to finish His work." A called man knows what to live for and prioritize above others.
"My meat is to do the will..."
One, it is not Jesus' will but the will of He that sent Him. Your calling is not what you string together but what is given you to manifest on earth. Like a coding, it'll be left in you. It'll be so clear to you that you'll know what God in heaven declares you to be separate from who or what you shouldn't be. Personal discernment would always be there.
"to do the will of He that sent Me."
Jesus is sent. Every man of the calling is sent. None sends himself. Coupled with their being sent is a message to preach or an act to manifest. As long as you're raised and sent by God, you'll have your own manifestation.
"And to finish His work..."
Only few in the Bible ever finished the work given them. That is their allocation. Once you start doing the calling and living it out daily, you'll have a witness if you're really progressing or not. Till now, no device has been invented to measure the level of inner satisfaction coming from doing the calling or not. However, each person will have discernment as to whether he's fulfilled or not. If you're being fulfilled but there's still much land to cover, you'll receive a beckoning in your spirit to pursue after another thing that God is shining in you. This is how somebody's work as the called don't finish until it is finished. Some began with a lone church and moved to having branches in their nations. Then, they moved on the media. From there, they had a drive to go to other nations. From there, they built great schools, orphanages and hospitals. It just continues on and on like that. This is how each thing that you ought to do next will be manifesting itself to you until you have totally finished His work. Anything any calling founds is actually not for that calling but for people to tap into. This is why we have to pray for anyone anywhere carrying calling that they'll find it to express. If not, humanity somewhere will suffer it.
It's therefore my prayer that as you push to do what you've found as food, God will help you to finish this His very will so that you might confess even like Paul that you've finished your course (II Tim.4:7).
PRAYER: Invigorate me with passion, vision and energy to pursue calling and purpose anew.
