WHILE ON OTHERS THOU ART CALLING - Pass Me Not Series 001
Matthew 4:18-22, KJV
"18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. 19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him 21 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. 22 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him."
Brethren, our prayer, our high prayer this year (this early year) should be, "while on others Thou art calling, do not pass me by." It's a great reality, passage could be made and you'll be there nonchalant and non involved. But while on others Thou (God) art calling, do not pass me by. Jesus begin to call and collect disciples for Himself. First, it was Peter and Andrew. Second, it was James and John. He called them and they heeded. Things of God is set by set. Those four are a set. They began together and at the same time. God is faithful and He will come for you too. May you however recognize your divine moment. Moment do slip but you must recognize your time and latch unto it.
There's a season that entry into a thing is best. That is, "while on others He is calling." When others are being collected to be groomed somewhere and given a future in a sector, don't be left behind especially if the call as well is extended to you. It is while on others Thou art calling, do not pass me by. You must rather learn how to count yourself in; how to simply take opportunities. Jesus called the two brothers ahead first and then he called some other two. Four of them heeded the call and made use of the opportunity that has appeared to all men (all of them). That call could have been wasted by one or some of them however.
Brethren, it's a great blessing to know when God is passing and then latch unto same. When God is passing and you carefully join to Him, in days to come, you shall see its great effect. In destiny, we all know what those four brothers became though James died earlier but entry into calling for all of them came at the same time - at a time it was difficult transiting. If you don't know, it's difficult leaving one job for the other but the call hit them and the report was "straightway, they left all to follow Him." Call may be to different things or aspects. It may be a call to start a thing. One man of God by God's instruction told God's mind to two people in his congregation. One was his wife, whom God told to go on TV at that time and another woman was she who God told to found a school. His own wife received it with faith while the other woman treated it shabbily. Because of the rejoicing and faith that minister's wife received hers with, faith became a force, went into propelling, made demands on God and even the kick-starting money for the programme was provided for by the Lord. It was that time a sister who was once under that pastor in Nigeria but then in Sweden sent some money - just enough required for payment at that broadcasting station. The other woman neither received the seed nor start by faith immediately. And that was it. She never really prospered when she later wanted to start. That's because the grace of beginning or starting passed her by. If God appears by prophecy and says, "someone is here who's sick of A or B, signify and you'll be healed." If the fellow doesn't but later comes to show himself to the minister, there's little or nothing he could do. Do you know why? The anointing was present to deal with that special problem there and then but now the man or minister might have become like any other. God might have lifted on him for the meanwhile. So, the moment none responds to that, such might lose an opportunity of being healed there and then also but rather be passed by. You can't accuse God of being unjust. The words He speaks to the first brothers were the words He speaks to the second brothers. Thank God all of them heeded and Jesus didn't pass them by. You too, you're solely accountable for what you do with your own words, opportunities and the call of God to you. If God calls you, it means He wants to make you. He wants to give you a destiny somewhere. At least we know He made them fishers of men - great apostles of the calling. What if you do not heed? What if God passes by you just like that? What if while others God is calling, you're deaf and nonchalant to the future he has for you? Then, you may reap the reward of Esau who sought it with tears yet receives it not (Heb.12:17). Therefore, make a commitment this year that while others God art calling, you will never for once be passed by. You'll rather make utmost use of the time, call and become great through the words of prophecy, calling and grace of beginning.
PRAYER: Hook my spirit and mind to divine moments and special people of destiny this year. None will pass me by.
