YOUR CHILD IS CALLED BY NAME - Your Baby Series 018
Exodus 31:2, 6 KJV
"2 See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah: 6 And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee"
He has a calling! Say, "my child has a calling." Yes, your child has a calling. Anyone with a definite call into a field or an area of life is one called by name into that field. Be it ministry (religion), science and technology, art and entertainment, sports, education or whatsoever, once you're led into any of these, you're called into it assuredly.
What does God tell Moses? "I have called by name Bezaleel...and Aholiab and I have filled them with wisdom in all manner of craftsmanship."
Your child is called. The first misconception about calling or placement is the error that it's only Christian ministers or priests that God do call. Every work or human endeavour is an area God do call people into. As visible as it is for every eyes to see here, God didn't call Bezaleel and Aholiab into spiritual ministry of the Word or what have you like Moses or the Levites. He called them into architecture, engineering, metallurgy, building, carpentry, blacksmithing and every form of craftsmanship that requires maximum dexterity of creativity. These guys are no ordinary guys. They are jack of all trades if you'll hear. As long as the work at hand involves craftsmanship using gold, silver, stone, timber etc, as in working with your hands to build or bring forth a tangibility, these guys can do it. I know you must have heard of such kind of people. He could do wiring, plumbing, carpentry, bricklaying, tiling, painting, printing and just a host of others. You'll then begin to wonder who created him or gave him all those. Some are called to be multifaceted. Meanwhile, as you faithfully set out with the set of skills afore given you, you can have more skills or abilities imparted to you just by using maximally the ones afore given you.
The shocking thing however is that God called them by name. He identified them and separated them to a field he'll like them to be used in. Same way, your child has a calling. He's no ordinary on the surface of the earth. As soon as he's birthed, it should be your responsibility to begin to educate and communicate his destiny to him (as surely received from God).
Jeremiah was called by name to be a prophet of the living God (Jer. 1:5). What differentiates one professional from another is that they have different call. Different call will place you in different fields. However, all of you are still the called of God.
So, be filled with confidence over your child. He's meant to be great on the surface of the earth. Apart from doing God's will, God gives calling for individual fulfilment on earth. Find that calling and order (train) your child to go in that way.
PRAYER: Lord, discover for us all those you have called by name into every area of human endeavour.
