WHEN YOUR CALLING PEEPS OUT - Become Series 003
Exodus 2:11-12, KJV
"11 And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren. 12 And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand."
There are people who have stumbled on their calling like a striker does without still identifying it for what it is. They sure had a peak experience doing that thing but they sure let it go. They couldn't hold unto it, repeat it and live out that same life.
Your calling will peep out. The fact that your calling will peep out might also be reinforcing one fact. That your calling is inside you already and is seeking expression like a flood of waters seeking a water way.
Here's Moses! The activity that pushed him into finding his calling is not as important as his calling that he stumbled on. However, he himself might not know that God has marked that he should be the deliverer of Israel. However, the act of injustice that he so detests spurs his going into action of rebellion against the authority. The Bible says, "looking here and there, and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand."
This is actually the future of Moses he has stumbled on. Daniel Everette, the great linguist started out like this. At the American/Mexican border, he was just interested in the diverse culture and language of the natives. He never knew that this attraction is his calling peeping out and seeking expression. Daniel Everette would later go on to become a world renown linguist and the only one to succeed amidst many who had tried and failed to break the Piraha code of the Piraha people of the Amazon Jungle of the Brazilian Rainforest.
Our calling is inside us. It is inside each of your ward. Observe them and you'll see their calling peeping out to manifest. The time for them to be stabled in their calling might not have arrived but if they're called into that motivation stirring in them, they'll find their way there. God has a way of making the path of anyone meet with his calling. He'll lead, guide and ensure he is mentored in same. Though Moses fled away from Egypt and lived in a foreign land for 40 years, yet his living with Jethro and keeping his sheep is actually the right mentoring programme that God used in reforming his character into that of a shepherd that'll be able to bear with stiff-necked Israel. Later on, we see God calling Moses into his calling at the experience of the burning bush. Today, Moses is one of the famed characters of the Bible not because he once killed an Egyptian but because he eventually led Israel out of captivity and fulfilled his calling as God had ordained.
It is in this light that anyone can understand why God had protected him even when he would have been killed as a baby. The fact that he has a special destiny is revealing in God's commitment to him therefore. Be full of observation, your child would put up act in what he's called. What his future work will be would catch his attention and he might rejoice in it for awhile or often. Once you solidly confirm, don't lose that ground but rather train him in that.
PRAYER: Lord, stir, spur, drive my wards in the direction of their callings. Without an exception, may I act and be directed in the path of my calling.
