TIMELY PROVISION OR CONNECTION ARE IN YOUR CALLING AND ITS DISCOVERY - Separated Unto Purpose Series 005
Luke 2:46, KJV
"And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions."
Did you observe that the doctors were on ground to answer Jesus' questions and put him through? Why? Your calling when it is discovered and taken will gather the resources that it needs for its own fulfilment by itself.
If I share testimonies with you, I hope you'll be edified. To the least of the books and movies I watch, they are carefully chosen and suggested materials to me by my calling. One day, I had worn out all the books I could lay my hands on ever written on purpose. Then, I began to flip through the pages of a book I was not seriously considering to read. I was just flipping through and reading certain places for the purpose of redeeming my time. However, I had earlier prayed with utmost desire that the next book to read on fulfilment of purpose and equipping of my calling would be met. As I flipped on through this book of Pastor Sunday Adelaja, I suddenly saw where it was written that "a book by XYZ author is entirely based on purpose, its discovery and fulfilment". Shockingly and funnily enough, I've had that book downloaded on my laptop over three years ago. I once started reading it but for some reasons dropped it.
Immediately I read that recommendation, I took it as God's answer to my prayer and immediately guided myself to the book. Believe it, I read over sixty pages of that book that night only. I read it late into the midnight to finish it the next day. God so much cares about my education to the extent that he allows me to come across the very information and materials I needed per time. One time also, I needed another King James Version of the Bible. I had a description in my mind on the kind it should be. I only have two in my house amidst other numerous versions that I own with which I do comparative study. However, those two are now in the hands of my wife and sibling. That desire for a new KJV Bible continued to burn for awhile in me until I boarded a public transport one day. The driver was a rough man - a rascal and tout. The cuts on his faces and his rough way of speaking proves that. Sitting in front by his side, I saw a large sized book right overboard. I examined it and found it to be a KJV BIBLE. I was drawn to it thinking particularly it was a book I could beg to own. I never knew it was a Bible because the hardcover was only made of glossary paper. So, I let it alone after the discovery of what it was. As we journeyed on, my mind kept going back to it. God was saying, "ask for it now. That's your request". As he stopped over at my busstop, I summoned courage to ask for it. The rest was history. Opening the Bible, I saw it was as neat as anything on the inside though the paper cover seems to have been covered in dust. Believe it, it's still that same Bible I'm using till date. It's the exact I wanted. I therefore cherishes it a lot.
So, when you heed your calling, resources automatically comes allocated with it to you. As you desire, you'll see God gives you quick answers because He knows you're where you're serving His will and furthering His purpose. That's God's doing though it might be marvelous, shocking and surprising to you. However, that's how God works. At tarrying behind in Jerusalem, the teachers of the law that could help impact knowledge and answer Jesus' questions were automatically prepared to be on ground. All of them were not only available, they gave Jesus their time. None of them despised him for being a curious child. As such, Jesus' waiting was to an end. He reaped the benefit of having waited. If you'll leave vanity and go into your calling today or begin its operation, you'll forever witness miracles at junctures of needs. Be assured, provision will never be scarce for you. That's because even where there's none, the Lord shall provide. Yes, even on the mountain of the Lord! That's what your calling will become. For anyone who won't shrink back but operate his calling, it shall be indeed said that God is his God. They shall meet many miracles on the way proving therein is the path they should have trodden indeed.
PRAYER: Father, give me courage to be turned away from vanity into the operation of my calling.
