Calling

Acts 9:1-22
It is a great passage about the conversion of Saul. Saul was a man who persecuted the disciples of Christ. But, God has appeared to him and Saul trembles on his knees and becomes blind. The Lord calls Ananias to heal Saul but Ananias was skeptical because of Saul's previous actions. But in faith Ananias goes to heal Saul and to give him sight through the power of Christ. And Saul was greatly changed due to the calling Christ has given to him and went on changing the lives of many and many were astonished.
Like Saul, we were all in darkness. We rebelled against God and all we wanted to do is to sin. But God appeared to us and dramatically changed our lives. God's calling for us is mainly to reach the lost and to preach the Gospel to all nations! In this passage, it shows two callings. The calling of not only Saul but also the calling of Ananias. Ananias was very doubtful of whether or not he should go to Saul and recover his sight. But in FAITH, he went out and did what the Lord has called him to do and therefore changed the life of Saul.
After Saul changed and accepted Christ into his life, he lives a totally different lifestyle. Others around him were extremely shocked because of his dramatic change through the power of the Cross. We should also have the same effect in our own schools. Are we the difference in our own schools? Do we shine that light of Christ and are we grateful for this Gospel message we believe in? God used a man like Saul, who persecuted the disciples, to change the entire history of mankind. Are we going to be like Saul, a history maker, or are we going to continue living our lives without showing the power of the Gospel. We have to fall on our knees and repent before God and then God will use us to expand His kingdom and to fulfill His will for you on this earth.
Luke 4:18-19
"The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poorl He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To et a liberty those who are oppressed; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord."
As Christians, don't we have the same calling Christ had on this earth? We should strive to be like our Saviour and God's calling for us is far greater than what we have in plan for ourselves.
But we also do have minor callings in our life also. Like, what job to take or where is God taking me with my life? If we live according to the Bible and in prayer and really seeking after God and our foundation is on the Gospel, it will be easier to find our callings and plans in our lives.
What has God called you to do?
