Chapter two- Calling


Many were called by God: " As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector's booth." Follow me, " he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him." (Matthew 9:9) Jesus never spoke twice; Matthew heeded the first time and immediately got up and followed Jesus.

Paul was called by the will of God and he definitely believed in his calling because he taught people the ways and will of God. As a servant called by God, I have to believe in my calling. Many times I stopped believing in my calling and what God was saying to me, I was not following His will because I doubted my calling.

If Paul had not believed in his calling, his character would have remained the same as he used to be a liar, persecutor, murder etc. He believed that his calling was not by chance, God saw a man of courage; a man who believes in his convictions; a man that was prepared to die for what he believed in - The gospel of Christ, a man who was willing to go all over the world and save those were in the hands of the evil one.

If I do what Paul did- believe in my calling, believed that I was called to make a difference in the world. God said many are called but few are chosen. I have to fight to be among the chosen ones of God, so do you, "Matthew 4:18". This calling is individual and is up to you to follow it, don't look back; in you there's great potential to be a tool of God.
