Isaiah8:8 Then I heard the Lord asking, “Whom should I send as a messenger to this people? Who will go for us?”
I said, “Here I am. Send me.” NLT
Some persons have asked If God punishes those who refused to heed His call. This question stem from the fact most of them have heard some preachers who shared their sordid experience about what happened when they didn't answer God's call into the ministry.
In my opinion, I think it is the devil that punished them not God. Why did I say that, when we walk in disobedience, we give Satan the legal right to deal with us but when we walk in obedience, we are under God's protective covering. You have no genuine reason to live in disobedience, just obey.
Maria Woodworth Etter lost five of her children because she lived in disobedience to God's call upon her life. In her days, it was unpopular for women to preach. Out of fear and timidity, she declined God's call severally.
Her disobedience opened the door to untimely death. At the age of forty, she said yes to the call of destiny. Her ministry was supernatural and unique during the revivals in U.S.A. In Pennsylvania, police reported that there were no criminals because of the impact of her ministry.
God is seeing the myriads of problems the human race is facing today, many are dying in sin daily, the sick are increasing, the destitutes and the hungry are increasing by the number, the homeless cannot be counted, economies in the world are melting down.
People are crying in pain and agony daily unto God but God is looking for a 'messiah' to send, someone filled with His Spirit and wisdom. Right from the days of Prophet Isaiah, God is still asking 'who will go for us'? Destiny has been calling but only few persons are answering.
The call of destiny is that prompting in your heart you received by the Spirit to launch into a problem-solving assignment. It is the voice asking If you will go and solve a problem here on earth. Answer the call of destiny on your life.
Don't waste time, you'll soon be old and many may die on account of your disobdience and sluggishness.
Stop giving excuses, there are 1001 reasons not to answer the call of destiny and those excuses would always be there. Answering the call of destiny is tied to someone's deliverance, please answer God now.
Father, I receive the grace to heed the call of destiny, I won't delay and I won't waste time In Jesus name. Amen
