The Call of God

I was listening to the sermon from the 3 day fasting at Times Square Church, Pastor Patrick Pierre delivered a message from God that stresses the importance of being faithfull to the call of God, living our lives guided by the Holy Spirit, and seeking God daily.

On the 1st day, Pastor David Wilkerson the founding Pastor of Times Square Church told the story of Jonah and how Jonah wasn't being faithful to the call of God to preach at the city of Nineveh.

As I was listening to the two sermons, the Holy Spirit began to make connection with some of the things I was struggling in my spiritual walk.

Here's my story:

Many days I have spent wondering where my life is heading, whether I would like the place, career, or lives that God would bring me into.

It worried me so much in terms of what I should have been doing with my time.

Right now, I have two different jobs. I intern with a company in the morning helping out its Human Resource department, and in the afternoon, I work at a school in an after school program.

I don't even know where God is leading me next. And just by the nature of it, my jobs have absorbed a lot of energies and time: and with all this planning in place still I don't know where I am going.

After listening to the sermon, I had realized that a lot of times, I had spent stressing so much about my own plan and forgetting about the plan that God has for me. I can see that my actions are not agreeing with the fact that God's plan is better than mine.

And I also see that the focus for God's plan are totally different than mine. One is more unselfish than the other.

Everytime I pull my life into my own direction, I am slanting it from God's original plan. And overtime, I can miss God's target for my life.

Being faithful to your call is not easy. Sometimes, we don't see the result right away. Sometimes, we don't get anything back. But, we know that we know that God will always help us along the way.

I would just say one more thing: Be faithful to the call that God has for you.

Blessings,
