Consider Abram's Example.

During last week’s Saturday night service, Pastor David shared that God calls us, then He prepares us for His kingdom: it is a call for each of us, not just pastors.

This is a repeated theme in Scripture. Canon records a long parade of ordinary, untrained people called to be prophetic voices in their time. We are surprised at God’s demonstration of favor to men and women we would be inclined to dismiss as unqualified (or undeserving) of His commendation.

And, this is a repeated theme in modern life. God, true to His character, continues to call the ordinary and the untrained to step into His grand plan for the world’s salvation, healing, and deliverance. For those of us who have said yes to Him, we have the constant joy of marveling at His ability to work in and through us.

The call of God experienced by Abram (Genesis 12:1-5) can also be experienced by us: God has called you, and me, to support His agenda. He has promised to train and equip us for His projects. And, amazingly, He then commends us for the work that was only made possible by His presence and power. It’s a sweet deal.

Will you say yes to Him?
