THE CALL OF GOD:



THE CALL OF GOD:

Jesus last words on earth :

{ Matt 28: 18 – 20 } Go and make disciples of all the Nations.

{ Mark 16: 15 – 16 } Go into all the world ad preach the gospel to all creation.

{ Luke 24: 46 – 49 } Repentance for the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in His name to all the Nations. You are my witnesses of these things.

{ Acts 1: 3 – 8 } You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit come upon you and you shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria and even to the remotest part of the earth.

Calling of God:

{ Romans 10: 13 } Those who call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

{ Matt 9: 13 } Jesus did not come to call the righteous but sinner … yet all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God { Romans 3: 23 }

{ Matt 22: 14 } Many are called by few are chosen.

{ 1 Cor 1: 17 – 31 } Preach the gospel Christ crucified. Consider your calling not many wise, not many mighty, not many noble but God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things that are strong. He has chosen the things that are not that we might nullify the things that are.

{ 2 Peter 1: 10 } Be certain about His calling & choosing you if you practise these things you will never stumble.

{ Romans 11: 29 } The gifts and calling of God are irrevocable.

Preach the Gospel:

{ Acts 10: 38 } Peter speaking - You know how Jesus was anointed with the Holy Spirit and Power and went around doing good and healing all those who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.

{ Romans 15: 18 – 21 } Paul said I will not presume to speak on anything except what Christ has accomplished through me, resulting in obedience of the Gentile by word and deed in the power of signs & wonders, in the Power of the Spirit. To Jerusalem, to ends of the earth I have fully preached the gospel of Jesus Christ. And to preach the gospel where Jesus has not been named.

{ 1 Thess 1: 5 – 8 } Gospel did not come to you in word only, but in power of the Holy Spirit and with full conviction.

Live by Faith:

{ Hab 2: 4 } The righteous will live by his faith.

{ Eph 2: 8 } By grace you have been saved through faith.

{ Heb 11 : 1 – 19 } Faith is assurance of things hoped for conviction of things not seen. Things seen made out of the things in the invisible realm. Abel son of Adam was killed through jealousy by his own brother. He was willing to offer up an animal and kill it knowing God could raise the dead by faith? Or replace it. It cost him something.

{ Gen 4: 25 – 26 } God gave Adam & Eve another son Seth in place of the death of Abel. And to Seth was born a son Enosh and then men began to call upon the name of the Lord.

Enoch’s witness on earth was pleasing to God and the so he didn’t see death and was taken up into Heaven. Must believe who God is and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him. Noah being warned by God about things not yet seen prepared an ark for the salvation of his household. By faith Abraham went out when he was Called, obeyed going out to receive his inheritance not knowing where he was going.

He lived as an alien in the land of promise, dwelling in tents, looking for the city made by God. Sarah conceived a son through a man who was as good as dead. Promise that through his seed { son } he would have descendants that would be as numerable as the star in heaven and the sand on the seashore. Seeking a better country a heavenly one.

By faith Abraham then offered up his promise/seed/son and considered that God could even bring him back from the dead.

Examples of People who lived by Faith: { Heb 11 }

Noah { Gen 6: 9 } He walked with God and was righteous and blameless.

Abraham { Gen 12: 1 – 4 } Calls him out from his country and relatives and fathers house. To go to be blessed so he may be a blessing to the Nations.

Jacob { Gen 27 & 28 } Flees to Haran to Laban Rebekah’s brother. Dream ladder set on earth reaching into heaven. Abrahams promise of the descendants to bless the earth.

Joseph { Gen 37 } has a dream at age 17 and is confronted by jealousy and his own brothers try and kill him and is eventually sold into slavery and ends up in Egypt.

{ Gen 41 } Stands before the Pharaoh and becomes a great deliverer but it takes 20 years.

Moses { Ex 1 – 4 } Orphaned as a child, goes into a new home and rises to be the son of the Pharaoh. Tries in his own strength to set his people free and end up killing a man. Has to flee his home into the wilderness of Midian. Angel of the Lord appears to him in the burning bush of fire. Called to set God’s people free and ends up leading the children of Israel out of Egypt to the Promised Land.

Joshua { Joshua 1- 6 } leads the people across the Jordon into the Promised Land after being in the wilderness for 40 years.

First the leaders go into exile and the wilderness and then the body of believers go through it. We can only lead others where we have already gone.

Rahab { Joshua 2 } Receives and lodges the spies, as servants of the Lord and her family’s life is spared.

Ruth { Ruth 1: 16 – 19 } Ruth and Naomi where you go I will go where you lodge I will lodge your people will be my people your God my God. They leave Moab and return to Naomi’s home Bethlehem.

Samuel { 1 Sam 1 – 3 } is dedicated to the Lord as a child and as soon as he is weaned given to the ministry and stays with Eli the priest of the Lord. Adopted into a new home and begins to hear the Lord speak to him audible voice.

David { 1 Sam 16: & } God looks at the heart not the outward appearance. Ends up fleeing into the wilderness and hunted by an insecure King who wants his son to be King when he dies. Saul ends up being killed and also his son Jonathan. David losses his wife and all his possessions just before he is made King and manages with the help of God to recover everything { 1 Sam 30: 1 – 20 }

JESUS : Left heaven and came to earth to SAVE THE WORLD. { John 3: 17 }

Disciples: Jesus calls them to leave everything to follow him. Come and I will make you fishers of men. { Matt 4: 19 }

Count the Cost: { Luke 14: 28 – 33 } Count the cost and choose.

Deny your self { Mark 8: 34 – 35 } Take up your cross … no rights.

Authority : All authority is given … go and make disciples of all the Nations.

e.g. David . Harp – Slingshot – killing 1000’s – 10,000’s – Cities – conquering Nations.

Fighting with the sword of a Giant.

GO – PREACH GOSPEL – SAVE THE WORLD
