 The call of God

The three pointers on the call of god

  • The calling belongs to the Lord and not yours
  • This will not fail
  • We need to start preparing

Calling pointers  - Everyone has a calling from God

Verse: Jeremiah 4:3

This is what the Lord says to the people of Judah and Jerusalem: “Plow up the hard ground of your hearts! Do not waste your good seed among thorns.

Preparing ourselves analogy is presented in this verse - plow up the hard ground. This preparations means that we need to give us our pride.... our own ideas and come to God in Prayer

The hard ground...

Any farmer would know that the first thing that needs to happen is breaking the hard ground.... and this is hard work.

Breaking up the ground means that the hard rocks will have to be removed or broken.... this could be habits, living holy, forgiving someone etc 

The thorns...

The second thing the verse is talking about not wasting good seed among the thorns. If we complacent about being careful in our thought ..... we are wasting our time.

Here is one thought process that is wrong - self pity..... 

"Before God can give your divine assignment you need  divine alignment"

Verse: Jeremiah 4:4

O people of Judah and Jerusalem, surrender your pride and power. Change your hearts before the Lord, or my anger will burn like an unquenchable fire because of all your sins.

Change your heart "The heart of the matter is the matter of the heart"

The resolution or the matter of the heart 

  • Unresolved baggages
  • Un crossed bridges
  • Unfounded fears


Unresolved Baggages - un forgiveness

Financial Awareness Day 2025

Financial Awareness Day 2025 Financial Awareness Day, observed annually on August 14th. Financial awareness is important because we navigate through life using money/finance as one of the tools. As part of the awareness, there is one practice, we all need to stay clear off - Financial Impropriety. The term Financial Impropriety encompasses a range of unethical behaviour related to handling money. And this was the first sin of the church and is something that is most overlooked. We see this story in Acts 5  Ananias and Sapphira The story of Ananias and Sapphira is told and interpreted where the couple paid for their lies (related to money). While this is true, most people don't investigate why this came about. This didn't originate with this couple. The church violated a principle, which is the root of this problem But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing (Matthew 6:3) The church decided acknowledge Barnabas' contribution ...

Happy Men's Day!

Happy Men's Day! Celebrating people is important because it builds community, strengthens relationships, and creates a culture of gratitude and appreciation. We all celebrate Women's Day. However, men often are not excited about any kind of celebration meant for them. That is because we are already having such a good time.... and every day!!! We don't need a special day. Here are some examples Men can call upon higher powers to validate their claims.  With Christ as my witness, I speak with utter truthfulness. My conscience and the Holy Spirit confirm it."  (Romans 9:1) This is very helpful in situations where our plans fail. So we compare our word, to unwavering Word of Jesus himself 18 As surely as God is faithful, our word to you does not waver between “Yes” and “No.” 19 For Jesus Christ, the Son of God, does not waver between “Yes” and “No.” He is the one whom Silas, Timothy, and I preached to you, and as God’s ultimate “Yes,” he always does what he says.  (1 Corin...

Kill the Babies!!!

Morality Standards A picture is painted of a potter fashioning clay to his liking. And this animated picture brings life to the clay, with the clay protesting the Potters's design. This surprised Potter asks "Can I not do with you, Israel, as this potter does?" Jeremiah 18:5 NIV It seems completely reasonable and moral that the Potter is allowed to shape the clay to his design and liking. Conversely it is unreasonable and immoral for the clay to protest the Potter's design.   "You turn things upside down, as if the potter were thought to be like the clay!" Isaiah 29:16 NIV And yet, we continue in our unreasonability and turn things upside down. Why does mere clay (or humankind), protest the Potter (or God) on morality. There is no rational position we can take, that justifies our objections. And it is funny that our objections always start with  "If there were a God, He would not have ordered.... Destruction of all living things in the land of Cannan ...
