1. YOUR DECISIONS WILL DETERMINE YOUR DESTINY! Dear saint of God! Dear friend, God has a whole new dimension for you to live. Where ever you are standing right now, God can move you into higher realms of His Kingdom. You can step into a new calling, fulfillment and contentment in your life. Jesus has prepared all this for you and it is freely available for your right now and here! You just need to make up your mind, direct your life to Jesus and yield yourself under His guidance. Receive the Word of God and the Holy Spirit and let your character be transformed into His image. Then Jesus will take you and lead you into His plans and purposes. Your destiny is not predestined by anything, not by God or some human being, or powers of darkness, or even by your own failures. Your own decisions with God here and now will create your destiny. Receiving Jesus as your Savior and Lord will take you into the whole new realm of God's possibilities and blessings. As a Christian you can continuously choose whether you seek more of God or just settle down in self-satisfaction and passivity. You can be either in the PERMISSIVE will of God or in the PERFECT will of God. The more you allow God to work in you and through you the more you can be in His perfect will and the greater fullness you will find in your life. Without Jesus everyone is bound to death and destruction, but with Jesus we will find the heavenly life and blessing. God had a purpose for your life even before you were born. Your existence on the earth is not a result of any human desire or will, but you exist as the result of the Word of God which He spoke concerning you. God said, let this man or woman be created and therefore you were born. Jer 1:5: BEFORE I FORMED THEE IN THE BELLY I KNEW THEE; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. God knew prophet Jeremiah before he was born, and He has known you in the same way. God had a calling and destiny as the prophet of the old covenant for Jeremiah. And God has a calling and destiny in Jesus Christ for you too. God has prepared you an ever increasing glory in Jesus. This glory has no limits, no end, no measurable dimensions. It only increases according to your devotion and yielding to God. Eph 1:3-5: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will. God has prepared for us such a heavenly position, life and blessing in Jesus that we are never able to repossess it fully on the earth. There is always more of God available for us. Everything is prepared in the salvation of Jesus, and therefore your destiny and calling depends on your response to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The more you have Jesus in you and working through you the greater plans of God will be open for you. Everything depends on your yielding to Jesus through the Holy Spirit. God has His purpose, His task and His ministry for every man on the earth. God has innumerous levels of anointing and various ministries for everyone to live and minister, according to the maturity, obedience and desires of each one. If you let the Holy Spirit reveal you greater realms of God and you start hunger more of God, you will be walking on the road which will increase in the glory and power of God! Let the hunger and thirst break out in your heart and you will be engaged in God's heavenly plan for your life! 2. GOD'S PLAN IS THE BEST FOR YOU The best plan for your life comes through Jesus. He is the only God and only He can satisfy the deepest desires of your heart. You need to be convinced about that. You will never find a true satisfaction in this world. If you let your flesh rule your life, you will only have disappointment and failure after the other. Let the Holy Spirit take over your spirit and lead you into heavenly life and glory in Jesus. Then you will have happiness, satisfaction and fulfillment that surely fills you with abundant peace and joy. Jesus may have already spoken to you through visions, dreams and His word about future things which seem unreal or impossible to you at that moment. Your natural mind can not find out a way how everything could happen, but Jesus has supernatural capacity to make it happen in your life. He needs only your faith and obedience! When you let the Holy Spirit clarify your vision He will also give you creative ideas how you can start stepping into the plan of God. Catching the vision by faith causes it to start coming true! You must start doing bold choices in order to fulfill your vision. Too many God given visions have been buried in the cemeteries because of passivity, false teaching and ignorance. But there is a different way too! You can catch the fire of God and let it work in you. Let the Holy Spirit inspire you daily to take brave and determined actions towards the call of God. Your past defeats or sins will never be any hinder for you because Jesus has already forgiven you everything. You just need to receive it, live it through and let the new creation rule in you by the Holy Spirit. Jesus has not only pardoned your sins but He has removed them away from you! They do not exist anymore and God Himself refuses to see them also. Can you receive this supernatural salvation in Jesus for you right now? Neither your present weakness nor your problems will be any problem because Jesus has already delivered you from all bondages of darkness. Jesus is just waiting for you in order to deal with all your problems and bring you solutions and make you a way into His calling. Stop hesitating and wavering in your heart! No more listening to human opinions and seeking the favor of men! The time of insignificance and frustration is over. This is the time to rise up and step into heavenly purpose and goal. It is time to make divine decisions under the leadership of Jesus, your Master. It is all right to get fully tired with the powerless religion and start searching out the resurrection power of Jesus Christ! You may have to leave behind many habits and connections which used to give comfort to the desires of your flesh. The decision towards God will lead you into dramatic change in all areas of your life. You need to count the costs, but you need also to be aware of the heavenly reward that is waiting for you. Your heart must be in balance with your decisions. Then you can win every trial on the way. Direct your life desperately towards Jesus and let Him lead you. Then you will never fail. When you are in the plan of God you will get the credit from Jesus Himself. This new life will give you the best satisfaction and it will be worth of all efforts! John 6:68-69: Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. 3. THE HARVEST IS PLENTIFUL BUT WORKERS ARE FEW! The Kingdom of God is continuously suffering from the lack of workers! This is simply because God always wants to do more than we would assume. If anyone wants to work for God, He will immediately take him into His training and start purifying, equipping and transforming for the greater ministry than expected! Jesus is offering you a wonderful heavenly job description. He needs only that you are willing to be filled with the Holy Spirit and be available for His purposes. You can start working in his vineyard at the eleventh hour and you still get the same reward as those who have been working in the heat of the day already. God wants to manifest Himself in every area of His creation on the earth. His light and life are needed everywhere. The Kingdom of God is in the Holy Spirit and every believer should be a carrier of His Kingdom. Every child, student, worker, man and woman is a potential worker of the Kingdom of God in those circumstances he/she is living. Everyone is called to proclaim good news about Jesus, every believer is called to heal the sick, to cast out demons and to be salt on the earth. 1 Pet 2:9: But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light; The Kingdom of God is a totally different than the churches on the earth. In the Old Covenant the priests were ordained to worship God, but in the New Covenant all believers are called and authorized to worship God. This new order has broken down every border and order which were known in the Old Covenant. There are still specially assigned ministries of God which are not mixed to earthly business. These offices are apostles, prophets, teachers, evangelists and pastors. If you are called to some of these offices, you will have a life long commitment and unusual devotion to God. Everyone do not have this kind of calling, but everyone is called to be filled with the Holy Spirit, to be full of faith and glory of God. Everyone is called to carry the fire of God and ignite people around. Mark 16:15-18: And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 4. THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS INCREASING ALL THE TIME One of the amazing characters of the Kingdom of God is it's everlasting increase, expansion, transformation and development. All the time God is creating new things in heaven and on the earth. God's perfect plan is not yet ready, but when it will be ready, everyone will confess that it is perfect, brilliant and totally amazing! The Kingdom life takes you into this surprising change, restoration and transformation. There will be no end to your personal transformation, because it will continue even in the heaven. We need to learn this life style on the earth in order to fit into the heavenly world. The glory of God's Kingdom is so immense and powerful that it will sweep you along. You will be living more and more in His spiritual realm. You will be lost in God! This is your goal. God wants that you would live eternally with Him. He loves and longs after you and prepares you a way to be transformed into His image. He imparts into you heavenly characteristics and supernatural life which will manifest also on the earth through your ministry. God will use any talents, capabilities or resources you have. Nothing will be wasted in Kingdom's economy. If you are missing some capacity or knowledge in your ministry God will create those in you. God will touch all areas of your life where darkness has been destroying you. Jesus will reimburse you the stolen blessings. He will change your destiny and turn it to glorify His victory over sin, sickness and death. Any accident, any disaster or iniquity can be an inspiration to seek the Lord and an ever increasing motivation to find out the supernatural solution from God. When you keep seeking and receiving His life for yourself, you will soon be able to share your blessings to a great number of other people who need solutions from God! You need to accept the up-bringing of God in your life. Do not hurry before the Lord, but keep going forward according to His leading. God will know when you are ready and mature to the next level of His plan. Keep on asking and receiving His power and anointing. Learn to act in faith, listening and obeying the voice of the Holy Spirit. Let Jesus give you victories over bitterness, frustration, pride, greed, fear and other 'lions' and 'bears' in your life. Your inner life with Jesus is the source of your new ministry. The ministry will be born in your spirit and from your heart it will start working in your understanding and lead decisions of your will. When you have got strengthened inside then you will be able to take actions in order to start your ministry. Your first congregation will be your own family. Then God will call you to minister other people and might lead you to any nation for the work of the gospel. God has set no limits for your anointing. He will always have more for you than you would be able to understand or conceive! Your limits are in your mind, in your faith and in your yielding to God. Let the revelation of Jesus extend your spirit and understanding for greater visions. Rule your life according to the word of God and according to the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Then you will reach your high calling and heavenly destiny! Make a decision like Paul did: Phil 3:14: I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 5. WHAT DOES "HIGH CALLING" MEAN IN MY EVERYDAY LIFE? You can have a "high calling" in any service and profession where you are allowed and able to practice God's word and His principles. You can be filled with the amazing power of the Holy Spirit in any profession and bring the salvation, truth and love of God there. You can live in the glory of God and be a strong witness of Jesus and touch your family, colleges, neighbors and any people around you. Being filled with the Holy Spirit you can be a channel of God's healing power any time, at home, in the office, school, shops, airplanes and anywhere! Your "high calling" is to be in Jesus all the time and let Jesus manifest Himself through you all the time. Jesus wants to make you dependent on Him but independent on this world and on the will and opinions of other people. He wants to lead you into a life style where you continuously are aware about the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Jesus wants you to be awake to perform any tasks He shows you. Unlimited resources of God are all the time available for you. Being connected to the heavenly supernatural resources means a high calling for you. God will equip you for those works He calls you to do. You will have an individual anointing and individual calling. Your ministry can not be compared to someone else's ministry. You will have your unique gifts and anointing. That will be just for you and that will make you fully qualified to perform anything needed in your calling. Do not be afraid when you recognize yourself to be unable or inadequate. When you are fully convinced about your need of God to help you, then He will quickly come and equip you! Never count the anointing for granted. Never become arrogant or self-satisfied, because all anointing in you is only the presence of Jesus and it does not come from you. You are chosen as His servant only through His great mercy! Give always all the glory and honor to God alone. Give God all honor and glory, praise Him and worship Him! Just be an open channel of His love, mercy and glory. 1 Cor 9:19: For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more. 6. HOW TO GROW IN THE PERSONAL CALLING? Following practical advises will help you growing in your calling. God will guide you through His training program which has already been and will be tailor-made for you only. The Holy Spirit will give you perfect and detailed advise. These principles will help you to concentrate your efforts in right areas. 1) Consider Jesus as your Savior, Master, Teacher and Goal in everything. Jesus overcame the social, religious and family boundaries and grew in perfect obedience into His unique ministry. All fullness and glory of God is in Jesus and He is powerful and willing to empower you to perform anything He will ask you to do. 2) Commit your life wholeheartedly to Jesus. Accept His goals as your own goals. Accept His character to be your character. Apply His love and compassion in meeting your neighbors. 3) Count the costs of your decision to follow Jesus. You need to become free from the favor of men, from any slavery, control or manipulation. Jesus has called you into perfect freedom in the Holy Spirit. Never be ashamed of the manifestations and power of the Holy Spirit. Let your flesh die, let the mind of Christ grow in you. 4) Let the heavenly vision brighten up day by day. Look with the eyes of your spirit the wonderful plan of salvation of God and the manifestation of His love and grace. You can stand any hardship and trial when your motives are His love and compassion only. 5) Study God's word, hunger and receive more of the Holy Spirit daily. Let the Holy Spirit strengthen, refresh and transform you daily. Let His advice lead you in every decision and give you courage to take actions which will lead you forward in your calling. 6) Recognize the territory of your anointing, do not try to operate outside of your authorization. Seek to stay in a flow where your anointing works and increases. Do not compare your situation with anybody else. Matt 16:24-27: Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. With love in Jesus Christ  |
