God Calls Us in Different Ways

www.youtube.com

God’s call is not limited to a single method or moment. Throughout Scripture, God calls individuals in unique, personal, and purposeful ways. The way God calls one person may be different from how He calls another — yet all are called into relationship, transformation, and mission.

Sometimes God speaks through signs, visions, or remarkable moments to awaken us to our calling. As Christians and believers in the Word of God, we should sometimes pause and think about our purpose in life and ask ourselves if we are moving in the right part of fulfilling the purpose for which God sent us to the world. 

 Scripture tells us about how Nehemiah was called. Sometimes God calls us by placing a strong desire or burden on our hearts. Nehemiah felt a deep concern for Jerusalem, and that concern became a divine call to rebuild its walls. God may stir in us a longing to serve, to help, or to create—and that stirring is often His voice. Scripture also says that God called Peter to lead His church after the resurrection. The point l am trying to make is that, Jesus call us individually and in different ways. It was after the disciples ate the fish they caught by the directive of Jesus at river Tiberius ,that Peter got the calling from Jesus to lead His church – ’Take care of my lambs”, and ‘’Take care of my sheep’. (John, 21: 16-17). What ‘am saying is that we can get our calling after experiencing a terrible situation, a disappointment or what have you. We just have to be conscious of our environment and be calm for us to hear the call from God. God often speaks to us in every day moment through Scripture, in a conversation or a sermon or even through a push in our heart.

The golden question therefore is, are we listening for God’s voice in the quiet places of our lives? Sometimes, life events—both good and challenging—serve as God’s call. A closed door, a surprising opportunity, a moment of crisis, or a season of blessing can all be ways God redirects or confirms our path. Romans 8:28, reminds us that “in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, those whom He has called according to His purpose’’…”

 Nevertheless, no matter how God calls, His desire is for us to respond in faith and obedience. We need to listen carefully and be willing to follow where He leads us. Each call is scared, and when we say ‘’yes ‘’ we then, step into the purpose and destiny that God designed for us.
