THE CALLING OF GOD

“Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall.” 2 Peter 1:10

There is a difference between a desire and the true calling of God. A lot of people have a desire to be a missionary, but when they come here and face loneliness, a different culture of people, the heat, lack of finances, and of course now the gangs and no fuel… everyone is afraid. Many people never leave their house. Just yesterday, two people who live here in Fond Parisien were kidnapped.

I’ve seen many people come and go here in Haiti. Many realized they were not truly called of God. Yet God used this experience in their lives.

The true calling of God means, “All the demons in Hell cannot stop you!” You may be a missionary to Africa, South America, China, or Haiti. You know the calling of God is in your life.

Many people ask me, “How can you and Sherry ever live in Haiti?” I always tell them this… “It’s not a sacrifice, but a joy to say yes to Jesus!”

Is the Lord calling you to go into the regions beyond for him? “Yes, Lord, here am I, use me.”
