Gods chosen will through much to reach that place in him to fulfill their destiny purpose. Many are called but few are chosen. Here are ten test that I believe God will put a person through to purify them and mold them into a chosen vessel He created them to be for His Kingdom here on the earth. 1) Time Test - God will put you on the self for a long time, to produce / develop faith in your life. He will shut every door in your face and seemingly forget about you, is He can look at your motives. Gen 16:1-3 (Abraham and Sara). 2) Word Test - God will test your knowledge of scripture. Things will hit you hard, and there is nowhere else to go but the bible for wisdom. God cannot use you if there is too much flesh in the way. God kills the flesh so that he can get the glory. God will allow you to be betrayed, accused, forgotten, ignored and possible and possibly end up in a dark pit Gen 37: 18-19 (Joseph) 3) Servants Test- God will put you in a place to see if you will serve another man, pastor, ministry. Many want to be leaders, but no one wants to follow. You at times my not know if the man of God is happy or mad. If you cross the line and disrespect the office, you’re out. The man of God is unpredictable you dont know what he might say or do. Being a servant must be the number one thing in your life 1Kings 19:19-21 the bible says Elisha served Elisha possible for years not days, Elijah made life tough for Elisha but he never turned 2 Kings 2:12-14 (A good follower becomes a great leader) 4) Wilderness Test - God will put you through the most difficult period of your life to get the world out of your system, so you dont enjoy the things of the world ( be in the world but not of the world) this test is to get Egypt out of you. Then God will purify you, and you will have no other choice but to seek God. You will lose your friends, those people you enjoy being with. God will take them away. You will become uncomfortable with what use to be comfortable. Its in this way we learn the ways of the Spirit Ex 16:2-3 (Israelites & Moses) 5) Patience Test- As long as Hes ministering to you is how long it is. Its His time not yours Pr 14:27 (David waiting on God) 6) Frustration - You will become frustrated with your life and the way things are going it Galatians 6:7-9 (reaping and sowing) Rom 8:23 (what we go through is going to work for our good) 7) Discouragement to the limit test - I cannot handle it any more, you get is very discouraged, to help you focus back on the calls when your discourage Is 41:10 (God is with us in the mist of our situations?) 8) War Test - God test you’re fighting ability Devils take no rest nor should we. Eph 6: 10-13 (How we prepare for battle) 9) Vision Test - God will test your vision to see if you can look into the spirit and judge what you see 1 John 4:1 (judgment of spirits needed by those that are chosen) 10) Promotion Test - He will test you to see if you can handle exaltation. Can you handle it when people start to clap? Will you become proud and arrogant? Will you push you sir. Away? Dont dishonor the man or women of God by talking the mantle before they give it to you. James 4:10 (Can you remain humble in your promotion) Are you Chosen by God but not passing the test? John 15:16 we are God’s chosen. We must go through the fire to be stripped of Egypt to walk holy and righteous before Him
