MISSIONARY SUNDAY THANK YOU PASTOR STEWART AND MISSIONARY PRESIDENT SIS. MICHELLE LIPSEY FOR GIVEN ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK Answering the call with a open heart, open mind, to open doors Dont get distacted from your call 1 Samuel 3:1-10 When called you have to stay focus and keep God first in your mind your work and your life Its not a good thing to be distacted when you have a call on your life The devil will test your weakness But God will also test your faith and obedience We all have distractions that will keep us from our call that God has created for us. And we focus only on those of limits and “no’s” and “I cant’s”. We do not pursue the vision God puts on our hearts because we are afraid. Sometimes we fail to see the obstacles in front of us with the right outlook. real outlooks leads to possibilities. So the question is…What are we giving God-sized influence to in our lives? what is keeping us from our journey? We should use our energy and time focusing on God and doing what is right. Doing what is right is hard. G.K. Chesterfield said, “The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting: it has been found difficult and left untried.” Samuel the prophet given to God before conceived, found it hard David the shepherd boy that amazing king, found it hard. Distraction comes easily if you aren’t focused on your call. Distractions shouts to us – who cares what God thinks! C’mon Sis Faye, I live in the real world. Everyone I’m around cusses, so I cuss. Everyone I’m around cheats, so I cheat! Everyone get high and drinks, so I get high and drink. People live together before marriage – it’s just part of life. All my friends watch violent fights and bullying on facebook, so I watch them too!” I talk back to my parents, because they talk back to their I dont want to clean my room because I cleaned the kitchen Sometimes I have to look in the mirror and ask, “Are we rationalizing disobedience?
