1.5 Calling Simplified

[Dawn]

We all have different gifts from god, different callings also.

John 15-16

you did not choose me, but chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the father in my name he may give you

[Lorna Anne]

What have you learned that will stay with you the most?

When there is a calling, there is a caller.
When God called, Abraham, Moses and Paul, God communicates, connects, confirm and observed evidence.

[Abayomi]

What I have learnt that will stay with me most is, that i’m God’s plan A, to communicate the gospel and represent Him in the world– that’s an honour i’m grateful for.

Also, God calls you foremost to Himself, speaking your identity, then you are called into His mission, that is, calling you into activity.

That your Family is your primary calling, first to God, before others.

[Karlena]

I think the thing that I have found the most helpful were the practical exercises that were given throughout this lesson (e.g. looking back at past encounters with God and reflecting on how this informs my understanding of how God has shaped and continues to shape both my identity in Him and how this relates to His calling on my life; reflecting on how God has communicated, connected, confirmed, (etc) His calling has also deepened my understanding and awareness of the working of God in my life–listening for themes). These exercises were valuable, as well, in facilitating prayerful encounter with God. During these exercises, there were times of weeping before the LORD and thanksgiving.
