QUESTION AND ANSWER SERIES (Calling)     
TEXT: 1 Kings 19: 15-21
KEY VERSE: Proverb 11: 14: “Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.”
QUESTION: If you are sensing the call of God and you want to respond, but the circumstances around you seem to be beyond your control. How do you go about it Sir?. Maybe you have seen some signs and that you have come from a family that it will be hard for you to get a sponsor and if possible, you are the one trying to work getting one or two things to take care of your family. So by the time you go in like one year or two years for you to go in the calling, probably, maybe at the period your family will feel neglected if possibly I do not want to say they will not have anything to feed on. I am afraid to say that as of that time you say you want to go into the calling, your family now, they will be left out. In fact there will be nobody to care for them. Even to eat is going to be a problem. So in this aspect as a father, I want to hear from you.
ANSWER:  You want to hear from me whether you should do what? Or is it how to go about it, about your calling you are asking about? If you are sensing the call of God, go to senior ministers to advise you, to check on you and direct you. You will have safety, your family will have safety, your life will have safety but if you move on your own, you will fall, you will affect your family, you will affect your life and that is not the way of God. God has not that will that your family should suffer because He said if you cannot feed your family you are worse than an unbeliever. So take enough counsel so that you know exactly how to do it. God has a way.
Note that there is need to pray very well to discern the voice of God calling you, and know exactly what He is calling you to do for Him. Most of the people coming up with testimonies that God called them were never called by God of heaven to ministry. Some heard the call of the devil due to inordinate ambition, self will and pride. Some called themselves into ministry just because they went through Bible school for some months. What have you known about holiness, righteousness and truth before you go about parading yourself as an apostle? Some due to unemployment in the country see ministry as a means of providing employment. Yet others go into ministry for profit making. To make a name for themselves! For such, their god is their belly.
Thought for the day: Note that there is need to pray very well to discern the voice of God calling you,
Song for the day: When He calls me, I will answer….
Bible reading for the day:
Micah 6-7; Revelation 12

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
