WHY PEOPLE OPERATE LESSER THAN THEIR CALLING

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you;] ordained you a prophet to the nations.”

Jeremiah 1:5

Every Christian was called for the work of ministry. Many do not want to accept that they were called but that is not true from the biblical point. The devil wants people to operate below their calling or gifting. You are not a threat to the devil by being settled in salvation; you are a threat to the devil in your calling. Your calling is what carries an anointing that destroys the yoke, the kingdom of the devil and his activities. Satan will throw everything in your way either to keep you from your calling or pervert your call. He will do everything to prevent and fight you from manifesting your calling. You must make up your mind never to allow yourself to be ejected from your calling. This is why you have to know how to fight the good fight of faith and develop competence in spiritual warfare. You are called to fight the fight of faith. That is the fight to keep your calling.

When a man obeys God’s call, it will introduce some battles into his life whether he likes it or not. Some individuals have left their calling due to the operation of the devil who discouraged or weakened them by using no or little result in the place of their God-given destiny against them. Understand that you are to accept the calling to obey God and not necessarily for success. Do not let the devil get you out of the calling because of the Success Syndrome. The devil can offer you false blessings or breakthroughs if that will make you sacrifice your calling. He did that with Moses, but he failed. It is my prayer that he will fail in your life too.

Prayer: Pray that you will not take alternatives of the devil to your calling.
