Calling

Contributed by Mary G. on Dec 10, 2020

We can have whichever vocation we want if it is not sinful and is working wholeheartedly for God while walking in love (if we haven't already heard clearly from God regarding a path we need to be on). We are free in Christ.

Some Christians want to be rigid regarding their calling/vocation. I learned differently at Christian Counseling School. God does not call us to rigidity. It is unhealthy. We are free in Christ (Holy Bible, New International Version, 1973/2011, Galatians 5:11 ). We can have whichever vocation we ...read more

The Call

Contributed by Chidi Ejeagba on Jan 7, 2019

We are all called to express the life of God. Expression of this life of God becomes our dominion on earth. The starting point in answering this call is to encounter the Word which carried both the SPIRIT & the LIFE of God.

INTRODUCTION The main problem with the people of Israel is that they stop believing in the promises of God. They didn't believe he will still take them to the Promised Land. So it is in our time now, our present Church leaders had stopped believing in the promises of God – that is why they ...read more

The Call: Holiness

Contributed by John Ong on Nov 22, 2017

Regardless of how dirty you’ve been in the past, God’s cleansing power cleanse you and makes you like new. Now that you know this, do not let the devil and his lies lead you away from the great plan that God has for you.

These days it is rare for people to pursue Holiness. For them it is something unreachable. And as Christians, God’s call for us in 1 Peter 1:16 is to “be holy for I am holy” but right now what’s happening is the opposite. Morality is on a decline– we have accepted “complicated” as a normal status, ...read more
