To recognize a need is not necessarily an indication for God\u2019s call.<\/strong><br \/>\nIn Mark 1:35-38, the disciples gathered needy people, hoping that Jesus would meet them.

God takes the initiative.<br \/>\n<\/strong>He finds his co-workers. By the callings of Abraham (Gen. 12:1) and Moses (Ex. 3) we see that God spoke first. God is sovereign in calling his co-workers and leaders. Searching for people that he wants to use, he does not look in the first place for those who are already doing things for him, but for those who agree to be formed by him. He searches for people who seek him with an undivided heart.<\/p>\n<p>Gott seeks:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>true worshipers<\/li>\n<li>intercessors<\/li>\n<li>people who are righteous and live righteously<\/li>\n<li>servants<\/li>\n<li>people who are faithful<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>2.

God explains the purpose for which he calls somebody.<\/strong><br \/>\nIn the case of Abraham and Moses, God spoke very clearly and told them what they had to do and what they should be. At this moment, not the \u201chow\u201d, but God\u2019s claim to power in the life of a person is sorted out. God first asks for our willingness to be obedient before He confronts us with the details, the difficulties and the blessings of his calling.<\/p>\n<p>The western mentality always first asks for the details in order to understand the full dimension and then to decide whether or not to obey God. But if Jesus is Lord, this is a completely different approach. Here, first the character is being formed and the obedience is being tested before somebody will be sent out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. God makes the place of destination and the activity clear.<\/strong><br \/>\nWith his call, He also gives details about field and areas of work. It is very possible that people are called to do things that exceed their human abilities and do not meet their expectations. In this case, they will have to trust God\u2019s work, His presence and the Holy Spirit. After this, He will give joy with people and ministry: You will be joyful because He engages in the world and in situations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. God determines the time when the ministry starts and how long it will be carried out.<\/strong><br \/>\nGod\u2019s time plan is often different from our human plans. The mission history and the lives of missionary candidates reveal sufficient examples of how impatience brings wrong results. The eagerness of Moses to take up his calling without waiting for the divine command lead to a delay of God\u2019s plan in his life. Because Abraham and Sarah were unwilling to wait for God\u2019s promises, Ismael was conceived.<\/p>\n<p>We see Jesus not as a man who was in a hurry, but as someone who always did, at the right moment, what God expected from Him (see Gal. 4:4).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\"

><p><strong>6. With God\u2019s call He promises His presence (Matt. 28:20).<\/strong><br \/>\nOne should never underestimate God\u2019s presence. For in a strange country and a strange culture, it is His presence that gives us the confidence of victory and of His empowerment to do what He told us to do. Without His presence, missionary candidates run into a life full of suffering and failing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Even though the points that were mentioned above are always given when there is a true, clear call from God, God remains sovereign in the way how He calls. Whether He gives a vision or leads people through dreams, His peace or His audible voice, or whether He gives a heart burden like in Nehemiah\u2019s case, or whether the call to missions develops over a time period or emerges suddenly \u2013 it remains God\u2019s matter. In any case, you have to expect that the calling of God on your life will be tested. Only when the tests are passed, you will experience how high and wonderful is the calling to be a missionary.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Article by Brad Thurston.
