“Thus says the Lord: “You, son of man, hear what I say to you; be not rebellious like that rebellious house; open your mouth, and eat what I give you.” . . . . . . . . . . . . Then I ate it; and it was in my mouth as sweet as honey. And he said to me, “Son of man, go, get you to the house of Israel, and speak with my words to them.”
Excerpt, First Reading, Tuesday13th August 2024 – EZEKIEL 2:8—3:4.
So, you and I, we were birthed into this world to fulfil a purpose.
It is not withstanding if such purpose were to be as grand as that of God the Son – our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ or that of his mother the Blessed Virgin Mary who sired him or John-de-Baptist, whose purpose was just to point him out to the world.
Pastor Enenche of the Dunamis Church set off earlier in life to save lives as a medical doctor. However, God directed him to the vocation He has cut out for him. To rather save souls.
Per-adventure Pastor Enenche rejected the direction of God?
Do we also notice that his wife who qualified and practiced as a medical doctor is no longer practising?
One would dare say that her mission is to give support to that chosen vessel of God so that he remains focused.
In an office of about 25 people. The situation of our economy, coupled with life, are enough to get people crest fallen.
Not to add that the office has cut off some allowances and privileges just so as not to retrench workers.
All these notwithstanding, one still looks and feels cheerful all the time. This could be someone who is known to be going through more than what anyone in that office is experiencing.
Such vivacious and cheerful disposition is usually a motivation to others. That could be our mission. To cheer other people up knowingly or unknowingly. Hence, we mustn’t allow negative thoughts or depression deprave us from such cause.
Dear friend, God may not necessarily speak to us in a trance or vision or dream, nevertheless, when we have and feel that strong conviction to embark on a good cause without any external stimulus, then it could be Him putting us on such cause.
Therefore, just like the Prophet Ezekiel in today’s teaching and the example with Pastor Enenche and his wife, we, too must not reject such calls whenever they come.
Have a fantastic day folks.
