"Divine Calling"

Exodus 3:1-10
Speaker: Jasmine Poon
Tertiary Service: 1 November 2008, Saturday

Introduction:

Risk-taking stage is a stage when people in the church take more risk. And it will have more dynamics as well.

Care-taking stage is when more people start to join the group. As we’re happy about the salvation of many, we do our best to keep all of them in the family.

Under-taking stage starts when people are always talking about the good-old-days in the past.

Therefore for the tertiary, we’re still between the risk-taking and care-taking stage.

God choose people to fulfil the promises that we have given to us!

1. God’s call can come anytime and everywhere (v1-3)

1 Sam 3:3-4, Isa 6:8-9, Mat 4:18-19, Mat 9:9

After referring to the above verses, the common thing that we see from all of them is that as business goes on as usual, God calls.

Matthew was working as a tax collector, stting at the table waiting for payments. God came and asked him to follow. Matthew stood up, leave everything behind and just leave with Jesus.

Be spiritually curious and sensitive. This is how we can recognize that God is calling us!

John 3:2


2. God’s call is personal (v4)

God calls us by name. Just like how He called Moses and Samuel when He came before them to anoint them.

There’s nothing that happen to us can be considered as incidents whether is it good or bad. Psa139:15-16

We’re living in what God has in plan for us now.

If we trust God and love people, we’re save!

If we trust people and love God, then we’re in trouble!

(if u’re confused, it simply means trust is very crucial! We can trust and love but we can love yet not trust.)

no one can replace us!

If God has called you, Let’s be on board to contribute to KOG!



3. God’s call has a clear purpose (v5-10>

a) To be His own (v5-6)

God ask Moses to take off his shoes in v5 not because the ground is holy. It is because God is at that place. Wherever God is, it makes that place Holy.

Exo 30:37-38, 1 Pet 2:9

We’re chosen, let’s set ourselves apart!



b) To fulfil His plan (v7-10)

John 10:10b(NLT) “……My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.”

Bring Hope to the hopeless.

We need to get out of our comfort zones and help others.

Why am I doing what I am doing?
