PAUL: AN EPTIOME OF CONSECRATED SERVANT.
People who receive
The call of God known generally
That the call is greater than their lives
If the call is at the level of their natural ability
There will be no need for grace.
If the call is moderated to their ability
Skill and knowledge there will be no need
To ask help from the supernatural God
They will not need to pray either
The call of God always goes beyond the natural ability of men.
Paul says
I know that my life will be a misfit
If I’m given to make money rather than preaching
God has not sent me into the world to make money
Others may I cannot.
If God has called you to preach the gospel
But you concentrate your effort on transient project
Though you build a hundred houses
In His sight you are adjudged a failure
Paul understood the reason for this gracious act of the Lord.
Spurgeon called his son and told him
If God wants you to be a missionary
If you become a millionaire
I would be the most miserable father on earth
If you make money contrary to God’s purpose for you.
In His sight you are a failure
If He wants you to preach
But you are busy doing something else
You are of all men the most miserable
It means your life is a failure.
