May I ask you
If Paul instead of preaching
Had been a millionaire
Would we have the epistles to Romans?
If he had chosen to be a big time contractor
There may not be first and second
Epistle to the Corinthians
Maybe the epistle to the Galatians
May not have been written out
Of his inspired pen if he had not yielded to God’s call.
If he had chosen to be a great politician
How shall we have the epistle to the
Ephesians and Philippians and Colossians
What if Paul had contested and become
The executive President of his nation.
We do not have the epistle to the
Thessalonians or to Timothy
How many of the builders and contractors of his days
Had enough money to erect marvelous structures
But they are forgotten now
God called him to preach and he concentrated on preaching
If you delay in responding to the call of God
For your life He will not give you on a full commendation
Though you respond later you will miss His applaud
If God has to push and knock you like Jonah
Before you yield and pressure drove you to say.
Since I cannot run away
I surrender I am ready to do what you want me to do now
If you wait till such a period before you yield
Your commendation will no more be entire
Paul said…immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood
That is the urgency of the service.
