URGENCY OF PAUL CALL TO SERVICE

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.

NO TIME THAT IS TOO LATE.

Moses was 80 years of age
His life was almost going to an end
People say
A fool at forty is a fool forever
There is no time that is too late.

Eighty equals forty times two.
If this statement is true
Then a fool at 80 is a double fool forever
They say once you become 80
You cannot be useful by God anymore.

But God called Moses
To start a great work that will count for eternity
When he was 80 years old
Many years earlier, he had sensed and thought
About the call but ran ahead of God.

An act which cost him
Forty wasteful years in the desert
Lonely and abandoned
He walked the backside of the Midain desert
Tending the sheep of Jethro till he lost his self-ambition, pride and self-promotion.

When you think everything is finished
God says it is time to start
When you think it is too late
Now to do anything
He says this is the time to begin.

When you say I’ve lost every opportunity
There’s no point making any trial again
God says I’m willing to forgive you
You can get started now
There is no time that is too late.

We should not be in doubt
About what God wants us to do and
Where he wants us to be
There are people that are very ambition
Their hands, mouth, ears and eyes are everywhere.
