PRICE FOR YOUR CALLING- GOOD MORNING

Price for your calling.
Sometimes people want to make you believe that God is punishing you for your sins when you go through diverse temptations,not considering you maybe called out,seperated, in order to, “be used”. we must sometimes be humiliated, lied on ,abused, mistreated,hated,isolated, rejected in preparation for God’splan & purpose. And how many other biblical figures endured various trials and challenges, including humiliation to mete out the Master’s plan? when we claim we want God to use us for some great purpose we should ready ourselves for the price of that .Ezekiel 24:15-27 To our finite minds, many of God’s actions are hard to understand. “Now we see through a glass darkly.” Ezekiel’s wife was deeply loved, “the desire of his eyes,” yet with one fell stroke God removed her from the husband whom she had loved. To add to the poignancy of such a tragic separation, Ezekiel was not to weep for her, not engage in the accustomed period of mourning, but to work away as if nothing had happened. Did the wife deserve no tears? Was she a depraved, prodigal woman and worthy of departing without being desired? No, Ezekiel’s wife was the best of women with a lovely face and a still lovelier soul, and a woman who was a true comforter of her prophet-husband in his hard and sorrowful task. Yet Ezekiel was forbidden a dying farewell of his beloved one.

The reason given for this terrible experience is that Ezekiel in his loss was to be a sign of what God would strip His people of because of their departure from Him. You may lose your good name and reputation, respect, talent, fortune, family and friends. Have you ever heard or read about know about Job in the Bible?Job’s troubles begin after God presents him to Satan as shining example of virtue. “Have you considered my servant Job?” God asks Satan. “There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil” (Job 1:8). And yet, did God not love him? His humiliation was temporary and was the focus of “people” but the edification and glory God received through Job’s faith, that was what the enemy did not count on! Are we not to suffer for His name’s sake? If you’re not willing to be humiliated, ridiculed or scorned for Christ, what’s the point in being a Christian? I matter what you are going through this season, my brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.James1:2-8.
