WHEN WE DON’T FOLLOW GOD’S SIGN (JESUS) WE NEGLECT THE CALL ON OUR LIFE: GOD (JESUS) IS THE SIGN YOU’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR
2 Kings 19:29 ‘Then this shall be the sign for you: you will eat this year what grows of itself, in the second year what springs from the same, and in the third year sow, reap, plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
God gives us signs on how to live and walk in righteousness (according to His Word, Will, and Way) in all forms and fashion; directed to us individually and collectively. When we conduct our lives according to the signs God gives us, we will not neglect the call on our lives but experience life with more passionate, precision, peace, and prosperity. We all must face our fears and shortcomings, evils and ill-wills, faults; anything that will try and deter us from seeing the signs, YHWH, God, through Yashuah, Jesus, gives us which points in the direction of our calling He has placed on our life. This call is specific to each and for one to ignore or miss it, due to negligence or ignorance he will answer to the FATHER, Who has control over it all.
While thinking on the value and necessity of God’s signs, it dawned on me that due to a lack of firm commitment, faithful and true involvement, in my relationship I profess to have with YHWH, God, through the sacrificial commitment Yashuah, Jesus, made with the Father, I had neglected to see the signs He has for me. Mainly the truth in God’s Love (Jesus) for me; put before me, as with all who dare to call themselves His child. If we were more mindful of His love and desires for us, we would see them from the beginning of our profession and then each and every day.
In 2 King 19:29 God’s sign to us, in the baby stage of our relationship with Him, is that of comfort and a spiritual carefree to become accustomed to the life He has set before you. And He will allow us to become rooted in the promises and faithfulness of His Love (Yashuah, Jesus Christ); that which is needed to walk circumspectly with the Father, through Christ, is given abundantly. This will go on, preparing you with the signs to help in our spiritual growth, until YHWH, God, with Yashuah’s example of life, determines that it is time for you to step up and step out. So, after a while we must began to be messengers of Christ, spreading the Word (through sowing), planting seeds of love, inspiration, encouragement, and joy to those around us, all in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus. Then we will be rewarded, by Yashuah, God. After considering my discontent, the realization that came to me was that I, like many of us, had become nonchalance toward the call He has on our life. The signs of God were not screaming at me but gently speaking and the light that illuminated them were bright but with a calming, loving, and peaceful glow, piercing through the darkness, removing all the hinderances that stood between me and the call on my life. But before I became bold enough to even, see God’s divine production, going on all around me, I answered the call of man, not the call of God. Simply because I did not realize the importance of why man’s lights shone in a flickering, unrealistic, unreliable, distorting, detrimental way; we overlook the signs of God, which are being destroyed, at an alarming rate, by those of the world. When you or I get caught up in worldly things, the call on our life seems to be less effective than when we first received it and knew down it our hearts that that is what it was; and it is from God.
It has taken some time to understand the goodness of God and why our faith and obedience are building blocks in an eternal relationship. It is to our advantage seek, see, and savor the signs which our Father have so willingly and faithfully blessed us with and to realize that to save but one, as we walk in the call on our life, is a plus in God’s book of life.
The discontentment with the ways the world is going should not be a determining factor in our following God’s signs to the call on our lives. We should not allow man’s motives and motivation to control us. But we do that, you know. When the band has stopped playing and all the attention and focus has moved away from us, we become complacent on our life’s purpose; handing the responsibility over to any and everyone who will accept it yet knows absolutely nothing about your calling or your life; they are barely walking in their own design, and some are totally not. Then we sit around and complain that we can’t seem to understand why we have come to such a state; why we are here. But God never give up on us and continue to put up so many signs on our life’s path that even a blind man can see them. And when you walk according to His Word, Will, and Way you will be able to identify them. Stop allowing people to run your life because most are having a hard time running their own. And truth be told if we want life perfected, we must seek to find it in our LORD, through Jesus, our Lord and Saviour.
My directions were a little clouded, so I started back to work, not necessarily because we needed the money (God supplies all of our needs through the riches of His love for us) but because I finally realize, without a doubt that the work of God’s intention for me, is about, for and with people. I HAD MADE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF KEEPING PEOPLE HAPPY RATHER THAN GOD, MY PRIORITY. In order to delight in His calling on my life, and move away from this form of thinking, I had to be lifted out of the day-to-day dark disparity I had sunk into, by the mercy and grace of our God the Father, through the power and presence of our Lord Jesus, the Son and claim the light of a revolutionary revealing day with the guidance of the Holy Spirit; the day of awakening, the day and purpose designed for me.
The light that shone on my pathway to spiritual prosperity was put in the form of a question. What better way to engage in the process of your life’s purpose than to be with people every day, to encourage, inspire, and ignite the flame of God’s Love, Jesus, in their hearts? Don’t get me wrong I do enjoy the money YAH, allows me to receive (love to give to others and buy stuff for my grands and greats) but most of all I revel in the enjoyment of speaking the Word to someone in despair, or conversating with a fellow believer, a saint or even a self-professed sinner who do not know God.
I answered that question by getting a job. I did not allow anyone to disway me by asking why, or saying I thought or any other means to slow the progress of my passion for people or God’s purpose as He planned for me. My advice for all those who are willing to confess, commit and conform to God’s way is to notice the signs He has placed before you (in the form of people, places, or things, a whisper, a shout, ), set your focus on and follow them instead of the worlds many destructive ones. So, we (God’s children who dare to come) have been called to the lines on the battlefield of life. And when God gives you a sign (one that elevates the necessity of your response), in whatever capacity we are to shine for God, we are to get ready, gear up, and get out there (in the world). We are to follow the signs by God, and examples given by our Lord Jesus Christ and fulfill the calling on our life, He will see it through. GODS GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.
