THE CHALLENGES OF THE CALLING OF GOD

The calling of God to preach the Gospel is not a bed of roses for the faint of heart. There are great victories, but there are also challenges, trials, and temptations where our faith may be tested to the hilt.

The keys to victory are:

1. Always keep your eyes upon Jesus. Never forget that "He who has called us is faithful"

2. Always keep your eyes and your nose in the Word of God, knowing that no matter what, the Word of God is always true and can turn around every situation.

3. Pray in the Holy Ghost in every situation.

4. Be determined that no matter what stands in your your way, you will NEVER GIVE UP!

5. Never compromise your convictions. Stand for what you believe. Never be a people pleaser. Then, if one day you realize that you were wrong, be quick to go back, apologize if needed and make things right.

6. Learn from older men of faith who have walked with Jesus longer than you have.

7. If you ever stumble and fall, be quick to repent. Get up, stand up, and walk on!

8. Always remember that you need godly friends who have faith and can pray. You can not go it alone. Value your friends and listen to godly counsel from godly friends.

9. Put your family first. Listen to your spouse. Be a good spouse and parent. Do not neglect your family to "build your ministry.”

Do these things and you will not only make it, but you will win!

1 Thess 5:24 " He who has called you is Faithful".
