HERE AM I; SEND ME!

Isaiah  6:8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.

Call to ministry is by grace., and God always prepares His vessels for His work. On most cases, those who God calls do have some forms of complaints about their inadequacies.

They are not just being humble. They are just sincere and factual. No one has the qualification to work for God. They eventually surrender to God's will when God assures them of His readily available all-sufficiency to support them.

Moses gave God some excuses when he was called. He even told God to send someone else (Exod. 3:1-20). When Isaiah finally surrendered, the caller (God) 'worked' on him, thus making the called qualified. Thus is what the Holy Spirit does with those who cooperate with the caller. God had to assure Jeremiah  before he finally gave in.

So many of our church patriarchs had similar experiences of the feeling of unworthiness of such great call from the great God before they eventually gave in to God's demand.

Such feelings demonstrate humility and the acknowledgement of the fact that we cannot do God's work with our own weapons. This should make the called more humble, remembering God's grace that called him.

God is still looking for people to send to this aching world, Isaiah made himself readily available. You also have the calling of God upon your life to represent Him wherever you are today.

God depends on you wherever He has placed you today before He moves you further and higher. It is a noble call. He gives the enabling power and grace. Don't be another Jonah.

God bless you.

Prayer key:

1. Lord, thank you for the blessing of today in Jesus Christ name.

2. Lord, I am ready to represent you, give me the enabling grace  in Jesus Christ name.

3. Lord,  strengthen the faint-hearted in this generation in Jesus Christ name.

4. Thank you Lord for answered prayers in Jesus Christ name. Amen
