TOPIC: SECRETS TO SUCCEED IN LIFE: Call Involves Family (14)
ONE YEAR BIBLE READING
Exodus 34 - 35
Matthew 26: 31 - 56
MEMORY VERSE:
Romans 8:30.
"30. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified."
Bible Reading:
Exodus 4:20.
"20. And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod of God in his hand."
Thinking Point:
Every calling should involve your family member, they are your first follower, let them be detailed.
It's a wonderful weekend for us in Jesus' mighty name, Amen.
Today, we shall focus on "Calling Involves Family". Yes, when you have a call to carry out an assignment, your family, (spouse and children) are involved. When Adam was placed in the Garden of Eden, Eve was to join Adam in keeping the garden. Have you noticed that God never appointed Eve any duty than to be a helper to Adam? That is proof that, when God calls you for an assignment, your spouse and your children are involved.
Let's see what happens to Prophet Samuel in, 1 Samuel 8:1-5.
"1. And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.
"2. Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah: they were judges in Beersheba."
"3. And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment."
"4. Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah,"
"5. And said unto him, BEHOLD, THOU ART OLD, AND THY SONS WALK NOT IN THY WAYS: NOW MAKE US A KING TO JUDGE US LIKE ALL THE NATIONS."
Prophet Samuel was called from childhood till he became the voice of God in Israel. He did include his family in his calling but they were not properly brought up in the fear of God which is the reason why the Israelite asked Samuel for a king. If Samuel had built his family in the way of the Lord, one of them would have taken over his role as the priest. Your spouse and your children are your first helper and member in whatever God has called you to do.
Moses, going back to Israel without an idea of what to face in Egypt left with his family for his assignment. He took his wife and children along. He would have told his father in-law, "let me go and prepare a place before going with my family", no he left with them. When you have your spouse together with you, it helps a lot.
"1. Your spouse knows your weaknesses than anyone"
"2. It helps you sustain your marriage."
"3. Your spouse will defend you from every form of attack."
"4. You will be able to concentrate with your calling while she/he handles the home"
"5. It eases the burden on you."
There's much advantage in carrying your family along with your call. Moses knew what it means to have his wife with him despite his wife not being an Israelite. To be successful in what God has assigned you, you must carry your family members along. Any ministry or office you see today working perfectly the family is involved. Stop saying, "I am the one called not you" yes we know but you need your spouse more than that outsider. Carry your family along, let your children know what God sent you to do.L
