Peace unto you in the name of our Lord & Savior
Jesus Christ.
It is my pleasure to speak with you again. The
Lord has been dealing with me on this message for a while. As I was driving
home one day he spoke to me saying the words “On Call” and I began to see
images of employees. Many of us have jobs that require us to be on call while
others voluntarily become on call. When I say voluntarily on call I mean those
who are so so quick to accept extra shifts without a single thought of asking
if that is the place God wanted them to be that day. What is it that makes us
commit and be so faithful to being on call for our jobs and not for God?
Whenever a person is on call he/she has to stop doing whatever he/she may be
doing to go address whatever issue is happening at the job site. What I want
you to understand and see is that God desires you to be on call for him. He has
people that have issues or needs that only an on call believer is assigned to
address and resolve immediately. However, we often spend time in places we
shouldn’t be. God is constantly calling us to help fulfill needs but receives
no answer. Some even hear God’s instructions but out of selfishness ignore the
will of God, which highlights that your job has priority over God. God is very
clear about prioritization concerning believers which he has clearly stated in
Matthew 6:33. The second thing is stewardship to the God we serve. It’s
interesting that many can be great stewards for a job but neglect stewardship concerning
the spiritual things of our heavenly Father. He desires us to be great stewards
in all that we do (1 Corinthians 4:2). Stewardship is extremely important to
the believer because it speaks to commitment, discipline, and a willingness to
fulfill God’s agenda. What you must realize is that nothing overrides the
assignment God has for you. Whenever your availability is based upon the time
you have left after doing what you want to do instead of what God desires you
to do then that’s a problem. There are deposits God has placed in you to help
release someone from bondage but there are also deposits in others to help release
you in certain areas of your life. Therefore understanding your assignment and
being available to be used for that assignment is important. Remember this if you
delay others then in the same breath you can become delayed as well. I want to
encourage you to make it a priority to serve, be available for use of God, and
trust God as your source.
