How Do I Discern God's
Will?
Do I need a "Call" or should every Christian
respond to the command "Go!"?
(From World Team Canada Web Site)
The Call
For some, the call of God to missionary service may be dramatic, instantaneous
and all compelling. More usually it is a process - a dimly perceived
awareness that grows by imperceptible degrees into a firm conviction.
Spiritual Checkpoints
Examine your motives...
-
"Is my life unconditionally available to Christ?"
Expose yourself to God...
-
God is calling His people to take His word to the thousands of
hidden people groups without the Gospel.
Are you listening? Are you tuned in to God's frequency?
How can I achieve this?
Discover the world:
-
study missions in scripture
-
read missionary biographies,
-
attend mission conferences
-
gather data on unreached people
-
pray daily and intelligently for unreached peoples
-
support missions financially
Listen to God:
-
make the discovery of God's will the priority of your life
Offer yourself to God unconditionally for missionary service:
-
send your resume to a dozen mission boards asking: "Does God have a
place for me in your organization?"
Confer with mature Christians:
-
God will help you find confirmation, encouragement and support through
other mature Christians.
