What does it mean to be called of God?
Does it make a difference to you to know that our leadership, our teachers etc are called of God? The people begged Samuel for a King to lead them. Samuel tried so hard to convince them of the down side of Kings and told them that the Lord leads you...yet to no avail. So God tells Samuel, sure...call a king, let him be called of God. This gives said king great potential for success if he then keeps the Spirit with him ie obey God and keep their covenants. Yet, once in a kings role this becomes difficult for many. Temptations are plentiful and good men of God fall,, then fail in their calling. What can you do to ensure you do not fall and fail at keeping the Spirit with you? how do you Honour that call from God?
