God has called us to live the life that he has assigned to us and for us to be content. We must not compare ourselves with others and then feel dissatisfied with ourselves. We must make every effort to accept our calling. God is saying to us that if he has called us to any situation he will give us everything we need to endure it and to find joy in the midst. So let us learn to be content with what God has given us and train our mind to trust him. No matter how difficult the circumstances, we can rejoice in him knowing that he has our backs and he will take care of us. We therefore need to cast our net without fear.
The most important way God has called us, is to be his disciples and to be fishers of men. (Matthew 28 vs 28-29) – He commissioned us to go out and spread the gospel and teach the word of God. Currently people don’t want to go in the church for whatever reason so we as Christians need to go out and spread the word. We start spreading the word with the lives that we live, on the job. We don’t have to go out as a body, we are all called to serve others. Cast your Net.
Spreading the word is not easy. We will be ridiculed, rejected, chastised persecuted and a host of other things. People may even think you are weird but Jesus went through all these things and more but it doesn’t matter, he will guide you through.
Be Bold
Ways in which to spread the word is to pray for courage. It will be hard sometimes to go out but if you seek the Lord then he will give you the courage for go out there. Do not fear God because got you. It doesn’t matter what they’ll do to you or say just muster enough faith and step out there.
Be Persistent
Sometimes it’s going to be hard to convince some people about God but you can’t give up, you have to try hard and harder. Cast your net with persistence. Continue to pray before you go out and don’t give up!
Reach out
Tell the persons around you and then there are others you can reach out to. Reach out via social media or by any means necessary. There are many ways to get to word out we just have to be creative and be open to change. Just cast your net!
Obey
Obeying the voice of God and reading the word…we cannot go to war unless we are wearing the whole amour of God. (Ephesian 6 vs 13) As we seek to walk in his calling, remember that he has already prepared the way and he’s not going to leave us hanging. God is there and he is depending on us. There are also some dying souls out there who need to hear the word. Go and be disciples for Christ. You will do great things for God (John14 vs 12).
