THE HIGHEST CALLING

THE DAILY FOUNTAIN DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE OF THE CHURCH OF NIGERIA (ANGLICAN COMMUNION)

DATE: TUESDAY, 3RD JANUARY, 2023 
                       
TOPIC: THE HIGHEST CALLING

TEXT: MATTHEW 4:18-22

18.  As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. 
19.  “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” 
20.  At once they left their nets and followed him.
21.  Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them, 
22.  and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.


MESSAGE: 
God knows you; He knows your strength and weakness. He has a plan for you and if you obey him, He will work out His purpose for your life. Jesus told Peter and Andrew to leave their fishing business and follow him so that He would make them fishers of men. He also called James and John - the sons of Zebedee - for the same assignment (vs. 21-22). When these men were called, they did not make excuses as to why they would not answer the call rather they left at once and followed.
 
You are called to help in the works of the kingdom. Trust has been bestowed upon you to make disciples for Christ and God expects you to bring those people you are living with into his kingdom. He expects you to influence the genuine repentance of all your co-workers, students, friends and family members. Do not betray this great trust. Set targets for yourself and work towards your soul-winning target by constantly evaluating your progress. However, ensure that you first surrender your life to Jesus so that you do not end up working for Him without walking with him              

PRAYER: 
Dear Lord consecrate me for Your service in Jesus’ name. Amen.

EXCERPTS FROM: 24/7 WARFARE PRAYERS AND SUPERNATURAL BREAKTHROUGH MANUAL

INTRODUCTION Right from childhood, the number “SEVEN” has always been an intrigue, an interesting puzzle, a fascination, and a great phenomenon to me. I was actually born on the seventh day of the month; perhaps this was one of the reasons why something leaps inside of me whenever I see the number. But as I grew up in the Christian faith I began to see a regular reference to it the scriptures. I was kind of saying, whoa! Holy bliss! Seven occurs 257 times, or 7 × 41 Seventh, the fractional part occurs 98 times or 7× 14 Seven –fold occurs 7 times. Seventy occurs 56 times or 7× 8 “Seventy” in combination with other numbers occurs 35 times or 7× 5. God is pleased to stamp the number “Seven” with the seal of perfection and completeness. God never down played the importance of the number, because it was the number of God. It is a carrier of God’s mysteries. It pleased God that, the Seventh man from Adam – Enoch sh...
