Irrevocable

Romans 11:29 - "For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable."



God never changes his mind when he gives gifts or calls someone and they are under full warranty – never canceled, never rescinded.

We can run from our calling or abuse our gifts. We can make stupid choices that limit our effectiveness. We can be distracted by the world or rejected by the church, deceived by the devil or pursued by trivia. But our dead ends or detours haven’t changed our gifts and calling. Our gifts and calling are first and foremost means to be with Jesus. They are gateways to spiritual intimacy first – then avenues of spiritual power.

Nobody deserves or earns grace gifts – and that’s what all gifts and callings are. They are tangible expressions of the goodness and unmerited favor of God. We don’t interview for gifts or calling. We receive them when we believe the gospel and receive Christ as our Lord.

Every believer has to find out what their gift is and the only one who knows where we will best be used is the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. If we never spend time praying and seeking God about our place in the body of Christ, we are robbing ourself as well as the kingdom God of a great blessing.

"Do not neglect the gift you have, which was given you by prophecy when the council of elders laid their hands on you. Practice these things, immerse yourself in them, so that all may see your progress. Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers." - 1 Timothy 4:14

Have A Blessed Day!

God Bless

Every Day With Jesus
