Ordinary People For Extraordinary Results

From: Boyd Bailey Ministries

Matthew 4:19-20 "'Come follow Me,' Jesus said, 'and I will make you fishers of men.' At once they left their nets and followed Him."

Disciples of Jesus are called by the Lord to minister in their home and in the marketplace. It is a calling that many times comes to ordinary men and women who accomplish extraordinary results. Who does He call out? Christ's call comes to those who have a hungry heart for God.

Wherever Christ’s calls, His first command is to love God and then to love people. A calling without love is like a car without gasoline. It may be attractive on the outside but it's not going anywhere. Thus, love large where the Lord has called you.

God's calling comes to Christians who desire the Holy Spirit to conform them into the image of Christ. Your humble imitation of Jesus comes out of your intimate walk with Him. He calls those with whom He can trust. So don’t look only for your calling, but look for Christ and He will reveal His calling to you.
