Mark 1:17 (NIV) – “Come follow me,” Jesus said…
Consider the diversity of circumstances in which God called people: while being a fugitive from justice (Ex. 3:1-12); while plowing in a field (I Kings 19:19-21); while following the flock (Amos 7:14-15); while fishing and mending nets (Mark 2:16-20); while serving the Roman empire as a tax collector (Mark 2:13-14); while traveling to Damascus for the purpose of persecuting God’s people (Acts 9:1-9). Saul was on his way to arrest God’s people when the Lord came along and arrested Saul! Do not discount the various ways God uses to call His sons and daughters into ordained ministry. The world has its methods, but God’s methods are sovereign (Mk. 3:13), deliberate (Jn. 13:18), selective and personal and objective (Acts 13:2 …the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”) As we prepare to launch WEAG extension campuses we listen for His voice: Come follow me.
