Find your Specific Calling

Two months ago I watched a video about heaven in Youtube. The video shows the paintings painted based on real heaven by Korean artist who have been seeing in Heaven. Heaven is beautiful, majestic, and real. One part of the video had made me think about my specific calling in this world. The part is about when Jesus and the artist went to a very far place by airplane. The people who live in that place are very happy when see Jesus. The artist felt sad because those people can’t see Jesus everyday even if it is in heaven. Jesus told her there is a difference in level between the heaven in which perfected spirits live & average spirits live. In heaven, the houses and all the things in them differ depending on their deeds, and there is a difference in their location & the love they will receive.
Long time ago, during the reign of King Josiah of Judah. God called a priest named Jeremiah to speak to His people.
God said to Jeremiah, “I knew you before I made you in your mother’s womb, before you were born I chose you to do very special things. I chose you to be a prophet to the nations.
Jeremiah said “Oh no God! I don’t how to speak in front of other people. I’m just a boy, only a youth!
God replied “Don’t say that. You will go where I send you and say what I tell you to say.
You do not need to be afraid because I am with you. I will protect you.
Based on this story, God has specific calling for us before we were born! Live in this earth it’s not about going to school, working, getting marriage, having kids, retired, and die. What a boring life if God created us only for this kind of purpose. The purpose we’re created on earth is for God’s glory. It means to praise God, worship Him, to proclaim His greatness, and to accomplish His will. The question is What God wants us to do on earth?

Way to know our specific calling is to pursue God’s love and get to know Him as a friend so that we can enjoy His presence. Pray to Him and meditate on His word. If we are puzzled as to what His plan is for us and which passion to pursue, pray to God for guidance, and ask others to pray for us as well. If we don’t get the answer yet, find a way to serve others, whether on mission trip or in your community. Try that for a while to see what comes of it.
After I was baptized, I often asked my specific ministry as Christian. Yes, I have my own dream. But am I walking on God’s plan? I told God I have done difference kind of ministries. I served as worship leader, youth committee, usher, choir member, mission trip, and now I am in healing ministry. Last year I made conclusion my calling is to share gospel in market place. Yeah, it’s still sound general. But last month, at home, there was a question pop-up in my mind. “What will you answer if a pastor ask your prayer request?”. I prayed and told God. “Lord, I have many prayer requests, the time will not be enough if I tell the pastor. But I believe You will supply all my needs. I will ask the pastor to pray for my specific calling in this world.”
Three days later, I went to prophetic night service. There was a special guest pastor from Australia who has prophetic gift. During the worship, suddenly he asked me to go to the stage. And He prayed for me and everybody in the room listened! He revealed my specific course/calling. I was happy finally it's revealed but I didn’t understand. I just told God “Lord, let Your will be done”.
Fellow toastmasters, Paul said in Ephesians, we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. God has a specific course for us to run, but if we don't know what it is, how will we ever finish our race? Let’s find & identify your specific calling. ID .
