READ: John 15:8-15
And the God of all grace, WHO CALLED YOU to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.
1 Peter 5:10
The call of God is always a “Word of my patience”.
Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
Revelation 3:10
It is time for you to rise up and go through what you must go through and bear the fruit you must bear. Receive the call to bear fruit. Indeed, it is a call that needs patience. You need a lot of patience to bear the fruits God has called you to bear (John 15:16).
Receive the call to church growth. You will need patience to help you go through the opposition you are going to face. If you will ever see church growth, you will have to be very patient (1 Corinthians 16:6-9).
Receive the call of God to experience suffering. It is a call that requires patience! You will need patience to take up your cross and follow Jesus (Luke 9:23)!
Receive the Word of prophecy about your future. Jeremiah received a call when he was still in his mother’s womb. He needed a lot of patience to see the fulfilment of that calling (Jeremiah 1:4-5).
Receive the “Word of my patience” to live in expectation of the return of Jesus Christ. It is a call that needs patience. You will need patience to live in expectation of the coming of the Lord (James 5:7-8).
We also have the prophetic message that is completely reliable. Dear brethren, you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts (2 Peter 1:19). Be diligent and fulfil the “Word of my patience”.
