The Call - SO
February 22, 2010 by Steve.
God calls; you GO. He sends you TO a people or place. He equips you to DO something on His behalf with your natural abilities and spiritual gifts. And then … SO what?
In this context the phrase “So what?” doesn’t mean “What does it matter?” or “What difference will it make?” In fact, God’s calling matters very much and fulfilling it will make a huge difference.
Here “So what?” means “What will be the spiritual impact?” when you GO, TO, and DO what God has assigned you to do? In other words, what will be the outcome of your ministry on your audience?
God called Abraham to go to the place He would show him to undertake an unspecified task. He obeyed the call and God set apart his descendants as a people unto Himself.
God called Moses to go to Pharaoh to bring the Israelites out of captivity. Moses reluctantly obeyed his calling. God’s people left Egypt for the Promised Land.
God used Mordecai to challenge his niece Esther to fulfill her calling. Esther accepted her calling and exposed a plot to annihilate the Jews. Consequently, Esther saved God’s people.
Luke recognized that his background and skill set qualified him to write a biography of Jesus. Moreover, Luke documented the history of the early Church. His writings still have impact today.
Who is your audience? What outcome do you desire for them?
