Message summary & scripture references
I am wrapping up our three part teaching on the Word for 2020, which is “Clarity.” We’ve discovered that those who know, accept, and execute their calling will experience unprecedented levels of success in 2020. Over the past two days, we did a deep dive into the concept of knowing and accepting your calling. In today’s message (which is Part 3), we are looking at executing your calling.
Proverbs 4:25-27 KJV
[25] Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.
[26] Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.
[27] Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.
Hebrews 12:1 KJV
[1] Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us
2 Samuel 7:1-5,8,12-13 NLT
[1] When King David was settled in his palace and the Lord had given him rest from all the surrounding enemies,
[2] the king summoned Nathan the prophet. “Look,” David said, “I am living in a beautiful cedar palace, but the Ark of God is out there in a tent!”
[3] Nathan replied to the king, “Go ahead and do whatever you have in mind, for the Lord is with you.”
[4] But that same night the Lord said to Nathan,
[5] “Go and tell my servant David, ‘This is what the Lord has declared: Are you the one to build a house for me to live in?
[12] For when you die and are buried with your ancestors, I will raise up one of your descendants, your own offspring, and I will make his kingdom strong.
[13] He is the one who will build a house—a temple—for my name. And I will secure his royal throne forever.
(2) Focus on who you are called to serve: Jesus knew who he was called to serve and he didn’t deviate from it.
Matthew 15:22-28 KJV
[22] And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
[23] But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
[24] But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
[25] Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
[26] But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs.
[27] And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.
[28] Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
