"Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations." -Jeremiah 1:5

We are called by God for something. And in that something, we are meant to glorify God.

God has laid down a plan for our lives and has seen it all before the day arrives. I believe God has seen this happening (about me preaching His Word) even before i was converted into thru christianity, even before i accepted Jesus as my Lord & Saviour. And base on my own testimony i can say that whatever our present or even past endeavours in this life is or were, doesn't really define what we are going to be in the future because only God knows but i do believe it well give glory to God. Just like how Saul, a persecutor of believers became Paul, the Preacher/ believer whose mission is preaching the Word of God to the gentiles. It was all for the glory of God.

Like how Paul, Peter, Jeremiah, Moses, John the Baptist, and the rest of the holy men of God has a mission/purpose in this life, something that they are meant to do in this life... We have a mission too, a purpose- that will direct the attention of people to Jesus Christ, God gets all the glory!

If God hasn't told us our mission then we should prepare ourselves until that appointed day that He will ordain us. As we wait, we should seek Him daily and obey His Word and be attentive to that appointed day that He will call us. Why do we need to prepare? because we don't know when that day will be... Have you read Samuel's story? He was trying to sleep when He heard a voice calling His name, He thought it was Prophet Eli but it turned out to be God's voice. As we seek Him continually, we will get to know Him more & soon we will recognise His voice.

In the previous verse,

"Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying," - Jeremiah 1:4

May we be aware of God's voice or Words in our life, to the point that we would say, 'oh that is God speaking to me.'

And when God has finally spoken to you... Believe in Him! IN whatever He has called you to do, believe that you can do it... and if you have any doubts against yourself then, believe in Him. God knows what He is doing & you just need to trust Him.

Moses doubted at first (written in Exodus chapter 3 & 4) and denied His calling but guess what God prevails and Moses performed a lot of miracles during His time & considered to be one of the greatest prophet. Even Jeremiah tried to reason out to God that He just can't because He was young while Moses started his ministry at the age of 80. But in all that God told them to trust Him & that He will be with them to fight for them.

In whatever we are meant to do for God's greater glory, God is with us to back us up! He is with us in every battle.

"I am with you always, even unto the end of the world." -Matthew 28:20

Just have faith in Him.

To God be the glory!
