Challenge To Change, LORD, What Do You Want Me to Do
Life has seasons, and you can discern inside you that your life is going into a time of change. You feel a longing, an unfulfilled pur- pose, or an inner yearning to pursue a higher call; a sense of dissat- isfaction with your current circumstances or an enigmatic optimism for your future. The Holy Spirit is working in your heart for a time of change. Life is in a perpetual state of altering circumstances.
This book is about change. The change you are anticipating. The change that you are planning. The change you are hoping to improve your situation. The change you might not realise you are already in. The change God wants to happen in your life. The change in your profession that the Lord can leverage for His purpose. The change that will endanger a stable, enduring, successful career or business you are currently enjoying. Your Heavenly Father might have some- thing for you—an impression that is not what you have pictured in your mind.
Catalyst of Change
Moses was comfortable at home in Midian. However, a divine call to change will, most of the time, cause a seismic quake in one’s life and family.
God answered all the excuses given by Moses not to proceed with his mission. This should have removed all the obstacles to going forward with the changes in Moses’ life.
Vocational Epiphany
While Saul’s future was soaring, God had other plans. When Saul’s team were on their way to Damascus, at the brightest time of the day, a far more brilliant light suddenly astounded the project team.
“Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” An unfamiliar voice coming from the bright light resonated not only in Saul’s ears but also targeted his heart, and he recognised he was in the presence of great authority.
