Isaiah 6:8
Isaiah
was a prophet of God. One day, God asked him the question we are considering in
this study. The same question comes to every friend of Jesus today. Will you
answer and do what prophet Isaiah did? The message is divided into three parts.
1. PREPARATION TO
RECEIVE GOD’S CALL:
Isaiah 6:8.
Isaiah
prepared himself to receive God’s call. He prayed for God to make him clean. It
was only after then that he was able to answer God’s call. Children who will
answer God’s call must:- (a) Be born again (b) Be clean in their hearts (c) Be
filled with the power of the Holy Spirit (d) Be prayerful (e) Be always willing
to work for God.
2. WHAT THE CALL
OF GOD MEANS:
The
will of God for every child is that, he should repent and turn away from his
bad ways accept Jesus into your life to be your Saviour and Lord, and be born
again. Have you answered this call? God’s purpose for calling to salvation is
to serve Him by telling sinners about the love of Jesus. This is the only work
that Jesus wants His friends to do for Him till He comes. If you are a true
friend of Jesus, are you telling sinners about Jesus? There are so many bad and
naughty children around you who need the Saviour.
3. HOW TO ANSWER
GOD’S CALL: Isaiah
6:8.
After
prophet Isaiah had been cleansed, he received the call of God. His answer to
God was, “Here am I, send me”, what a wonderful answer! God expects you to
answer in the same way and obey immediately. You can answer God’s call by: (a)
Doing personal evangelism every day. (b) Distributing tracts and children
magazine to sinners, and writing to our church fellowship and programmes (c)
Praying for your friends and family members who are not yet friends of Jesus.
(d) Living in obedience to God’s word so that others can follow your good
example.
There
are many ways you can tell others about Jesus; only make up your mind that you
will obey. As you answer God’s call, you will enjoy the blessings of God in
Jesus’ Name.
