Is it our need to be accepted into society?
Is it our need to accumulate money and riches at any cost?
Is it our pursuit for the highest education qualification?
Is it our need to have people love us?

None of these are bad to have. In fact they are tools that we can use to increase the effectiveness of our calling. The point at which
they lose their meaning is where they cause us to turn away from what God has purposed us for. For example, an excellent
computer programmer has been experiencing a tug on his heart to create Christian play station games that can be used with the
consoles in the market. Yet because he feels that the Christian market is more difficult to penetrate because Christians are {perceived}
“conservative” and there is “no excitement” {perceived} in religion or spiritual matters, he ignores that tug and continues working as a
programmer in an IT company on projects where he reports to people who are not as creative as he is. As a result of dissatisfaction
in terms of salary and motivation, he keeps seeking for other jobs and side hassles to explore his creativity all the more. Such an
individual is experiencing his call; it is knocking at his door as a tug on his heart.
Take a moment before turning to the next chapter and review. Have you pulled a Jonah stunt? Is there
something that God has been calling you to and you have consciously or unconsciously secured a
ticket in the opposite direction?
hearing the call
is an ability
that every
human being
has
Truth be told, hearing the call is an ability that every human being has. The ability to hearing and
responding to that call is accentuated by having the Holy Spirit as a resident tutor in your heart. The
ability to work out your call as God structured is only possible by walking every moment in the wisdom of God, revelation
knowledge of Christ in us and recognizing the voice of the Holy Spirit.
There are people who are walking in their area of calling applying the basic principles of God and making it in life; BUT, they have
no clue that they are in their calling and they are only scratching its surface as far as the impact they are making on society is
concerned.
