Qualifying to Work With God (Criteria for Divine Partnership)ናሙና

BE A SENT ONE

God will not work with a man He has not sent. What makes God to be identified with a man is that He sent him. He has no business with a man He has not sent. He said in the text above, "I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied." What a life of waste! God will not back up a man He did not give a message. There is a reality of divine backing and commitment to the man sent.

A man can be called but not sent; not every called man is sent. It is one thing to be called by the Lord; it is another thing actually to be sent by Him. The truth of the matter is that not everyone that God has called will be sendable. The question is: Are you sent to do what you are doing? You must not send yourself. Be the one that is sent! Sometimes, between the call and the sending, there will be many divine workings, instructions, and many things that God will want to fine-tune and clarify for you. So, you need to wait and get everything clear before you move on with your commission. When He sends you, He will back you up and defend you.

A man who runs without being sent is setting himself up for a future of embarrassment. The disciples in Mark 16:20 were able to work with God because they were sent. A man who is sent by God will produce divine results, a stark contrast to one who acts without divine commission.

PRAYER: LORD, help me not to run a race that is not allotted to me in destiny. Amen!
