UNCOMMEN: Fishers Of Menনমুনা

UNCOMMEN: Fishers Of Men

DAY 1 OF 5

The Call

Jesus makes an authoritative announcement: "Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6, NIV) He is denying any other way to the Father other than through Him. This is God's design. It is not a fancy network marketing program or any select evangelistic program presented by a church; it is through Him and only Him.

Jesus died for all nations. To Jesus, it was world evangelism with no distinction between foreign and homelands. Jesus planned to train and develop others, people just like you. Jesus saw great potential in men who were willing to learn. He saw far greater potential in them than they thought capable. By the means and standards of man, the crew lacked knowledge. However, Jesus saw great potential as leaders and fishers of men. 

Each of us carries an Uncommen potential to be fishers of men. How would you have answered Jesus when He said, "follow me"? Would you lay down everything and pick up the cross or would you say "I'd love too, but first I must __________"?

My call to ministry came at a time in my life when I would never have expected it. I was sitting in a Bible Study for Dummies class at my local church. Indiana Wesleyan professor Dr. David Smith was teaching and as he spoke these words "God will use you regardless of your age" I felt the nudge of the Holy Spirit, and then Dr. Smith uttered the following statement "you are never too old for God."

I felt it was directed right at me as that was the thought going through my mind. When it comes to God, never say never as He will call you when you least expect it. It was the summer of my 50th birthday when I found myself jumping into Seminary and one year later starting the Uncommen charter in Iowa proving you are never too old. God wastes nothing in using our stories to reach others. 

Uncommen Challenge:

I challenge you to trust God for His plans for you. Know that where He's placed you is exactly where you should be.
