What if the greatest hindrance to fulfilling your God-given purpose wasn’t a lack of resources, but a lack of resolve to live up to your calling? As Christians, we’ve all been called to live a life that reflects the character of Christ and advances the kingdom of God.
The PENSA Ghana Conference, a premier global Christian youth gathering, is approaching. This year’s theme, ‘Walk the Calling,’ serves as a reminder of our duty to live out our faith intentionally and purposefully. As we prepare to convene, let’s delve into what it means to walk out our calling and how to live a life that genuinely honours God.
In Ephesians 4:1, Paul urges us to ‘walk worthy of the calling with which you were called.’ This scripture highlights the importance of living a life that reflects our Christian calling. Our calling is a dynamic reality that should shape every aspect of our lives.
However, a disconnect often exists between our calling and daily living. We may know God’s plan but struggle to live it out. Feelings of uncertainty, apathy, or being stuck can arise. Yet, our calling is not just about us; it’s about the kingdom of God and serving others.
Walking out our calling is a journey, not a destination. It’s a process of growth, learning, and surrender. It requires intentional living, seeking God’s guidance, and trusting in His sovereignty.
So, what does it mean to walk the calling? It means being intentional about our relationship with God and others. It means honouring God in every aspect of life, from thoughts and words to actions and attitudes. It means taking risks, stepping out of comfort zones, and trusting God.
As we prepare for the PENSA Ghana Conference, let’s commit to walking out our calling with purpose and passion. Let’s honour God in every aspect of life and trust Him to work through us to advance His kingdom. Will you join the ‘Walk the Calling’ challenge? Let’s rise to the occasion and demonstrate the power of intentional living.
PENSA Ghana Conference Calleth!
