The call of God

Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

In Matthew 4, we read:

18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea:for they were fishers. 19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. 

21 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. 22 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.

The call of God is not a matter of wanting to do something good for humanity.

The call of God has to do with hearing from God and following HIM.  It is not a matter of following your desire as many do. 

And in the above example, after Jesus spoke to them and told them to follow him, they left everything immediately.  Nothing of their past activities matter any more.

Lk 9:60 ... 59 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. 60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead:but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. 

61 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house. 62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

When we really hear from God, nothing else matters.
