"God's Call My Response" has reawakened a deep sense of my understanding regarding my part in God's mission of reconciling the world to Himself. I understood from the lectures that I have a critical role to play both in God's General Call and Specific call which encompasses church based, marketplace, and community based ministries. To participate fully in these will require my abilities, my heart and the anointing of God that culminate in placing me in the grace zone to bear fruit and multiply. The condition of my heart is very crucial in doing ministry that will glorify God in whatever calling He has graciously assigned me. I pray for grace to glorify Him in all my endeavors.

I don't know where to begin, but this course has taken me down memory lane and brought my entire life before my eyes. I grew up in a very remote community where the only church/denomination was the Roman Catholic Church. We all admired the priests and nuns who came monthly to teach us the Word of God. I remembered someone telling me in my dream I would be like them one day. I dismissed the dream because I did not want to be a priest. I came from the village. My parents were poor. I wanted to go to school and get a profession that would give me enough money to take care of my parents and siblings. While I admired the priests for the work they did, I did not want to be one of them because they were "poor." I heard the voice of God, but I did not listen. I pursued education for the sake of getting a well-paid job. I completed high school and enrolled in college the following year, majoring in Biology because I wanted to become a medical doctor. During the third phase of hostilities among the different warring factions during our civil war, all schools came to a close. This was after I had spent two years in college. I became internally displaced in the suburb of the city where the hostilities were not severe. In my newly displaced home where there were fifteen of us sharing a two-bedroom house, I felt a compelling need to start a morning and evening devotion. I was afraid. I did not know the Bible, but the voice kept pushing me. One day I talked to a friend about this, and he said he was thinking the same way. I believe this was a confirmation. We held the first devotion the following morning. Everyone said I should lead the devotion since it was my idea. I can never forget what the Lord did! The devotion grew from five persons on the first morning to eleven persons over four months. The devotion grew into a neighborhood fellowship as other people in the neighborhood started joining us. One of the neighbors offered us her porch which could accommodate about 35 persons, and we started meeting for weekly Bible studies. All of these took six months to unfold. When school re-opened, I was torn between the decision of whether to go back to school or to pursue the work of the ministry. When I considered what God was doing, the hunger and commitment of the people to the Word of God, and the sacrifices they were making to come for Bible studies, I felt guilty about abandoning them to go back to school. I decided to enroll in a Bible training school to be trained as a pastor. This is how I got into ministry and founded the Foundation in Christ Fellowship Church in Liberia. By God's special grace, we now run three churches and a school that has an enrollment of 267 children. Why this long narrative? It is in light of the impression this course has left on me, and what I have learned about the call of God. One important truth I learned is that the call of God is consistent. All through the many years since I had the dream, that little voice was always in my ears. His call has quality, spirit, and content. To hear God I needed to listen to Him, which I could not do for many years. I left him out of my plans. Then, I learned that God uses circumstances to clarify His call upon our lives. This course has helped me to take a deeper reflection on God's dealings with me to accomplish His purpose for my life. I am challenged to abandon myself to Him and serve Him diligently and faithfully.

This subject has opened up my understanding of God's call your response a lot of very wonderful teaching advancing my knowledge about God's word in my life. We learnt what is a call? God's call as an invitation to partnership , we are to become God8 co Workers , we Works a long side Him. In relationship with him. Fin ourselves only in following God's call on our purpose is to glorify God and enjoy him forever. What we think our identity and calling is may not be accur6. Rather out who are truly are and what our purpose really is. So how God call us? It could be a vari6 of ways , different for each person , even several different ways for the one person . God's method are not fixed. Ministry being for others and Building up the church, it's nec8 oriented to wards others rather than being a vehicle to serve outselves. Part of that orientation, towards others is to build up God's people ; the ministry being for the glory of God, our purpose for existence is to glorify God and in that sense all of us are called to mini5. God's involved in all the details of our lives whatever we do . The kind of picture of ministry present us ministry includes all kinds of activities inside and outside the church on any day of the week. These activities have certains characteristics. Understanding missi6 is when we get mission from 4 himself, not from church there's church because there is mission the church is an instrument for mission. God has a mission because He calls us to something, His mission that We are part of. General & Specific call are because they are things that are mandated to all believers in the scripture. The relationship between general and specific calls, we each have both , but a specific call should never overshadow our general call mandate; then the relationship between calling and timing ,we may receive a call but some waiting may result , or we may have only part of the info at first. This is or and often we gr8 as a result of dealing with this tension. Obedience, Paul said to Philippians and noted the phrase continue to workout your salvation....(Phil.2:12-14). God's going to keep working in us so we need to keep responding to that and call is made, clarified and carried out in this context. A8 we need to respond to God's call , replying on christ is Word and to clinging to it as offering great security than all the securities in the world. The important about our call is in the context of our relationship with God. The unique aspect of ministry is following God's call to ministry often doesn't look like the traditional picture that many people have in their heads. You need to be prepared to do things that some consider not normal. So you have to get the general call right first before the specific call can work properly, you need to immerse yourself first and foremost in being a Jesus followers. We have all been given the ministry of reconciliation which is very important, and this must come through in all that we do in ministry. The equation being a Christian =Being a disciple= Being a disciple Maker. And the end goal of a disciple is to be like Jesus , to do what He did , to teach what He tau8. Allowing Scripture to define,& dire6 it indicates that we each have a place is what God is constructing and bringing to be. We each have a part to pl5 in what God is doing. The three things can help us allow scripture to define and direct : Have 3 favourite guiding verses, meditate on scripture, study scripture. A historical look at ministry with distinction the value of calling to clergy and calling to other services continued for many centuries, the reformers called people back to the authority of scripture and found there no basis for this kind of thinking. Church based ministry mention of the Levites, their role was to minister to the people of God and in their place of gathering; the church should be to equipe people, to do two things , Minister & care each other , understand & fulfill their part in the mission of God. Market place Ministry we are recommended to draw attention to God by our deeds which should be seen by others in the world. So the market place is an excellent example of where this can take place. About market place Ministry Paul's said in Colossians 3:23-24 that in these very he encourages beli8 to glo8 God in their roles, no matter what their status or position in society. Communities Based Ministry as part of our general calling, that social responsibility is a necessary part of being a followers of Jesus. You can have Jesus as Lord and ignore it. In Luke 4:18-19. Jesus himself defined his ministry in terms of reaching out to and helping the marginalised in his community as disciples of Jesus we must do the same. The platform for the call - influence, this is the place of highest responsibility and influence in our calling and also greatest realization, that it's something that covers all stage to some extent and we are all called to this no matter what our calling and for the shepherd stage, this is a foundation stage where the call is accepted and skills are being developed but we don't yet have platform of the later roles. Unusual calling about these 3 weird calling from the Bible , God doesn't always follow the formula don't rule it out just because it's weird. Ministry zone 1 encourages us to focus are we producing fruit, there are food ground: spran8 up , increased, produced fruit. In parable of the sower, this is a miraculous yuld than couldn't be achieved by natural means. In heart zone , often our choices are strongly influenced by our need to provide for families or acquire resources. If you take this away y9 may 6 left with a clear picture of what you passion is. The anointing zone , we need to distinguish anoi6 from what we36 like to do, in abil6 you need to identify what your Nate abilities are and work hard on developing and practicing them. We are aiming for an area of interdependant fruitfulness bring the three zone together and producing the miraculous 100 fold. Minister in your anointing develop your abilities, like your dreams - keep your heart soft. The emotional rollercoaster is when your heart is not in your ministry this c6 lead to the emotional rollercoaster which in turn can result in the cases a8 strain of that ministry choking you metaphorically speaking, Grace zone this is where your snow meets your abilities and you heart in the one plan, and 100 fold fruitfulness is the results. Hearings the voice of God, God is speaking to you and me the questions is more importantly whether 6 not we are listening. He desire to communicate with us, God by his very nature wants relationship with us and relationship requ8 communication. God must certainly communicate with us often. Recognizing voice of God, John 10:2-4: that we. like sheep learn to recognise our shepherd 's voice over time, that is by experience. How to hear the voice of God, we need to exercise various spiritual disciplines such as reading scripture, prayer, speaking in tongues and fasting to help us hear God's voice. Involving God in your deck in sleeping with Hagar, Abraham was trying to fulfill the promise of God made to him about having descendants, but he made that dec6 without consulting God 6 it wasn't what GOD had in mind , and the rest were neg6. So God's calling on our life is not only about what God wants us to do but also about who He wants us to be. A Kingdom perspective, we are each part of the body of Christ and God's people Living together before God. The Kingdom means, God's dream society on earth, encompassing the whole world - God's will being done on earth.

Embarking on the journey of responding to God's call has been both exhilarating and humbling—a sacred adventure filled with moments of clarity, challenge, and transformation. In the stillness of prayer and the whispers of the heart, I've heard the gentle prompting of God's voice, beckoning me to step out in faith and obedience. What sets this journey apart is the profound sense of purpose and fulfilment that accompanies each step taken in response to God's call. Whether it's a call to serve, to love, or to surrender, I've discovered that saying "yes" to God's invitation opens doors to unimaginable blessings and opportunities for growth. Answering the Divine Invitation is not just a one-time decision—it's a lifelong commitment—a journey of surrender and obedience that leads to the abundant life God promises to those who follow Him wholeheartedly. I am grateful for the opportunity to walk this path of faith, and I eagerly anticipate the adventures that lie ahead as I continue to respond to God's call with a willing and open heart.
