The Things That Invite Us

Apostle Grace Lubega

Acts 16:9(KJV); And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.

In this life, there are things that invite us. These things are the function of prevenient grace and the divine plan of God for our individual lives.

It is wisdom to take heed of these things. 

Take the example of Paul in our theme scripture. He had not planned to go to Macedonia but he had a vision of a man inviting him to minister there. 

In the Book of Corinthians, Paul bears testimony of the people in Macedonia and says, “For, as I can bear witness, [they gave] according to their ability, yes, and beyond their ability; and [they did it] voluntarily, Begging us most insistently for the favor and the fellowship of contributing in this ministration for [the relief and support of] the saints [in Jerusalem]. Nor [was this gift of theirs merely the contribution] that we expected, but first they gave themselves to the Lord and to us [as His agents] by the will of God [entirely disregarding their personal interests, they gave as much as they possibly could, having put themselves at our disposal to be directed by the will of God]”(2 Corinthians 8:3-5).

When things invite you, providence and favour follows you. When things invite you, it doesn’t matter how hard a circumstance is, rest assured that God is on your side. 

There is a reason you have the desires that you have; a reason you met the people that you met.

Embrace life in this understanding because in the things that invite you is divine purpose.

Glory to God!
