    Measuring up To the Call

    To measure is to compute or ascertain extent, quantity, dimensions by a certain rule.
    We measure
    ++Weight with a scale
    ++Length with a tape
    ++Value with purchasing power

    There is a cost for the call

    Ephesians 4:1 NKJV
    1 I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called,
    For the call of God
    ++He has suffered many things
    ++He finds himself a prisoner

    Paul’s life was marked by suffering

    Acts 9:16 NKJV
    16 For I will show him how many things he must suffer for My name’s sake.”
    He recognized that suffering
    ++Is not permanent
    ++Is the process to a greater glory
    Romans 8:18 NKJV
    18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
    2 Corinthians 1:6–7 NKJV
    6 Now if we are afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effective for enduring the same sufferings which we also suffer. Or if we are comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. 7 And our hope for you is steadfast, because we know that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so also you will partake of the consolation.
    Our affliction is for
    ++Your Consolation
    ++Your Salvation
    We have determined
    ++You are worth the sacrifice
    ++To Believe in God for you
    Philippians 1:29 NKJV
    29 For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake,

    Prisoner of the Lord

    2 Timothy 3:10–11 NKJV
    10 But you have carefully followed my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, perseverance, 11 persecutions, afflictions, which happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra—what persecutions I endured. And out of them all the Lord delivered me.
    Paul’s Pleading
    ++I am not ashamed
    ++I am compelled by God to declare the Gospel
    ++I am guilty as charge
    1 Corinthians 9:16 NKJV
    16 For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for necessity is laid upon me; yes, woe is me if I do not preach the gospel!

    Walk worthy of the call

    Worthy in the Old Testament

    Worthy was
    ++To be or make small, Insignificant
    ++To come to pass or to be
    To be worthy was
    ++Not an accomplishment
    ++A striving for a standard
    ++Not a product
    ++A process

    Worthy in the New testament

    Worthy meant
    ++To be deserving
    ++To be fitting
    ++To be just
    Being worthy
    ++Value made by determined
    ++To count or qualify

    Measure up to Christ’s Gift

    Ephesians 4:7 NKJV
    7 But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift.
    Jesus Christ was God’s gift
    ++To the world
    ++For the world
    ++To bring grace
    John 1:17 NKJV
    17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
    John 3:16 NKJV
    16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

    Don’t void the grace

    Romans 6:1–2 NKJV
    1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?
    God has given us
    ++His grace
    ++His unmerited favor
    ++His empowerment to live or him

    Don’t make His grace empty

    2 Corinthians 4:15 NKJV
    15 For all things are for your sakes, that grace, having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.
    2 Corinthians 6:1 NKJV
    1 We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain.
    Let grace abound
    ++In your calling
    ++In your relationship

    Measure up to the fullness of Christ

    Ephesians 4:11–13 NKJV
    11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, 13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;

    Everyone has something to offer

    You are called to
    ++Be equipped
    ++The work of ministry
    ++Edify one another
    ++Be the body of Christ

    It’s Harvest Time

    John 4:35 NKJV
    35 Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!
    Matthew 9:37 NKJV
    37 Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few.

    We are called to be one

    1 Corinthians 12:12 NKJV
    12 For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ.
