Psalm 139:1-6 / 1 Samuel 3:1-10 / John 1:43-51

It’s Your Call

It may involve others

1 Samuel 3:9 “Therefore Eli said to Samuel, “Go, lie down, and if he calls you, you shall say, ‘Speak, Lord, for your servant hears.’ ” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.”

John 1:46 “Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.””

Be like Eli & Philip (partly)

Nobody but you

Eli got it wrong

Samuel, Samuel

John 1:48 “Nathanael said to him, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.””

What is Ahead?

Carrying The Word

1 Samuel 3:19–20 “And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground. 20 And all Israel from Dan to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established as a prophet of the Lord.”

Nathanael = Bartholomew (One of the 12)

Prophet / Apostle / Temple of the Holy Spirit / Mouthpiece for God

Difficult Times

Samuel’s 1st message: Judgment on the house of Eli

Luke 22:37 “For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled in me: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors.’ For what is written about me has its fulfillment.””

Bartholomew was either drowned, crucified, or flayed and beheaded

Great Things

1 Samuel 3:20 “And all Israel from Dan to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established as a prophet of the Lord.”

John 1:51 “And he said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.””

Christ Alone

The Lord Appeared in Shiloh - 1Sam 3:21

The Word of God / The express image /

The only ladder - John 1:51

1 Timothy 2:5 “For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,”

Whether the Lord is calling you to salvation for the first time, or whether He is calling you to a ministry, or even if He is calling you to repentance, ANSWER HIS CALL! It is a call that is meant for you. It is about the plan God has for your life. It is Christ Jesus Himself speaking to you.
