“For
the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.” — Romans 11:29 (KJV)
Human
beings are changeable by nature. We change our decisions, our words, and our
actions. But our God does not change in this manner. If He has given us a
promise, He will surely fulfil it. Therefore, it is essential that we live
faithfully, placing our trust in Him.
Similarly,
God grants various gifts to some individuals. Even if we, as humans, live lives
that are not pleasing to God, He does not take back the divine gifts He once
gave. That is why some ministers, despite living unfruitful lives, are still
able to pray and heal others or perform mighty works. This is because God
continues to be gracious for the sake of those who seek Him through them.
Yes,
beloved, “If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.”
— 2 Timothy 2:13 (KJV)
Here’s
a simple example. We often give gifts to our friends or companions during
special occasions like birthdays or weddings—sarees, watches, and sometimes
even expensive mobile phones.
Now
imagine that due to some reason, we fall out with those friends and stop
speaking with them. Even then, none of us would go back and demand, “Since you
no longer speak to me, give back the gift I gave you.” We, as humans, would
consider such a demand disgraceful. If that is how we think, would God act in
such a manner?
Likewise,
the calling of God in ministry is part of His divine plan. He does not revoke
that calling. This is why we may sometimes see unworthy ministers in the world.
But if someone who is called does not walk faithfully or honour the calling,
God will surely punish them.
As
Jesus Christ Himself said: “And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and
prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with
many stripes.” — Luke 12:47 (KJV)
Yes,
dear ones, since the gifts and the calling of God are without repentance, it is
crucial that we live faithfully, pleasing to God. He does not go back on the
promises He has given us.
Similarly,
just because the spiritual gifts operate through us, it does not automatically
mean we are faithful or pleasing in God's sight. We must examine and correct
ourselves. If we fail to do so, according to the verse: “That servant… shall be beaten with many stripes,” we too will be punished.
