WHO ARE YOU - PART 2

Does the answer to who are you end with finding your personality? No, the answer has a bit more to it than just finding your personality. There are 5 important aspects of each person’s life that you must know to have a complete understanding of who you are. These 5 aspects will also help you get a better understanding of the calling God has kept over you. Although it will not precisely tell you what your calling is, it will give you a clearer picture of the calling than what you previously had. With the help of your personality that you wrote above and the holy spirit, you can easily find these 5 aspects of your life. 

The 5 aspects:
• Likes
• Dislikes
• Talents
• Strengths
• Weaknesses

Before I get into the five aspects, I want you to understand something. What I’m going to tell you is not some formula or method by which you can find your calling. Because I can’t tell you what God has for you. Only God can do that. Therefore, I ask of you that you sit alone and spend time with God and ask the holy spirit to reveal the truths about yourself and the calling He has over you. As you read further, I believe that the holy spirit will reveal to you what are the 5 aspects of your life. And in the process, kindle your heart to know what He has called you to be.

• LIKES
Under ‘likes’ come the things that draw your attention. It is the answer to questions like – what do like doing?, what things interest you? The answer to this can be physical, conceptual or even abstract. For example, someone may like to hang out with people, someone may like studying while someone may like sports. 

It can be anything, but as you write this down ask God why you like certain things and not something else. Every part of your life has a purpose and as you get to know the purpose of these aspects of your life, with the help of the holy spirit, you can get a clearer picture 

• DISLIKES
Under ‘dislikes’ comes things that don’t interest you. There might be something that you just don’t like. Dislikes can also be physical, conceptual or abstract. 

As you write these things down, ask the holy spirit to speak to you through the truth that is before you. That along with this, He can reveal the calling He has over your life.

• TALENTS
Talents are the natural skills or aptitude that you possess. These can be things from cooking to music to understanding complex concepts. It can be anything, but the important question you need to ask the Holy Spirit is what is its purpose?
 
• STRENGTHS & WEAKNESSES
As you are reading this part, you would have already finished grading your personality in the previous section. In order to find your strengths and weaknesses, all you have to do is go back to the table where you graded yourself and see what you are strong at and what you are weak at. It is okay to have weaknesses. Remember that no one is perfect; everyone has their own struggles and battles. Don’t skim any part of the table, sit down and ask the holy spirit to see the truth and reveal your strengths and weaknesses. God is the one who created you and knows your strengths and weaknesses. You might find that you are strong in areas you never even wildly imagined. The truth might surprise you, which is why you mustn’t look with an ‘I know everything’ attitude. 

When I looked into my own life and started asking the holy spirit to reveal these 5 aspects, it really helped me to get to know what are the things that God has put in my life. It gave me confidence and clarity. Knowing the strengths, weaknesses and talents that God has given me confirmed and pointed only to the calling God has over my life. I encourage you to do the same, as I believe and know that the holy spirit will definitely help you in this process. all you have to do is ask.

THE CALLING - How to?

Welcome to this blog as I continue the series 'THE CALLING'. In the previous blog, we saw in-depth about what the calling of God is. In this blog, we are going to see how to walk in the calling of god over our lives. Now that we have understood ‘what’ the calling of God is and some of the important things about the calling of God over our lives, let us go to Matthew 7:21, where we saw Jesus saying that doing the will of God is the only way to enter heaven and If we read further, the scriptures say like this: On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’   But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’ Matthew 7:22-23 Here we see Jesus saying what He meant when He said ‘WILL OF GOD’ in the previous verse. In other terms, Jesus is saying how we are to stand and pursue the calling of God over our lives. In verse 22, Jesus says that just beca...
