MISSED CALL

A young man prayed and prayed for a job. He never believed that God will do it. So he went about soliciting for help although he had prayed. One day, he went out as usual soliciting for help and the home phone rung. It was a company wanting to employ his services. He wasn’t there. They gave a message to the wife, to tell him about them wanting to employ his services. His wife called and called only to hear his phone ringing underneath the rug in the hall. He was so much in a hurry that, he had left his phone. Now how to reach him had become a dilemma, for there was a deadline for him to report to the headquarters of the company. The deadline was 2 pm in the afternoon. Unfortunately, all efforts to reach him proved futile. In the evening, he came home so tired and told his wife how he had misplaced his phone. His wife sighed and said you missed a very important call, your phone was underneath this rug, then his wife, took the phone and gave it to him and told him about the call. The young man didn’t know what to do. He had missed God’s call by not relying on the grace but on his works.

Romans 11:6 say “And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work”.
