“Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, I will be king: and he prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.” I Kings 1:5
Adonijah said, “I will be king,” when God didn’t choose him. What is even worse than that is when a man says, “I will be a minister,” when God hasn’t chosen him.
“And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice.” II Chronicles 7:12
You also have the privilege of being chosen to be a house of sacrifice.
“To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.” Rom. 1:7
You know that Jesus said, “many are called, but few are chosen.” Maybe you view being called and not chosen as something negative or discouraging. Well don’t be discouraged, insulted or offended by that, for you have a great privilege. You are CALLED TO BE A SAINT. Are you content with that?
