Isaiah 6:8
Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me
Jesus gave us the “Great Commission” in Matthew 28:19-20 before leaving the earth. All Christians are to go to all nations win souls and make disciples. This commission stands or holds for all generations.
However, God wants each us to indicate our availability for use. In the verse above, the Prophet Isaiah responds to the call of God, by saying, Here am I send me. Each of us must show our availability for use.
In Luke 1:38 Mary responds to the call of God by saying, Behold, the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according thy word…..
The Prophet Samuel responded to the call of God in 1 Samuel 3:10 by saying
….speak for thy servant heareth.
Each of us will receive a call and we must respond appropriately
1 Peter 4:10-11
As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability God which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever.
This verse from the new testament confirms that God will call each of us to a special duty, because He has given us gifts He expects us to use to glorify His name.
For Mary, the Mother of Jesus her gift was good morals ( Luke 1:26-28), for the Prophet Samuel and Isaiah their gift was willingness and readiness to do the work of God. ( 1 Samuel 3:1, Isaiah 6:1-8)
