With him leading worship, energy was something we did not lack
I was a bit surprised he did not launch into a haka like an All-Black
Before he started on his sermon which was as sharp as a tack
Neli read from Matthew chapter seven, verses twenty one to three
Doing things in accordance with God’s will was his earnest plea
If so many people do not like their jobs, why don’t they just flee?
For avoiding our calling and God’s will merely pleases the enemy
The title of Pastor Neli’s sermon was “For The Sake of The Call”
Only God’s will gives us complete fulfilment, be it spring or fall
Our calling is not just about the gifting that God in us did install
It is bringing God to the people around us, as did apostle Paul
It is not just a platform when God calls us to a specific place
But it is for all of the people with whom we begin to interface
And it is of course not our actions that brings God’s grace
Having a servanthood heart is what matters in life’s real race
Neli asked if we are using our platforms or just building profile
God always saves the lost and blesses worshipers all the while
We should serve others in love, utilising our gifts with a smile
As Jesus laid down His life for us, in the face of crowds hostile
In verse twenty two, they called to the Lord not once but twice
If they knew him well and He knew them, once would suffice
That is the Greek ‘ginosko' and ‘oida’ are different to be precise
We must know God and therefore His heart was Neli’s advice
For once we know the Lord, we know what breaks His heart
And our hearts will in turn break for those are broken apart
In Jeremiah twenty nine eleven, a promise God does impart
From wherever we now are, His plan and purpose do start
