“One day as Jesus was walking along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers—Simon, also called Peter, and Andrew—throwing a net into the water, for they fished for a living. Jesus called out to them, “Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!”
A little farther up the shore he saw two other brothers, James and John, sitting in a boat with their father, Zebedee, repairing their nets. And he called them to come, too. They immediately followed him, leaving the boat and their father behind.”
Matthew 4:18-19, 21-22 NLT
It's easy to accept God's call when it's comfortable. But we he calls us to greater and more challenging things, we are hesitant to pick up.
Sometimes the call of God is to strengthen our faith so we stop being complacent.
God calls you because He sees you
Jesus comes out of the wilderness
There is life after the wilderness, the wilderness does not define your life
The enemy wants to use your wilderness as temptation but God is going to use it for edification
Jesus adds on to the gospel John was already sharing. He didn't start another one. We don't always need to have a Christopher Columbus complex in ministry. Be grateful a foundation has been made.
God doesn't call lazy people
God elevates those who work and are productive! Not those who are "busy"

God sees them as they are. We have a problem with ignoring people. God sees us and reaches down and approaches us.
He will make them fishers of men!
How can God bless you with a gift and you not use it for His glory? If you can only use your gift on Sunday then you need to check who's calling.

God has a pursuit for us!
God knows our past and future failures and he calls us anyways! He knows your future is greater than your failure. Don't let the enemy convince you that your future isn't bright

God knows what you are called to be
Following God leads you to your destiny
They didn't have to figure out how to be a fishers of men, they just have to follow Christ.

There is excuse for not fulfilling your calling besides you not following Christ!
God's going to make you what you're not if you stay in His hands! He's going to mold and transform you.
God isn't asking you to do something, he's asking you to be someone. If you be who God wants you to be you will do what God wants you to do.

Pray that God prepares you for your next level of blessings.
Stop holding on to your old season! God wants to do something new in your life!
Regardless of age God can do something new in you!
Some doors need to close, some relationships new to end. God's calling you for greater and you have to be willing. If you let go of the little things he will bless you with big things.
He calls you because there is urgency
God knew his time was limited and He needed disciples to continue His ministry

Why did God choose questionable disciples?
Because we are questionable. Yet God does not rest in his pursuit. God doesn't need you to be fixed and whole in order for him to call you.

God doesn't say come with me, He says follow me. Not only is God is with you but He is going first! There is not uncertainty in Him.
God is expecting more. We have to be urgent.
He's calling you because there's work to be done that only you can do! His glory needs to be revealed through your life!
