JOHN, 1:12 “BUT AS MANY AS RECEIVED HIM TO THEM HE GAVE THE POWER TO BECOME SONS OF GOD.”
IF YOU ARE SURE OF BEING A CHILD OF GOD YOU MUST HAVE THE CONFIDENCE TO CALL UPON YOUR FATHER AND NOT ON SOMEONE ELSE’S BEHALF.
[HEBREWS, 4: 14-16]
JEREMIAH 33: 3-9; GOD PROCLAIMED, “CALL UNTO ME, AND I WILL ANSWER YOU, AND SHOW YOU GREAT AND MIGHTY THINGS, WHICH YOU DO NOT KNOW.”
SINS AND INIQUITIES ARE THE MAIN REASONS WHY MOST BELIEVERS ARE AFRAID TO CALL UPON THEIR GOD, AND THIS MUST NOT BE THE CASE.
WE MUST MAKE PEACE WITH GOD BY CONFESSING OUR SINS AND REPENTING FROM THEM.
JONAH IN HIS ORDEAL WAS ASKED TO CALL UPON HIS GOD AND HE DID, WE ALL KNOW THE OUTCOME. [JONAH, 2: 1-10]

CONSIDER YOURSELF A SOLDIER ON THE BATTLEFIELD WITH ALL NECESSARY WEAPONS TO DEFEND YOURSELF AND YOU ARE SURROUNDED BY ENEMIES AND YOU’RE NOW CALLING ON A FELLOW SOLDIER FOR RESCUE. HOW FOOLISH WOULD THAT BE?
WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, TO THOSE MEN OF GOD FROM PASTORS, SHEPHERDS, FOUNDERS, AND GENERAL OVERSEERS.
GOD WILL NOT SAVE ANYONE FROM SATAN ON THEIR ACCOUNT.
YOU HAVE TO ESTABLISH OR REPAIR YOUR OWN RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR GOD TO OVERCOME THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS.
IN CONCLUSION: JESUS DID NOT SAY CALL UPON THE GOD OF ABRAHAM OR THE GOD OF DAVID AND HIS DISCIPLES DID NOT SAY CALL UPON THE GOD OF PETER OR THE GOD OF PAUL.
WHAT THEY DID SAY WAS, “CALL UPON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.” [ROMANS 10: 13]
WE MUST ALL LEARN HOW TO CALL UPON THE LORD ON OUR PERSONAL ACCOUNT AND NOT ON SOMEONE ELSE’S ACCOUNT.
AS HE IS THEIR GOD, HE IS YOUR OWN GOD TOO.
DON’T WORSHIP GOD ON SOMEONE ELSE’S ACCOUNT, BUT WORSHIP GOD ON YOUR OWN ACCOUNT.
