When God calls you, there are but two choices: Obedience or diobedience. There is no third option!
When God spoke to Abraham & asked him to go to a land he would later give him, Abraham's response was,"Ok, let's go!"
Today, many would say, "Hey, God, what's the matter with my serving you here? Ur's a nice place-good schools, shops & golf courses. Nice neighborhood- looks good on a business card."
When God said," Abraham, i want you to give Me your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love," he responded in simple obedience, assured ( so says Hebrews11) that if God should demand the life of his son, he would raise him from the dead. The response of many today would more likely be,"God, can't we make a deal? I've got quite a lot of money & lots of servants. How about giving you ten of my finest men? I will pay their salaries, & you can send them anywhere you want."
Many well-qualified individuals lose out with God because they want to make a deal with Him, saying, " I'll go so far but no farther." They are interested in serving God more in an advisory capacity than in grassroots involvement. This kind of attitude not only leaves them out of corporate head-quarters but also doesn't give God much to work with when it comes to kingdom.
God wants all you are & all you have...
