I copy the three statements that seemed that special meaning for me.

The office of priest is a service, no a privilege.
I understand the call of God must be done by obedience like He has established.  This is not something by my choice or personal convenience.  I can’t invent anything.  Some strategy elements may be change but the main functions are the same all time: to mediate, teaching and more.

The call includes:  a divine encounter, a divine commission, resistance by the prophet, reassurance, and a sign.
This was observed in the Jeremiah’s experience but is common to see it in other cases.  I remember a divine commission and a sign.  I wished it but I didn’t want to do alone.  I needed God gave me a sign.

Jesus’ imperious call is also an imperial call.
This means the urgency and mandatory of the calling of God but also, the reaches.  This is not limited to the spiritual area; it includes emotional, physical and financial area too.  It implies to convert this corrupt system to the God’s model of life into the kingdom of God.

I will serve to God with determination.  I’ll do an effort work for provoke changes like God wants in me, my family, the church and the society.
