Walking Worthy of the THE Calling:
POWER of UNITY 14 | Envision Magazine January - March 2021
By Bishop Marcus Dixon & Minister
There comes a time in every believer’s life when we must move beyond simply knowing that God has called us and begin to examine how we are walking in that calling. In Ephesians 4:1–6, the Apostle Paul gives us a powerful reminder that our calling in Christ carries a responsibility. Paul writes, “I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called.” These words challenge every Christian, every ministry leader, every family, and every servant of God to examine whether our daily conduct reflects the purpose and calling God has placed upon our lives.
Paul then gives us the character traits necessary for a worthy walk: “With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love.” This is where the true test of spiritual maturity begins. Humility is essential because God cannot effectively use a person who believes the calling belongs to them rather than understanding that the calling belongs to God. Meekness does not mean weakness. It means having strength under control and submitting that strength to God’s direction. Longsuffering teaches us patience, especially when dealing with people who may not think, respond, or mature at the same pace that we do. Forbearing one another in love means learning how to carry relationships through difficult seasons without allowing every disagreement to become a reason for separation.
To “walk worthy” means that our conduct should correspond with the calling we have received. The Greek word for “walk,” peripateō, speaks of the way we conduct or live our lives. The Hebrew concept halak carries the idea of walking, going, proceeding, and conducting oneself. In other words, God is not merely concerned with where we are going; He is concerned with how we are walking while we get there. Our calling is not simply a title, position, pulpit, ministry assignment, or spiritual gift. Our calling is demonstrated through our character, our relationships, our decisions, and our willingness to represent Christ wherever we go.
In a world where division can happen in an instant, the Church must become a witness of unity. Ephesians 4:3 declares that we should be “endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” The word “endeavouring” means to make every effort or to be diligent. Unity does not happen accidentally. It requires prayer, maturity, communication, forgiveness, patience, humility, and love. We must be intentional about protecting what God has established. There will always be differences of personality, perspective, experience, background, and opinion. However, differences do not have to become division. We can disagree without becoming enemies. We can

have different assignments without competing against one another. We can have different gifts while serving the same God. The Apostle Paul reminds us that there is “one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling.” The Church is one body. We may worship in different congregations, serve in different ministries, and have different responsibilities, but we belong to the same body of Christ. The hand should not fight the foot because it has a different assignment. The eye should not compete with the ear because it has a different function. Every part has value when it understands its purpose and works in harmony with the whole. There is also “one Spirit.” The same Holy Spirit who empowers one believer empowers another. The Spirit does not come to create confusion, competition, or division. He comes to lead us into truth, empower us for service, and strengthen us to fulfill the will of God. When we allow the Holy Spirit to govern our attitudes, our conversations, and our relationships, we become better representatives of Christ. Spiritual maturity is revealed when the Holy Spirit has authority not only over our worship but also over our behavior. Paul continues by declaring that there is “one hope of your calling.” Biblical hope is not wishful thinking. It is confident expectation based upon the promises of God. There will be seasons when we cannot see the outcome, understand 16 | Envision Magazine January - March 2021
the process, or explain everything God is doing. Yet our hope remains because our confidence is not in circumstances; our confidence is in God. When we understand that our future is in His hands, we can walk through uncertainty without surrendering our faith. Ephesians 4:5 declares, “One Lord, one faith, one baptism.” There is one Lord—Jesus Christ. He is our Savior, our Redeemer, our King, and our ultimate authority. There is one faith—the faith that calls us to trust God even when we cannot see the entire picture. Faith is not simply believing that God can; faith is trusting Him enough to obey when He tells us to move. There is also one baptism, representing our identification with Christ and our commitment to live as people who belong to Him. Finally, Paul declares, “One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.” What a powerful conclusion to Paul's message about unity. God is above all, reminding us that He remains sovereign. He is through all, reminding us that He can work through ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things. He is in all, reminding us that His presence lives within His people through the Holy Spirit. This passage speaks directly to the Church today. We cannot afford to allow personality conflicts, personal preferences, misunderstandings, competition, or offense to become greater than the purpose of God. The
Kingdom is too important, the assignment is too great, and the harvest is too plentiful for us to spend our strength fighting one another. There are young people who need direction, families who need restoration, communities that need hope, and people who need to see the love of Christ demonstrated through the lives of believers. As husband and wife, Bishop Marcus Dixon and Lady Linda Dixon believe that ministry must begin with the understanding that we are servants before we are leaders. Leadership is not merely about standing before people; it is about walking before people in a manner that honors God. Our lives should communicate the message that our mouths proclaim. We must be willing to serve, forgive, encourage, teach, pray, and build others even when there is no recognition attached to the assignment. The prophetic message of Ephesians 4:1–6 is simple but profound: God has called us, therefore we must walk worthy. God has given us one Spirit, therefore we must protect unity. God has given us one Lord, therefore we must submit to His authority. God has given us one hope, therefore we must keep moving forward. God has made us one body, therefore we must learn how to walk together.
humility, love, patience, forgiveness, integrity, and spiritual maturity. It needs leaders who understand that influence is a stewardship. It needs families who understand that unity is worth protecting. It needs men and women who are willing to say, “Lord, make my life worthy of the calling You have placed upon me.” Our prayer is that every reader will examine their walk with God. Ask yourself: Does my character reflect my calling? Does my conduct reflect Christ? Am I helping preserve unity or contributing to division? Am I walking in humility, patience, meekness, and love? The answer to these questions can transform not only an individual life but also a family, a church, a ministry, and a community. May we rise together, serve together, pray together, believe together, and walk together. May our lives become a living testimony that Jesus Christ is Lord and that His people can walk in unity. There is one body. There is one Spirit. There is one hope. There is one Lord. There is one faith. There is one baptism. There is one God and Father of all. And because of that, let us walk worthy of the calling wherewith we are called.
The Church does not need more division; it needs demonstration. It needs believers who will demonstrate 17

Healthy Glow, e n i h S Less
Managing oily skin often feels like an endless battle against midday shine and clogged pores, but achieving a balanced, healthy complexion comes down to working with your skin rather than stripping it. 30 | Envision Magazine October January --March December 20212026
The Core Oily Skin Routine Gentle Cleansing Avoid harsh soaps that leave your face feeling "squeaky clean." Stripping your skin's natural barrier triggers sebaceous glands to produce even more oil. Instead, use a foaming or gel-based cleanser containing salicylic acid (BHA) twice daily to dissolve sebum inside the pores.
Ultimately, consistency beats intensity. Sticking to a gentle, balanced routine will keep your skin clear, comfortable, and naturally radiant.
Targeted Serums Incorporate niacinamide (Vitamin B3) into your daily regimen. This powerhouse ingredient helps regulate sebum production, minimizes the look of enlarged pores, and calms inflammation.
Lightweight Hydration Skipping moisturizer is a common mistake. When oily skin becomes dehydrated, it overcompensates by pumping out extra oil. Choose an oil-free, non-comedogenic gel moisturizer packed with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid.
Daily Sun Protection UV exposure thickens the outer layer of skin, trapping sebum and worsening breakouts. Finish your morning routine with a broad-spectrum, matte-finish sunscreen or a mineral formula containing silica to absorb excess oil. 31

Your Why Matters By Dr. Julia A. Royston Host of Live Your Best LIfe & The Book Business Boss Show Author, Publisher, Life Coach, Motivational Speaker www.juliaroyston.net
34 | Envision Magazine October January --March December 20212026
As I have gotten older, I rely on my ‘why’ for so many reasons. I don’t always feel like doing things like completing projects, collaborating, paying bills and taxes, networking and sometimes even talking. I can’t run a business or build relationships with my husband, family and friends based on feelings alone. I love everybody but often I want to ‘go away’, just be and not always ‘be on’ all of the time. Don’t get me wrong, I pick and choose the time of relaxation and recovery and it doesn’t happen often. On those days when I don’t feel like it, I return to my why. I tell my clients all of the time, keep, return to and rely on your ‘why’ to keep you moving. It will be the fuel when you don’t feel like it, want to or even desire to do a thing.
Turn the Light on an Issue – No gatekeepers over here. If we know, we will tell you. If we don’t know, we will look it up. Throw Breadcrumbs on the Path – ‘Success Leaves Clues.” I write, publish, teach and coach others to show the tools, resources and path I took. It may not be your path but there may be nuggets that you can gather along the way to help you on your journey. The King is Watching – God never sleeps or slumbers. He sees, knows and watches all. Remember your ‘why’ because it will be the engine to your ‘want to’ that will drive to completed assignments and ultimately, your destiny.
Besides being able to pay bills and eat, here are a few of my reasons why: Tell A Story – My family are great storytellers, and I happen to be one of them as well. Teach – It’s in my blood and my call to teach. My family consists of teachers and preachers. It’s what we do. 35

Finishing the Year Well: Gratitude, Wisdom & God’s Provision by Pastor David & Lady Linda Smith New Bethlehem Missionary Baptist Church of Houston www.NewBethlehem.org
As the leaves begin to fall and we enter the seasons of Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the New Year, we are reminded of what truly matters—gratitude, family, love, generosity, and hope.
As we celebrate Thanksgiving, be grateful for what you have. At Christmas, give from the heart, not from pressure. As the New Year approaches, move forward with wisdom, hope, and purpose.
The holidays can be joyful, but they can also bring pressure. We may feel the need to buy the perfect gifts, prepare the biggest meals, attend every celebration, or spend beyond our means. But remember: the value of the season is not measured by how much we spend.
Abraham called the Lord Jehovah Jireh—“The LORD Will Provide.” His story reminds us that even when we cannot see how everything will work out, God can see and He knows what is ahead.
Being a good steward means appreciating what we have while making wise decisions with what has been entrusted to us. Set a holiday budget, avoid unnecessary debt, and remember that meaningful gifts do not always come with a price tag. Your time, encouragement, kindness, and presence may be the greatest gifts you can give. 38 | Envision Magazine October January --March December 20212026
“And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah Jireh.” — Genesis 22:14 (KJV) “God sees what you can’t see, knows what you don’t know, and can provide what you don’t have.” Enjoy the season. Cherish the people. Steward your resources wisely. And trust God for the journey ahead.

GOD OF THE BRINK Brink is the very edge of a steep place or the point where a new, extreme, or significant situation (often dangerous) is about to begin. Being extremely near to a major change or disaster. Life is filled with many brinks and a great deal of them aren’t often positive; the brink of bankruptcy, the brink of death, the brink of repossession, the brink of divorce, the brink of giving up, the brink of foreclosure, just to highlight a

few. Usually, before reaching the point of the brink one has done all they could to turn things around and reverse things in their favor, but nothing has worked. There are many inspiring stories in the word of God where God’s people were at the brink. Abraham was at the brink of sacrificing his son, but God provided a ram (Genesis 22). Peter was at the brink of execution, but the Lord sent an angel to break him out of prison (Acts 12). Daniel was at the brink of being destroyed by lions, but the Lord shut the mouths of the lions (Daniel 6). The word of God declares in Psalm 34 that many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth out of them all. Some has raised the question “why must the righteous be afflicted, at all?” That’s a great question. One would think that God would spare those who already love Him and are fully aware of His power. Please believe me when I say, God finds no pleasure in making you sweat just to pull you back “in the nick of time.” 50 | Envision Magazine October January --March December 20212026
The truth of the matter is, God has always been a God who wants His children to have a personal relationship with Him. The root word of the word relationship is the word relate. When we can relate, we empathize which causes us to have an understanding because we shared a similar experience. God wants His children to have relationship with Him and He wants them to be able to relate to each other. It’s one thing for you to tell me, “God will pay your bills” and I believe you because I see that your lights are still on, water yet flows from your faucet, and you’re still driving your vehicle. However, it’s a totally different experience to watch Him also keep the lights on in my home as the water flows from my faucet, as well. Therefore, what is happening here is the establishment of a confirmation. Psychologists call it confirmation bias, but I like to call it confirmation persuasion of Gods power.

Psalm 145:4 says that “One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts.” I love to hear of the testimonies of my parents and even their parents, but because God wants me to be able to relate, He gives me my own testimony so that when I tell my children of His goodness, I can tell what He did for generations past and what He’s doing for me, right now. There is a power that flows from conviction and conviction comes from personal confirmation/persuasion. Whatever you’re going through right now, God wants you to know that He is the God of the brink and He is about to confirm His goodness in your life. Not only are you going to tell others about what He’s done for those you’ve known, but you are about to give to them your personal testimony of victory that shall persuade them to trust God with their lives! Remain Anchored. I love you.

Keeping th Love Alive When the Kids Grow Up and the Marriage Enters a New Chapter by Kenny & Kenya Green Host of Marriage Be Like www.marriagebelike.com
Romans 12:10: Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. (NIV) For years, marriage can revolve around the children—school, sports, homework, activities, appointments, and simply making sure everyone is okay. Then one day, the kids grow up and move out, and the house gets quiet. Suddenly, you are looking at each other and asking, “Now what?” The answer is simple: rediscover each other. As Audrey Hepburn beautifully said, “The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.” Maybe the empty nest isn't an ending. Maybe it's an invitation. An invitation to date again or try something new. Sit across from each other at dinner without talking about the kids. Ask questions you haven't asked in years. Discover who your spouse has become—not just who they were when you first fell in love. Raising children is an important part of marriage, but it shouldn't become the only part. Couples must intentionally continue 60 | Envision Magazine October January --March December 20212026
nurturing their relationship. Make time for a daily check-in, plan regular dates, put the phones away, and talk about something other than the children. When the kids leave home, don't just focus on what you've lost—think about what you've gained. You now have an opportunity to create new traditions, travel, revisit favorite places, and dream together about the future. The Marriage Be Like challenge is simple: Don't become strangers while raising your children. Make time for the marriage, too. Schedule the date. Have the conversation. Hold hands. Pray together. Love Lesson An empty nest doesn't have to mean an empty marriage. It can be the beginning of one of your most beautiful chapters. Keep dating. Keep laughing. Keep talking. Keep choosing each other.
