It speaks of those who dispose themselves to the gospel message.

But why would Jesus (God) command people to hear if they have ears? Or do they have ears because they have been given ears? Ears as u suggest only belong to those who listen to the Father (which could only be God's elect)

Yes, ears belong to those who choose listen to the Father. And of course it would be unnecessary to command men to listen in the Calvinist model - it would happen automatically.

Mat 11:15 -
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear - As if our Lord had said, These things are so clear and manifest that a man has only to hear them to be convinced and fully satisfied of their truth. But neither the Jews of that time nor of the succeeding times to the present day, have heard or considered, these things. When spoken to on these subjects, their common custom is to stop their ears, spit out, and blaspheme; this shows not only a bad, but a ruined cause. They are deeply and willfully blind. They will not come unto the light, lest their deeds should become manifest, that they are not wrought in God. They have ears but they will not hear.
