Fulfilling God’s purpose in life is not about the numbers or size of the task to be carried out. It is simply about being faithful to act on the assignment given dutifully.
Many people have it mixed up in their head that someone with a grand and very visible ministry is fulfilling God’s purpose better than someone who is known only to a sizeable congregation that he is sent to be in their lives at that period. As a result we undermine one and exhalt the other thereby losing out on what God has intended for you through the one undermined.
As in the book of Romans 12, every part have it’s usefulness and none can be discarded as irrelevant because of their hidden role. The role of the eyes to the body is important just as the mouth, the ears or the brain. Do away with the hypothalamus in your body and your whole world is a mess. The question is what is that?!?!??! HYPOTHA…What??
The hypothalamus is that organ in human body that regulates the body temperature. It’s an hidden, relatively unknown organ that must play its part in the body for the common good of all.
Stop looking down on people because they have been assigned roles you think are not big and start appreciating everyone from the eyes of God’s sovereign grace who chooses who he wills, when He wills to carry out different jobs that will bring glory to His name. To one He puts in a village to lead locals to Christ and offer them spiritual guidance. To another he sets up to be the GO of a large ministry that is know around the world. Every position is important and demands faithfulness.
What has God called you to do? To what purpose has God saved you and allowed you be where you are at this time? Can you faithfully commit to it and stop prioritising the quest for a big stage. The most important thing is to be faithful to the one that enlisted you for the assignment.
God be praised forever more!
