God created us for a purpose, and we all have a specific, unique vocational or life calling upon our lives (Jeremiah 1:5; Psalm 139:16). Only those who receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord can fully step into the calling that God has for their life. Merriam Webster Dictionary defines a calling as a strong inner impulse toward a particular course of action or vocation, especially when accompanied by conviction of divine influence. The call upon our lives is not a career choice but a call from the Holy Spirit. Your call may be to the ministry, the marketplace (business or work arena), education, politics, raising your children, etc. We must find out how to walk in it to live a satisfied and fulfilled life as God intended.
We are the body of Christ. There are many members in the body but one body of Christ and members individually (1 Corinthians 12:12, 27). God has appointed and anointed each of us to fulfill the purpose that He created us for and advance His kingdom.
Why did God give us a specific calling? It is to diversify and cover all areas needed to build His kingdom and bring order and kingdom rule wherever we go. It is just like building a house in the natural. First, there is an architect or designer, then a contractor over the project who brings in the specialized workers or subcontractors needed at the proper time. God is the architect and designer, and Jesus is the contractor. We are subcontractors or specialized workers. We are co-laborers with Him in building His house called Zion (Psalm 132:13-14; Isaiah 28:16; Ephesians 2:19-22; 1 Peter 2:5).
For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field; you are God’s building. 1 Corinthians 3:9
