How does one differentiate between purpose, call and career? How can you flow in them without comfusion
ReplyDeleteWhat is the difference between purpose and calling?
ReplyDeleteWe are products. God is our producer.
We were created for a purpose. To accomplish that purpose, God gives us a means.
The purpose is to Glorify God and the means is our calling.
Your purpose is more important than calling but you cannot achieve your purpose without your calling.
Calling is the road you take to get to purpose. Purpose is the destination. In Christ, we all have the same destination but we uniquely different roads to get to this destination.
We are one team with one owner, one coach, and one goal. That goal is to win the game and make the coach and owner proud and bring them glory. But the team has different players who play different positions on the field and so have different roles or callings on the field.
In soccer, one is a goalkeeper, others are defenders, some are midfielders, others are attackers, others are right and left wingers.
Purpose = to win and bring glory to the coach, owner, and the nation. But the roles are different.
We are all different pieces of a puzzle. We are shaped differently and fit in different places but we have the same purpose. When God puts us together and solves the puzzle, He is glorified.

Every single one of us was created for one purpose and only one purpose. We were created to glorify God.
How do you glorify God? By living out your purpose. Rick Warren breaks down this purpose into five areas: Worship, Fellowship, Discipleship, Ministry, and Mission. (Purpose Driven life pg. 58, day 7). Other pastors like A.W. Tozer have presented the same message without breaking it into five key areas. However we slice this apple, the key is that God created us to glorify him.

Consequences of confusing purpose and calling
ReplyDelete1. You can idolize your calling. Purpose is the end. Calling is only a means to the end. When we confuse the two, we can give priority to the means. Our ministry can easily become an idol and replace God because we are so preoccupied with the ministry succeeding that when God doesn’t answer our prayers to make it grow, we become angry with God.
When we are too BUSY with our work to have a relationship with God, we are idolizing the means. BUSY: Being under Satan’s yoke.
2. You fail to find your calling. Calling can get lost in purpose. If you confuse purpose with calling, then calling which is more specific will get lost in purpose which is more general. If you lose your calling, you can’t fulfill your purpose. Calling is the road that takes you to the destination (purpose). If you lose the road in the large destination, then you will never get to your destination because you have no road. You’ve made the two one.
Satan’s biggest lie: Life is all about you. That’s what got Satan kicked out of heaven.
Exodus 20:3-6: You shall have no other gods before Me. “You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. “You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing lovingkindness to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
Deuteronomy 6:5 “You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.”
Idolatry is an extremely serious matter.
When we worship calling instead of God, we care more about the success of the ministry than about the people we are called to serve. We become slave drivers pushing those we lead toward visible success. We seize to seek God’s glory but seek the world’s glory.
When I worship my calling I lose contentment in God alone.
