CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE
Rev Michael Benson Ajayi
   To be “called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28) means to live in alignment with God’s eternal plan, not merely personal ambition. Paul’s testimony in Acts 26:19 shows this clearly: after encountering Jesus Christ on the road to Damascus, he declared, “I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision.” That encounter revealed Paul’s true purpose. Before meeting Christ, he believed his mission was to persecute Christians, thinking he was serving God. This tragic misdirection mirrors how some today commit violence in the name of religion. Yet, when Christ intervenes, He transforms zeal without knowledge into holy purpose (Romans 10:2).
   Scripture shows that purpose often precedes birth. John the Baptist was set apart in the womb to prepare the way of the Lord (Luke 1:15–17; Jeremiah 1:5). God’s calling is sovereign. Romans 9:11–13 teaches that Jacob was chosen over Esau not by human merit but by divine purpose, proving that salvation and calling are rooted in God’s grace, not human achievement. Likewise, 1 Corinthians 1:26–29 reveals that God often chooses the weak and lowly so that no one may boast before Him.
   Although God has called all believers to be ministers of the gospel (2 Corinthians 5:18–20), only those who discover and submit to their calling walk fully in that purpose. When we seek first God’s kingdom (Matthew 6:33), align with His will (Ephesians 2:10), and yield to His Spirit, “all things work together for good” (Romans 8:28, AMP). Find His purpose, and your life will gain eternal direction and impact.
In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and his purpose for our lives .
PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and wisdom for excellence.
