Calling: to be set apart for a God-centered purpose

Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted. 18Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:16-20

4 Things Purpose Will Do for You

1: A purpose will motivate you

Where there is no vision, the people perish. Proverbs 29:18 KJV

2: A purpose will help you determine priorities

3: A purpose will help to develop your potential

Remember that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize. You also must run in such a way that you will win. 25All athletes practice strict self-control. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. 26So I run straight to the goal with purpose in every step. I am not like a boxer who misses his punches. 27I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified. 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 NLT

4. A purpose will give you power to live in the present

16Be joyful always; 17pray continually; 18give thanks in all circumstances,

for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1Thessalonians 5:16-18

Pray:

What is God’s Spirit speaking into your life today?

How must you respond?
