THE CALL

Happy New week Fam!

As a way of introduction, Life is not a game that answers to luck. Life is a call that answers to Responsibility. We are delighted to bring to you another inspiring article on Purpose and hope you are blessed by it. 

In our previous articles on Purpose, we have defined and explained what Purpose is. This article will not be complete without first going through the definition of Purpose. If we do not have a clear grasp of what Purpose is, then we cannot align ourselves with these topic series. 

What then is Purpose?.

Purpose is the reason behind every existence or smply put, Purpose is the reason behind every call. It is the intention for every call. Science makes us to understand that during copulation between a man and a woman, every embryo formed is the only sperm that succeeded in fertilizing the egg of the woman; and this is out of over hundreds of millions of sperm released by the man. For this reason, other than science, every man should know that there is an important call upon his life. You are not just formed an accident but there is a reason you exist. We must understand that there is a call on every human being on Earth. Whether we respond to the call or not, the fact still remains that every individual has a call of God on them. Let's study creation; after God has created the first man Adam, He found a purpose for Him and this He revealed to him through His call. He also had another for his wife Eve, this he also revealed through her call.

What is this call? 

In simple words,  a call simply means "to beckon", "to summon" or "to request". Therefore, everyone on the planet was beckoned, summoned and requested by God for a particular reason. For instance before we dial the number of anyone on our phone, we will first have an intention for calling. This is true right?. There is no call without a purpose for the call; maybe it's just to greet or pass information etc. There is always a reason for putting a call through to someone. Even for those who say there's no reason, just felt like calling you - there is in actual sense a reason. 

Hence, the first thing before a call is a reason. We can simply say there cannot be a call without an intention. The reason behind every call is called Purpose.

 There is a widespread fallacy that only men of God such as Pastors, Apostles, Evangelists etc have the call of God upon them but I'm here to convince you that everyone has a call on them. It's not only those that hold spiritual positions of authority that have a call driving them. Every individual posseses a calling, whether it's a call into leadership, business, health, etc.  However it is important to know that the reason for calling any individual will always be different. That is how God has made it. The call of God on our individual lives is different. As our natural faces are different, so is every man's path different and also in the same vein, our calling.

If the reason for calling every individual is different, this shows that not every individual can walk the same path in achieving their purpose. As an individual called into leadership, there is a different path for you compared to he who is called into health but you must first recognize the calling and then focus on  the things you need to do about the calling; the steps you need to take and the paths you have to follow.

We all have the call of God but different reasons (Purpose) and nevertheless, we have a responsibility to pick or not to. Picking the call here simply means knowing the caller (who is God), responding to the call, discovering the reasons behind the call, and taking personal responsibility on the instructions given.
