Your Calling versus Your Kingdom Assignment

your calling versus your kingdom assignment

Is your Calling and your Kingdom Assignment the same thing? Are you looking for your unique calling, and just can’t seem to find it? Or perhaps you’re feeling deep down, that there’s something more for you. Then let’s experience some breakthroughs together.

Step One: Let’s Clarify Your Calling from Your Kingdom Assignment

As Believers of The Way (yes that’s what Jesus’ followers were called), we are all Called to the same things, and for the same purpose.

Yet your Kingdom Assignment, where, whom, and how you are to serve is totally unique and designed just for you.

No one, and I repeat no one, can fill your place in Gods Kingdom. No one can take your place. It’s your place, and only yours. Your assignment cannot be stolen from you, unless of course you allow it to be taken from you.

Step Two: Understanding Your Calling

First and foremost, there is NO calling unless we answer The One who is Calling. Please read that again. This statement is vital, and so easy to miss. When missed, it leads to frustration, wasted time and energy.

You and I would not even have this feeling that we are Called to something greater, and to be more than we are, if there wasn’t Someone Calling us. “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; …” John 6:44 (NKJV)

If you feel you have wasted time, perhaps even years, looking for your calling and never really finding it. There is hope. Our gracious Father is the great redeemer of time, and He never lets anything go to waste!

Peaceful start to the morning

I invite you to read my Thought Post dedicated to this very subject. Are You Walking In Your True Calling?

As followers of Jesus, we have all been Called to the same things and for the same purpose. So then, what exactly have we been Called to?

We have been Called to:

  • Follow Jesus
  • Obey His Commands
  • Surrender Fully
  • Make Disciples, baptising people in the name of The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit
  • We are to heal the sick
  • Cast out demons and
  • Destroy the works of the devil. To take back all that was lost, stolen and destroyed, and lay it at the feet of our Lord.

How are we supposed to do this?
By the Power of The Holy Spirit (in us and upon us)

For What Purpose:
For the Glory of our Father

Romans 11:36

That’s it. That’s your Calling, and the Calling of all followers of Jesus.

We are not to just pray, and survive, and hang-on-for-dear-life until our Lord comes to do all of the above for us. No! We were designed to walk in Love, Grace and Power. Designed to actively co-partner with the Holy Spirit in this amazing Calling; and to do so in our own unique Kingdom Assignments areas.

Does that mean we are all meant to leap into full-time ministry, become pastors etc., No! It might be for some to fulfil these Kingdom Assignments, but for many of us it’s not. Our Calling is the same, but our Kingdom Assignments look different!

Before we continue though, I feel a need to first check in with you. How does knowing your Calling make you feel? Are you feeling anxious, fearful and overwhelmed by what you’ve just read?” Is that the enemy coming at you right now, wanting you to quit reading, and move onto something else? Don’t let him! Keep reading and behold the joy that awaits you.

Perhaps instead you may be feeling filled with great excitement around the simple clarity of your Calling. For you realize, that if this is what each of us is Called to do, then surely, we will be well equipped to do it AND receive all the Power to do so successfully.

Just imagine, a world filled with ordinary believers, like you and I, fulfilling all of the above? How God’s Glory would shine on our earth. Hallelujah!

“And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying: “Blessing and honour and glory and power Be to Him who sits on the throne, And to the Lamb, forever and ever!”

Revelation 5:13 (NKJV)

Step Three: Let’s Clarify Your Kingdom Assignment

As mentioned above, your Kingdom Assignment or Assignments, as you will have several, have been designed for you long before you were born.

“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”

Ephesians 2:10 (NIV)

You were created in a specific way, with certain characteristics, likes & dislikes; loves, passions, natural talents and abilities. None of this is an accident. You were created with all this uniqueness for a purpose, for a reason. Everything was given to you in order for you to be amazing at what you were born to do; and to be able to co-labour with God on seeing His dreams and plans for your life fulfilled.

That’s why it’s so incredibly sad when we try to copy, intimate and follow others. We lose who we were created to be. No wonder we fail. We were not created by The Almighty as a mere copy, or shadow of someone else, but rather as totally unique men and women. Uniquely equipped to successfully fulfil His Assignments for us.

The more you trust and work with the Holy Spirit to discover who you really are; the more He will peel away even the things you think you are, and reveal to you who you really are. Be true to what is revealed to you, step into who you really are, and you will see how quickly your unique Kingdom Assignments will be revealed to you.

Once you are aligned with heaven, for heavens purposes, an incredible flow from heaven is released into your life, into all that you do, and everywhere you go. Blessings arrive at a pace that leaves you astounded, and in awe of the incredible Lord that we serve!

Please keep an eye on my future Thought Posts, and online workshops, as the Holy Spirit has so much more to say about this.

Do you see the incredible link between all of the below?
Answering the One who is Calling. Surrendering all. Building Intimacy with Him. How all of this leads to hearing His Voice clearly; which in turn leads to clarity on your Calling and revelation regarding your unique Kingdom Assignments? Amazing!

Let’s recap: We all have the same Calling and Called for the same purpose. Yet we each have unique and different Kingdom Assignments. Your Assignments are specifically designed for YOU, and only you can fulfil them. The faster you align with Heaven, the faster you will see God showing up in your life in even greater measure than you can possibly imagine.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”

Jeremiah 29:11 (NLT)

Prayer Points:

1) Father, thank you for revealing what our Calling is, please show us our next step to walk in this Calling that you have given us?
2) Lord, I know that you have a unique place for me in your Kingdom, designed just for me, please reveal to me my unique Kingdom Assignment?
3) Holy Spirit, please help me get to know the real me, as you designed me, (before influences, not from you, came upon me). Please teach me about my unique Kingdom Assignment, and what step I need to take next. Thank you.
