Just a contemplation of the meaning of these all.
I do believe that when God created a person, he has a purpose. For He’s God with purpose. Not doing things unthinkingly or haphazardly. The whole account of the Bible clearly says that God is wonderful planner & creator.
As such, every person carry life’s mission. The purpose which God created them.
The next question then…whether up to them to find out? Or God will tell them? Or probably both ways? Looking quickly into the Bible, and these few patters appear:
1. Anointing moments (be it directly by God himself, or by someone else whom the Lord sends)
Example whom someone else anoint the person for his life mission:
– Joseph by Pharaoh : “you’re to be 2nd in charge after me…”
– Saul by Ananias : “brother Saul, the Lord sent me to annoint you …. to proclaim his name among the gentiles”
– Paul & Barnabas by the Church : “Dedicate Paul & Barnabas for the task I’ve assigned for them”
– Saul & David by Samuel then subsequent kings : “I annoint you King over Israel..”
– Peter by Jesus : “You are now fishers of men.”
Example those annointed by God himself through divine encounter:
– Abraham : “Go into the place i will show you”
– Moses: “I sent you to Pharaoh..”
– Jesus: “This is my son whom I’m well pleased.”
– Jeremiah: “I called you.”
What then if we never encounter those moments in life? Meaning God didn’t speak directly, or nobody come to us and tell us the mission for us?
