Why does God call extraordinary people to do His work on Earth?
By James Katende – God calls extraordinary people to do His work on Earth, not because they are inherently more capable or qualified, but because He sees potential in each person to fulfil a unique role in His divine plan.
God has a purpose for everyone, and sometimes, He calls individuals with special gifts, experiences, or circumstances to carry out specific tasks that will serve His greater purpose.
Throughout Scripture, God often called ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things, showing that it is not our strength or ability that matters, but our willingness to surrender to His will.
However, some individuals may appear extraordinary because they have been equipped with unique talents, wisdom, or influence that allow them to make a significant impact. God uses their gifts to bring about transformation in ways that align with His greater mission.
This call to extraordinary people is not about personal glory but about magnifying God’s greatness and showing His power through human vessels. God uses those who are willing, obedient, and faithful, regardless of their background or status, to do the work He requires on Earth. Ultimately, the extraordinary nature of those He calls serves to highlight the greatness of God, whose power is made perfect in our weakness.
