Called to Serve: Understanding God’s Purpose for You and Your Gift is a practical biblical guide to discovering your gifts, understanding your calling, and preparing yourself to fulfil the assignment God has given you.
Mawuli Nyador addresses one of the important questions many Christians, especially young ministers, wrestle with: What has God called me to do? Drawing from Scripture, ministry experience, and practical examples, the book explains that every person has been endowed with gifts and that no genuine gift is insignificant in the purposes of God.
The book explores different categories of gifts, including natural gifts, motivational gifts, spiritual or manifestation gifts, and ministry gifts. It explains how these gifts function, why they are given, and how they can be used to serve others and bring glory to God. Readers are also encouraged to understand that different gifts have different functions and that there is no need to compete with others or measure their calling against someone else's ministry.
Nyador then turns to the subject of calling, examining what it means to be called by God and how a person's gifts, passions, values, and burden for service can point toward their assignment. Through biblical examples including Noah, Samson, the prophets, and John the Baptist, the book emphasizes that every calling is unique and that the goal is not recognition, titles, popularity, or comparison, but faithful obedience to God.
The book also provides practical steps for discovering spiritual gifts, including studying Scripture, reflecting on personal abilities and interests, seeking feedback from trusted Christian friends and mentors, exploring different areas of service, and pursuing training where necessary.
But discovering a gift is only the beginning. Called to Serve emphasizes the importance of developing and harnessing that gift through discipline, preparation, practice, consistency, and spiritual growth. Readers are challenged to prepare themselves physically, mentally, socially, and spiritually so they can effectively fulfil their calling.
Particularly relevant to young ministers, church workers, Christian leaders, ministry volunteers, and believers seeking direction, this book challenges the pursuit of fame and recognition in ministry and redirects attention toward service, accountability, character, humility, and purpose.
Ultimately, your gift is not merely for you. It is a tool for serving others and fulfilling God's purpose. Called to Serve encourages every believer to discover what God has placed within them, develop it faithfully, and use it for the advancement of God's Kingdom.
