Is your Image worth your Calling?

• Image = reputation, comfort, and approval
• Calling= Identity in Christ, purpose, and assignment 
• But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his apperance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart. -| Samuel 16:7

• A Your calling is based on you inward obedience while your image focuses on outward approval
  • You can look right and still be misaligned.
  • Jesus never protected his image he was misunderstood, labeled a troublemaker, rejected by religious leaders, and crucified as a criminal.
  • If he guarded his image, the cross never wouldve happened

“rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death even death on a cross.” –Philippians 2:7-6

When your image matters more than your calling

• You shrink your voice.
•   You delay what God told you to do
•   You compromise truth to stay accepted for they loved human praise more than praise from

• “for they loved human praise more than praise from God” – John 12:43

• Your calling will offend your old image!!!
  • Your calling doesnt negotiate with comfort it will make people uncomfortable, require you to be misunderstood, seperate you from old labels and expose areas you’d rather keep hidden.

Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.” -Galatians 1:10

• Remember that God Called you with intention which means your calling is heaven sent/approved which is worth more than temporary reputation!!!!!

“And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.” -‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭30‬ ‭
