Your Calling Won’t Carry You—Strengthen the Inner Man

The calling puts a mantle on you, but it’s the inner man—the fruit of the Spirit—that sustains you when the spotlight's off. Most people don’t get taken out in public ministry; it’s in the private battles—emotional strain, marriage tension, family crisis—where their strength gives out. Your personal life will affect your calling. Even Paul noted that he had grace to avoid distractions many of us face—like the very real pressure of family needs competing with spiritual assignment. That’s why your inner life—your wheel, your personal capacity—has to be strong enough to carry the weight of convergence.
