How Can We Know Our Place in God's Plan? – Part 2
In Part 2 of the answer to "How Can We Know Our Place in God's Plan?" Papa Teach dives deeper into what it really means to discover your God-given gift, calling, or spiritual office. He challenges the modern church culture that reduces divine purpose to personality tests and surface-level self-assessments, reminding listeners that true spiritual gifts are supernaturally assigned, validated by the Holy Spirit, and empowered through faith and obedience.
Papa Teach confronts the growing trend of valuing talent and charisma over God’s anointing, warning that when human metrics replace divine selection, counterfeit gifts and spiritual deception creep into the church. Referencing Moses, Jeremiah, and the biblical offices, he emphasizes that God's choices often defy human expectations—and that spiritual authority is marked by burden, transformation, and holiness, not popularity.
This episode also outlines six powerful steps to help believers identify and nurture their divine purpose, including: serving with your natural talents, seeking God in prayer and fasting, submitting to spiritual leadership, exercising spiritual discernment, embracing the Word as your worldview, and listening to the burden God places on your heart.
Papa Teach leaves listeners with a challenge: to live Godly, stay connected to a Bible-believing church, and reject the counterfeit in favor of authentic power from God. In doing so, you’ll not only discover your place in His plan—you’ll become a vessel fit for His use.
