Awakening Your Calling, Recovering Lost Time & Following God’s Plan | PURPOSE vs DESTINY (PART 2)

PURPOSE vs DESTINY — PART 2 PEC MENTORSHIP SESSION, 23 JULY 2026 How does God awaken a person to their calling? What happens when someone ignores or abandons God’s plan? Can missed opportunities, wrong career decisions or years of delay permanently destroy a person’s destiny? In Part 2 of this PEC Mentorship Session, Paul Esuon Joshua continues the discussion on purpose and destiny by addressing the awakening, discernment, choices, relationships and responsibilities involved in fulfilling God’s plan. The session begins with Paul’s personal account of asking questions about existence and purpose from childhood, his burden for revival among young people, and the experiences through which God awakened him to his own purpose, calling and mandate to help unlock the destinies of others. The discussion explores: • How God gradually awakens people to purpose and calling • Why a person must first be awake before helping others awaken • The relationship between gifts, talents and the journey of destiny • The responsibility involved in speaking about another person’s destiny • Why prophetic direction requires maturity and discernment • Whether spouses must have similar or complementary assignments • How marriage can support the fulfillment of purpose • Whether spiritual gifts and callings can appear across generations • The difference between family influence and Christ’s personal call • Whether pastors should know the purpose and calling of their members • What may happen when a person refuses to follow God’s plan • The relationship between disobedience, inner unrest, family consequences and life crises • Whether it is ever too late to begin fulfilling destiny • Repentance, recovery and preparing the next generation • Why Jesus is the ultimate standard for understanding destiny • How parents can suppress or nurture the destiny of a child • How to test prophetic words without despising prophecy • Identity, education, career choices and the desire to leave one’s country • Practical steps for someone who believes they have missed God’s plan • A clarification of the discussion about the American Dream from Part 1 This session offers hope to anyone who feels delayed, confused, frustrated or uncertain about the direction of their life. It also challenges parents, leaders, pastors and mentors to treat the lives entrusted to them as a sacred stewardship. It is never too late to acknowledge where you missed God, repent, seek His direction and make yourself available for what He can still accomplish through you and the generations after you.
