When I say “Uncommon”, I’m not just talking about my story or calling —I’m talking about yours, and many others too. There’s a myriad of men and women in the Bible who had uncommon paths, and in their brokenness, God strength was made perfect and used them in remarkable ways which have left a lasting impact generation after generation.
So join me on this journey. Let’s embrace the uncommon path our Father has carved out for each of us and live SET APART— and bring glory to His precious name.
1. Moses – From reluctant leader and exile to deliverer of Israel, Moses took on an uncommon mission that showcased God’s power, delivering his people from Egypt demonic system (Exodus 3-14).
2. Esther – A Jewish orphan who became queen and saved an entire nation through intercession. (Esther 4:14).
3. Joseph – Sold into slavery by his own brothers, Joseph rose to become Egypt’s second-in-command, demonstrating how God can redeem our trials to save others (Genesis 37-50).
4. Ruth – A Moabite widow who, by following her mother-in-law Naomi, stepped into the lineage of Jesus, showing the power of loyalty, faith, and redemption (Ruth 1-4).
5. Paul – Once a fierce persecutor of Christians, Paul’s dramatic transformation led him to become one of the most influential apostles, spreading the gospel to the Gentiles (Acts 9, Romans).
6. Mary Magdalene – A woman healed from seven demons who became one of Jesus’ most devoted followers and the first to witness His resurrection, showing God’s love for the broken (Luke 8:2, John 20:1-18).
7. Nehemiah – A cupbearer turned wall-builder, Nehemiah led the rebuilding of Jerusalem’s walls, demonstrating how God uses unlikely leaders to restore what is broken (Nehemiah 1-6).
These people have all embraced “Uncommon” callings that defied expectations, may you be the Next Moses, Esther, Ruth, Nehemiah of your family, your generation or whatever sphere of influence he placed you in to reveal His glory.
