The reason God separates the called is often to prepare them for greater assignments.
Often as a farmer, seeds don’t grow in a clustered environment, there will be a need to separate such seeds from a choked environment, hence the need to prepare a place, suitable for the seed, away from weeds, away from unhealthy soil and every other unhealthy environment, necessary for the seed to thrive.
This is often the process of removing everything classified as noise and distractions to promote healthy development.
In the same way, God removes us from every distraction, when we have a greater calling for our lives.
Notice that God had to allow Joseph to be removed amongst his brothers and sisters, because, he would be distracted and choked, if he were to remain in his father’s house and this would disturb Joseph from hearing God clearly and hinder God from accomplishing what God, wants to do with Joseph's life.
Isaiah 55:5 KJV
Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.
Even the called is not aware of why he/she behaves in certain ways, different from others, but God know, what He wants to achieve, with the called.
Romans 8:30 KJV
Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
The ones called are called for special religious duties and when it is time, He knows how to get their attention.
1 Corinthians 1:24 KJV
But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
Anyone can be called to fulfil any religious duties for God.
1 Thessalonians 2:12 KJV
That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.
Whatever assignments given to you by God are what the while and those called are usually glorified, if we heed the call and fail not.
2 Timothy 1:9 KJV
Who hath saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
His calling is according to his pleasure, completely different from our own desires. So our purposes are designed according to his own plan and purpose, not ours.
Genesis 45:7 KJV
And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
In all these, Joseph comforted his brothers and families, that all that happened to him, was for a noble cause, which was to preserve them in time of famine. Such as they can finally see in Egypt.
May these biblical experiences, illuminate our hearts with discernment and understanding in Jesus’ Name, Amen.
