Week of Prayer 2026 - Session V: Rev. Melvin Cross - Called Out, Set Apart

The message teaches that believers are set apart by God for a specific purpose, a concept the speaker calls “distinction for destiny.” Students are encouraged to use the Week of Prayer to seek God for clarity about their calling and direction, trusting that God still speaks and gives guidance to those who pursue Him. Drawing from First Epistle of Peter 2:9, the speaker reminds them that they are chosen and set apart, and that fulfilling their calling requires consecration, discipline, and a firm commitment to obedience, even when it means standing apart from culture. The central message is that God entrusts influence and destiny to those who first demonstrate faithfulness through prayer, surrender, and spiritual discipline, encouraging students to give God an unwavering “yes” and be ready for the purpose He has prepared for them.
