1 Corinthians 9:16
For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for necessity is laid upon me; yes, woe is me if I do not preach the gospel!
Paul described his supernatural call by God to bring the Gospel to the world, first the Jews, then the gentiles. The call is an overwhelming force that Paul recognized and submits to it, in order for God to work powerfully through him. God chooses people according to His will, not based on people's merit or history. God will align circumstances to work out the calling and the mission. For the people, they still need to yield and surrender to God's will, so that God can make use of them.
