In Gal 2:8, Apostle Paul was saying that the same God who worked with Peter in his assignment also worked with Paul to accomplish his assignment. Friend every God-given assignment is important to God. God is ready, willing and able to work with you to accomplish your assignment.
However you must refuse to be intimidated by the assignment of others. Apostle Paul lived at a time when it was not popular to minister to non-Jews. He could have felt that his assignment was inferior to the assignepment of others. Rather he magnified his office.
Settle it in your mind today. Your assignment is important to God and to your generation. If this was not true, you would not have been created. So live your life like you have an important mission. Don't be distracted or discouraged by the views or comments of others. As you celebrate and prioritize your assignment, others will eventually celebrate your results.

God is Faithful
God is faithful to do what He said He would do. The Bible says that He is not man that He should lie, if He said it, He is faithful to do it - Num 23:19 & Isa 55:11. Our hope or expectation is based on faith in God and His Word. At the same time hope acts as a catalyst for faith.
According to Heb 10:23 we must remain committed to our profession of hope and not waver. If our hope is based on a revelation of God's Word or a spoken Word from God then there is no need to doubt or waver. However if our hope is based on mental assent then that hope will eventually give way to doubt.
Whatever you are believing God for in this season must be anchored on God's Word. Then you can be rest assured that He who promised is faithful to deliver. Begin to rejoice and praise God now because you have received it - Heb 11:1 & 2 Cor 5:7.
Scripture References:
Num 23:19 NKJV
"“God is not a man, that He should lie,
Nor a son of man, that He should repent.
Has He said, and will He not do?
Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?"
Isa 55:11 NKJV
"So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it."
Heb 10:23 NKJV
"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful."
