Do you know what is your mission in this life?

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes

Welcome, my dear friends! Mercy and peace of our Father God and our Lord, Jesus Christ be with you. I am glad that you find the time to visit our column “Daily word for spiritual strength” and add to your wisdom hidden in the word of God. The word of God brings light into our life.

For a few days we have been discussing how important it is to reveal and fulfil God´s will in our life. Jesus set a best example of how to achieve that. The God´s will and its fulfilment bring abundance and happiness into our life. Yesterday we mentioned three ways of how we need to grow in order to fulfil our mission on this Earth.

First of all, you have to personally know God, His nature, His heart and the goals He set for His creatures.

Secondly, you have to know yourself as a different person, one who sits with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. It´s necessary to understand your mission and the goal of your life on Earth, the power you´ve been given as a child of God and your heritage you possess together with the holy ones.

As a third thing, you should get to know your enemy – satan. We need a revelation about how to fight the devil, so that we can fulfil our mission on Earth.

We are created in Christ to do good works, God has already prepared for you.

«For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.»(Ephesians 2:10).

Doing God´s will means doing the good works God prepared for you. When Jesus began His ministry, He openly declared his mission, because He was clearly aware of His mission.

«The book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. He opened the book, and found the place where it was written,
“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, Because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken-hearted, To proclaim release to the captives, Recovering of sight to the blind, To deliver those who are crushed, And to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.” He closed the book, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him. He began to tell them, “Today, this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”» (Luke 4:17-21).

Jesus opened the Scripture and found His mission there, so He revealed God´s will for His life. Jesus encountered all the good deeds God wanted Him to do, namely:

  • to preach good news (to share the Gospel) to the poor;
  • to heal the broken-hearted;
  • to proclaim release to the captives;
  • recovering of sight to the blind;
  • to deliver those who are crushed.

Everyone can reveal God´s will by doing the same. Do not limit yourself with prayers and difficult questions you may have. Study the Bible setting the goal to reveal your mission, it´s already written there. Ask God in prayer to open your eyes and let you see yourself in the Bible.

As you are praying, reading the Bible and meditate on it, Jesus will visit you through the Holy Spirit and open your heart, the same way He did it to the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, so that you can understand the Scripture.

«As they said these things, Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, “Peace be to you.” … He said to them, “This is what I told you, while I was still with you, that all things which are written in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms, concerning me must be fulfilled.” Then he opened their minds, that they might understand the Scriptures.» (Luke 24:36,44-45).

The Bible tells us that Jesus sends us to the world the way His Father sent Him to the world.

«As you sent me into the world, even so I have sent them into the world.» (John 17:18).

This verse tells us that God wants every believer to reveal his mission by having constant fellowship and close relationships with God and by studying His word. God also wants us to talk and declare our mission just like Jesus did, thus confirm ourselves in God´s will.

Do you know what is your mission in this life? Have you revealed your mission? Can you see yourself while reading the Scripture? Remember, fulfilment of God´s will in your life is vitally important, because the fulfilment of global God´s will depends on it.

God bless you today! Rufus Adjiboye, pastor

    We are talking about the importance of knowing and doing God’s will. Yesterday we talked about the fact that God reveals His plans and intentions to us gradually as we reach particular levels of maturity and grow in our ability to accept what He has prepared for us. We also established that God reveals His will to those who are close to Him, seek His will and are willing to do His will. God looks at what we do with what we already know, and only then He will reveal the next part of His plan for our lives.

  • There are three main types of believers: observers, consumers/users and servants! II

    The third type of believers is servants. Servants are the ones that are on the giving end. It is more blessed to give than it is to receive. We all like to receive, but if we want to be truly blessed we need to look for opportunities to give.Jesus said that the rivers of living water will flow out of those who believe in Him:«”He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified» (John, 7:38-39 ).

  • You have been created, redeemed and restored! You were born twice!

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
    We are not only created by God, we are also reworked or recreated by Jesus Christ. We are talking about the opportunity available to sinful people because Christ has come into this world. This is exactly what the letter to Ephesians says:«You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the powers of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience; among whom we also all once lived in the lust of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus; for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.» (Ephesians 2:1-10).
