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

    In the Gospel of Mathew Jesus told a parable about Master giving his servants different talents. «For the kingdom of heaven is like a man travelling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered goods to them. And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey» (Mathew, 25: 14-15).Jesus shows us here that the criterion of His assessment is not quantity, but faithfulness. God know that every one of us has different abilities, so the quantitative result will be different for different people. Numbers are not important to Jesus; He cares about how faithful you have been with what God has given you. He cares about your attitude towards His work.

    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).

    «My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart; for they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh. Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life» (Proverbs, 4:20-23). Based on this Scripture, we can argue that the course of your life, my destiny or yours should not depend on somebody else but on ourselves. You must take charge of your life and destiny!

  • Purpose for living V

    After Solomon forsook God for a season, he tried to find happiness and satisfaction in different things and activities. We see that Solomon made several attempts which all lead to disappointment. For a wise person Solomon’s experience can become good lesson in what the wrong ways to happiness are. We mentioned that Solomon sought happiness in education and knowledge, in fun and pleasures, in beauty, in works of men’s hands. Afterwards he came to a conclusion that despite the fact that all these things are important and necessary for living, none of them can make us happy, if God is excluded from our life. Solomon said that everything under the sun is vanity and grasping for the wind. Solomon’s conclusion was that everything that happens under the sun is vanity and grasping for the wind – if apart from God.

  • Without faith it is IMPOSSIBLE to please God

    Faith, – biblical faith is cooperation with God in all sense. God will not do everything for you. He will not do for you, what you are unwilling to do yourself.Don’t just fold your arm in passivity expecting God to put bread in your mouth. The proof that you have faith in God is to carry out the instruction you already know. That is the essence of praying and reading the Bible, – to discern His will and understand His mind concerning a given situation and then act on what you know God is calling you to do.
