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

    Today I would like to start discussing about the blessedness or beauty of serving others.Ministry is a widespread concept among believers. In essence, ministry is giving of all things: giving of one’s talents and gifts, one’s knowledge and time, one’s heart and resources. The Kingdom of God is built through such giving. Your church is built by your giving and ministry. It says in the Bible that it is more blessed to give than to receive. God blesses those who serve, so if you want to get to the top of God’s blessedness learn to serve God and people.

    Elijah was the spiritual father of Elisha. After Elisha closely observed the life of this man of God in his life and saw all the miracles that God performed through Elijah, he understood that the key to Elijah’s success was his love and total commitment to God. So Elisha desired and became hungry for the same anointing and lifestyle of Elijah his mentor. But more interestingly is the fact that Elisha wasn’t satisfied to do just what Elijah did; he craved for the double portion of Elijah’s his anointing.

    So, we get different ideas about changing our life, but these ideas do not come to pass automatically. An idea must grow into a desire. Then as a desire grows stronger, a person makes a decision, and that’s when it gets more serious! But many people stop at this point. The thing is that you must go from a decision to some actions. A decision must turn into actions if you want to see any real changes in your life.

  • How do we make sure that the Word of God abides in us?

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    Why are there so much fear, panic, disappointment, weariness and tiredness in the lives of many believers? It is because the Word of God does not abide in them. God wants us to be filled with the Word. When we read the word of God with the understanding that we need the word daily as our source of light and direction, then we are motivated to do read it even more. Since I want to be spiritually strong and able to overcome the wicked one, I want to have the understanding of God’s purpose for my life, I want His direction as to how to carry out my assignment and I want to walk in purity in my life – and for this very reason I read God’s Word and study it on a regular basis.
