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

    «The LORD said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” The LORD shall send the rod of Your strength out of Zion. Rule in the midst of Your enemies» (Psalm 110:1-2).This passage talks about Christ: «Rule in the midst of Your enemies», but the Body of Christ — His Church — is included in this prophetic word. Jesus was told to sit at the right hand of God; but it would be God’s children that would overcome God’s enemies and every thing that rise against the will of God. God wants us to rule and reign in the midst of the enemies and unfavourable circumstances. We must rule because we have been given God’s authority and we were born conquerors.

    When we talk about changes, we talk about the condition of one’s heart. What others do to us does not come from us; it is directed towards us to test the condition of our hearts. Our reaction to the actions of others and the outside pressure determine the content of our hearts.«Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life» (Proverbs, 4:23).

    In order for us to learn react to problems and pain in a correct manner we need a revelation about the fact that while we live in this world there will be no end to pain and hardships. For as long as sin exists on the earth pain won’t cease in people’s lives. We suffer not only due to our own sins and wrong decisions, but also due to the sins and wrong decisions of other people.Joshua and Caleb, as well as the whole generation of Israel that finally entered the Promised Land were forced to wander through the wilderness for almost 40 years. Why? We know that Joshua and Caleb had a different spirit and they believed God and walked in obedience. Nevertheless, due to the wrong decisions made by other people they had to suffer and wander in the wilderness for all that time.

  • Any change in our life is done by the Holy Spirit, who transforms us and moves us from glory to glory

    Are you able to accomplish something only the Holy Spirit can do? Surely not! However, by constantly watching the glory of the Lord with open face the Holy Spirit can transform us into the same image, from glory to glory.I noticed there is a problem with persistence in our fellowship with God not with coming before Him. You probably experience the time when inspiration visits you and you are willing to get closer to God and have fellowship with Him. While those moments come rather rarely or very rarely they do not change anything in essence. We all need persistence! During fellowship with God Holy Spirit will work at your heart, at your character, at your relationships, at your way of thinking that, in turn, will transform you.
