ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
Let peace and mercy from our Lord Jesus Christ multiply in your life today! I pray, so that God´s word impregnates and strengthens your soul, spirit and body. People often ask me a question how to reveal their personal calling. “What is calling? How to reveal personal calling and how to enter it? How to grow in personal calling?” – these are questions people ask me. Since the topic is vitally important, God urged me to enlighten it for broader audience.Recognising of your calling and your task in this life is a process that consists of many small details. Quite often, people try to reveal their calling, while neglecting those small details that make the whole process. Nowadays, many people are unhappy because they either lack revelation for their life or oppose to such revelation, or simply lack understanding of how to fulfil the revelation. Let´s figure it all out.First thing to know is the fact that you were born to carry out a certain task. Bible says our life on this Earth has a goal and value determined. You are not a result of an accident! You were born on this Earth not just for the matter of occupying some space and breathing. You´ve got a mission to fulfil, a way to measure. You are created to take care for others and saved to minister. There many places in the Bible talking about this. We are going to elaborate the verse from Paul´s letter to Ephesians 2:10 
«For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.».
 There is a very deep truth is buried in this short verse. Looking at the context we can notice that Paul is saying we are saved by faith not by our deeds. By faith we receive what God has done for us in Christ. Though, the Holy Spirit affirms that deeds must follow the act of salvation. In other words, we are not saved by deeds but to do deeds. “For we are His workmanship”, we didn´t come into this life by accident. Intelligent Creator made us. Our life has its source and roots in God. Hellenic word “poiema” interpreted as “creation” or “creature” is a stem of the word “poem” and talks about composition. Such word is used to describe any completed artwork like a statue, a song, a poetry or a painting.It stresses the fact, that we are the masterpieces created by the Almighty God. He is the designer of our lives, when we are just the products of His mastership.  
«Know that Yahweh, he is God. It is he who has made us, and we are his. We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.» (Psalms 99:3).
 We are His creation, so He created us in His likeness. Every person was created as unique, that´s why each of us is worthy and valuable. God is not a god of chaos and chance, but the Author of life, also the Author of your life from the moment you were conceived till your last day – everything has been already planned by Him. 
«For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to you, For I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well. My frame wasn’t hidden from you, When I was made in secret, Woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my body. In your book they were all written, The days that were ordained for me, When as yet there were none of them. How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them!!» (Psalms 138:13-17).
  The God who created us, also counted our days on this Earth and things we are going to do. It´s only Him who knows how we are designed and how we should function. God made us according to His purpose for our life.  
«For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope in your latter end.» (Jeremiah 29:11).
 Reason about this verse from Scripture today and try to understand that God has god intentions to you. He has prepard a wonderful future for you!Meet you tomorrow!Lord bless you abundantly!Rufus Adjiboje, pastor

    First, we must choose with our will to have the fear of God above all else.

    Yesterday we started discussing how we can enter our ministry. We established that, first; we need a strong desire to serve. This desire is tied to our understanding of God’s will and the purpose of our salvation. As we talked about, ministry helps us to reveal our potential. Ministry helps us to find out about ourselves, our calling in the establishment of God’s Kingdom on earth and doing the works that are pleasing to God. God has predestined for us to do particular good works. God desires for us to be fruitful and glorify Him on earth. Through our ministry God wants to fill this earth with the knowledge of Him and His Kingdom. He wants us to establish His principles in every sphere of life and win people for Him by the ministry we do on earth.

    “Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.” (2 Tim.2:19)Practical righteousness is the solid foundation on which to build your Christian life and ensure that you receive God’s favour.

    God’s Kingdom is bigger than just a church; the Kingdom cannot be hidden inside the church walls. The Bible tells us that we are salt to the earth and light to the world. It means that our ministry has to go beyond the boarders of a church and leave an impact on the city, the country and the world. We need to think of how to salt the earth and enlighten the world.We should start locally; but we must think globally. «You shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth», – said Jesus in Acts (1: 8).
