Understanding
the call on our life is a great blessing. We should know the Lord did
not just save us for life in heaven, but has a special plan for our
lives here on earth. With this understanding, life takes on a whole
new meaning. I believe we a know what we are to do but, fear and
insecurity cloud our minds, we ignore our mission.
I know my
mission is share what I have learned about the life of faith. For
many years I side stepped this call, until I understood our gifts are
to used for the Lord's glorious purposes, not to hide or ignore them.
We have been honored by God and play an intricate part of His plan.
I now
understand that not accepting my mission by faith is sin, plain and
simple. Whatever we do, it must be in faith and love for one another
(John 10:10). Insecurity, fear and ignoring the call on our life will
not lead to the fullness of life that Jesus died to give us. We block
our own blessing!
Many
believe that receiving salvation is the end of the road and all we
have to do is wait for heaven. The truth is our reward begins in
acknowledging and pursuing our individual mission.
How will I
know my Mission? These are some clues to what the Lord has chosen you
to do:
1) Out of
your comfort zone: The Lord’s call is never easy, and it will
challenge every part of your reason and resolve.
2) Element
of danger: You will have to put yourself out there on the front-line
against the devil’s stronghold.
3) Element
of risk: It will cost something.
The Holy
Spirit's nudge keeps us moving in the right direction and we are
fully equipped to complete the mission.
What is
that one thing the Spirit keeps bringing to your mind? What makes
your ears perk up? Listen carefully, then step out in faith leaving
the consequences to the Lord's glorious purpose.
“Thy
kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven”
Amen!!!
