How to know what God created you to do – your specific assignment on earth

How to know what God created you to do; your specific assignment on earth

Why are you alive on earth today? What were you created to do? What is your specific assignment on earth?

God creates every person for a specific assignment on earth; to good works ordained before you are created.

Eph 2:10: For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them.

Before God formed you in your mother’s womb, He knew you and ordained you for a specific task on earth like He revealed to Jeremiah.

Before I formed you in the belly I knew you; and before you came forth out of the womb I sanctified you, and I ordained you a prophet unto the nations (Jer 1:5)

You are not on this earth by mistake. No person is born by mistake; it is the plan of God.

In the Bible, God created every person to carry out a specific assignment on earth. Let’s look at some of them.

God created Moses for only one assignment on earth; to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt.

Ex 3:10: Come now therefore, and I will send you unto Pharaoh, that you may bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.

When Moses accomplished his assignment on earth, God gave him rest in His kingdom.

God created Joshua for only one assignment on earth; to lead the children of Israel across river Jordan into the Promised Land. Joshua was the man created by God to take over after Moses.

Joshua 1:1-2: Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spoke unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ minister, saying, ‘Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel’.

God created David to shepherd and be a warrior to the children of Israel.

2 Sam 7:8: Now therefore so shall you say unto my servant David, Thus says the LORD of hosts, ‘I took you from the sheepfold, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel’

1 King 2:11: And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.

Solomon was created and placed on this earth to build the temple.

2 Sam 7:12-13: And when your days be fulfilled, and you sleep with your fathers, I will set up your seed after you, which shall proceed out of your bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

1 King 6:14: So Solomon built the temple, and finished it.

5. Jeremiah

Jeremiah was created and placed on earth to be a prophet

Jer 1:5: Before I formed thee in the belly I knew you; and before you came forth out of the womb I sanctified you, and I ordained you a prophet unto the nations.

Jonah was created to take repentance message to Nineveh

Jonah 1:1-2: Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, ‘Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me’.

Because of Jonah taking God’s message to Nineveh, Nineveh repented and God relented from the disaster that He was to bring upon Nineveh.

Jonah 3:10: And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.

7. John the Baptist

John the Baptist was created for only one assignment on earth; a voice in the wilderness to prepare the way for Jesus.

Mt 3:1-2: In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, And saying, ‘Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand’.

Many years ago God revealed through His servant prophet Isaiah that he will send a voice in the wilderness to prepare the way for Jesus.

Isa 40:3: The voice of him that cries in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

Mt 3:3: For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying, ‘The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight’.

A voice crying in the wilderness was prophesied many years ago before John the Baptist was created. From his creation by God even before his birth, John was ordained to be the voice.

You were created, born and ordained for a specific assignment on earth .

Paul was created to take the gospel to gentiles

Acts 9:15: But the Lord said unto him, ‘Go your way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel’

Acts 13:46-47: Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, ‘It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing you put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, ‘I have set you to be a light of the Gentiles, that you should be for salvation unto the ends of the earth’.

All these people in the Bible accomplished their assignments on earth and God gave them rest in His kingdom.

What about you? What were you created to do? What is your specific assignment on earth?

God created you and every person for a specific assignment on this earth. No person was born by mistake.

Why are you on earth?

You are alive on earth to carry out and accomplish the assignment (task) God created and ordained you to do. 

Life on earth has no meaning when you do not know why God placed you on it and you are not doing it.

When you know your specific assignment on earth, you know the timings in your life and when you finish it you can proudly say like Paul,

2 Tim 4:7: I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith

You cannot proudly say these words when you have lived a life without knowing your specific assignment on earth and accomplishing it.

God knows that it is difficult being a born-again person to live on earth but God does not take you out of this world for you to carry out your specific assignment and finish it.

Jesus prayed and asked God not to take His disciples out of the world but keep them from the evil (Satan) for them to accomplish their assignment.

John 17:15: I pray not that you should take them out of the world, but that you should keep them from the evil.

When you start living for what God created you for, your inheritance in heaven starts increasing and crowns starts being prepared for you. Heaven starts rejoicing and celebrating and all heaven and earthly resources are mobilized to you to accomplish your assignment on earth.

Why are you alive in this earth even when you have not realized you assignment on earth?

Because God is waiting for you to realize what you were created to do and start doing it. Do not wait until it is late.

How to know what God created you to do; your specific assignment on earth

When you delight in the LORD, He gives you heart desires.

Psalms 37:4: Delight yourself also in the LORD; and he shall give you the desires of your heart.

Listen to the desire in your heart. It is God who placed it in your heart for you to do and accomplish it.

Psalms 21:2: You have given him his heart’s desire

And it is the LORD to fulfill the desires in you, not you.

Psalms 145:19: He will fulfill the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.

Proverb 10:24: … the desire of the righteous shall be granted.

If you are not born again, do not listen to the desire of your heart because they are of the devil not from God.

If you are truly a bride of Jesus Christ, there is one desire in your heart which overpowers (powerful than) all other heart desires. That is what God created you to do.

The desire in you is from God if;

1. It is about serving God through humanity not yourself

God creates people to serve Him through humanity (Mt 25) not serve themselves, their families or children.

If the desire in your heart is about serving yourself, children and family, buying big cars, houses, etc for yourself and your family that is not from God.

For you to carry out what God created you to do on earth, for you to serve humanity. yourself must dies.

When you realize what you were created to do on earth and you start doing it, God grace and resources are sufficient for you to only focus on accomplishing your assignment on earth.

When you focus on your specific assignment on earth, God takes care of the rest. He will take care of you, your family and everything else.

I am an example to this.

From the day I realized why God placed me on this earth, I entirely focused on accomplishing it up to today. I do nothing else except accomplishing my assignment on earth and I have seen God take care of everything else in my life.

When you are carrying out your assignment on earth as ordained in you before God created you, God mobilizes all earthly and heavenly resources to you for you to accomplish your specific assignment on earth.

Reason you find that people carrying out their assignment as ordained by God from their creation are rich both heavenly and earthly.

See how to get both earthly and heavenly God riches and blessing; no tithing nor sowing seed

2. Gives you joy and fulfillment

Doing what you were created to do gives you happiness, joy and fulfillment in life which you cannot get anywhere else on this earth.

You can carry your assignment even without being paid, eating, etc but you find joy and fulfillment in doing that.

3. Accomplishing your heart desire is beyond you

If accomplishing the desire in your heart is beyond you, greater than you, it is from God.

If you can accomplishing your heart desire by yourself, that is not what God created you to do.

God creates every person for greatness and the greatness is beyond your reach but reachable only though the creator; Jesus Christ. Without Him you cannot achieve your greatness.

4. You do not struggle accomplishing God’s desire in your heart

When God was leading the children of Israel in the wilderness to the Promised Land, He led them with an angel and a cloud which never departed. The children of Israel just followed the cloud obediently.

And when the enemy came after them we see the cloud and angel moving in their back to protect them.

You (the church) are the children of Israel moving in the wilderness (world) to the Promised Land (heaven). See honor your father and your mother .

When you are doing what you were created to do, the angel and the cloud are with you, creating the way before you even parting the sea for you to pass through while protecting you.

God is always before you creating the way even were there seem no way. It is up to you to learn to obey and follow Him obediently.

You do not struggle when doing and accomplishing what is from God; your specific assignment on earth.

Seas will be parted before you, stones will give you water, quails will fall on your way, manna, etc as your accomplish God’s assignment on earth. It is when you see God’s miracles in your life.

Have you realized why you are on earth; your specific assignment on earth?

If yes, confirm from God. Confirm that the desire in your heart is what you were created to do on earth.

If no, ask God what He created you to do. You are alive on this earth for you to do a specific assignment ordained to you before God created you.

You life on this earth has no meaning to you and to the kingdom of heaven when you are living without knowing and doing what you were created by God to do and the kingdom of heaven is awaiting for the day you will wake up, realize why you are in this earth and do what you were created to do.

Some people are living on this earth as people they are not – You are living as someone else not you; doing some else assignment not your own

See no 2 people are send for the same assignment on earth

Before God created you, He decided what role He wanted you to play on earth. He planned exactly how He wanted you to serve Him, and then He created and shaped you for that task. You are the way you are because you were made specifically for a specific assignment on earth.

Something has been created for you to do, and you have been created specially to do it. You are uniquely created different from any other person on earth.

Be yourself. Stop being someone else.

When you are living as someone else, you are doing someone else’s assignment on earth. Who is doing what you were created to do?

To people preaching the gospel because they have studied theology, inherited from their kin, anointed by religious institutions or so called ‘men of God’, etc, and for sure they are not chosen God servants as I revealed in how to know a chosen God servant , please ask God for your specific assignment on earth.

If you are preaching the gospel because of money or fame or envy, God will give you much more beyond your imagination when you go back to Him and start doing what you are created to do. All heavenly and earthly resources will be mobilized to you to accomplish your specific assignment on earth.

And to chosen servants of God, you are created for a specific assignment in the gospel of Jesus Christ. Know your assignment (task) and focus on that. Stick to your calling.

If God servants could know from their master what they are created to do and focus on that, there could not be competition in the gospel of Jesus Christ since every servant is called for a specific assignment of His won and only her/him can accomplish it. 

The competition we have is because of people calling themselves to the gospel and giving themselves assignments and claiming they are doing the work of God. Whose work are you doing?

You are not going to accidentally fulfill God’s will. It doesn’t happen unintentionally or by coincidence. Seeing God’s will realized in your life means, first of all, finding out what unique purpose He created you for. Accomplishing the task we were created to achieve means making a deliberate effort to find, follow, and fulfill God’s will.

If you are not born-again, the first step to knowing what you are created to do and doing it is accepting Jesus Christ in your life for Him to Baptist you with the Holy Spirit . Make that first step now.

10 Facts About Your Assignment

  • God gave you an assignment before you were born. God told Jeremiah, “Before you were formed in the womb, I knew you…I ordained you a prophet to the nations” (Jeremiah 1:5 NKJV). God has an assignment for each of us. I am called to be an evangelist. It was prophesied that I would be an evangelist when I was five years old. Joyce Meyer says, “What you can’t stand is a hint to what you are called to fix.” If you had the money and time to do anything you wanted to help people, what would you do?

my assignment on earth

  • Your assignment will be revealed by your diligence. You will never discover your assignment sitting in a rocking chair. You may not know whatyour assignment is right now, but if you will start moving diligently in the direction of your dominate focus your divine assignment will be revealed. Initially, I did not know I was called to be a writer. But, my larger assignment to be an evangelist created the need for me to also be a writer.
  • Your assignment will be something that no one else can accomplish. Look at your thumb. No one else on the planet had your fingerprint. You are unique and special. God has given you abilities that are not duplicated in any other person on earth. If you do not complete your assignment, it will never be done in the way that only you can do it.
  • Your assignment is bigger than you can accomplish alone. You need other people. You need God to be involved in your assignment. With God’s help you can do something bigger than is possible with your own strength.
  • Your assignment will take your whole life to accomplish. Your life purpose is bigger than a few months or years. It may take you a lifetime to prepare to accomplish your assignment. After you die, the fruit of your assignment will continue.
  • There are a variety of ways for you to accomplish your assignment. The nature of your calling comes from God, but the way you fulfill your assignment comes from your creativity. My assignment is to be an evangelist, within this calling there are a variety of ways of accomplishing my assignment. I could be a street evangelist, a crusade evangelist, an Internet evangelist, or a television evangelist. Each of these options would be a fulfillment of God’s call on my life. My assignment comes from God, but the method I use to fulfill that assignment comes from me. The nature of my calling comes from God, the scope of my calling is revealed by my willingness to be used.
  • Your assignment is attached to a particular place, people, or problem. You are not called to fix every problem in the world. You are called to fix a specific problem that no one else can fix. Stay in your assignment and don’t try to minister to everyone. Paul was not assigned to John Mark. A trash collector cannot collect trash in both Seattle and Miami, he has to choose a geographical location to fulfill his assignment.
  • By embracing your assignment, you are saying no to distractions. Know who you are and what you are called to do. I am called to be an evangelist. When I embrace my assignment, it forces me to decline many invitations that are good but have nothing to do with my calling. The more clearly your assignment is defined, the easier it will be to make important decisions. On Facebook, some people make comments that I disagree with but I do not say anything. Why? Because trying to set them straight is not my assignment.
  • When you are in your assignment, you will be sought out by people who need your specific skill. People will appreciate you for who you are instead of for who they wish you were. I don’t get mad at my dentist because he does not cut my hair. You will be rewarded for the problems that you solve.

7 Spiritual Keys to Fulfill Your God-Given Assignment

In today’s culture of increasing identity confusion, there is a need for believers to understand and model a healthy identity and purpose that is Christ-centered and kingdom-focused. When we know who we are, why we’re here and where we’re going, we will offer to the world a picture of what a true son and daughter of the kingdom looks like. Here are seven keys that may help start the process in learning how to know your true identity in the kingdom of God in order to fulfill your call and assignment.

1. Determine to love Jesus more than anyone or anything . Simple? Yes. Easy? No. We become what we focus on—who we focus on. As we fix our eyes on Jesus and determine to please Him above all else, our hearts and affections will be rightly placed. In order to make wise choices and determine God’s will, loving Jesus first and foremost is foundational to everything else. We will never know who we really are apart from learning who Jesus really is. We are to be a reflection of Him.

2. Walk in the fear of the Lord, not the fear of man. Once we have settled to love Jesus most, we can expect to be tested in it. The fear of the Lord keeps us faithful to His purposes even when others may misunderstand us, mock us or challenge us. Though I can walk with sensitivity towards people’s needs and perspectives, I don’t have to bow to them or change my beliefs for validation. Especially in the current atmosphere of hostility towards those who seek godly truth, we must guard ourselves from compromise at the altar of “acceptance.” Walking in a healthy fear of the Lord provides wisdom, protection and confidence in all things eternal and right.

3. Seek a reputation in heaven more than on the earth. In today’s social media, the more friends you have, the more tweets you post and the more “likes” you get, the more likely you are to draw a crowd. But getting attention is a lot different than having influence. Standing out in the crowd isn’t hard to do in our shock-driven, entertainment-saturated culture. What’s a lot more challenging is saying or doing something that will cause heaven to move on your behalf to change entire cities and even nations. Sometimes those in the secret place are changing history a lot more than those in the public eye. Seek to move heaven first and then watch the earth respond.

4. Know your spiritual gifts. You have been given a measure of spiritual gifts that have marked you from creation. The seven gifts listed in Romans 12:3-8 point to the motivations and passions your heavenly Father put within you from birth: prophesying, serving, teaching, exhorting, giving, leading and showing mercy. When you can identify your primary “motivational gift,” you can better know your strengths and weaknesses and where you best fit in the body of Christ. Though these gifts do not necessarily define who you are, they do point to what you’re good at and what will bear the most fruit in your life.

5. Know your call. Where your spiritual gifts explain your primary motivation, your calling is what you were born for, or better yet, who you were born to reach. God’s priority is always people, and our calling will be a reflection of His heart to reach someone. This may take a lifetime to fulfill, but you will know it is His call because it continues to burn in your heart, keep you up at night and never quite goes away regardless of challenges or setbacks. It will require faith and is bigger than you are, but your call is what draws your heart and inspires your journey.

6. Know your present assignment. If your life story was written as a book, your calling would be the title. Your spiritual gifts would shine in the unique writing style and illustrations. The individual chapters would highlight the various assignments throughout your journey. Specific assignments will come and go and serve to advance the kingdom, increasing the measure of grace on your life to ultimately fulfill your call. Some may seem like side roads to your destination, but all will lead to His purposes as you trust His heart in knowing how to prepare and equip you.

7. Measure your success by the fruit. Regardless of our call, gifts and assignments, the true measure of success will be in the fruit that follows us. If we are walking in the fullness of our identity, the people around us will recognize it, grow from it and encounter Christ through it. God’s grace will flow out of us and will exponentially increase in those around us. Look for disciples, not just followers. Look for reproduction, not just reputation. Look for transformation that lasts, not just a fascination that quickly fades.

Ultimately, knowing who you are is not about “finding yourself,” but losing yourself in order to find Christ. Seek to know His heart above your own and trust His plans in molding and shaping your life to be a perfect representation of Him. There won’t be any identity confusion. In the end, the world won’t see you anyway; just Him! {eoa}

What Is My Assignment From God?

my assignment on earth

hat is my assignment from God? This is a question that many resonate with because God has given each one of us a direct assignment. When many in the body of Christ think of their God-given assignment, they make the mistake to understand it on a broad level that feels unreachable.  As we will unpack today, an assignment is something that God uses to start us on the path of our destiny. 

After Jesus had risen from the dead, and spent 40 days walking with his disciples, He gave them disciples an amazing assignment.  

“Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go.  When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted.  Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:16-20)

The disciples were given a direct assignment from Jesus to go and to “make disciples of all nations.”  How were they to go about accomplishing this assignment?  By “teaching them to obey everything” Jesus had taught them.  This assignment is known today as the great commission.  Why did Jesus give them this assignment? 

It is in the Father’s heart for His children to partner with Him.  In the beginning, Adam co-labored with God in stewarding the garden of Eden (see Genesis 2:15 ).  This assignment was given so that Adam could discover God’s heart and love for the earth.  Today, in the same way, God gives His children unique assignments to carry out so that they can release the love of God on the earth. 

Jesus Modeled The Perfect Assignment 

When Jesus walked the earth, he modeled the perfect assignment.  As one reads the Gospels, they understand Jesus had a clear mission - to usher the kingdom of heaven into the earth.  This mission released various assignments from God to destroy the works of the devil.  1 John 3:8 makes this assignment clear.  “For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.” 

As Jesus modeled the perfect assignment, he invited others to share in this responsibility.  Many times, after healing the sick or performing a sign to inaugurate the kingdom of God, he would release the recipients with a direct assignment.  

“Jesus stood up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”  She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more.” (John 8:10-11)

When the woman who was caught in adultery was brought to Jesus, she discovered something she never expected.  In the aftermath of being forgiven and unjudged by the Son of God, he gave her a direct command, “Go and sin no more.”  

In order to release her into her God-given destiny, Jesus commanded her to walk away from her former life and to follow the direction of Jesus.  By her sinning no more and obeying the word of God, she would be released to walk in a manner that she had never once walked in before.  

Assignments Fulfill Our Purpose   

When we discover our assignments from God, we partner with Him into his divine plans for our lives.  The book of Jeremiah speaks to the intentions of God’s plans over us.  

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11)

God has a plan for our lives.  These divine plans are rooted in our welfare and give us a wonderful hope and a future.  Although this is an amazing promise in scripture, when many read this verse they forget that it is a conditional promise, according to the preceding verses. 

“Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.” (Jeremiah 29:12-13)

After God reveals to us His divine plans, He gives us a direct assignment.  Those that embark upon His plans of welfare must take on the assignment to seek Him with all of their heart.  By obeying this command, one embarks upon the road of their own destiny.  

This passage of scripture makes it clear, the path of our purpose is found by saying yes to our God-given assignments.  Saying yes to God’s assignment allows His purpose to begin working in your life.  When Jesus called his first disciples, he gave them clear assignments to propel them into their future.  

“And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” (Matthew 4:19)

Jesus could of stop after his initial calling of “follow me”, but he didn’t.  Why?  Because Jesus wasn’t looking for followers alone, he was looking for co-labors in the kingdom of heaven.  Just as God gave Adam tasks to steward the garden, so Jesus gave his disciples tasks to steward the kingdom of God.  

Jesus didn’t ask the first disciples to just simply follow him, he gave them an assignment, “to become fishers of men.”  This assignment set them on the path of their destiny.  Years later, the disciples would produce the first fruits of the great commission by spreading the gospel around the modern world.  Imagine if Jesus would have never given them an assignment, could they have taken on their destiny? 

God gives us assignments to steward His divine purpose for our life.  Sometimes, His assignments make no sense to us at first (think of Noah), but we must obey them.  Obedience releases a grace of faith that unlocks our destiny and fulfills our assignment. 

Today, know this - God has called you and has a plan for your life.  The Lord has assigned an amazing purpose for you. It can only be unlocked through your response to His assignments and developed over the course of your own spiritual life. One thing is certain, His assignments are meant to fulfill the words of Jesus in the Lord’s Prayer , 

“Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” (Matthew 6:10)

Finding Your Divine Assignment: A Biblical Guide to Purposeful Living

shallow focus photography of man wearing black coat and black pants standing beside green trees

In a world where distractions and worldly pursuits often consume our attention, we can easily lose sight of our divine assignment on this Earth. We find ourselves chasing material possessions, success, and societal validation, yet deep within us, there’s an innate yearning for something more profound, something that aligns with our Creator’s plan for us. This yearning is our soul’s call to discover and fulfill our divine purpose.

The Manufacturer’s Divine Design

Imagine entering an electronics store and noticing two devices, both bearing the same manufacturer’s name – a television and a washing machine. At first glance, they may appear similar, perhaps even constructed from the same materials. However, their purposes are distinct. The television is designed for entertainment, while the washing machine is meant to cleanse your clothes. When these devices fulfill their intended purposes, they bring satisfaction to their maker.

Likewise, God, our Divine Manufacturer, fashions each of us with a unique purpose in mind. Just as a television was never meant for laundering clothes, we were not created to wander aimlessly through life Instead, our Creator delights in our discovery and embrace of our individual assignments because, in doing so, we bring Him pleasure.

The Dangers of Misplaced Purpose

Consider this scenario: these electronic devices, the television and the washing machine, suddenly gain consciousness and decide to swap roles. The television, not designed to hold water, attempts to do laundry, and the washing machine endeavors to display your favorite shows. What do you imagine would occur?

Chaos would surely ensue, and both devices would rapidly lose functionality. The television would short-circuit, and the washing machine would become inoperable. Why? Because they strayed from their intended purposes.

Similarly, when we deviate from our divine assignment, we risk spiritual short-circuiting and ineffectiveness. Just as the manufacturer designed each device for a specific purpose, our Creator fashioned us with a unique mission that aligns with our talents, passions, and spiritual gifts.

Embracing Your Unique Assignment

Understanding that no two individuals share the same divine assignment is crucial. You are endowed with a unique calling, a specific purpose that only you can fulfill. This realization should not foster competition but rather inspire collaboration and support as we work together to fulfill our respective assignments, contributing to the greater good.

Now, Let’s explore biblical ways for discovering and embracing your divine assignment. The following Scriptures provide profound insights and guidance to help you align your life with God’s purpose:

  • Seek Divine Guidance

Proverbs 3:5-6 reads, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take.” Trusting in the Lord wholeheartedly means surrendering your desires and ambitions to Him. Acknowledge that His understanding surpasses yours, and seek His guidance in every aspect of your life. When you do, He promises to direct your steps and lead you along the path that aligns with your divine assignment.

  • Listen to Your Heart

In Psalm 37:4 , the Bible says, “Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you your heart’s desires.” When you delight in the Lord, your desires become aligned with His will. Your heart’s desires, when rooted in a deep relationship with God, can provide valuable clues about your divine assignment. As you cultivate your relationship with Him, your desires will naturally gravitate toward the purpose He has for you.

  • Seek and Discern Spiritual Gifts

God has put in place unique spiritual gifts for the discovery and fulfillment of your purpose. These gifts are not only meant to build up the body of Christ but also to guide you toward your divine assignment. 1 Corinthians 12:7 says, “A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other.” Take time to discern your spiritual gifts through prayer and self-reflection. Understanding your gifts can reveal where you can make the greatest impact in the body of Christ.

  • Pray and Meditate

Psalm 119:105reads, “Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.” Regularly immerse yourself in God’s Word through prayer and meditation. Scripture serves as a source of wisdom, guidance, and inspiration. It illuminates your path, helping you discern God’s will and understand the specific steps you need to take to fulfill your divine assignment.

  • Seek Wise Counsel

The Bible says, “Plans go wrong for lack of advice; many advisers bring success.” (Proverbs 15:22). Seek the counsel of wise and mature believers who can provide guidance and insight on your journey to discovering your purpose. They can offer perspectives and experiences that may shed light on your unique assignment and help you navigate challenges along the way.

  • Act with Faith

Faith is essential, but it must be accompanied by action. As you discern your divine assignment, step out in faith to pursue it. James 2:17 reads , “So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.” Trust that God will guide and empower you to carry out the work He has prepared for you. And ensure your faith is expressed through meaningful actions that is aligned with your purpose.

Conclusion: Living a Purpose-Driven Life in Alignment with God’s Word

In conclusion, living a purpose-driven life isn’t about comparing yourself to others or competing with them. It’s about recognizing your unique role in God’s grand design, just as the television and washing machine serve distinct functions in the world of electronics.

By embracing your divine assignment, you not only find fulfillment and satisfaction but also bring glory to the One who lovingly created you. Your life becomes a testimony to God’s wisdom and grace, and you become a beacon of inspiration and guidance for others seeking their own purpose.

As you embark on this journey of purposeful living, remember that you are a unique creation, fashioned by the Divine Maker for a specific mission. It’s time to align your life with your divine assignment and fulfill your purpose, bringing glory to God and leaving a lasting legacy of inspiration and purpose for generations to come.

Day Six – Life Is A Temporary Assignment

Articles Collection cover image

Day six of The Purpose Driven Life finishes Warren’s thoughts about “how I see my life shapes my life.” You will recall he said yesterday that the Bible offers three metaphors for life: life is a test, a trust and a temporary assignment. Today we cover the last of these metaphors.

The Bible is filled with teachings on the brevity of life. To make the most of life I need to realize that compared with eternity, life is fleeting. I also need to realize that earth is a temporary residence and, as we covered on day four, is only a staging area for eternity. It is important that I live with a view of eternity, realizing that I am an ambassador here on earth. I am only a temporary resident and as a Christian my real homeland is heaven. When I have this view I will understand why sometimes God’s promises seem to go unfulfilled and prayers seem to go unanswered. In the light of eternity no promise goes unanswered and no prayer unheard and in the end it will all make sense. Of course this realization should also help me place much higher value on eternal rather than temporal factors. Warren teaches that as a fish will never be at home outside of water, so I will never really feel at home on earth. Because I have eternity in my heart and heaven is my real home, I will always feel some measure of discontent with life on earth.

The highlight of this chapter is the following paragraph:

“In God’s eyes, the greatest heroes of faith are not those who achieve prosperity, success, and power in this life, but those who treat this life as a temporary assignment and serve faithfully, expecting their promised reward in eternity.”

Bible Passages

Warren quoted the Bible 14 times using 7 different translations and paraphrases. Though some of the paraphrases were a bit lax in their interpretation, Warren did not stretch the meaning of the passages he used.

Question To Consider

Today’s question to consider is “How should the fact that life on earth is just a temporary assignment change the way I am living right now?” I think there is great wisdom in the words Warren used to close the chapter. He says, “At death you won’t leave home – you’ll go home.” The way my life should change is to incorporate this view of earth not being my home. I should not spend my life fighting for more and more possessions. A view of eternity will show me that by serving God faithfully I will be in God’s will more than if I am “storing up treasures on earth” (to borrow a bit of a Christian cliche). While on earth I need to keep my affections set on my true homeland, awaiting the day God ends my assignment as ambassador and calls me home!

Fulfilling God’s Assignment | Christian Leadership Insights

by Mark Dreistadt | Jun 8, 2012 | Leadership

fulfill img

God has given everyone an assignment! An assignment is a mission or position to which a person is assigned. We each have a position in the Body of Christ and a distinct mission to fulfill… and God has perfectly equipped us to succeed in His assignment. All visionary leaders have to some degree recognized and embraced this charge.

The Calling of Christian Leadership

God places a Word in your spirit … He gives you a revelation.  Then as your life surrounds that revelation it comes to life within you. That revelation released into the world through your thoughts, words, and actions is your Godly assignment.  This is a hallmark, a cornerstone of inspirational leadership .

  • First , you must discover your assignment? Look inside yourself. What do you know God has said to you?  What is your passion? What makes you happy? What makes you angry? What excites you? The answers to these questions will help you know the assignment God has placed within you.
  • Secondly , to effectively fulfill your assignment you must learn to limit. You cannot read everything — know everything — do everything — and be everything — for everyone! Once you understand your assignment, you must focus wholeheartedly and complete the tasks God has entrusted to you.  Church leaders often struggle here because they want to do everything and help everyone, but we need to focus on what our unique assignment is.
  • Thirdly , to fulfill God’s assignment, you need to be willing to self-assess.  You need to take stock of how well you serve in the position God has placed you. Assess what is right and what is wrong — what works and what does not work.
  • Fourthly , you must be willing to change. If you discover something that does not work in your life, you have to change it. If you discover something needs to be done, you need to do it. You must listen to the Spirit of God, and make a change.  Effective church leadership always looks to change things and make adjustments to stay focused on their assignment.
  • Lastly , you need to be willing to make critical choices. If you do not make the hard decisions, you will never successfully fulfill God’s assignment. The great news is once you make the tough decisions, God fills the void left behind with His grace and provision. His joy and blessing will follow you — when you walk in your Godly assignment.  The most fulfilling place for Christian leadership to be is right in the middle of their God given purpose.

God has a spectacular plan for you. You will be amazed at what God will do through you!  Discover his assignment, make the right choices and watch your life soar!

Life is a Temporary Assignment

Life on earth is a temporary assignment!

“Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered, and that my life is fleeing away.” Psalm 39:4 (NLT)

To make the best use of your life, you must never forget two truths:

  • First, compared with eternity, life is extremely brief.
  • Second, earth is only a temporary residence. You won’t be here long, so don’t get too attached.

In order to keep us from becoming too attached to earth, God allows us to feel a significant amount of discontent and dissatisfaction in life—longings that will never be fulfilled on this side of eternity. We’re not completely happy here because we’re not supposed to be! Earth is not our final home; we were created for something much better.

In God’s eyes, the greatest heroes of faith are not those who achieve prosperity, success, and power in this life, but those who treat this life as a temporary assignment and serve faithfully, expecting their promised reward in eternity.

When life gets tough, when you’re overwhelmed with doubt, or when you wonder if living for Christ is worth the effort, remember that you are not home yet. At death you won’t leave home—you’ll go home.

Point to Ponder : This world is not my home.

Verse to Remember : “So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:18 (NIV)

The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.

For this assessment, you will create an accurate representation of the Earth’s interior. Not only will you demonstrate the different layers of the Earth but their physical and chemical characteristics as well. Remember to access the tips and hints at the bottom of the page.

Basic Requirements (assignment criteria):

This assessment requires you to use your imagination. It is up to you to decide what materials you will use for the model. Some ideas include—Play-Doh, variety of candies, pudding, Jello or other items. You will need to create an accurate representation of the thickness of the different layers as well as their physical characteristics. The model does NOT need to be round like the Earth.

I would recommend using a 9×13 pan, pie pan or a tall clear glass. You can use a normal pan or purchase a foil pan from the $1 store. In fact, a trip to a local dollar store could yield all sorts of ideas.

  • Make sure the thickness of EACH layer is accurate. Remember this is a model.
  • Make sure the physical properties of EACH layer are accurate. For the outer core, it may not be possible given that it is a liquid. However, you can vary the properties of the other layers. As you create the various layers, remember what you have learned about each layer.
  • For each layer, write a brief description. Make sure you include the physical property description as well as the material you chose for that layer. Include a brief description of the chemical makeup and chemical properties of the layer. Also, include anything unique or special about that layer (HINT: each layer – the inner core, the outer core, the mantle and the crust – have at least one unique or special feature worth mentioning.
  • Take a picture of the model AND a picture of YOU with the model together, save it with your layer summaries for submission. A clear picture of the model is required so the different levels can be easily seen.
  • Be creative and have fun!
  • Your final project should be unique!
