what is a divine assignment

Introduction

Are you fully committed to God’s divine assignment for you?

(NOTE: You can scroll to the bottom to watch today’s sermon.)

Over the past couple of weeks, we have been taking a look at being a vessel of God . From those sermons, we know that as a vessel of the Lord, God will use us for His higher plans and His higher purposes. We have seen how in the Old Testament, God used man to teach and to prophecy to one another. We have also seen in the New Testament, that the Lord still desires to use every last one of His children for the purpose of ministering to those around them.

In His Great Commission, we see Jesus say to those that would choose to follow after Him, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you ( Mark 16:15; Matt. 28:19-20 ).” So, again, it is very clear to us that God’s higher plans and purposes for us is to minister to and make believers of all people.

Now, how the Lord uses us to carry out His divine assignment is unique (meaning personalized) to each of His children. Again, some He uses to preach the word and some He uses to sing so that they may uplift the spirits of others. Some the Lord may use to testify of their journey, and others He may use in the work of charity. God uses us as He sees fit.

Yet, I tell you that there are times when some of us have reservations (concerns) as to how we are being used by the Lord. Some of us question how the Lord is using us. We question the Lord’s motive and so, therefore, we begin to question God’s divine assignment. I want to take a look at these reservations some of us, His ‘vessels’ have and ask again today, are we truly fully committed to God’s divine assignment?

Do We Have Reservations?

I ask this question today because I truly wonder whether or not we are fully committed to being a vessel of the Lord. Scripture is filled with people who had reservations about the divine assignment the Lord had for them. Last week, I briefly mentioned Peter in my sermon and I felt compelled to preach a sermon focusing on him this week.

Peter, as you know, was one of Jesus’ twelve closest followers. Of Peter, Jesus said that He was a rock and on him, He would build His church ( Matt. 16:18 ). So, the Lord had a special plan and purpose for Peter meaning Peter would be a vessel that God would use to minister to others.

Through studying scripture during the years Jesus ministered and even after His resurrection, we see that Peter had some serious flaws. I don’t know if there is a faithful man in scripture who’s flaws and failures are put on display as much as his! Which, honestly, is very interesting because scripture usually portrays mostly the good things of those who were righteous, especially when it comes to the apostles. So, like many of us, Peter must have had many failures. I want to take a look at a few examples of Peter’s flaws for just a moment.

Scripture shows us that Peter was a bold, brash, and very impulsive man. With little hesitation, Peter brashly and impulsively cut off the ear of the high priest’s servant in the garden prior to Jesus’ arrest ( John 18:10-11 ). At another occasion, at the transfiguration of Christ, Peter, without realizing what he was saying , impulsively asked to build three tabernacles to Jesus, Moses, and Elijah ( Luke 9:33 ). At the Feast of Passover, the disciples argued among themselves who was greater ( Luke 22:24 ) and I believe it was Peter who was boldly believing himself to be greatest among the disciples.

Peter’s rebuke

Actually, it was at this feast where we see another character flaw of Peter rear its ugly head, and this flaw is an extremely dangerous flaw that we must focus on today.

To teach the apostles a lesson on what those who consider themselves to be great should do for those around them, Jesus chose to wash the apostles’ feet. This was a lesson on humility but it was also a lesson on serving others. Scripture tells us that Peter, initially, did not understand what Jesus was doing in that moment. When seeing Jesus approach to wash his feet, Peter rebuked Jesus. He eventually relented from his rebuke when Jesus told him the purpose behind washing his feet ( John 13:6-9 ).

Now that was not the first time that Peter offered this sort of rebuke to Christ and to God. Prior to His crucifixion, Jesus had been predicting his death to the disciples which really frustrated Peter. So Peter took Jesus to the side and, again, we see him rebuke what Jesus had been saying to which Jesus responded, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men ( Matt. 16:21-23 ).”

Now, I want to direct your attention back to my scripture for today in the book of Acts. By this point in time, Jesus had ascended to heaven, so Peter has had some time to grow, yet this character flaw is shown to us again. We are told that while he was on the rooftop of Simon the tanner, he ended up in a deep trance ( Acts 10:9-10 ). While in a trance, Peter saw a great sheet descend from heaven to him, and on that sheet he saw all kinds of animals. He then heard the Lord’s voice say to him, “Rise, Peter; kill and eat ( Acts 10:11-12 ).”

This, I want you to understand, was a direct command from God. Yet, Peter, we see, rebukes the Lord and tells Him, “Not so, Lord ( Acts 10:14 ) !” In fact, scripture tells us that this played out three times ( Acts 10:16 )! So, what was the deal with Peter? Why do we keep seeing him rebuke the Lord?

13 And a voice came to him, “Rise, Peter; kill and eat.” 14 But Peter said, “Not so, Lord! For I have never eaten anything common or unclean.” KEY VERSE – ACTS 10:13-14 NKJV

The Great Sin of Stubbornness

Peter could not move beyond his thoughts and feelings – he was very stubborn . This was a very great flaw that he had because as a vessel of the Lord, he was meant to be fully committed to God, yet He continued to have reservation as to what God was doing. In a way, Peter’s stubbornness was causing him to question the motives of the Lord. Where he should have been mindful of the things of God, as shown to us when he rebuked Jesus when He was predicting His death, Peter was too stuck on himself.

As a vessel of the Lord, the ideal response from Peter would have been to do as the Lord had commanded – no reservations, no hesitation, no delay. As a vessel of God, the ideal response from the believer when God has commanded us, is to do as He commands.

Something we must understand when it comes to His divine assignment, God is going to move us wherever He sees fit and use us how He pleases. We have to learn to trust in how the Lord is going to use and we must be obedient to His command without reservation, hesitation, and delay. We are certainly going to have time to do the things we desire, but when the Lord gives us a task, yes, we should drop what we are doing and put His divine assignment first! If we say we desire to be a vessel of the Lord, we should be fully committed to God’s divine assignment!

The Christian’s stubbornness

I feel like many of us actually share a lot in common with Peter in that we can be very bold, brash, and impulsive. God can direct us to wait while He works on our blessing and we will have times when we ignore His command and act on impulse. God can direct us to move as He desires and some of us are bold enough to question His direction. Some of us, in fact, will flat out rebuke the Lord’s direction because we know a better way of being in service to Him. When we do this, I want you to understand that we are saying our thoughts are better than the Lord’s thoughts.

Last week I said that there is a great sin that today’s Christian commits and that was the sin of laziness. This week, I tell you that there is another great sin that is present in today’s Christians – the sin of stubbornness . When we stay attached to our own thoughts and feelings, and are not mindful of the things of the Lord, we are showing ourselves not to be committed to Him. When God has a divine assignment for us, and we choose to rebuke it because it does not fit our thoughts and feelings, we are not being fully committed to the Lord’s plans as we have so professed.

In the first book of Samuel, when we read of King Saul’s great sin, Samuel said to Saul, “Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, As in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.” This, Samuel said, indicates that spiritual stubbornness is indeed a sin.

Samuel continued, “Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, He also has rejected you from being king ( 1 Sam. 15:22-23 ).” When we reject the Lord in our spirit, we certainly know that we cannot enter into His heavenly kingdom. Yet, I also tell you today that in our spiritual stubbornness, we find that it can not only be detrimental to us, but it can be detrimental to all of those around us.

Keep your vow to God

Again, I tell all of you that the Lord has a divine assignment for us and it is an assignment that is going to take us in directions that we could have never imagined. The Lord’s divine assignment may have us go through some things that we never could have imagined. God may have us speak to and minister to people that we may have never imagined speaking to and ministering to. We cannot be a detriment to the Lord and to those around us because of our own personal thoughts and feelings – this is a sin. We certainly should not do this if we have said that we desire to be a vessel of God for His special plans and purposes in our heart.

When we have said that we desire to be a vessel of the Lord, I want you to understand that we have made a commitment (a vow) to God in our heart! Making a vow to the Lord is very important.

I want to direct your attention to the book of Ecclesiastes for a moment. Solomon wrote, “When you make a vow to God, do not delay to pay it; For He has no pleasure in fools. Pay what you have vowed—Better not to vow than to vow and not pay. Do not let your mouth cause your flesh to sin, nor say before the messenger of God that it was an error. Why should God be angry at your excuse and destroy the work of your hands? For in the multitude of dreams and many words there is also vanity. But fear God ( Eccl. 5:4-7 ).”

You see, when we have taken a vow to be a vessel of God, we ought to stand by this commitment. God expects us to stand by that vow! I want you to understand that God desires to use a vessel that is fully committed to His divine assignment! God is not going to use anybody who is going to half step when it comes to His divine assignment. If you have said that you want to be used for the Lord’s special plans and purposes, then you must be all in and not one foot in.

Commitment Check

I tell you today that it is commitment check time for all of those that desire to be a vessel of the Lord. I believe that all of God’s children desire to be a vessel of His so I tell you today that it is commitment check time for all of God’s children – all of those who are true worshipers and genuinely believe in Him.

Peter’s divine assignment

I want to quickly turn our attention back to Peter for just a moment because he underwent a commitment check in the book of Acts. While he contemplated the vision he saw in his trance, a commitment check came knocking on the door. Three men from Cornelius, a gentile man that served as a centurion in the Italian Regiment, arrived at Simon the tanner’s house ( Acts 10:1 ). We are told that they were there because an angel of God told Cornelius to reach out to Peter about his faith ( Acts 10:4-8, 30-33 ).

Cornelius is described in scripture as a devout man who feared the Lord ( Acts 10:2 ). He was the first of many gentiles who would become a genuine follower of Christ. I want you to understand that this was one of Peter’s divine assignments from God – to minister to Cornelius, therefore, to all other gentiles as well.

We know that this was a divine assignment because the Spirit said to Peter while he was still on the rooftop, “Go down and go with them, doubting nothing ; for I have sent them ( Acts 10:20 ).” So, now was not the time for Peter to have any reservations or rebuke about how the Lord was about to use him. Now was not the time for Peter to be stubborn in his ways!

When Peter arrived at Cornelius’ residence, he found not only was Cornelius present but that all of Cornelius’ relatives and close friends were also present ( Acts 10:24 ). Peter entered the residence and initially remarked, “You know how unlawful it is for a Jewish man to keep company with or go to one of another nation. But God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean ( Acts 10:28 ).”

Peter continued, “But God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean. Therefore I came without objection as soon as I was sent for. I ask, then, for what reason have you sent for me ( Acts 10:28-29 )?”

So, the check was to see if Peter had learned his lesson from the trance. A lesson, I believe, was more about being obedient and committed to following the Lord’s command than the food. Peter could have chosen to rebuke the Spirit and not have gone to Cornelius but we see Peter ultimately learned to put aside his stubbornness. We see that he committed himself to the task and was mindful that God was at work on His higher plans and purposes. Peter recognized that he was meant for something far higher than his own thoughts and plans!

Committed to the Lord

On that day, scripture tells us that the Holy Spirit fell upon all of those who Peter had ministered to. You see, we are meant for something far higher than our own feelings, thoughts, and plans. We are meant to help build, establish, and add to the kingdom of God. The thought never leaves my mind on what happens when we, in our stubbornness, become a detriment to those around us. The only thing stubbornness does is hold us back and keep us from growing.

As genuine believers, we have to be mindful and also be able to acknowledge when we are being a spiritual detriment to those around us because we do not want to hold them back from the heavenly gates. To be stubborn spiritually, is as detrimental as it is to be lazy spiritually with the same end results. If we have made our vow to be in service to the Lord, let us truly submit our will for God’s will and let us fully commit ourselves to God’s divine assignment.

Your Job Is God’s Assignment

Tbt with every square inch: reading the classics.

More By John Piper

TBT (Throwback Thursday) with Every Square Inch: Reading the Classics is a weekly column that publishes some of the best writings on vocation from the past. Our hope is to introduce you to thoughtful literature that you may not have yet discovered and, as always, to encourage you to know and love Christ more in all spheres of your life. This excerpt is adapted from “Your Job as Ministry” by John Piper. Copyright © 1981. Used by permission of Desiring God, www.desiringgod.org .

On Sunday, June 14, 1981, John Piper preached on 1 Corinthians 7:17–24, which begins, “Only let each person lead the life that the Lord has assigned to him, and to which God has called him” (1 Cor. 7:17). The point of Piper’s message , he said, could be stated as a declaration and as a prayer:

As a declaration it would be: How you fulfill the demands of your vocation is an essential part of Christian discipleship. Or to put it another way: How you do your job is a big part of your obedience to Jesus. Stated as a prayer, the main point today is: Father, grant to us all the grace to be conscious of your presence at our work and to obey your commands in all our vocational relationships.

He then explained how that declaration and prayer related to Paul’s letter to the churches in Corinth. He concluded his sermon by offering four helpful and practical implications for our work. [To read and/or listen to the sermon in its entirety, click here .]

First, God is much more concerned with the way you do the job you now have than he is with whether you get a new job. We have in this congregation nurses, teachers, carpenters, artists, secretaries, bookkeepers, lawyers, receptionists, accountants, social workers, repairmen of various sorts, engineers, office managers, waitresses, plumbers, salesmen, security guards, doctors, military personnel, counselors, bankers, police officers, decorators, musicians, architects, painters, house cleaners, school administrators, housewives, missionaries, pastors, cabinet makers, and many more. And we all need to hear that what lies most on the heart of God is not whether we move from one to the other, but whether in our present work we are enjoying God’s promised presence and obeying his commands in the way we do our work.

Second, as we have seen, the command to stay in the calling in which you were when converted is not absolute. It does not condemn all job changes. We know this not only because of the exceptions Paul allowed to his principle here in 1 Corinthians 7 (cf. verse 15), but also because Scripture depicts and approves such changes. There is provision for freeing slaves in the Old Testament, and we are familiar with a tax collector who became a preacher and fishermen who became missionaries. Besides this, we know that there are some jobs in which you could not stay and obey God’s commands: for example, prostitution, numerous forms of indecent and corrupting entertainment, and others in which you may be forced to exploit people.

Paul is not saying that professional thieves or Corinthian cult prostitutes should stay in the calling in which they were called. The question at Corinth was: When we come to Christ, what should we abandon? And Paul’s answer is: You don’t need to abandon your vocation if you can stay in it with God. His concern is not to condemn job changes, but to teach that you can have fulfillment in Christ whatever your job is. This is unfashionable teaching in contemporary Western society, because it cuts the nerve of worldly ambition. We need to think long and hard about whether what we communicate to our children about success is biblical or just American. The word of God for all us “success seekers” is this: Take all that ambition and drive that you are pouring into your upward mobility and pour it instead into a spiritual zeal to cultivate an enjoyment of God’s presence and obedience to his revealed will in Scripture.

Third, for you younger people who have not yet entered a profession, the implication of our text is this: When you ask yourself the question, What is God’s will for my life? you should give the resounding answer: His will is that I maintain close fellowship with him and devote myself to obeying his commandments . God’s revealed will for you (the only will you are responsible to obey) is your sanctification ( 1 Thessalonians 4:3 ), not your vocation. Devote yourself to that with all your heart, and take whatever job you want. I have no doubt that, if all our young people are bending every effort to stay close to God and to obey the commands of Scripture, God will distribute them in the world exactly where he wants their influence for him.

Fourth, and finally, this text implies that the job you now have, as long as you are there, is God’s assignment to you. Verse 17 says, “Let everyone lead the life which the Lord has assigned to him.” God is sovereign. It is no accident that you are where you are. “A man’s mind plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps” ( Proverbs 16:9 ). “Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will be established” ( Proverbs 19:21 ). “The lot is cast in the lap, but the decision is wholly from the Lord” ( Proverbs 16:33 ).

You are where you are by divine assignment, even if you got there by fraud. Your job is your ministerial assignment, just as much as mine is. How you fulfill the demands of that job is just as essential in life as what you do here on Sunday. For many of us that may mean turning over a new leaf tomorrow morning. Let’s all pray before we set out to work: “God, go with me today and keep me conscious of your presence. Encourage my heart when I tend to despair, and humble me when I tend to boast. O God, give me the grace to obey your commandments, which I know are all summed up in this, to love my neighbor as myself. Amen.”

Is there enough evidence for us to believe the Gospels?

John Piper (BA, Wheaton College; BD, Fuller Theological Seminary; ThD, University of Munich) serves as founder and lead teacher at Desiring God and is chancellor of Bethlehem College & Seminary . For 33 years, Piper served as pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church, and he is a Council member of The Gospel Coalition. He has authored more than 50 books, and more than 30 years of his preaching and writing are available free of charge at desiringGod.org .

What’s Your Divine Assignment?

I’m asking you who clicked on this post to stop and ask yourself, “What’s my divine assignment?”

You may not know what this means, but through this post, I hope to give you some insight as to what that is and how you can figure out what your divine assignment is.

You may have stopped and Googled what this means and this is what comes up through Google.

In a nutshell, I would say that: Your divine assignment is doing what God wants you to do; having what God wants you to have; going where God wants you to go and then becoming who God ultimately wants you to become which is Christ-like.

We ALL have a divine assignment, but it’s up to us to figure out what that is. You might be thinking to yourself, “Jess, how am I suppose to know this and how do I figure this out?” For some of us, the answer is easy and for some of us it will take some soul searching. Why? Because we are evolving creatures. We are always changing and as we change, it is up to us to prioritize exploring the new facets of ourselves which will help lead us to our divine assignment.

I would say in the last five years I have evolved into an entirely different person, a person I am SO VERY proud of! Getting to know this new person and experiencing these changes I will not talk about lightly because the WORK I had to put in took everything out of me, BUT the what I received was so incredibly worth it.

I will not sugar coat this, I see people everyday and have had people in my life who have absolutely no idea who they are and it is extremely obvious. It genuinely breaks my heart to see people settle for the minimum and afraid of becoming the person they know they are capable of being. Do you agree?

I think this happens more often than we would like to admit. I think the fear of becoming the person you dream of being seems too far out of reach. One of my main goals for this platform is to crush that mindset and plant the seed of belief.

I want you to believe in yourself, your abilities, your dreams, believe that your goals ARE achievable, believe in your worthiness and believe in the person you are working to become.

I can say all of this until I am blue in the face, but if YOU do not have belief in yourself and manifest everything you want for you and your life, I’m sorry to tell you…it won’t happen on its own.

I can’t make your dreams come true. I can’t make you believe in yourself, I can’t write a post that changes your mindset, but what I CAN and will continue doing is allowing YOU to borrow belief from me. You may be reading this right now and thinking, “WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?”

The truth is that I have SO MUCH belief in you, so much so that I am willing to let you borrow the belief I have for you until you begin to believe in yourself.

How do you borrow belief from me? It often happens without realization. We borrow belief from people ALL the time without realizing it. This can be a good AND bad thing… if we borrow believe from someone who tells us that we can’t do something, we will begin to believe that. If we borrow belief from someone who tells us that we CAN do it, we want to recognize who these people are and turn to them when we need to borrow belief in ourselves.

Brining it back to divine assignment, belief is truly the engine that drives the bus to get you there.

I will share a quick story with you about my realization of my divine assignment.

I am a firm believer in God and respect everyone’s views on religion. I am a born and raised Catholic. Although I do not agree with everything in the Catholic faith, I do my best to always remember that church is everywhere and I try everyday to share God’s love and message.

With that being said, I am very in tune with my faith and I hear God pretty daily.

I have always known that my life mission was to help people. I have always had this burning desire to help people in all capacities. I won’t get into what I use to do as a child, but my family can attest that my heart was made for giving and still is.

As many of you know, my life is untraditional and the way I was brought into this world was different. I went through a lot as a baby and was on my own with stability for the first three weeks of my life. I believe this made me extremely independent and also taught me a lot about doing things for myself. If I could manage life as a new born somewhat on my own, then I sure as HELL could do it now!

It’s a blessing and a curse all wrapped up with a pretty bow, BUT if you think for one second I will use my life as an excuse, you have another thought coming. Everything about my life has fueled me. It has served as my fuel to be the good I want to see in this world.

I know I am suppose to help kids like me. I know my purpose is to be a resource and guide for children and young adults who are trying to figure out who they are. I know one of my callings is to to support and help women and children in all capacities who are fleeing things domestic violence and sexual assault.

I KNOW with everything in me that I will be the person who helps children find their way back to their families. I have felt this was my calling from as far back as I can remember. And do you know what? I think starting this platform and sharing my story here in the HG community is literally only the beginning of my divine assignment.

I know with everything in me, and have known since I was [playing with barbie dolls, that my mom and I’s story is going to be used to bring families together and bring goodness into the world. I know our story that ripped us apart will be used to help mend and unite families, especially mothers with their children.

I feel in my soul that one day I will be on stage speaking around the country sharing my mom and I’s story with her right by my side giving hope to people that miracles do happen and it happened to us.

This is my divine assignment that I am manifesting right here in this blog post. So, I want you to stop and think to yourself, what is your divine assignment?

YOUR GOD GIVEN ASSIGNMENT

His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’ – Matthew 25:23 (NKJV)

The brevity of life, described as a mist that appears for a little while, (James 4:14) demands us to understand our God given assignment as soon as we are born again.

God saved you to fulfill a particular assignment for Him, and that assignment is time bound. “ You must work the works of him that sent you, while it is day, a time will come when you can no longer work” (John 9:4 paraphrased)

Your divine assignment is a God given task that comes with an inherent burden and divinely given ability to solve problems that yield eternal value.

When you are sure of your calling or divine assignment you would take every opportunity you have to serve anytime, anywhere.

Ideas for your divine assignment come from the wisdom of God and not the philosophies and ideas of man, it is not copied or necessarily inherited or learned talent.

Have you discovered your God-given assignment? Have you asked about why God is allowing you to have a formal education? Why He allowed you to be in the family, room, dorm, or even the neighborhood and church where you currently serve?

Seek God and ask Him to show you your spiritual gifts. Study His word prayerfully.

Seek counsel from godly matured and genuine Christian mentors. Be sincere in asking God to reveal His assignment for you and be ready to walk in it even if it does not satisfy your personal ambition.

Walking in your God-given assignment is where you will find the ultimate spiritual satisfaction and fulfillment.

PRAYER: Lord show me your way, help me to redeem the time and serve you wherever, whenever and however. I want to occupy for you in my divine assignment. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.

A CRY FROM A HOPELESS SITUATION

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?

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.

Fulfilling God’s Assignment | Christian Leadership Insights

by Mark Dreistadt | Jun 8, 2012 | Leadership

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!

Keys to Living in Divine Alignment

April 9, 2018

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” Romans 12:2

Have you ever felt out of alignment—either physically, emotionally, or spiritually?

There are many ways our lives and bodies and hearts and minds can get out of alignment with God’s best intentions for us.

When we step out of His love, His rest, His peace, or even His presence, our lives can quickly fall into misalignment on all sorts of levels.

If you’re not growing, your life is out of alignment.

Many of us are ignorant that our lives are misaligned.

We are quick to blame forces outside of ourselves—the circumstances, people, government, and too often, the enemy—for what isn’t working in our lives.

But more often, we allow our lives to become misaligned because of socialization.

We defer to our relational constellation, the people we hang around, and how we were brought up to determine how high we fly.

If you want to change the flock you fly with, you must first change yourself.

The truth is, when you change, everybody and everything around you must adjust to accommodate your growth and progress.

Don’t wait for people or circumstances to get into alignment with your hopes and dreams; align yourself.

Could things be the way they are because you are the way you are?

What one thing can you change that can change everything?

You can change the way you think.

You can change your expectations.

How would knowing that God wants to use you to impact a multitude of people change your thinking about what’s possible?

God is wanting to increase your influence wherever He has positioned you.

God is actively providing you with opportunities to increase your network. I encourage you to leverage these opportunities, because when your network increases, so does your net worth.

I want to take you to Genesis 48:16 where Jacob laid hands on his grandson Ephraim.

Jacob was not only laying hands on him so he could prophesy over him and transfer an anointing, but to bring alignment to his mind.

When hands are laid on you, it’s not just about what God is going to do for you, but it’s also about what God is aligning you to.

Whenever hands are laid upon someone, it means God is inviting them to cooperate with a mantle adjustment.

Adjusting your spiritual mantle requires a realignment.

In other words, there is an adjustment of perception or “alignment of the mind” taking place—a mental adjustment.

Your mind is spiritual, but your brain is physical—your brain seeks homeostasis.

If God sends you a word that challenges you to grow, your brain is going to fight you every step of the way.

Anybody that has been on a diet can testify to the brain’s resistance to change. This is why breaking a habit is so challenging!

You can’t just break a habit by stopping something; you have to break a habit by creating a new habit. This works by the law of displacement and the law of replacement.

If you displace something, you must replace it with something else.

You break a bad habit by replacing it with a good habit.

When it comes to God bringing alignment so you can grow and increase in your ministry or business, it means you will have to change the way you think—you will have to change your mind.

And when you change, the culture will have to change—procedures and precedents will have to change—but your brain will always want to do the same thing the same way.

Do the same, get the same. Do different, get different.

Once you start changing, your brain is going to resist. Your own neurobiology is the biggest stronghold you will be required to overcome.

So when God begins to invite you into a realm of growth, you don’t have to worry about the enemy fighting against you.

Too many of us use the enemy as a reason why we can’t change.

Do you not know God has given you power over all of the works and wiles of the enemy?

Even so, it’s most probably not the devil fighting against you. More often, it’s our own wiring; we misfire because we’re mis-wired!

God wants to rewire your mind so you think thoughts that will enable you to maximize your potential.

God wants to reset your mind.

When Jacob lays hands on Ephraim and Manasseh, it gives God an opportunity to reset their thought processes.

Jacob commands a blessing and prophesies:

“God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, The God who has fed me all my life long to this day, The Angel who has redeemed me from all evil, Bless the lads; Let my name be named upon them, And the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; And let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.” Genesis 48:15-16

I decree and declare your children are being redeemed from all evil—your grandchildren and great grandchildren, and all of your loved ones are being brought back and pulled out of evil—not by your hand, but by the Angel of the Lord.

Jacob was not only commuting a blessing, but he was transferring influence.

The name and the anointing God placed on Abraham that made him influential and wealthy was being transferred.

Jacob was saying, “How God transformed my life, I’m transferring that to you. You are going to think differently. You are going to think like a powerful and wealthy person of influence.”

Your thoughts are a precursor to your lifestyle.

I decree that however God shows you that you’re going to live in the next 2-3 years—whatever vision He has given you—whatever prophetic word He has spoken over you—I decree and declare that you are acquiring the necessary mentality right now!

If you want to be the best in the industry, you must think like you’re the best, you must act like you’re the best, dress like you’re the best, network like you’re the best.

Many of us don’t leave the realm God delivers us from because we’re afraid of what people are going to say.

I say, give people something to talk about!

It starts with a mentality.

Your internal reality will express itself externally as the reality you experience.

Whatever the realities are in your life, don’t try to fix your circumstances, fix your thoughts.

“For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.” Proverbs 23:7

Show me your life, and I’ll show you your thoughts…

Are you ready to align your thoughts with God’s divine purpose for you?

If you’re serious about doing the work of living in divine alignment, plan now to join me for Kingdom School of Ministry in Atlanta!

I look forward to seeing you there!

Discovering your Divine Assignment

Post author: madmin
Post published: April 26, 2022
Post category: Blog

Good morning saints, After salvation experience, one needs to know the appointment of God, the divine assignment of God, the calling of God in one’s life.

Saul on Damascus road was encountered by our Lord Jesus Christ. Acts 9:6

Three days later, the Lord Jesus spoke to Ananias, Saul’s divine assignment.

Acts 9:15 , “But the Lord said to him (Ananias), “Go, for he(Saul) is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My name before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel.

Acts 9:16 , “For I will show him how many things he must suffer for My name’s sake.”

Knowing your divine assignment is so very important for your destiny, your race on Earth, your earthly influence and Heavenly reward.

Your fulfilment on Earth as a Christian is to do what God wants you do, to go where God wants you to go, to have what God wants you to have and ultimately to become what God wants you to become —in Christ Jesus

2 Timothy 4:7 ,”I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith

2 Timothy 4:8 , “Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day — and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.”

Knowing your divine assignment or call of God enables you to withstand or overcome trials and challenges of life. Saul knew from the Lord Jesus that he will suffer for the Lord Jesus Name.

Thus Saul, knowing his divine assignment, progressively experiencing God’s grace is always sufficient for him, also achieving a personal excellence and discipline in accomplishing God’s will in his life.

2 Corinthians 12:9 , “But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.”

Finally know that the enemy is always there trying to derail your divine assignment. However, the Lord Jesus has written your life in His book.

Psalm 139:15 , “My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

V16 , “Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them.”

God said to Jeremiah in Jeremiah 1:5 , “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”

God has declared your end from the beginning.

Isaiah 46:10 , “Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things that are not yet done, Saying, My counsel shall stand, And I will do all My pleasure,’

Saints as we continue to progress and walk in the Lord’s divine assignment, you will discover the Lord’s preciousness, His abundant grace, abilities and gifts, His faithfulness and provision and that Our Lord Jesus Christ will not leave nor forsake you right to the end of the age! God bless you always.

Accountability, holy spirit empowered , god’s prescribed way of success.

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.

Understand your divine assignment

You are geographically designed. This means that your nationality, your race, sex and even where you were born were decided by God. You are geographically…

You are geographically assigned. This means there is a place, a city, a location where God wants you.

You are specifically assigned. You are not wired to do just anything but some things well.

Benefits of finding your place

1. Divine Assistance. Forces of destiny are released in your favour when you find your place. You begin to operate in favour when you find your place. Helpers appear when you find your place. Relationships change when you find your place. Angels assist only those who are working to fulfill their divine assignment.

2. Success. A man once said, “Once you surrender to your vision, success begins to chase you.” Where you are divinely located is where you will flourish and succeed. Jonah ended up in the belly of a whale while heading away from the place God sent him to. Each instruction from God is linked with your assignment. Your financial provision is waiting for you at the place where God has assigned you.

Your success is in finding your place in God’s order. Many die without stepping into their assignment; without finding their place. You can only touch the world through your assignment.

3. Greatness. You will live like a fowl if you don’t know you are an Eagle. The fulfillment of your divine assignment gives you a place among the stars. Your greatness is tied to your purpose. It is impossible to reach your best if you don’t know and do what you are created for. At best, you will end up a cheap copy of someone else. You can only be superior to others in your area of gifting. Dan 1:17, “As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.” Daniel, Shedrack, Meshach and Abednego were gifted by God in learning and wisdom and that is the place where they were found to be ten times better than their counterparts. (Dan 1:20)

Enemies of destiny

The fulfillment of your assignment scares the devil the most. Nothing gives him as much pleasure as keeping you distracted. There are three things Satan loves to do to your assignment: (a) substitute it, (b) delay it, or (c) waste it. Most people die unfulfilled. His favorite pastime is to substitute people’s dreams. He will no longer succeed with you.

Here are examples of Destiny Wasters:

– Forces that incapacitate e.g. through sickness, etc.

– Forces that impoverish – paralyse effort, induce laziness, cause delay, divert blessings, destroy favour,

– Forces that switch dreams – make you do what you are not cut out for. There is nothing as devastating as travelling on a wrong road. May God change your direction!

– Forces that Sell, buy or steal destiny. Esau sold his birthright to his brother Jacob.

– Forces that corrupt through sex, drugs or other addictions.

– Wrong associations, wrong company – friendship, marriage, etc. There are four people in your life: those who add, those who subtract, those who divide and those who multiply.

– Wrong confessions. Words spoken over you have a bearing on the outcome of your life. Vows, decrees, enchantments and divinations.

– Premature death – forces that terminate life prematurely.

All this results in wasted lives, wasted destinies, and wasted resources.

Launching into your destiny and divine assignment

1Ki 1:39, “And Zadok the priest took an horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and all the people said, God save king Solomon.”

The oil used here was the holy anointing oil, which was laid up in the tabernacle, and which was used for the anointing of both priests and kings.

You have a global assignment and it takes the anointing to launch you into it. It takes a prophet to commission and release you into your divine purpose on earth. Moses laid hands on Joshua, Isaac blessed Jacob; Elijah dropped his mantle on Elisha (2Ki 2:9-15), etc.

David was anointed three times for the manifestation of his divine assignment. Zadok the priest anointed Solomon to become king. Jesus was anointed by the Holy Spirit to step into and fulfill his divine assignment.

But to succeed, you must remove every limitation from your mind. You must change your attitude and mindset.

Let me close with this story told by Robert Schuller. A man was selling balloons on the streets of New York City. He knew how to attract a crowd before he offered his wares for sale. He took a white balloon, filled it up, and let it float up into the sky. Next he filled a red balloon, and released it into the air. Then he added a yellow one. As the red, yellow, and white balloons were floating above his head, the little children gathered around to buy his balloons. A hesitant black boy looked up at the balloons and asked the man, “If you filled a black balloon, would it go up too?” The man looked down and said, “Why, sure! It’s not the colour of the balloon—it’s what’s inside that makes it go up!”

What’s inside of you determines the level of success you will achieve in life. Reaching the highest peak possible depends upon your mindset and your attitudes. The content of your mind determines the colour of your life.

What limitations have you placed on yourself due to the way you think or the attitudes you exhibit? Remember: It’s what’s inside that ultimately determines how high you will climb.

Fresh start

In the just concluded world athletic championships, Hussein Bolt, the fasted man on earth right now was disqualified from the 100 meters race because he made a false start in the semi-finals. He missed the gold medal.

Men disqualify you when you make a false start in life but God gives you a fresh start. God is giving you a fresh start today.

What Is a God-given Assignment?

by Daniel Bacon

Moving toward fulfilling the good work God has for us includes wisdom and action. Bacon offers guidelines for finding our way in the myriad of options.

Over the years of my missionary career there have been numerous times when leadership has suggested that I take on a new ministry assignment that involves a change in role, and in some instances, even a change in location. That inevitably sets in motion a period of heart searching, asking difficult questions without always finding answers, coupled sometimes with uncertainty, frustration, and anxiety before coming to a final decision.

I suspect that most of us have gone through this process. How do we really know when a proposed assignment is something God is ordering or something else? How do we recognize a God-given assignment? Keep in mind that some might even challenge the notion that God truly has assignments for us that we must discover and fulfill. Regardless, we need to think carefully about the answers to this key question as it may have a profound impact on our daily spiritual life and how we approach our ministries.

From the perspective of Ephesians 2:10 it is clear that God has prepared a path which is characterized by “good works” in which we should walk. In Hebrews 12:1, the writer exhorts us to “run with perseverance the race marked out for us.” The idea is to run faithfully in the lane uniquely marked out for each of us. From our limited perspective, how then do we discern that path or identify the particular good works that God purposes for us? Let me suggest three approaches.

1. The “to-do list” approach. Some have argued that God’s call or assignments are very specific and can be determined through thoughtful prayer, scripture, and godly counsel. In other words, God reveals the where and the how through these time-honored means. Historically, Christians have been taught that God does indeed have good works or assignments for us individually as well as corporately. As a young believer, I was told that God had a specific plan for my life and I must discover it and then do it with all my heart if I were to fulfill my calling. My task was to find God’s “to-do list” for my life, and then at each junction pursue it.

2. The “godly wisdom” approach. Others see God as giving us freedom to make choices and believe that those very choices become the will of God for us as we seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness. In other words, God has already revealed all that we need to know to live out the Christian life, and as long as we make decisions consistent with his revealed purposes and values in scripture, we are within God’s will.

Furthermore, this approach would add that God has given each of us a mix of natural abilities, acquired skills, and spiritual gifts, and that he expects us to live out our “gift mix” as good stewards. Thus, whatever task or “good work” we undertake doesn’t really matter in terms of being God’s will or call, but rather our main concern should be that it expresses his revealed purposes in scripture and is done in a way that brings glory to him. This is what is meant by exercising godly wisdom in choosing from among alternatives as we seek to glorify God in our lives. In effect, whenever I choose an assignment believing that it is a good and right thing to do, God, in his sovereign control and purposes, makes it my God-given assignment and ultimately works out his plan (Rom. 8:28).

I confess that I struggle to understand just how God guides. At times, doors open in a way that seems to shout, “Pay attention! This is your opportunity. Walk through it.” There are other times, however, when I feel as if I am totally on my own to make a decision and hear no voice whispering in my ear, “This is the way; walk in it.”

So how do we resolve the tension or polarity between these two views—between what seems a very personal and subjective approach (discover the list and do it) versus a very objective approach (exercise godly wisdom)? My own conviction is that resolution lies in a dynamic tension between the two. But just what do I mean by this?

3. The “partnership with God” approach. As I read scripture, and in particular passages that relate to God’s involvement with the believer in working out his sovereign purposes, I am persuaded that the process of guidance is more complex than we may think and grows out of a partnership with God rather than a simple “follow the directions” approach.

Passages such as 1 Corinthians 3:8 and 3:14-15 indicate that rewards will be given to a believer according to his or her own labor before the judgment seat of Christ. The expression “labor” seems to be referring to one’s unique contribution to the planting and building up of the Church. In other words, the focus is on one’s function and faithfulness in fulfilling that role rather than saying anything specific about where or in what setting we labor. We are rewarded then according to the quality of our contribution (gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, straw) as we operate within our general sphere of gifting or function. As the Apostle Paul puts it, “…as the Lord has assigned to each his task” (1 Cor. 3:5).

Furthermore, Paul describes us in 1 Corinthians 3:9 as God’s fellow workers—an amazing statement! He indicates that as workers we are privileged to serve in a partnership with God to accomplish his purposes. Again, in another setting, the Apostle Paul talks about this partnership in this way: “…for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose” (Phil. 2:13). In other words, God does not treat us merely as robots at the end of a remote control. Rather, there is a divine synergy between the Lord of the Harvest and each of us individually in working out his plan for our lives.

This synergy is further emphasized in 2 Thessalonians 1:11: “With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may count you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may fulfill every good purpose of yours and every act prompted by your faith.” What is interesting here is to see the initiative seemingly coming from us to undertake a purpose or act. Then, after taking the first step in faith, we see God working in power to fulfill that act or purpose through us. Here then is the mystery of partnership with God. What has happened is that God worked in us at first (“to will and do of his good purpose”). In responding, we in turn take ownership of that burden and it becomes “our purpose” as well as God’s, and thus we see this reciprocal dynamic taking place.

I am persuaded that God will guide us, but the defining of any so-called "God-given assignment" is a process that includes us as well as the Lord. I believe that it is important for us to pray about what we should do, read scripture carefully to make sure our motives and overall values are in alignment, and seek godly counsel. But I also believe that we need to take more responsibility for our part in decision-making and believe that in the process God will be at work.

What then is the role of the subjective and the objective in the equation of discerning a God-given assignment or in receiving a call? In addressing this question I would like to touch upon two important factors and then outline some general guidelines.

Important Factors in Defining a God-given Assignment 1. Culture and environment. Part of the complication in defining how God guides our lives or in determining what constitutes a “God-given assignment” is our own cultural conditioning. Western or Postmodern cultures that put more emphasis on individual choice and freedom tend to emphasize the subjective side of guidance. In other words, the key questions would start with how you feel about the task: Are you convinced in your heart that it is the right thing to do? Do you have personal peace about the decision? What would bring you the greatest sense of fulfillment and use of your potential?

By contrast, traditional cultures which are more family-oriented and communitarian in their values and practices would tend to stress the objective side of guidance: What is expected by others? What is required or what is your duty? What would please or benefit the group most? Seldom heard is the oft-mentioned phrase so common in the West: “I don’t feel like it!”

2. The call. Inevitably, any discussion about guidance will bring up the matter of the call. Few questions come up as frequently or creates as much confusion in Christian circles as the whole matter of the “call”—whether to a place, ministry, or task. However, what does it really mean and how does one really know if he or she is called by God? When am I “free to just choose” and when must I have a “call”?

The Greek word kaleo, usually translated “call,” occurs 148 times in the New Testament with an additional 70 times in related terms. The predominant use of the term is in reference to God’s calling of individuals to salvation and to a quality of life as a Christian. Thus, we could describe this as God’s general call to all believers.

At the same time there is another use of the term as found in Romans 1:1 and 1 Corinthians 1:1, which describes a call to a unique role or function. Paul saw himself as an apostle, called and appointed by the will of God (Eph. 3:7). Related to his function as an apostle, he then viewed his service as an outworking of that call or function (Acts 13:2; 16:9). Thus, we are all called to salvation and a Christian walk worthy of that calling (Eph. 4:1). Beyond that, however, some are called to a kind of ministry or task as Paul and Barnabas in Acts 13:2. The focus of a call, then, is on the function more than the where and how.

It is important to note that the only time geography is used in relation to a call in the New Testament is in Acts 16:10. Beyond that there is no other reference to Paul being called out from Macedonia to some other location or ministry task similar to the way he was called to Macedonia. Why geographical direction was given here but apparently not elsewhere is not clear, but perhaps there was something special about the circumstances. Therefore, we need to exercise caution in demanding a geographic call before determining our direction. Furthermore, there is no record of any individual in the Book of Acts being accepted or rejected on Paul’s apostolic mission band because of a personal call. Also, the term is never referred to as a requirement in the list of qualifications for church leadership in 1 Timothy 3 or Titus 1.

What do we mean then by the call? For many, the traditional use relates to a feeling or conviction that someone should be in a particular country or in a certain kind of ministry and undertake a specific task. The call is frequently tied to God’s guidance for special service, usually in the cross-cultural sense or to the staff of a local church. One should never go out without one, nor accept a position without one, for that would be inviting trouble. Ignoring the call would be disobedient and result in serious consequences and loss. The call usually comes through the formula of the word, prayer, and circumstances.

On the other hand, a number of Bible teachers or mission leaders question the biblical validity of a special missionary call. They stress that scripture’s commands to go and make disciples are evident, and extraordinary guidance of a subjective nature is unnecessary. Rather, the emphasis should be on a person’s suitability and availability to respond to given needs or opportunities. If those are in tandem from an objective standpoint, the person should move ahead even without a “feeling” of being called.

Many, however, use the term “call” in a generic sense, synonymous with God’s guidance, including both subjective and objective factors. Although in this system an individual’s convictions are given consideration, responsibility for assessing suitability is not ignored. If the qualifications are lacking, the church or mission agency usually discourages candidacy, regardless of the person’s subjective feelings.

The following guidelines may help steer our thinking through this important decision-making process of discerning a God-given assignment.

Assignments that apply to all. Every believer has been called to a relationship with God and to a quality of life that honors him in every aspect of daily life. As Paul reminds us, “I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received” (Eph. 4:1). This is the will of God for each of us, regardless of where we live or what our individual roles might be. Jerry Sittser adds this practical note:

The will of God concerns the present more than the future. It deals with our motives as well as our actions. It focuses on the little decisions we make about the future. The only time we really have to know and to do God’s will is the present moment. We are to love God with heart, soul, mind and strength, and we are to love our neighbors as we love ourselves. These are the basic responsibilities Jesus challenges us to pay attention to… (2000, 29)

Assignments that express our unique giftedness and basic function in the Body of Christ. Scripture makes clear that what God has equipped us with as believers (natural abilities, acquired skills, spiritual gifts) should give direction to our primary service and assignments. Peter states it simply when he exhorts, “Each one should use whatever spiritual gift he has received to serve others, faithfully ministering God’s grace in its various forms” (1 Pet. 4:10). There is a sense in which all of us are called to serve—to do the necessary things at times, regardless of whether or not we feel that it matches our training or giftedness. However, as a general rule, God expects us to take on tasks or accept assignments that enable us to best utilize our giftedness.

In Ephesians 4, Paul reminds us that God has given gifted people to serve within the body and to reach out to the world. These gifted people are called apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers. Each of these gifted people is called to fulfill a certain function. What is stressed is not the specific location or organization within which they might serve, but rather the nature of their unique roles. As one reads through Paul’s journeys in Acts, we see frequent changes in place, circumstances, and assignments. And yet the thread of continuity in all of Paul’s ministry settings was the unique role he fulfilled as a gifted apostle, teacher, and pastor.

Sittser clarifies the importance of distinguishing between our basic calling and our careers (2000, 63). Sometimes we confuse our God-given function with any specific job description, role, or career. We think that God calls us to a career (e.g., missionary, doctor, engineer), but fail to understand that within any vocation we are called to a basic function which flows out of what God has equipped and gifted us for (e.g., evangelist, pastor, teacher, encourager).

Assignments that respond to needs and opportunities. The New Testament is replete with exhortations for God’s people to engage in “good works” (e.g., 2 Cor. 9:8; Gal. 6:9-10; Eph. 2:10; Titus 2:7, 14). The theme running throughout these texts is that each of us is to respond to needs and opportunities for doing good; by doing so, we are fulfilling God’s redemptive purpose or calling for us.

Thus within these broad parameters of God’s clearly revealed will, each of us takes on various assignments that reflect God’s purposes. I really don’t need to pray about whether or not I should love my neighbor or seek to serve within the local church. God has already spoken about these duties. In my daily priorities and choices, any action or response that flows naturally from life’s circumstances or demands and looks like, smells like, and talks like a good work, becomes a God-given assignment to me at that point. Whatever best expresses the fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22-23) in a situation automatically qualifies as God’s assignment and thus God’s call or will for me.

There are innumerable potential good works that theoretically could be considered divine assignments. The key issue, however, is not to be unduly concerned over which should be mine or yours, but to start from the perspective of what are the needs or opportunities that I’m uniquely equipped to undertake or have the reasonable opportunity to meet.

Assignments that come from a God-given burden or concern. There is strong biblical evidence that God also works in our hearts so that a vision, burden, or concern to meet a need begins to emerge and gives us a conviction that there is something we need to do. Paul reminds us that “…it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose” (Phil. 2:13).

Titus is an interesting case study. At one point, Paul asks Titus to go to Corinth to assist in the pastoral care and development of this important local church. Using his apostolic authority, Paul could have ordered Titus to go and likely he would have. Paul was not adverse to issuing orders to fellow workers such as Titus in other settings (see Titus 1:5). But instead we read, “I thank God, who put into the heart of Titus the same concern I have for you. For Titus not only welcomed our appeal, but he is coming to you with much enthusiasm and on his own initiative” (2 Cor. 8:16-17).

It is interesting that most ministry visions flow out of a desire to meet a need or solve a problem. Seldom does a vision come from a vacuum. History is filled with stories of God’s servants seeing a need, and feeling within a growing desire or burden to do something about it. Hudson Taylor saw one million souls a month perishing without Christ in China, and the burden to help is what drove him to start the China Inland Mission in 1865.

God has called us to partnership in his work in this world. It would seem that as we walk with God, from time to time he brings to our awareness a situation that cries for help. We are confronted and begin to feel in our heart of hearts that this should not be. It becomes a cry or protest against the status quo. That kind of a conviction would strongly indicate a God-given assignment.

Assignments that come from organizational requirements. When we are a part of an organization as an employee or volunteer, then scripture makes clear that work-related assignments are in reality God-given assignments. Paul reminds slaves in Ephesians 6:7, “Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men, because you know that the Lord will reward everyone for whatever good he does, whether he is a slave or free.”

When we are serving under authority, we are told to see our tasks not just as menial or mundane jobs to be done, but rather as acts of service to God. How much more so when we are serving within a Christian organization or as part of a ministry team. Tasks then that come to us from the team need to be seen as God-given assignments and solicit from within us a wholehearted commitment to contribute as best we can.

Summary In the end, we are all called to walk by faith and not by sight. We desperately want to get things right and thus, at times, want “absolute proof” of what God is asking or calling us to do. However, each of us needs to take a final step of faith even after we have done all to discern God’s will with respect to a proposed assignment. Ultimately, we are to trust not in our guidance, but in the God who guides (Ps. 48:14).

A DIVINE ASSIGNMENT

Whenever God gives you a divine assignment, you must have the faith and commitment to carry it out. It is a blessing to be used by God. One cannot be fearful or reluctant but must have the faith to trust God. The assignment that God gives must be carried out precisely in the manner in which God has instructed. There can be no detours when you seek to follow His instructions. No matter how difficult the assignment, when you put your trust in God, He will give you the power to complete the assignment. Our scripture lesson in II Samuels 7:27, speaks of a divine assignment:

“O LORD of Heaven’s Armies, God of Israel, I have been bold enough to pray this prayer to you because you have revealed all this to your servant, saying, ‘I will build a house for you–a dynasty of kings!’”

n this passage, God has given David an assignment. Israel is God’s chosen people and David is acknowledging that He has been instructed by the Lord to build a house. God has promised a blessing to His servant and David is committed to carry the assignment to completion. God’s love for the people of Israel has caused him to honor them by using His servant, David, to construct the temple. When you get a chance read chapter seven. Prayerfully, when God gives you an assignment, you will carry it out until completion.

II Samuel 7:27 (NLT)

What Is Your Divine Assignment? Sample

Hey! Great, you are still here. Have you been inspired yesterday to set an example? Today officially starts the discovery for your divine assignment. Therefore, we will start with Moses’ birth. You know, the guy that split the sea into two.

His birth alone is already a remarkable story. Do you know the story of the straw basket? Or actually, the box was made out of bulrushes. Moses was born in Egypt during a hectic time. The leader of Egypt, the Pharaoh, was going to kill all Hebrew babies by throwing them into the Nile. All because the fast-growing Hebrew nation could eventually become a threat for the Egyptian kingdom. How brutal is that!

As a pregnant lady, the whole situation might have had an influence on the baby. Although there is no reason stated why Moses' mom surrendered him to the Nile, she probably did it out of protection. Which is a bit odd, because why would you surrender your own sweet baby to a dangerous river? The situation must have been that terrible!

Let’s have a look symbolically at this moment. The Nile is also called the ‘source of life’ of Egypt. Unlike the dry desert climate in Egypt, the area around the Nile is fertile and green. In the Bible, water often means (making a choice) to surrender yourself to God. Which means something like: doing what God asks you to do, letting go of control and making room for God to do His work.

Back to the Nile. Moses’ mother decides to surrender Moses to the source of life of Egypt. What is the source of life on this earth? To me, that is God. Is Moses symbolically being surrendered to God?

Surrendering to God may often seem like an odd choice at first sight. Just surrendering a baby to a wild river. But the moment we look back, we often see God's plan reflecting on our lives, and I believe God has a plan for your life too. It might be huge or small. We will look into that later. If you want to discover this, I have one question for you today ☝️:

> In what area in your life do you have to make the choice of surrendering, to let God do His work in your life?

So much more symbolism can be found in this story! Namely, Moses’ birth looks like another V.I.P.’s story in the Bible. More tomorrow!

What’s Your Divine Assignment?

I’m asking you who clicked on this post to stop and ask yourself, “What’s my divine assignment?”

In a nutshell, I would say that: Your divine assignment is doing what God wants you to do; having what God wants you to have; going where God wants you to go and then becoming who God ultimately wants you to become which is Christ-like.

I think this happens more often than we would like to admit. I think the fear of becoming the person you dream of being seems too far out of reach. One of my main goals for this platform is to crush that mindset and plant the seed of belief.

I can say all of this until I am blue in the face, but if YOU do not have belief in yourself and manifest everything you want for you and your life, I’m sorry to tell you…it won’t happen on its own.

The truth is that I have SO MUCH belief in you, so much so that I am willing to let you borrow the belief I have for you until you begin to believe in yourself.

Brining it back to divine assignment, belief is truly the engine that drives the bus to get you there.

It’s a blessing and a curse all wrapped up with a pretty bow, BUT if you think for one second I will use my life as an excuse, you have another thought coming. Everything about my life has fueled me. It has served as my fuel to be the good I want to see in this world.

I feel in my soul that one day I will be on stage speaking around the country sharing my mom and I’s story with her right by my side giving hope to people that miracles do happen and it happened to us.
