What About The Assignment?

This Christian journey is filled with tests and trials. But rarely do we talk about the assignments that God gives each of us. Assignments are not tests or trials. They measure our ability to exercise and retain the Word of God according to the power that works in us.



Assignments come in many forms. They come through people particularly in our sphere of influence but not exclusively. They come through places like our jobs, church or home. They even come through circumstances.



The assignment prepares us for the tests and trials that are sure to come our way. This is why its so important to take every matter into careful consideration. It is not wise to take for granted the things we simply call "LIFE". Our finite understanding alone is not enough for us to lean and rely on. The bible declares that we should trust in the Lord with all heart and lean not to our own understanding. In all our ways we are to acknowledge Him and He will direct our path (Proverbs 3:6).



So today take a look around you and ask yourself these questions:


  1. Is this my assignment?

  2. If so, then ask yourself, "Have I followed the instructions given me according to the Word and power of God that works in me?"

  3. If you have then the peace of God will follow and rest upon you. If not, stay with it until His glory is manifested and His peace comes as a sign of completion.
