Topic: Follow That Assignment [Our Daily Manna ODM Sunday, February 4th, 2018]
Basic Scripture: 2 Timothy 4: 1-8
At any point or place, whether you occupy the higher or lower scale in the ladder of life, there is an assigned duty by God for you. In essence, every human being has one duty or the other to perform on this planet. Refuse to see yourself as ordinary! You remember the story of Mario Zagallo, former Brazilian coach, who refused to be compared to “King Pele” (FIFA footballer of the century)? Whether you are aware of this natural purpose or not, the fact remains that the foolishness of a fool plays a vital role in the acquisition of wisdom by the wise.
Likewise, the managing director of any organization cannot with his executive status, perform the duty of a messenger. That is God’s plan for life! Different fingers, different roles! No matter where you are in life right now, take it as a challenge and play your role well enough in the theater of experiences. It is in following your particular assignment that God’s blessings and personal fulfillment comes. Don’t fulfill another man’s assignment. You will run out of ideas and steam if you do that. Ralph Waldo Emerson was clear was clear:” The purpose of life is not to be happy.
It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, make some difference that you have lived and lived well.” Then I remember J.D. Stroule:” Life is filled with unanswered questions, but it is the courage to seek those answers that continues to give meaning to life. You can spend your life wallowing in despair, wondering why you were the one who was led towards the road strewn with pain, or you can be grateful that you are strong enough to survive it.” Despite his battles, Paul fulfilled his own destiny (2 Timothy 4:7)! He wrote so much wondrous things from prison and today, they are called, “The Prison Epistles.”
This devotional assignment (writing talent), which is blessing thousands worldwide today, was shown to me during a crucial period of crisis in my life. Somebody using this devotional will discover himself/herself after that temporary crisis you are going through right now! The world will win in the end through your life! Follow only those who discovered themselves through battles! The Holy Ghost is saying to you: Fulfill your purpose this year! This world is waiting for you! Pray now!
