Your Assignment #2

HOW TO LOCATE YOUR ASSIGNMENT

You know I would say that 2/3 of Americans are dissatisfied with their jobs.

They despise getting up in the morning.

They want more days off.

They crave vacation time.

They are unproductive, unhappy and dissatisfied with their work.

Why? They simply have not discovered their own Assignment. Why they were born.

There are so many angels we could take with this topic but we are going to cover 3 areas that will help you locate your calling. Now if you see more than one of these in your life I would seriously consider it to be God’s assignment for you.

1)What are area’s that bring righteous anger in your life?

Moses hated the way his people were being treated. When he saw an Egyptian beating a Israelite, He got very angry. Why? Because he was called to be a deliver.

Jesus was angry with a righteous anger when He turned over the tables of the money changers in the temple.

What angered the Apostle Paul was New Covenant Christians trying to live under the Old Covenant.

What angers you? Is it injustice? Mistreatment of any kind? Malice towards others?

We just saw unrighteous acts from a few police officers these last couple of weeks.

I really do not feel like I’m an authority to talk about that situation because I haven’t gone through life being pre judged based on the color of my skin but I will say that pre judging someone based on their color instead of their character is not loving one another as Jesus did. That applies weather black or white.

So what areas do you want to see change?

There are things wrong with our country but there will never be change until someone is angry enough about it to step forward and take charge.

We cannot correct what we are unwilling to confront. Another words what we permit will always continue.

We cannot really change or correct something unless you have a God given anger for it.

With that said we can have a good cause but go about it in a wrong way. Moses had a good cause but went about it in a wrong way.

2) What areas cause you to cry or what breaks your heart?

What you have compassion for might be indication of your calling.

Jesus had compassion on those He encountered and healed those with diseases. He healed the broken hearted. In Luke 4 it talks about part of His mission statement and why He was anointed.

Mother Teresa who’s mission was to help the poor and unloved said. “We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty”

The poor and unloved broke Mother Teresa’s heart. She was a missionary teaching in a convent during the week and on Sunday’s helping the poor until one day she decided that she was going to help the poor full time.

So what keeps you up at night? What problem has God anointed you to solve. What grieves you?

Poverty? Sickness? Abuse? Injustice? Abortion? Orphans? Drug addiction? The homeless?

3) The desires and passions that God placed in your heart is an indication of the gifts and callings in your life.

The definition of passion is you believe in something so much you are willing to suffer for it.

That’s why the word passion is connected to Jesus going to the cross. Its a place of suffering.

The 11 apostles passion caused all but John to suffer death for their faith.

If your not willing to suffer for assignment then you don’t believe in it strong enough.

Psalm 37:4 NASB95

4 Delight yourself in the Lord; And He will give you the desires of your heart.

This Scripture, I believe, has a twofold application.

1)It means that God will cause us to desire what He wants us to have.

2)As we trust in Him, He will cause that prophetically inspired desire to come to pass.

So desire can be a supernatural indication of the will of God.

Guitar - Business - Desire for the word and to teach.

Discern your gifts. Name your calling. Build your daily agenda around it.
