Recognition of your assignment

Bienhome Muivah *

You are here on your assignment. Everything God created is a solution to a problem. Your eyes see, your ears hear. Mother solves emotional problems. Dentist solves dental problems. Lawyer solves legal problems. Your assignment on the earth is to solve a problem for somebody, somewhere and receive a reward for it. "Each one should remain in the situation which he was in when God called him" (I Cor. 7:20).

When your assignment is unrecognized you are uncelebrated. When you are not celebrated, you are not rewarded. "No torment on earth equals the torment of living a life unrewarded." For the gift. And solution lying dormant within you.

Jesus taught to go where you are celebrated instead of where you are tolerated. The only difference between obscenity and significance is the enemy you decide to conquer. Without Goliath, David would remain hidden without significance in the pages of history as a shepherd boy on a hillside. So, your friends provide comfort, but your enemies provide promotion.

Your assignment is the only place where financial provision is guaranteed.

God instructed Elijah to go to the brook when a raven would feed him (I King 17). There, he received his daily provision … One day the brook dried up why? His assignment had changed.

Lack is a clue that God is changing your Assignment. Elijah's new assignment was to visit Zarephath, where a starving widow would receive her financial miracle throughout the remaining part of the famine. When God sends you to a place, provision is the promised incentive for obedience. Thousands are discovering their Assignment throughout the earth these days. Their joy is exploding. Their peace is like a glory cloud around their life daily because they are at their place of assignment.

Recognizing your Assignment will dry your tears, unload your burdens and restore the joy to your countenance.

Prov. 4:10-13; 11:14
When wisdom entered into your heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee…

Recognition of an uncommon Mentor

Mentors are teachers of wisdom. Various mentors will enter and exit your life. The Holy Spirit is your dominant and most important mentor of all. (John 14:15-16) Wisdom determines the success of your life, wisdom is the principal thing (Prov.4:7).

"He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm" (Prov. 13:20).

Joshua knew this: Now Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom because Moses had laid his hands on him. So the Israelites listened to him and did what the Lord had commanded Moses" (Deut. 34:9).

"Esteem her, and she will exalt you; embrace her, and she will honour you. She will set a garland of grace on your head and present you with a crown of splendor" (Prov.4:8-9).

"Now Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom because Moses had laid his hands on him. So the Israelites listened to him and did what the Lord had commanded Moses" (Deut. 34:9).

Your best friend is comfortable with your past
Your mentor is comfortable with your future
Your best friend ignores your weaknesses
Your mentor removes your weaknesses
Your best friend is your cheerleader
Your mentor is your coach
Your best friend sees what you do is right
Your mentor sees what you do is wrong

An uncommon mentor will become an enemy to the enemies of his protégé. Jesus proved this "Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift you as wheat …" Luke 22:31-32. Jesus creates an uncommon protégé. He took a fisherman and turned Peter into a master preacher. We all need to have a mentor, for example Ruth opened her heart to Naomi. Elisha expressed his longings to Elijah. David fled and escaped, and to Samuel at Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him (I Sam.19:18)

Friends, recognition will bring years of joy, enthusiasm and fulfillment in your life!
