Let us talk about your assignments from the Lord. Are you faithfully fulfilling them?
Some people call assignments a “call” or a “ministry” from the Lord. But that makes it sound ominous, huge, scary. And that also tends to make us rationalise away the need to be on assignment for the Lord.
Because we think, “Nah, I am not qualified to be called”. Or, “No way would the Lord give me a ministry to handle! I am not holy enough!”
But…
Ephesians 2:10, NKJV states,
… we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works,
which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
These good works* are our assignments* that God prepared for each of us to do. Do you know what are the assignments God has given to you to do? How are you fulfilling your assignments?
*Please note:
[We not talking about salvation here because we are saved by grace through faith. In other words, we are saved FOR good works, not by good works.]
Size Does Not Matter
Some of us have many assignments, some have few. Some have seemingly small assignments while others huge ones that attract a lot of attention.
The size of our assignment does not matter. What matters is that we do what He has tasked us to do and be faithful to fulfil it.
Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes.
Matthew 24:46, ESV
What is Your Assignment in This Season of Your Life?
Is it to be a stay-at-home-mother, or is it to care for your elderly parents, or perhaps is it to invest in the community that you have been placed into?
All of us need to know our assignments from the Lord because if we don’t know what He is calling us to do, we cannot go and fulfil them.
But How?
Well, do not just rush and take on the first thing you are asked to do. Instead, let me encourage you to first align yourself with Him and let Him do the assigning. Yes, this does require you to spend time seeking Him with all your heart, soul and mind. And sometimes (oftentimes?) it requires some form of fasting as well.
But it is all worth it because we ARE living in the last days and we need to know what our assignments are so that we can go and fulfil them. We do not want to end up standing before the Lord empty-handed.
Need Some Help to Process This?
Our ministry Archippus Awakening has a few for you.
Books
SAY TO ARCHIPPUS is written for the Body of Christ but appeals directly and personally to the individual. It is the sounding of a clarion call for all to be awakened, aligned and assigned. To aid the reader in his/her own processing, questions have been added after each chapter for personal reflection or discussion at group level.
ALIGNMENT CHECK Is there more to Christianity than church service, cell group and that odd ministry trip when convenient? There definitely is! Jesus invites all to participate in the advancement of His glorious kingdom. And it begins with an Alignment Check. Focus on the aligning. Let God do the assigning. The book is a practical follow-on volume for those who have been awakened with the desire to be aligned and to discover kingdom assignments.

Let me leave you with our ministry’s verse as you ponder and re-assess your assignments in the Lord:
And say to Archippus,
Colossians 4:17, NKJV
“Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you may fulfil it.”
