Kingdom Assignments

Jeremiah 18-20; Psalms 93; John 17

“’Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do.’”

John 17:3, 4

Eternal life is found in a relationship with the Father and the Son, not by religious works. However, the Father has kingdom-assignments, or work, for each of us to accomplish once we enter his kingdom. This work begins with believing in Jesus whom the Father sent(John 6:28). Like Jesus, we give glory to God through our work in the kingdom. Like Jesus, we must be focused on knowing and completing the work we have been given by the Father. When we understand our sacred vocation, we experience purpose, meaning, and fulfillment in our work with the Father. This work begins with faith in Christ and then is expressed through living the gospel of the kingdom of heaven wherever we are. We pray for the will of the Father on earth as it is in heaven, knowing we are available to receive and complete the Father’s kingdom-assignments.

“Lord God, I pray for grace and faith to complete the assignments you have given me, for your glory.”
