While I hear many believers and ministries declaring that they are "here to glorify God" we often do not hear the specifics of how they plan to glorify God. There are many that repeat this mantra without realizing they may just be participating in speaking Christianese. It may sound good, but where's the beef? Just how are you going to glorify God? Jesus answers this question for us within His prayer to His heavenly Father. Just before His arrest and crucifixion, He prayed: "I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do." (Jn. 17:4) As believers we are all called to follow in Jesus' footsteps and glorify Our Father in heaven. With Jesus as our example, we too are to complete the work the Father has given us to do. The work the Father has given each one of us is key to knowing, understanding, and fulfilling our purpose in this life. For example, the Scriptures clearly say that Jesus' purpose was "to destroy the works of the devil." (1 Jn. 3:8) Jesus was a person of purpose. Through His works and His words during His earthly ministry and with His death on the cross Jesus fulfilled His purpose by utterly destroying the works of the devil. He completed the work His Father had given Him to do. Jesus clearly knew and understood the work His Father had given Him to do. Do you know the work God has called you to do? Knowing and understanding what He was called to do, Jesus walked out His life purpose. Do you know and understand your purpose in this life? If not, why not? If not, then what will it take for you to better know and understand the work God has given you to do? How is that work linked to your purpose? Seeking to answer these questions will shape and define your future and destiny. When do you plan to start?
