Life Mission

1 Peter 4:7 (NKJV) But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.

If my life’s mission was truly centered upon leading lost souls to Christ, and helping Christians to know Him better, what would my life look like? How would it change my day? What would it require of me, and what would I need to give up? Such questions often lead us down paths that take us out of our comfort zone. With such questions, our very way of life can be threatened. Reasons and excuses flood our minds. We are afraid we may have to give up something we enjoy, or go somewhere God leads that may take us through difficult times. Once we are able to “throw aside everything that hinders,” then we are able to “run with perseverance.” When my life’s mission is staked in making a living, my center and beneficiary is I. A Christ focused life leads us to use what God has given us in effort to benefit others. If our mission were centered upon others, what would that truly look like?
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
