THE ASSIGNMENT

As you know, we try to minister on Facebook and YouTube three times a week. We call it “equipping the saints.” There are times that we have appointments and life’s interruptions so we can’t go “live.” Today was one of those days. I was caught up in some personal business and could not go live.

Even though that happened, the Holy Spirit spoke to me. He told me to tell the people through text that they needed to finish the assignment that they had been given. There would be no new assignment until the old one was completed.

Now, I do not know who needed to hear that, but I am assured that it was more than one person. When God gives us an assignment, whether a big or small assignment, he will not release us to go on to the next step until we complete the one given.

Jesus talked about this in Luke 14:28-30 where he said, “28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? 29 Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, 30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.”

Then he went on to say in verse 33, “So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.”

When you take on an assignment from the Lord, you must first consider the cost. Are you willing to give Him your “all” or will you quit when the going is hard? There is a price to pay to be a willing disciple. The price? Everything – your life, your belongings, and your will. God is looking for those that are willing to go all the way and finish the assignment.

Promotion comes to those that complete the tasks that God gives us, whether big or small. Then one day you will hear those words we all want to hear: “Well done, thou good and faithful servant.”
