Building Unshakeable FaithSample

How can clarity about our God-given assignment and spiritual authority take our faith to new levels?

The Apostle Paul made a powerful declaration in Acts 20:24: "But none of these things move me, nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God." Notice how Paul's unshakeable faith flowed from his crystal-clear understanding of his assignment.

Recently, I had a conversation with someone in similar ministry work who seemed concerned about my pace. While they might have interpreted my contentment as complacency, I remained at peace because I understood both my specific assignment and God's timing for my life. This revelation brings tremendous freedom—when we're secure in our calling, we can genuinely celebrate others' success without questioning our own path.

In my own journey, I've learned to pray a simple yet powerful prayer: "Lord, multiply my little." This prayer acknowledges that while I may have limited resources or influence, God can maximize whatever I offer for His glory. It's a prayer that aligns with both our assignment and our authority.

Speaking of authority, Jeremiah 1:10 reveals something profound: "See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out and to pull down, to destroy and to throw down, to build and to plant." God has given us spiritual authority to establish His will on earth. When we walk in this authority, our faith strengthens naturally because we witness God's power flowing through our obedient actions.

Pause and Ponder: How might understanding your specific assignment and spiritual authority change how you approach current challenges?
