About multiplying your work…
Acts 10:1 At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a
centurion in what was known as the Italian Regiment. 2 He and all his family were devout
and God-fearing; he gave generously to those in need and prayed to God regularly. 3 One
day at about three in the afternoon he had a vision. He distinctly saw an angel of God,
who came to him and said, "Cornelius!" 4 Cornelius stared at him in fear.
"What is it, Lord?" he asked. The angel answered, "Your prayers and gifts
to the poor have come up as a memorial offering before God. (NIV)
No, not your 8 to 5 kind of work, your "other"
work. Every person born on earth is given a mission to accomplish. Each of us is given a
work to do. Some of us accomplish our mission easily and we know it. Others of us never
accomplish our mission. What is striking is that every person, if they are brutally and
excruciatingly honest, knows what their mission in life is. You multiply your work or
mission in life when you put your life in the hands of God. You multiply your work or
mission for God when you give God your life. This marvelous multiplication process takes
place because God is the person who gives you your mission. It is God who ordained you to
accomplish your mission in life. God will help you reestablish your mission if you have
lost it and God will give you knowledge of your mission if you have not discovered your
mission. The power of God who is love is always available to you so you can accomplish His
mission and His goal for your life. When you choose to walk the path of Christ, you are
beginning to walk the path that will lead you to finding your mission. Every day, each of
us is called upon to do what God wants us to do. In a million different ways, we are all
given the opportunity to show others what God wants us to show them. Every person in every
walk of life, walks through life with the opportunity to be a person of God. No one has a
destination in life given by God that is connected to the darkness but everyone has a
destination given by God that is connected to His Light.
