2 Timothy 4:5 But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

Mark Twain stated, “The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.” Every one of us has a specific purpose on this earth. God instructs us to fulfill our ministry. Our ministry and our purpose are synonymous.

Some of us were meant to cook and some of us were meant to teach. Some of us were meant to be in front of the stage and some of us were meant to be in the background. The problem some of us have is we are in areas where we’re not fulfilling our purpose. We are in areas where WE believe we can make enough money to fulfill the lifestyle we desire to live. If we truly say we trust God and His Word, we would fulfill the ministry He predestined for us and still enjoy the great benefits in life.

For instance, God can take a janitor who is making $10 an hour and turn him into a millionaire. That janitor can start working and in two years, God (not man) can promote him to supervisor. A few years later, that janitor could land a position where he is the head of maintenance. While he’s head of maintenance, he finds his wife. Finally, God could lead that janitor to open his own janitorial business where he’s the CEO making millions. Being a janitor is not a popular occupation for society, but if that janitor is being led by the Holy Spirit and fulfilling his ministry on earth, this life will provide that janitor, or anyone else with 100% satisfaction.

Walk in your purpose (ministry), and trust God.
