Keep Watch on Your Divine Mandate
Keep watch on your divine mandate because you will give an account of your work before the Lord upon His second coming. Rest when you are tired, but don’t convert your rest period into prolonged procrastination.

Unlock your full potential by investing in your education, stepping out in faith, and pressing on in perseverance. Discover the keys to realising your God-given abilities and fulfilling your purpose.
The way to fulfilling your destiny is filled with opportunities for growth, but it also needs perseverance from your end. By keeping a diligent and God-centered mindset, you will see the fruit of your labour, both in your work and in your relationship with God.
As a minister of God, you should not live by the demands of men. Otherwise, you will end up living to fulfil people’s demands rather than living to please God. Sometimes, what people want you to do for them isn’t bad. They could be helpful. However, there are many instances where people’s demands would be contrary to the will of God for your life. So, be careful.
John was offended to see his ministry diminish as Jesus’ own flourishes. Unfortunately, that is how many minister’s lives end up like. They can’t bear the news of seeing someone they started with grow in ministry past theirs. Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on the account of Jesus’ work in other people’s lives.
Jesus described the kingdom of God like a mustard seed that a man took and put in his garden. Then what? It grew to become a large tree and the birds of the air nested in its branches. That description of God’s kingdom is about you, dear one.
Make sure your ministry doesn’t get discredited based on what you do in secret and public. Don’t practice evil things secretly, and think God isn’t watching you. Again, keep labouring effectively to ensure that God’s work prospers in your hands. Serving the Lord is not always easy, but it is worth it.
The journey of life is long—talking about day after day, week after week, month after month and years after years. You don’t need to rush to fulfil what God has said about your life in your own time. Yes, I understand that it is good to live the dream. But it takes patience to get there. Wage war on God’s prophecies about your life by prayer as you work. The Lord will perfect everything concerning your life.
We are in a race of faith. That race must be run with patience, not with a rushy spirit (see Hebrews 12:1). Therefore, believing God every step of the way is very, very important. And that activity, in its entirety, is work. In fact, that work is difficult.
Make time for people – both impromptu interruptions and scheduled appointments. It will help you minister to the needs of people individually, as many as you are able. Nevertheless, prioritise your safety, integrity, and health, lest anyone try to take advantage of your sincerity and soil God’s work in your hands.
Whatever God calls you to do, He supplies the grace to fulfil it. So, maybe you’ve been slack in doing something He told you to do or have delayed. But, just as scripture has said, please do not receive God’s grace in vain in your journey to fulfil your calling.
It is possible to live joyfully amidst the chaos in your life. Why? Because God can make you fix your eyes on the unseen promises He has for you, including your reward in heaven.
