I guess one of the questions Jesus will ask us at the Judgement Seat of Christ (Bema Judgment) is – have you done the things I called you to do? Just a few days ago, I wrote on the types of judgment awaiting us on the day of Jesus Christ: https://ronnielim.com/2023/07/13/personal-responsibility-and-accountability/
Have we fulfilled our calling in God? Did we live in the centre of His will? Did we execute His plans and purposes for our lives? Or were we too busy living our own lives, fulfilling our own plans and ambitions? From the days of our youth till our old age, did we only pursue our own things and matters? Was God ever figured on any of the things we do? Did we serve Him in church and ministry? What is the Lord’s specific will for our lives? This is something for us to seek out with God and discover and fulfil. I always believe each and every one of us has a specific role to play in the Kingdom of God. We are that particular brick in the wall. Only we can fit that gap with our unique talent and giftings in Christ.
Having said that, if we are still on the road of discovery on God’s purpose for us and are still unsure, whatever our age – the message is to make ourselves useful. Call up someone and make conversation or in today’s world, just WhatsApp someone. Our care and concern may light up someone’s day. Go out and invite someone for a meal and a time of fellowship. Invite people to our church service and be their usher when they come. Attend to them. Do home or hospital visitations. Offer to pray for people and their needs. Pray and intercede for people in our midst. There is much we can do if we choose to make ourselves useful.
What’s my purpose in life is something for us to discover with God? Once we discover that, we can live a purpose-driven life, being the best that we can ever be in God. We can live in the centre of God’s will. In the meantime, make ourselves useful. In fact, we might end up discovering our calling in God as we serve Him in small and minute ways. Maybe our purpose in life is to be a Barnabas or a Timothy. Not everyone has to be Peter or Paul or John!
