“No, we neither make nor save ourselves. God does both the making and saving. He creates each of us by Christ Jesus to join him in the work he does, the good work he has gotten ready for us to do, work we had better be doing.”
Ephesians 2:10 (MSG)
From our opening scripture, it is obvious that God has a work for you to do; that is why He made you and saved you.
How do you find the work God wants you to do? You find that work by discovering God's vision for your life. In Proverbs 29:18, the Bible says, “Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.” To live without a vision is like dying without knowing.
What is vision? A vision is a revelation of God's redemptive plan and your role in it. Vision is a redemptive revelation. It refers to a prophetic revelation. This is why Proverbs 29:18 in the New King James Version states thus, “Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; But happy is he who keeps the law.” This proves that you cannot be disciplined until you have vision. When you lose sight of vision, you become undisciplined.
Catch God's vision for your life because the moment you capture God's vision for your life it will organize you. That is what has kept me consistent all these years. I am not doing ministry just to be doing ministry, there is a vision driving me. God told me to ‘set forth a standard’. In other words, He was telling me to become an example and a reference point. That is the reason I live my life the way I do. What about you? What is your vision? What drives you?
Instruction.
Please read Colossians 4:12 and ask God to cause you to stand perfect and complete in all His will for your life.

Ephesians 2:8-10 (MSG), Ephesians 2:8-10 (NLT), Ephesians 2:8-10 (AMP).
Doing the Word
Don't settle for anything less than God's vision for your life.
