Don't quit the assignment, complete it

Well my friend here we are in the brand new year of 2009. Many of us have great expectations for 2009. President Obama takes center stage. God has great things in store for us because we are His children. As I write this blog, I'm aware of much of the chaos that plagues our world(famine, war, hatred, selfishness and list goes on). Although I don't know what the future holds, I trust the one who holds the future. I believe our mandate for 2009 is the continue trusting God while walking in our assignment. Do you know what your assignment is during this season of your life? If you don't know, I encourage you to spend some time with God getting your assignment. Through prayer and communion with God, He reveals the assignments for us. When we get our assignment from Him, it helps you and I stay on track to reach our destiny and fulfill our purpose in life. Maybe your assignment is to finish school, raise your children, sharpen your craft, or complete a project. Whatever it is, stay on course, don't let the distractions of the devil keep you from your assignment. Every time I have sinned since my salvation, I have learned that while I was sinning, I was not completing my God given assignment. The sin would always keep me from finishing what God called me to do. Sin has a way of delaying our destiny, blocking our blessings, impeding our progress, and holding up our help. We must resist sin with the power of God in us. Complete the assignment that God has given you for this season of your life. No matter how hard it may seem, never quit your assignment, complete it. The apostle Paul didn't quit life, he completed it when he said "the time of my departure is at hand, I have fought a good fight, I have FINISHED my course I have kept the faith..." When we complete an assignment there is always a reward waiting for us. I'm encouraging my self while writing this. Don't quit it, complete it.
