Work for God's Kingdom



“God has given each of you some special abilities; be sure to use them to help each other, passing on to others God’s many kinds of blessings.” (1 Peter 4:10 TLB)

That means the best work for you is the work that best expresses your talent.


God has wired every one of us to do something different. The reason we all like to do different things is so everything gets done.

The Work That Makes You Happiest Is for God’s Kingdom

We were made to make our lives count



You are happiest when you’re using the talents God gave you for something greater than yourself that gives your life meaning.

The greatest cause in the world is the Kingdom of God. It is the Church.

The whole reason the world exists is so God could build a family that one day will live with him forever.

There is nothing more meaningful and purposeful than giving your life to the Kingdom of God.



Your Work

I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do (John 17:4).

The Lord has revealed to us that the number one thing we are to do is love the Lord our God with all our heart and to love our neighbor as ourselves. His desire is for us to know Him and the power of His resurrection. These mandates deal with our relationship with Him. The fruit of this relationship must then result in our glorifying Him by completing the work He has given each of us to do. It will become a by-product of this relationship, not an end in itself.

What is that work God has called you to do? Jesus never did anything the Father had not instructed him to do. He lived in such communion with the Father that He knew when to turn left and when to turn to the right. Is it possible to have such a relationship with our Heavenly Father? I think that if it weren't, He would not have given us such an example.

When Jesus was 12 years old, he already knew what business he was in.

Then, at the end of his life, he told the Father, “I have finished the work that you gave me to do.”  Those are the bookends of a life well lived.

What is your business? What is the work God has given you to do? And, how’s business?

Those are the fundamental questions you need to be asking about your life.

Don’t waste your life.

"Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unreachable things you do not know" (Jeremiah 33:3). 

What has he called you to do? Perhaps you are called to be the best CPA in your city or the best advertising executive or the best office worker or assembly line person in your company. Whatever work he has called you to do, he will use you as His instrument to accomplish something through you that He has uniquely prepared you to do.

When our life is complete, what a glorious day it will be if we can each say "I have completed the work you gave me to do." This will have brought great glory to Him.

Ask God to show you the work he wants you to do, and then use your gifts to make the rest of your life the best of your life.




Biblical Principles in Network Marketing

As a Pastor, Bill Nissen was against Network Marketing for years.  In 2003, a friend helped 
him see a new perspective.  He still dislikes the ethics of many who do it, but he sees a 
biblical perspective that allows him to not only support network marketing, but embrace it as
a way to serve people.  Watch This Video. It is longer than most (20 minutes) but carries essential information.
