“God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.” Hebrews 6:10

Aspiration is a key factor that determines your success in life. By aspiration, I mean your goal and ambition regarding life in general. Only a very few can properly determine what their aim or goal in life is or should be. Choosing a profession or a vocation for oneself or for our children is a very serious affair. Choosing for children often generate quarrels and misgivings on what both parents and children think should be the best vocation. Some adults have dropped their avowed profession and taken to something new entirely! The driving force in choosing a profession or a vocation ought to be, “SERVICE TO ALL, GLORY TO GOD”. God cares about what you do in your Vocation. He wants you to rejoice in it. And he wants to be glorified in it. The basic questions to consider when choosing a vocation are: 1. Are you ready to serve the glory of God in anything you choose to do, by avoiding sinfulness and maintaining a clean conscience? (1 Corinthians 10:31, Romans 14:23) 2. Is the job worth the energy you are putting into it? (Ecclesiastes 9:10).

Some dissipate energy and yet get a little return or impact. But if the service is valuable to humanity, then your cumulative low impacts can be huge at the end, in which case, they can be changed by Faith into worship, which is a very good way of working for the glory of God. 3. Are you able to serve the greatest needs of humanity in what you do? “Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered.”(Proverbs 11:25) The word of God today wants us to beam a searchlight on our chosen profession or vocation and ask a basic question; “in what way is this job serving humanity, and serving the glory of God same time“? Our move to the top is accelerated when we serve God and humanity together in our chosen profession. Our wealth is also retained and lasts from generation to generation when God is glorified in its foundation (2 Corinthians 9:7-9) Choosing the best career, is not to choose an easier job so to say, but rather, we ought to make our job “Christ centered, serving the glory of God through serving others.” If this is your aspiration, God will guide you. Seek him supremely in these ways, and let your heart be your guide.

Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I commit my vocation into your hands today, and I declare all that I do henceforth shall be of greatest service to humanity, all to the glory of God. Lord, sanctify all my endeavors and aspirations and let them yield good fruits onto me and onto my generations. AMEN.
