I AM God’s Handyman: Living Out God's Purpose for Your Life

 

I AM God’s Handyman (Ephesians 2:10)

"For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."  Ephesians 2:10 (KSB)

   Do you know that God has always had a plan for your life? You are not an accident, and you are certainly not a mistake. Nothing in your life is happening by chance or coincidence. Everything is woven into the fabric of a divine purpose. You cannot leave this earth until that purpose is fulfilled. Before you were formed in your mother’s womb, before you ever took on human form, you existed as a thought in the mind of God. You were spoken into existence by the Word of God. Even when you didn’t understand your path, God still had a plan for you. As Scripture reminds us, God says, “I know the plans I have for you… plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope.”

   You are not just occupying space on this earth; you are divinely designed for purpose. Everything in your life, every triumph, trial, and tear serves a higher calling. All things are working together for your good because you love God and are called according to His purpose. There comes a time when we must say, “Nevertheless, not my will, but Yours be done.” Your plans may be good, but God’s plan is greater. His thoughts are higher, and His ways are beyond what we can imagine. Eyes have not seen, ears have not heard, nor has it entered the heart of man the things God has prepared for those who love Him, but He reveals it to us by His Spirit.

   In Ephesians 2:10, Paul tells us that God created us in Christ Jesus to do good works, which He prepared in advance. This means our lives are not random; they are intentional. Jesus set the example, laid the foundation, and now passes the torch to us. It’s our turn to carry on the work, to build upon what He began. We are called to follow Jesus, to be like Him, to live like Him. Jesus said, “If anyone would be My disciple, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me.” That’s not a secondary plan it’s always been the plan.

   You are meant to be a savior to others in need, a light in a dark world, the salt of the earth, a city set on a hill. You are called to be the living water that others thirst for, the bread of life that nourishes souls. Everything Jesus did, you are empowered to do and even greater works. God is looking for someone He can depend on. Can He count on you? Can He trust you to pick up the baton and run your race? You are God’s handyman, His vessel to bring healing, truth, love, and transformation into the world. It’s always been the plan. So now, with courage and conviction, say: “Here I am, Lord. Send me.”

   It’s always been the plan:

  • Be who Jesus was
  • Say what Jesus said
  • Do what Jesus did and greater works

   So, let me ask you what was the last job you worked? More importantly, what are you working on now for the Kingdom?

📖 Reflection: Are you walking in the plan God designed for you, or trying to live out a plan of your own?

💡 Action Step: Spend time in prayer this week asking God to reveal the next step in His purpose for your life.

  Why Me? God’s Glory (Romans 8:18) Why? That's a question often in our Souls. Why is this happening to me? Why am I having this experience? Why am I facing this health challenge? There's an answer! Why am I having these relationship challenges? There’s an answer, and it’s the same one. Why am I having this financial challenge? There’s an answer! There’s an answer to every question in your Soul, and the answer is glory. The reason for every experience in your life is so that God can get the glory. The purpose of all our challenges is not to bring us down but to transform us and bring glory to God. Why am I having this test, this trial, this tribulation? So God can get the glory. Why am I experiencing this persecution, this headache, this pain? So, God can get the glory. Why am I witnessing this miracle, sign, or wonder? So, God can get the glory. Why am I having this challenge in my local assembly, in my ministry, in my business, and in my organization? So God can get the...

The Sacred Sunday Posture:  Kneeling “ A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees; if you are willing, you can make me clean (Mark 1:40).” In addition to bowing your heads and closing your eyes, many people learn to “get on your knees and pray.” Often, it’s at night before going to sleep. Parents instruct their children to kneel on the side of the bed and say their prayers. Perhaps you have fond memories of kneeling and reciting the Lord’s Prayer or the 23 rd Psalm. Or maybe you were taught, like me, “Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake. I pray the Lord, my soul, to take. God bless mommy, daddy...” Kneeling is a physical way to revere God as your Creator and remember that God is your Source. “Know that it is the Lord, who is God. It is he that has made us and not we ourselves. We are his people and the sheep of his pasture (Psalm 100:3).” Without reverencing and ...

Hidden Treasure: You Are a Vessel, Not Just an Instrument

I AM Not an Instrument. I AM a Vessel “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KSB) Hidden in Plain Sight The image that Paul presents in 2 Corinthians 4 is that of a treasure hidden within an earthen vessel. In the Old Testament, people didn’t have locks, alarm systems, or cameras to protect their valuables. Instead, their belongings were often left exposed, making them vulnerable to thieves and robbers. To safeguard their most valuable treasures, they would hide them in jars of clay—earthen vessels—placing them in plain sight. A thief or robber would never think to look there because it wasn’t an obvious hiding place. Likewise, God has placed something valuable inside of you—a treasure of great worth. Yet, people often fail to see it. You may be right in front of them, but they don’t recognize your gifts, skills, talents, anointing, abilities, or sensitivities. You are hidden in plain sight bec...
