“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” Ephesians 2:10
Many of us ask God to bless our careers, but perhaps there is a deeper question we should be asking: Is my profession aligned with His agenda?
God is not merely interested in giving us a profession or helping us succeed within it. He desires to use our profession as a platform through which His purposes can be expressed and His Kingdom advanced.
Whatever our profession, our work can become an extension of God’s purpose on the earth. Every profession presents opportunities to demonstrate His character, solve problems, influence culture, steward resources and serve people with excellence.
Scripture gives us powerful examples. Daniel served at the highest levels of government. Joseph managed the economy of a nation. Lydia was a successful businesswoman, and Luke was a physician. They did not have to abandon their professions to fulfil God’s purpose. Instead, God used their skills, expertise, integrity, relationships and influence as instruments for accomplishing His agenda. Their profession became a platform for purpose.
Ephesians 2:10 reminds us that we are God’s masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus for good works that He prepared for us long ago. This means our careers are not separate from our Kingdom assignment. When surrendered to God, they can become part of how those prepared works are accomplished.
In this series, we will explore what it means to align our profession with God’s agenda—the structures we must put in place, the choices alignment requires, the benefits it produces and the pitfalls we must avoid.
Our prayer is that God will bring us into a place of complete alignment, where our ambitions, abilities, opportunities and influence are surrendered to His purpose, so that we truly function as His masterpiece in the marketplace. Click Here to download the series.
