This sermon explores how to apply Ecclesiastes 9:10 by giving our best in all we do, finding purpose in everyday tasks, and cultivating a meaningful life.
Good morning, beloved family. It is indeed a joy and a privilege to gather here today, united in spirit and truth, to break the bread of life, the Word of God.
Our passage today comes from the wisdom-filled book of Ecclesiastes, a book that so eloquently speaks to the human condition. It is a book that doesn't shy away from the hard questions of life, but rather, it invites us to ponder them. In Ecclesiastes 9:10, the writer, under the divine inspiration of the Holy Spirit, pens these words, "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom."
What a profound piece of wisdom! It urges us to give our all, our very best in everything we do, for the time is short. But how do we apply this wisdom in our lives? How can we live out this verse in a way that not only glorifies God but also brings fulfillment and purpose to our lives?
We will be looking at three main points today: Maximizing Momentum in Mission, Manifesting Might in Mundane, and Mastering Mindset for Meaningful Life. These points, drawn from the wellspring of Scripture, will guide us as we seek to live out the wisdom of Ecclesiastes 9:10.
As we prepare to delve into these truths, I think of something said by Hudson Taylor, “God's work done in God's way will never lack God's supply.” I am also reminded of the words of the great preacher Charles Spurgeon, who once said, "Visit many good books, but live in the Bible." This is our aim today, to live in the Bible, to allow its truths to shape us and mold us, to guide our steps and inform our lives.
In the realm of our Christian mission, the wisdom of Ecclesiastes 9:10 calls us to a life of fervor and dedication. It's about giving our all, our very best in everything we do. This is not just about the big, grand gestures but also the small, seemingly insignificant tasks. It's about the way we live our lives each day, the choices we make, the words we speak, the love we show. It's about living with purpose and passion, with a sense of urgency and a commitment to excellence.
We are all called to a mission. For some, that mission may be to preach the gospel in far-off lands. For others, it may be to serve the poor and needy in their community. For others still, it may be to raise godly children or to excel in their careers for the glory of God. Whatever our mission, we are called to do it with all our might.
The first aspect of this call to maximize our momentum in mission is the recognition of the mission itself. We must first understand that we are all part of God's grand narrative. Each of us has a role to play, a mission to fulfill. This mission is not something we choose for ourselves, but something that God has chosen for us. It is a divine assignment, a heavenly mandate. And it is in the fulfillment of this mission that we find our true purpose and meaning in life.
Next is the commitment to the mission. Once we recognize our mission, we must commit ourselves to it wholeheartedly. This is not a half-hearted commitment, but a total and complete surrender. It's about saying yes to God and no to everything else. This commitment is not easy. It requires sacrifice and self-denial. But it is the path to true fulfillment and joy.
The third aspect is the pursuit of the mission. Recognizing and committing to our mission is not enough. We must also actively pursue it. This is where the rubber meets the road. It's about taking action, about doing the work. It's about rolling up our sleeves and getting our hands dirty. This pursuit is not a sprint, but a marathon. It requires endurance and perseverance. But it is in this pursuit that we experience the power and presence of God in a real and tangible way.
Lastly is the fulfillment of the mission. This is the end goal, the finish line. It's about completing the work that God has given us to do. It's about hearing those beautiful words from our Lord and Savior, "Well done, good and faithful servant." This fulfillment is not about personal achievement or success. It's about glorifying God and advancing His kingdom. It's about making a difference in the world for the sake of Christ.
In the ordinary, everyday tasks of life, we find opportunities to manifest might ... View this full PRO sermon free with PRO
