Ephesians 2:10 is such a powerful and inspiring verse that speaks to the purpose and identity that every believer is called to walk in.

Think of that talented artisan who puts so much time into creating stunning artistry pieces of crochet. The crocheter forms the foundation out of nothing and intricately stitches the piece, string by string into a beautiful piece; what a labor of love!

Now think of your life in the hands of our Master, Jesus Christ. Consider the opening words, “For we are His workmanship.” This declaration reminds us that each one of us is a masterpiece crafted by the loving hands of God. Just as a skilled artist invests time, skill, and care into creating a work of art, God is investing His love, wisdom, and creativity into forming us into what He wants us to be.

We have been created in Christ Jesus and this means that looking up to him, as the author and finisher of our faith will spiritually transform, renew and make us ready to do good works. These good works make up our destiny. Before we were born, and even much later when God’s plan aligned you to Daystar University, He planned in advance your destiny and the good works you would do to fulfill it!

Through your everyday routine, He models you into purpose such that your life will be a masterpiece that will speak forth all that he desires in your life. Apostle Paul provides us with a roadmap for living a purposeful and meaningful life in Christ through the ultimate call in Ephesians 2:10; that God prepared beforehand. When something is prepared for you, you must be ready to partake in it. In this very measure, He desires that you would walk in His steps.

When we intentionally yield to God, our pre-arranged destiny comes to pass and we will be rewarded for simply doing what he wanted us to accomplish. There is a reward from Jesus for us as mentioned in Revelation 22:12, according to what each person has done.

In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good works and glorify your father in Heaven. Let your light symbolize hope, goodness and the knowledge of Christ. Allow it to dispel darkness, reveal truth and guide your way in times of uncertainties.

Carrying the Legacy of Light requires you to pass on these virtues to the world because our purpose in Christ is not passive. We are not just meant to exist or survive but to thrive and contribute. Leave behind a lasting impact of your good works that will continue to shine bright even after you have left.

Live out your faith in the world through acts of kindness, love, and service to others. In doing so, you become the hands and feet of Jesus, carrying out His work on earth. He has already laid out a path for you, filled with opportunities to engage in good works and serve others in the name of Christ. Your journey is not aimless; it is purposeful and ordained by our Heavenly Father.

In light of our theme verse, my prayer is that we will be inspired to live a life filled with gratitude for our identity as God’s workmanship, a life of service to others through good works, and a life of obedience to God’s divine plan. Seek God’s guidance, listen to His leading, and align your steps with His preordained plan.

Standout in whatever you do as a professional in the marketplace and in doing so, you not only find fulfillment and joy but also become instruments of God’s love and grace in this world.

“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28

Step out as a re-created person that will fulfill the destiny God has given you. Light up the world within and around you and leave a Legacy!
