Each of us should focus on our individual assignments from Above!
Once again:
Why am I here? Where am I going? How do I get there?—the question now becomes: how, then, should I live? What personal changes should I make in my life to fulfill my purpose? What should I focus my attention on first? What should be my priority? You cannot complete your assignment if you don’t answer those specific questions. The Holy Spirit will guide you and lead you into all Truth, especially your purpose.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 4:
1 Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it.
2 For indeed the Gospel was preached to us as well as to them (Israelites in the wilderness); but the Word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it.
3 For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said: “So I swore in My wrath, ‘They shall not enter My rest,'” although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
11 Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience.
12 For the Word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.
There are two aspects of our salvation: the gift (justification) and the expectation of rewards for our walk which is associated with sanctification. We will give an account of what we did with our “talents”.
Jesus spoke in Luke chapter 13:
23 Then one said to Him, “Lord, are there few who are saved?” And He said to them,
24 “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able.
25 When once the Master of the house has risen up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open for us,’ and He will answer and say to you, ‘I do not know you, where you are from,’
26 then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets.’
27 But He will say, ‘I tell you I do not know you, where you are from. Depart from Me, all you workers of iniquity.’
28 There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the Kingdom of God, and yourselves thrust out. 29 They will come from the east and the west, from the north and the south, and sit down in the kingdom of God.
30 And indeed there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last.”
In other Words:
29 You will see people streaming from the four corners of the earth, accepting the invitation to feast in God’s kingdom realm, while you are outside looking in.
30 And take note of this: Some are despised and viewed as the least important now, but one day the master will place them at the head of the line. And some whom you view as ‘elite’ today will become the least important then.”
FATHER will not look at your status in the world, HE will look at your works to determine how close to HIS Throne you will be allowed to access. Your righteous works will be the rewards and will be based on what you were given to work with. Don’t compare yourself to others for their “talents” are specific to their purpose given to them by OUR LORD. Strive to enter into HIS Rest.
Only those who obediently fulfill the conditions set down by the Father (obedience, faithfulness, and endurance) will be able to inherit the Kingdom from Heaven. And this will entail laboring, struggling, and striving. The “narrow” (strait) gate actually means a gate beset with difficulties.
