You need a mission in life otherwise you will be unfulfilled, useless to other people, and a negative drain on your family, friends, and society. People without a godly mission tend to display negativity, depression, needy personalities, and slothfulness. Other people who have taken on missions that have not been given and guided by Almighty God pursue things and experience earthly success and praise from man but on Judgment Day God will not recognize them as successful until they accept Him as Savior. They have the wrong mission because they do not first seek God’s glory in what they do and the skill they display and the people they help. Upon turning to Him the Holy Spirit will change their hearts and progressively change the priorities and actions.
God wants us to understand that the Great Commission is the right mission and in pursuing it we must follow the great commandment as a united body of believers by preaching the gospel to every person using an abundant portion of our voices, lives, money, time, and other resources. You should ask God to show you His long-range vision and short-term goals that you can employ in order to fulfill His mission: specifically your part of it.
It will take continual planning to reach your goals, achieve your vision, and fulfill your mission. If you don't write your plan out on a medium that you can frequently re-read and periodically adjust (such as a computer), specific components will be lost to your memory overtime and you will fail to do all that you should do in leading other people to Jesus Christ and giving Him glory.
Research has shown that people who keep their vision and goals before them on paper achieve much more than those who plan only in their heads and way more than those who don't plan at all. If you don't currently know what your specific vision and goals should be, start or keep developing a daily praise, worship, and prayer relationship with the Lord, keep serving in your local church, and keep learning and disciplining yourself to manage money properly. In this way, you will please the heart of God by drawing closer to Him and you can support God’s church and build His kingdom in the hearts of men, women, and children by funding the gospel through tithes and offerings and physically helping other believers minister to the huddled masses.
Satan is continually trying to blind and lead sinners and Christians down into the pit of Hell, so he and the fallen angels won’t be so lonely there. However, as you get busy working on the mission identified in the bible through someone else’s vision and goals (your local church pastor), in due time God will show you and other church leaders specifically what He has called you to do. Then, He will help you plan and set goals to pursue what is important to His heart and your posterity and prosperity.
