Chapter 1Everything God Created WasCreated To Solve A Problem.Creativity is the search for solutions.Let me illustrate. In large gatherings of the past, speakers couldnot be heard clearly. So, microphones and public address systemswere created. Eyeglasses were created for those who havedifficulty seeing.Problems are the catalysts for creativity. When an inventor—whether it is Thomas Edison or whomever—invents something,his creativity is based on an existing problem. He solves theproblem, and he is rewarded accordingly.Why did you buy your car? Because it solved a transportationproblem. Why do you watch the news each evening ontelevision? It solves an information problem.Mechanics solve car problems.Dentists solve tooth problems.Lawyers solve legal problems.Mothers solve emotional problems.Accountants solve tax problems.That is why God created us. God wanted a love relationship. Hewanted to be chosen, pursued, and treasured. So, He createdAdam and Eve.

But Adam had a problem: He needed human companionship."And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should bealone; I will make him an help meet for him. And the Lord Godcaused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he tookone of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And therib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman,and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now boneof my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman,because she was taken out of Man" (Genesis 2:18, 21-23). Yousee, each one of us is a solution.So, when you open your eyes every morning, you are lookinginto an entire world crammed with solutions. Everything createdis a solution.to somebody, somewhere, at some time.You are a solution to somebody.This means you are a reward to someone. Somebody needs you.Somebody wants you. You are necessary to somebody,somewhere.today.Read these powerful words: "Then the word of the Lord cameunto me, saying, Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee;and before thou earnest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee,and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations" (Jeremiah 1:4,5).You were created for a specific and very special purpose.tosolve a specific problem on earth. I call this, The Assignment.God is not a respecter of persons. He created Jeremiah for aspecial time and season and for a special people. It is the samewith you.God will assist you in your Assignment. "For thou shalt go to allthat I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shaltspeak. Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliverthee, saith the Lord" (Jeremiah 1:7,8).

So God created Eve to solve a problem for Adam. Then they bothhad a problem! Who would take care of them in their old age? So,God gave them children. "Lo, children are an heritage of theLord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are inthe hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy isthe man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not beashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate"(Psalm 127:3-5).You see, the wife is a solution to her husband. "Thy wife shall beas a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children likeolive plants round about thy table. Behold, that thus shall the manbe blessed that feareth the Lord" (Psalm 128:3,4).It is essential that you discover your Assignment and giveyourself totally to it. "Let every man abide in the same callingwherein he was called" (1 Corinthians 7:20).So, every part of you has an Assignment, a problem to solve.Your eyes have the Assignment of seeing. Your ears solve theproblem of hearing.Your eyes see.Your ears hear.Your hands reach.Your feet walk.Your mouth speaks.Your nose smells.So, everything in creation brings pleasure to God. "Thou artworthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for Thouhast created all things, and for Thy pleasure they are and werecreated" (Revelation 4:11).You see, everything God creates has a specific purpose. It solves

a problem.Your Assignment is to solve problems for those to whom you aresent.

Chapter 2You Are A Reward To SomeoneSomebody needs you.Moses was needed as a leader to the children of Israel. He wastheir reward.David was needed by the Israelites to defeat Goliath. He was areward to King Saul as well, when he defeated Goliath and routedthe Philistines.Naomi needed a caretaker. Ruth was a reward for her, and soloyal that her devotion was recorded in the Scriptures for peopleto read of throughout generations.The Jews would have been destroyed except for Esther. Estherwas their answer, their solution, their reward.Pharaoh desperately needed someone to interpret his dream.Joseph was a reward to him and subsequently to the people ofEgypt.Famine would have destroyed the Egyptians. Joseph was theirreward because he interpreted the message from God through thedream of Pharaoh.You see, everything God created is a reward to somebody.Think about this. It is very important that you grasp yoursignificance and value.Your patience is a reward for somebody that others would not

tolerate. Your words will motivate someone incapable of seeingwhat you see. It may be the mental, emotional, or spiritualqualities God has developed within you, but somebodydesperately needs you today.God planned you. Nobody else can be like you. Nobody else cando what you do. You are unlike anyone else on earth. Grasp this.Embrace it. God is not a duplicator. He is a Creator. You areabsolutely perfect and genetically accurate for solving a specificproblem for somebody on earth.Somebody needs exactly what you have been given by God.Somebody is hungry and thirsty for your presence. Somebodywill starve without you entering their life. Someone is literallydying, emotionally, mentally, or spiritually, waiting for you tocome along and rescue them. Somebody has been lying awake atnight praying that God would send you into their life.You are their reward.Now, it is important that you recognize that some people do notreally need you. You are not their answer. You are not theirsolution. Do not take offense at this. God has somebody elseplanned for them.You are not needed everywhere. You are only needed at a specificplace, at a specific time and for a specific person.Now, this person (or people) qualifies for your entrance into theirlife. They may not initially see you as being their reward, but youreally are. You are exactly what God has ordered for their life.Meditate on this truth. Taste it. Feel it.There Are 3 Important Keys To Remember Here:1. God Has Qualified You To Be A Perfect Solution To Someone.

2. It Is The Responsibility Of Others To Discern Your AssignmentTo Them. The Pharisees did not discern that Jesus was assignedto them, but Zacchaeus did, and the relationship was born. EvenPharaoh of Egypt, an unbeliever, discerned that Joseph was theanswer to his dream and dilemma. Thousands were sick andblind, but one cried out, "Jesus, Thou Son of David, have mercyon me" (see Mark 10:47).3. When You Discover To Whom You Have Been Assigned, YouWill Experience Great Peace, Fulfillment, And Provision ForYour Own Life.You must determine and know well the anointing and calling onyour own life. Stand strong, and stay linked to the Holy Spirit intotal dependency, and God will direct you.Look for opportunities to heal, strengthen, and bless others. Dogood every time it is possible. "Withhold not good from them towhom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it"(Proverbs 3:27).You are truly a gift and reward to those to whom you areassigned.

"Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered intothe heart of man, the things which God hath prepared forthem that love Him" (1 Corinthians 2:9).

Chapter 3Your Assignment Is Not YourDecision, But Your DiscoveryGod has specifically prepared events and situations for those wholove Him. "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have enteredinto the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared forthem that love Him" (1 Corinthians 2:9).You will only discern or discover those things, events, and yourAssignment by the Holy Spirit. "But God hath revealed them untous by His Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deepthings of God" (1 Corinthians 2:10).You must have the mind of Christ to discern your Assignment."For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that He may instructhim? But we have the mind of Christ" (1 Corinthians 2:16).Your gifts and skills were given to you by the Holy Spirit. "Nowthere are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. But all theseworketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every manseverally as He will" (1 Corinthians 12:4,11).Your gifts and skills are different from others around you."Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given tous, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportionof faith" (Romans 12:6).Your gifts are from the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, Who walksbeside you. "God also bearing them witness, both with signs andwonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost,
