Job Solutions

We often want to move to that next level in life yet many of us are not prepared to obey God’s Word or His voice when He speaks to us. For instance, you are so eager to be promoted as a line manager in your place of employment yet you refuse to obey the Word of God in your workplace. The Bible tells us in Romans 13: 1-2 that God places people in authority, for this reason if we dishonour our leaders by disobeying the guidelines which have been set for the smooth running of the organisation where you have been placed, we are dishonouring God. You want to be promoted or receive a pay rise meanwhile you are always late to work, you keep skiving off during working hours doing things you’re not supposed to do and not doing the things you’re actually being paid to do. How then do you expect to receive that promotion? Eventually, you start to blame it all on an enemy working things for your downfall or God not answering your prayers. Due to your initial desire to disobey your bosses, you begin to sow seeds of bearing false witness. If you’re confused, let me break this down:

1. You dishonoured your leaders in the workplace so you dishonoured God
2. Your act of disobedience caused you to miss out on your blessings. (When God blesses you, you are promoted, you are favoured, you are increased)
3. You missed out on your blessings therefore you became stagnant in your place of appointment.
4. Your stagnation makes you frustrated so you begin to tell your bosses lies about your colleagues in order to gain favour.

Those lies cause God to be even more displeased with you because in Exodus 20:16, God commands us not to give false testimony against our neighbours. In your workplace, your colleague is your neighbour because you are situated next to them. You therefore worsen your situation because disobedience comes with curses. Those lies you continually tell about your colleagues will sow seeds of curses in your life.

Dear reader, it’s time to start honouring God and honouring authority. It’s time to stop sowing seeds of discord in the workplace because sooner or later, those seeds of disobedience will bear fruits of curses.  Work hard, work with honour and God will surely show you favour if you trust him.

Take care and Stay blessed,
