Untitled

About a couple of months I was placed in a little dilemma. I was vigorously studying the word of God, I was writing and publishing new blogs on my blog site, but my work at my job was becoming dangerously behind. I literally heard the voice of God tell me, “take care of your job, if you get fired for negligence you are hindering the word and promise that I have spoke over your life. “ I really begin to realize that my work at my job needed to come first, and that I must study the Word of God at an appropriate time. When I begin focusing on my work, my relationship and study begin to slip, and I felt like God was not speaking to me clearly anymore, because I was not doing what I was supposed to be doing according to HIS WORD. A little after that I really could not conceive of a balance between my 2 vocations. I work 12-13 hours a day and try to help my wife out as much as I can, because we have 3 small kids. So timing was becoming a major issue. Depression was starting to creep in, because I was not working hard in my spiritual vocation. I say all this because God begin to break things down to me. God informed me that I placed you on that job, I called you to that vocation, and I gave you your wife and 3 kids. I would never give you something that you could not handle. God did want me to manage my time better, and not neglect anything he gave me. If I neglect what God has done for me, then I mess up the plans HE has for my life. After, understanding this concept I was able to finish and get caught back-up with my work. Now I feel that God wanted me to express to other people that remember the job you have God has placed you there for HIS glory. If you are not doing your job in excellence, then how can Christ get the glory through employment? This may not make much sense to some, but I feel that God has given me every job I have ever had, and God has had a purpose for those jobs. So if you feel that God is the reason you are working (and if you not working, and praying that God is the one that will open the door for employment), just remember that God has you there for a reason, and even a season. God planted you on that job, to see something grow in you that will be better for the Kingdom. If we are slack in our jobs, then we stunt the growth that God desires for us. DON’T GET WEARY, NOR SLACK ON YOUR JOB, YOUR JOB IS YOUR MEANS TO RECEIVING WAGES, AND YOUR JOB IS A TOOL THAT GOD IS USING TO MAKE YOU BETTER FOR HIS GLORY AND KINGDOM.
