Wisdom Key: If we have not mastered the basic fundamental principles we will encounter much difficulty in the attempt to advance our careers.

For example, every professional sports team has a “drill day” that consists of basic fundamental exercises that serve as preparation for game day. This is a day concentrated on drills ONLY! The proper execution of these exercises makes room for learning and understanding through repetition. Practice makes permanent. ~ Unknown

If we are to advance through the career and personal planning department we must master the basics. This is accomplished by going through the process of basic training. There have been several individuals that have gone before us and trail-blazed a path for us to follow. Our responsibility is to remain in line and in sync with the foundational principles that have already been established.

A JOB can also be viewed as a position within a company or organization where we receive monetary compensation (not limited to paper money) in exchange of services and products. For example, anything that is deemed useful to a customer or consumer can be perceived as monetary compensation or money. Money in essence is merely an exchange of value that is deemed useful to a consumer or customer. The expression of money is not limited to coins or paper. So, if your job presents you with a fifty-dollar gift card as recognition for a year’s worth of service this can be considered as money though it is not is paper form. In addition, if you take it upon yourself to introduce a new policy (that you originated), this can be viewed as money if the policy is deemed useful to the organization.

USEFULNESS = EXCHANGES OR TRANSACTIONS.

Food for thought: A customer is an individual who stands in line to purchase a product, but a consumer is the individual who applies the product that has been purchased.

 

In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

                                                                                                                    – John 14:2  

For some….

A job and career is a reflection of their EGO. At times, we reject the heavenly image (knowingly and unknowingly) because we are preoccupied with an image (or illusion) that has been sold to us. Up until this point, we’ve built our entire lives according to a pattern that satisfied our heart’s desire. This house is small in comparison to what The Lord has predestined for our lives.

 This image or illusion is called, “BUSYNESS.”

The culture of America is dominated by busyness. The busyness that we observe in the natural is because we FEEL most productive when we are busy. As additional food for thought: The busyness that we observe in the natural is a deficit that can only be RE-SOLVED OR SETTLED in the spirit. We, The Body of Christ, must come into the realization that all debts have been settled. WE ARE NO LONGER DEBTORS TO THE FLESH!

Wisdom Key: Never allow your daily activities or duties to overshadow the purpose of your assignment (or job). When we refer to daily activities or duties, we are referring to THOUGHTS, ACTIONS AND RESULTS.  Realize that when you are sent into most regions (or workplaces) a strong scent of BUSYNESS will be prevalent.

Question: Is what we are doing who we are becoming in Christ? Or, is what we are doing who we are becoming in EGO or FLESH?

Career: The Expression of Who You are in Christ Jesus

 Values + Interests + Skills + Grace = Career

• Values (What I deem most important)
• Interests (What I enjoy doing)
• Skills (My Natural Ability to Properly Execute)
• Grace (God’s Ability to do What is Not Humanly Possible)
• Career (The Expression of Who You are in Christ Jesus)

The reason why some individuals don’t enjoy their line of work is because their line of work is not in alignment with who they are nor is it in line with who God has called them to become.

Food for thought # 1: If the most important prerequisite for your obtainment of a job (or assignment) is the salary or wage then you are in the job for the wrong reason.

Food for thought # 2: If the most important prerequisite for your obtainment of a job (or assignment) is how you feel or how the money or position makes you feel then you are in the job for the wrong reason.

 “If we attach our identities to any dollar amount, when and if that dollar amount changes the perception of who we are will indeed change.” ~ Marcus Cage

This is also true for entrepreneurs…

God has magnificently narrowed the path into the job market. By doing this, He has cut away the flesh better known as the desires or exploits of man. The arm of flesh has been broken and has been broken for quite a long time now.

GET IN WHERE YOU FIT IN… According to His plans and purposes for your life.

We’ve place entirely too much emphasis on the job, and the additives that come along with the obtainment of a job position and career. Additives: Title, prestige and monetary compensation. Additives preserve and make things SEEM MORE appealing. Additives can easily take the emphasis off of The Person that made the job position available to us. If we are not in tune with His Voice then we are in dire need of a tune up internally.

Wisdom Key: When we enter into ANY new relationship we give permission to CHANGE.

The question is, “Is our relationships with our employers superior to our relationship with Our Father?

Hmm….

God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.
