Recently I’ve had the privilege of
speaking with many individuals regarding their places of employment. Instead of hearing about the joy of their
work experiences, I have been stunned by the pervasive spirit that hovers over
many during this dispensation of time. To
put it bluntly…they hate their jobs!
Most are miserable – terribly miserable. And yet they remain in those positions
basically prostituting themselves for the mighty dollar.
Purpose is Your Work, and Work is Your Worship!

If
by any chance you are one of those in the category of most, please don’t get offended and refuse to read the remaining
portions of this blog. The Truth is, God
NEVER intended for you to be miserable and unhappy in your places of
employment. Your place of employment is
designed by God to be your place of prosperity where you would experience the wonderful
opportunity to re-present Him – The King. Everything we do should give glory and honor
to The King we re-present. Therefore, in
an effort to re-present Him well, I don’t believe miserable and unhappy should
be descriptions of our experiences simply because those descriptions are
totally contrary to the Nature of God Himself.
According
to Dr. Myles Munroe is his book The
Purpose and Power of Authority – Discovering the Power of Your Personal Domain,
he states that the very areas that most people recognize as their hobbies is actually the very place of
their prosperity. This is the place
where they are called, chosen, and ordained to operate effortlessly and enjoy
the bountiful fruits of their work.
Being
able to enjoy one’s work is truly a Gift from God.[i] Therefore, in this
Holiday Season, give yourself one of the most monumental gifts of all time – rediscover
your purpose and get to W.O.R.K.! I’m
not telling you to quit your job – your temporary place of just over broke;
however, at least begin your search for the Truth of You and start getting paid
for what you would do for free. It will
be worth your time, worth your energy, and worth the compensation. For it is that very place where you will find
your prosperity – wholeness, completeness, and peace!
