I just started working in a part time job this Monday, PTL.
I got this job out of a divine instruction from God. I acted upon a prompting from the Holy Spirit, and emailed the employer to ask for an opportunity to volunteer in his learning centers, and he hired me instead.
I have worked for totally 14 hours so far – on two mathematics assignments, which I found to be tedious soon.
Tonight, I thought: “I can’t go on like this for too long, because the end of the world might approach anytime – possibly very soon – and my most important calling is to pastor the church; Many souls are falling into hell by the second, but here I am, spending so much time on the math, which I will have an eternity to study for.”
On earth, while I am still alive, I don’t have that much time for things other than my calling.
26 For 2you see your calling, brethren, nthat not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many 3noble, are called. 27 But oGod has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; 28 and the 4base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, 29 that no flesh should glory in His presence. 1 Cor 1:26-29
According to the flesh, I am an incomeless blogger who has to work as a tutor to provide for myself.
I wish I am more noble by now. For the last 10 years as a Christian, I sure wished I could become a noble tool for God, but somehow I still relied on my flesh. As a result, my achievements are very limited, far and in between. I am yet to graduate from the “school of faith”, which means, I still need work toward living by faith more, rather than living by my fleshly strength.
I sensed that, had I mastered the art of living by faith more, by now I could have achieved a thousand times more than I have done in the past! I am not exaggerating here.
I just talked to one of my best friends on the phone, and he is the most successful person I know. Tomorrow I will talk to him on the phone again, and I will ask him if this is how he exactly achieved what he has achieved. My friend followed his calling faithfully, and he is ultra successful.
I think God told me tonight that I can’t go with my tutor job like a common man, but as a spiritual person, who follows heavenly strategy and directives in my earthly work. Just like Gideon. He encouraged me to converse with His Spirit like we are close friends working side by side at work.
Career has always been traumatic for me. I lacked confidence in this area. I have always been praying about this, especially while at work, but prayers alone didn’t work the way I wanted. I wondered if this was because I still lacked for an important lesson, which was what God was telling me tonight. If this prove to be the final key lesson I needed to excel at work, I believe I will soar in career very shortly.
I really don’t think I have any more time to waste like I did in the past ten years. I hope God finally see it fits to use me to the full capacity.
