As I wrote earlier, the commandments are originally from T.D. Jakes but the discussions are my thoughts. Please enjoy as you read.
1st Commandment: Know That You Are Anointed For The Job or Position You Now Hold
Whether this is your first job or your last, God has anointed you and appointed you for the job. It doesn’t matter how your resumé got into the hands of the person that spoke for you .Take a few moments to think about how long it took you to get this job; about how this job has been a life saver for you; about how much fasting and prayers went into finding this job for you; about how many interviews you have attended and none yielded the desired fruit before God graciously decided to favour you and wipe away your tears with this job.
You probably lost your previous job with or without a fault of yours but God gave you another one. He gave you another chance. Take a few minutes to think about your former colleagues and classmates who are yet to find a job but you have one; think about those that you wrote the aptitude tests together, those that you attended the same interviews together, those that you even received the appointment letter together but for one unpleasant reason or the other they couldn’t start the job with you. Think about running your family without having a job. Think about the things you can afford because you have a job. Stop reading for a moment and thank God for this miracle.
Then you should know that your job is a miracle. It is a miracle because of two things: God answered your prayers and He anointed you for the job. To be anointed is to be divinely empowered. God’s divine power is in you. He has specially anointed you for this job. A miracle is a purposeful divine empowerment. A miracle is God’s monopoly. God has a reason for answering your prayers and wiping your tears with this job. His purpose is obviously not for you to engage in anything that doesn’t glorify Him in your workplace even if you call it a mere joke. He placed you where you are now because He loves you and He needs you to serve Him there.
Knowing and accepting that you are anointed for the position you presently hold simply means trusting that you are on a journey and that there is something you need to learn and take with you from your present position into your next stop along the way. And I ‘m convinced that these lessons are both skill-building as well as character-building.
You may need to learn skills such as Presentation Skills and ACCA as well as patience and gratitude. You may need to learn how to manage a team of people as well as how to manage your temper.
In all you do always remember that God allowed you to be on this job till now because he needs you to give your best and learn as much as you can.
Have a very nice day.
