Which of the following is not mentioned in the Bible?
Midwife; civil servant; fashion designer; property developer; carer; musician; teacher; politician; church leader; carpenter?
Well of course, it is a trick question – all are mentioned. Work is part of God’s Kingdom, not an add-on. God does not have opening hours and is present in all situations – that includes the workplace! If then God has called us to the world of work, He also calls us to give Christian witness in our respective workplaces, living out the values of Christianity. There is no sacred/secular divide!
Question:
What is God calling you to do where you work? Stop for a moment to pray and ask Him. Why not get a journal and write down what He tells you the thoughts that come to mind as you sit a listen.
Transform Work believes that the most effective Christian workplace witness takes place through Christian Workplace Groups. These Groups are being established all over the UK and are a real help to Christians, other employees and the organisation. They come in all shapes and sizes. Some are small with just a few Christians meeting and praying; others are very large groups in national and international organisations, playing a major part in the policy development and day-to-day activities in those organisations. It doesn’t matter that they are different. They are all part of God’s Plan.
Question:
Is God calling you to set up or get involved in a Christian Workplace Group in your organisation? Perhaps you can stop again for a moment and ask the Lord right now if he is calling you into this ministry. Again, write down what you feel He is saying to you.
