How to Work in A Hostile Environment- Bishop T.D. Jakes

Hi people,

Hope you have had a wonderful week, as I have.I'm still buzzin...

How many people are at work? Well Bishop T.D. Jakes once preached a sermon series on how to work in a hostile environment, have you ever watched it?

Well, here are the main points:

  1. Don’t expect to be appreciated. Your only expectation is to get a paycheck. Don’t come to work to have personal relationships. Don’t allow what you do to affect who you are.

  2. Do your mission well, but remember your mission. God put you there to be Salt and Light.

  3. Seek opportunities to change the atmosphere without commenting on the problems. You have a God to talk to. You are on assignment. In quietness and competence shall be your strength.

  4. Don’t let your environment get inside you. You should influence it, not let it influence you. Stop going to work to be fed; you didn’t come to receive, you came to give.

  5. Increase your capacity to work with different personalities. God will often bless you through people you don’t even like!

  6. Remember where you are does not define where you are going. This will deliver you from your frustration. God has a plan for your life. Keep your eye on the prize. When Peter did this he was able to walk on what other people sank in.

  7. Get the optimum results with minimum confusion. Be effective without making your environment worse.

  8. Do not be associated by a group or a clique. Labels limit your usefulness, God wants you to work with everybody and be labeled by nobody. Use all your gifts.

  9. Always keep your song near you. Keep a consecrated place in your soul. Hold on to your peace.

  10. Understand that God anoints you for trouble. Put on the whole armor of God.

  11. Be responsible for all your past mistakes, but use it to make a better future.

Now that you have the basic flow, hope you will be more productive in your place of work.

All the best!

Shalom.
