"The promise of God for today is that if he asks something of us, he will also give us the ability to carry out the work that he has called us to. The Spirit of God will give you the wisdom needed to deal with problems whether they are logistical or interpersonal in nature."
On Wednesday evening, May 6, the WeChat account named "Life of Northeast China Theological Seminary" launched a live broadcast with a lecture about how to win in the workplace.
In this first episode, Pastor Zhang Zhongqiu was invited to give a sermon on the theme entitled "The Workplace as Seen through Biblical characters," based on Joshua 1: 1-9. From the time Joshua became the leader of a new generation of Israelis, he guided the people to see God at work where they lived and worked and to rely on God to be strong and courageous.
The live broadcast shared three main points:
"Believe in the promise of God; be strong and courageous."
First of all, he pointed out that God will definitely give each of us work. When God gives you a position, he will be fully responsible for you, and he also gives us enough wisdom and ability to complete the work. The Spirit of God will fill us. When limited people are filled with the infinite Holy Spirit, the power of God is manifested. And as Christians, we must do our work to best of our ability so we may glorify God.
"Learn and obey God's law; we can be strong and courageous."
Pastor Zhang said that Joshua had to learn God's law in order to know how to deal with civil and administrative issues and carry out things in accordance with the laws and regulations. Joshua also needed to nourish his own spiritual life through God's words, which would help him to be strong and brave. And we also should obey God’s will. We should think about his words and digest them so they will be a part of our lives so that we can obey.
"Listen to God's instructions; be strong and courageous."
Pastor Zhang proposed that when Joshua heard God say three times that he should be strong and courageous, he was not afraid. He grew in strength and began to solve the internal problems of the people. When fear reigns in our hearts, we can’t go out. If we are ruled by an enemy who is camped all around us, we should not be afraid. Today if we turn to God, we will be able to control the environment we are in. The spirit of God comes by his words to strengthen us so that we can fear no more. And through God, we are able to prevail no matter the environment in which we find ourselves.
The pastor concluded by saying that no matter what difficulties we have, whether we are going to be employed, or if we are already employed, or facing a new position, or being a housewife at home, no matter what, please don’t let your first reaction be fear. You should be strong and courageous, always relying on God.
得胜职场：从圣经人物谈职场处境 “今天神应许给我们工作，应许给我们一些工作的职位，他一定会给你在职位上相应的能力，神的灵一定给你在这个职位上的工作无论是技术上，还有人际关系上的，神都给你们智慧处理这些问题”。 5月6日周三晚，微信公众平台“东神生活”首发了一档关于得胜职场的直播节目。在这第一期节目当中，受邀牧者张忠秋围绕约书亚记1章1-9节分享了《从圣经人物谈职场处境》，从约书亚就职担任新一代以色列人的领袖，引导基督徒在职场看到神的作为，依靠神刚强壮胆。 此次直播主要从3个方面进行了分享： “信神的应许，刚强壮胆。” 首先，他指出，神一定会给我们每一个人工作单位，并且神给你职务，会完全负责任，也赐给我们足够的智慧和能力完成工作。并且神的灵会充满我们，当我们有限的人被无限的圣灵充满的时候，彰显神的能力。而我们作为基督徒要带着追求卓越的心，把工作做得精彩，杰出，荣耀神。 “遵行和学习神的律法，刚强壮胆” 接着，他说到，约书亚要学习神的律法，才能知道如何按照律例典章处理民事问题、行政问题，并且用神的话滋养他的属灵生命，让他刚强壮胆。 而我们如果要立志遵行神的话，就要思想他的话，要把道消化在我们生命当中，才能遵行神的道。 “听神的吩咐，刚强壮胆” 他提出，约书亚听到神三次说要刚强壮胆，就不怕了，刚强起来，解决内部问题了。当我们被惧怕控制住的时候，很难出去，被仇敌辖制，有坚固营垒，但今天我们要转向神，就能刚强壮胆地吞吃这个环境，驾驭这个环境；神的灵借着他的话来刚强我们，使不要再惧怕，靠着神胜过这环境。 最后他说：无论我们有各样的难处，无论我们是要就业的，还是已经就业的，还是面临新的职位的，还是在家里边做家庭主妇，无论什么事情，请你先不要惧怕，你要刚强壮胆。 http://www.gospeltimes.cn/article/index/id/52047
