Why You Should Leave Your Job

Joshua Singh • Jun 10, 2019
I recently left my well-paying job to attend to my business and church full-time. I contemplated and tried to stall this process but sooner or later I had to do it. The corporate knowledge I've gathered in the last couple years of work has definitely shaped me positively and I'd like to thank everybody who's played their part. In this post I want to point out two reasons why I left and my outlook on life which I hope inspires you. (By the way this post isn't to tell you to leave your current job, but to think about where you're at in life.)

I won't get back today

Let's say an average human life is 80 years, if you're over 20, unfortunately there are 21,900 days left. I'm only 24 once and everyday counts for me. I won't get to relive today and being assertive about where I'm going is absolutely crucial. Every minute is important to me and I'd like to encourage everyone to think like this because time is not on your side. If you want to do something in life, set out a plan of steps you need to take and don't get distracted. Some folk are not happy with where they're at with life, job or relationship... and it's purely because they decide to sit and expect things to change for them. If you don’t like where you are at, CHANGE. If you're around the age of 15-24, explore, explore and explore as sitting on social media scrolling your news feed will not create the life you dream about.

Living Risky is Better Than Living Safe

I know people who have worked a 9-5 job at the same company for 45 years, I truly appreciate their dedication to their work place, (side note: For those of you in this place in your life, you're already happy with where you are, fulfilling your potential and not requiring change - that's OK! This post is written to challenge those who are not satisfied and know deep down there are better options) but being in one place will only take you so far...and yes experience matters but it isn't everything. When you're challenged, put on the spot and on the verge to taking that leap of faith you'll quickly discover what was always inside you. If you decide to live a safe life that's ok and don't want to take big risks decide to take small risks and see how far you can go.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did." - Mark Twain

Many live in the safe zone, in comfort, in complacency, talking themselves out of potential possibilities. But if you're going to sit back and watch your life pass by, you will not discover who you can become and the impact you can make in your world.

The term ministry is understood and interpreted differently by many people in the kingdom. So don’t go into ministry to be personally famous or because you are ambitious. Go into ministry because you know God has called you. As I write my thesis and near its completion, I wanted to share my thoughts so far on my journey. It’s been delightful to be a part of a wonderful church and to walk through the process of becoming who God is calling me to be. The call to ministry is a call to equip and empower the people of God for a unique purpose, and expansion of the kingdom. Here are three ideas I have learnt so far in the last couple of months Embrace Process In a generation of instant gratification, ‘process’ is a word that is completely overlooked and undermined. God has clearly been showing me the power of process and how significant it is to the development of a man or woman of God. I would encourage every young person not to rush the process but to work on the character. Running away from process delays your appointed time. Don’t focus on being a big minister, focus on being an effective minister. Prophetic words are an indication of where God may want to take you, but ask God to show you his process and a path. The ‘process’ is a season to develop intimacy and become conversational with God, learning his ways. The process develops your dependency on the Holy Spirit. The process eliminates junk Eliminate Pride If you go into ministry desiring a platform to preach you might not last because the foundation is weak. Pride is a subtle tactic of the enemy. Offence deals with pride Offence tests the condition of your heart Offences will affect your intimacy with God Preachers, teachers, elders, leaders, whoever you are: God tests your heart through the offence! And if you’ve been in church long enough you’ll know that one of the major reasons for people leaving the church is an undealt offence. I think if you’re going to eliminate pride, you need to be processing every offence out of your life or else it becomes a future trap for the enemy to use against you. I love Jesus, He had such a big heart that offence had no room. Extreme Passion If you are in ministry, in order to last you need to have a passion for people. God’s heart is for his children and if there is no passion to see people succeed and to see them fulfilling their purpose then you might just have a career and not a calling. I know today that there are many in ministry that are not serving for people but for a paycheck. One of the things I have reminded myself constantly is that God’s work really matters and that I have ability to influence whether people will be with God or away from God, for eternity. This article is written for the purpose of helping young people thinking to join the ministry or already in ministry so that they keep the focus on Jesus.

Every human being is a spirit man that has a soul that lives in a body. God uses all three parts to build his kingdom. When you’re saved your spirit man is justified before God. In other words, God sees you through the eyes of Jesus as you stand in his righteousness. However, as you come into the kingdom, one intention of the Holy Spirit is to regenerate your SOUL and take you in the journey of sanctification. Sanctification is the process of being purified and processed so that you can produce more fruit for God. My article is not so much about the spirit man, it’s about your soul. I truly believe in the power of the soul and it’s impact on a persons life when it is healthy. The soul is made up of mind, will and emotions. Sanctification is a LIFE LONG PROCESS…. Please never think that when you are saved you will never have pride Or that you will never be offended or hurt, or attacked…. No. I believe many reading this may have been hurt in the past through unmet expectations, broken relationships, a divorce, an undealt offence, or have buried it rather than dealt with it. I want to highlight how offence continues to work in the soul if it not processed. Person A says something to Person B that hurts the heart. Person B can do three things 1 – Go into isolation, bury the issue, never talk openly to a wise person 2 – Go to the Pastor or leader to complain 3 – Go to Person A and restore, reconcile the relationship and move on Most people do 1 and 2 but do not openly go to the person who has hurt them and talk about what the issue is. If you do not deal with the root of offence you live a very unfulfilled life and your perception of people may alter over time. I know some great people with potential that have snuffed out God’s dreams for their life simply because they hold onto things of the past. Do you realise that if Person B is holding grudges and refuses to let go of past wrongs; this type of emotional wound is yoked to a spirit of bitterness and infirmity that can manifest in various crippling illnesses? Do you realise that God is calling you to live in freedom? Friend, my encouragement to you is simple. Dealing with your offended spirit requires you to go and make peace with the person and admit that you’re hurt and reconcile as soon as you can. Pursue peace with all men, and the holiness without which no one will see the Lord, watching diligently so that no one falls short of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness spring up to cause trouble, and many become defiled by it. — Hebrews 12:14 – 15 P.S Don’t post your hurts on Facebook. Prayer for Offense Thank You, Lord, that I walk in love. You said in 1 Corinthians 13 that love is patient and kind. I confess that I am patient with others and I am kind. I do not keep track of wrongs. I do not hold grudges. I am free from offense. I break the power of offense off my life in the name of Jesus. I choose to walk in forgiveness toward others. I choose to release all pain and wounds. Father, I thank You for Your nature, Your love, and Your mercy operating in me toward others. I release all hurts, and I declare Your love is washing over me now in Jesus’s name.
