THANK GOD ITS MONDAY (TGIM) Podcast artwork

Work can be very stressful because we approach it as a Godless endeavour. Yet God didn't just create work He is a worker. Work is not cursed it's a blessing and it was given to us as a platform for expressing our God given gifts and talents and the fulfilment of His creation mandate. To contrast ordinary work as secular or temporal and evangelistic work as sacred or eternal is an unbiblical dualism that runs against both the creation and the discipleship mandates. If you have had the experience of stepping onto a train in London you may be accustomed to the ritualistic incantation of the words ‘Mind the Gap’ warning you not to fall between the platform and train. This is an apt analogy for the gap between Sunday and Monday or the Church and the marketplace. TGIM is here to bridge that gap and help you connect your Sunday faith to your Monday work week.

Research suggests that when jobs provide

Focus

A better way to compete

Workplace competition is a common thing. Man is a competitive being, often desiring to outdo one's self and others.

Spirit-filled work

May 09 2021 8 mins

The Holy Spirit can help you with your work. It's interesting and instructive to note that the first person mentioned in scriptures as being filled with the Spirit was not a prophet, pastor, or missionary, he was a craftsman and was filled with the spirit within the context of accomplishing his work. We too can engage the supernatural help of God to do our work with ease and excell
