In whatever field or sphere of influence a believer is in, we must stop thinking we can do what everyone is doing, that we can take every offer, seal every deal, take every shot, or act like everyone else. Because we can't. We are in this world but not of it, remember? We cannot keep walking into our classes, offices, online workspace, or workshops like we are normal. I'm not saying be lazy and complacent, praying and making a ruckus when you are supposed to put your head down and work so you would be excellent. I don't endorse being lazy in any form.
Christians should rather be cautious and wise because the marketplace/world is out for blood, literally. It wants to sip you of every spiritual essence, turn you into a robot, make you lose alignment and vision, and wear you out by making you go against our core beliefs, rules, and ideologies. It wants to make us a zombie, bereft of God, when we finally retire; a people without grit and dogged belief, malleable yet impotent. They want to turn our wine back to water, and it is your duty as a Christian to fight this, unapologetically.
So I turned down my first job, and I turned down my second. I flopped my third(I was to write about good witchcraft. Is there anything like good witchcraft?! Madness, I tell you!) and over three years, I've turned down many jobs, or skimmed over; erotica, billionaire series, supernatural. I don't write them, I don't read them, for my safety and sanity, I give myself boundaries in my work. I'm not foolish, I know where the money is, but I've laid up God's word in my heart that I might not sin against him, and I hope you do the same too, because the times we are stepping into ain't funny. It’s either you know God for yourself or you don't.
And this concludes my very long post. Thank you for sticking with me through this long read. Do have a productive work week.
