Many people have complained that no one is hiring and that as hard as they’ve tried they cannot find a job or a better job. I’m very empathetic toward them because I understand the economy goes through cycles of high unemployment at times and people need income to be able to provide for themselves and their families. However, I’m always optimistic because the LORD always makes a way where there seems to be no way.
People share how they’ve applied at a few places and haven’t received return calls offering them jobs. A few tell me they’ve sent out a few resumes and have not received responses from employers. However, it seems some of them have not followed a few important principles and methods for creating income in their lives.
1) They often speak negatively about their outlook, current and past employers, and the economy. Thus, they tend to have only rotten stuff produced by the fruit of their lips. Negative thinking, complaining, and murmuring will not get your situation back on track when you are in a poor personal economic cycle.
2) They do not recognize the gifts, talents, skills, and abilities they are endowed with. Some they have used in the past and some are latent. But, they only look to employers for opportunities to make money instead of finding ways to be their own boss and start making money on their own.
3) They fail to look for a job like it’s a job.
4) They fail to stop the flow of spending they engaged when they were employed and have not set proper priorities for funds they have access to while unemployed. Some engage in habits that unnecessarily siphon off lots of money like smoking, drinking, gambling, shopaholic spending, eating out, daily expensive treats, etc. more comfortably through the period of unemployment they are experiencing.
5) They fail to recognize that blessings often come in small packages before they will experience the much larger rewards. Do not despise the day of small beginnings just because you were on a larger stage previously and would like to continue in that stature.
You must remember that your actual worth and stature is not based on the position, notoriety, fame, or income you have or had in the past. It is based on being a creation of God almighty and should be augmented by your born-again relationship with Jesus Christ. If you continue to pursue entrepreneurial opportunities door-to-door and business-to-business if necessary and submit applications and contact employers on a consistent basis several hours each day you will begin to gain traction and bring income in that will help you move more comfortably through this period of unemployment and season where your skills can be better utilized.
Please pray for this ministry and email me with any questions. May the LORD bless you richly as you follow His plan!
