 Right. Good morning everyone. Good morning to our students here and those online as well Okay, let's begin this time with a word of prayer and then we'll get into our teaching for today One of us can please lead any one of us Go ahead, Nikhil Father we thank you for this day for this time Lord. We are here to learn new word, but I thank you What's it for Lord? So whatever we are going to learn for them You teach us you guide us and you lead us for them. Give us knowledge Understanding that we cannot we can learn deeply your word. Thank you father. Thank you so much in Jesus name. I pray amen Amen. Amen. All right, so We completed our chapter one last class. We looked at personal vision and purpose so some of the points that we looked at was You were made for a purpose. So we need to discover it walking at foundation What we build on really matters. So what you do now will be like a good foundation as you grow up So now we're not talking only about ministry, right? So we need to step out in our mind We need to think okay, even professionally personally and Spiritually as well, right? Thirdly Your personal priorities are your foundations very important be clear of your non-negotiables Right non-negotiables are these are things I will not do these are things I will do no matter what right that's non-negotiables and Develop a life plan review it continuously. We looked at You know the life of Abraham the person that God called him to be the place that he will be now the place could be a physical Place or it could be even a position and then the purpose for which God has called you for so let's get into chapter 2 Which is career plan? right now Especially when we are young right when we when we are probably Finishing your college at 22 20 21 or 22 at that age We begin to think about our career, right? What do we want to be or what what line of? you know what line of education or work that I should take right and Planning for your career is very important now We need to understand that okay. We can say okay ministry. I want to be in ministry And ministry is a whole big thing you can use the five-fold ministry. There are many areas and ministry But remember that God has not gifted all of us Graced all of us to be in full-time ministry, right? Now again, I'm saying full-time ministry just for us to understand there is no full-time and part-time ministry, right? And and so having a life plan having a plan for my okay This is what I want to be it could be a doctor engineer entrepreneur You know anything whatever you want to be your life plan Includes your spiritual life personal health education profession Finances family and ministry Now know your grace your gifts and your skills all of us have been You know God has given us certain. He has graced us and gifted us Right, so there is a certain grace in each of our lives There's a certain kind of lifting that God gives each one of us. So for example, it's just an example Mother Teresa she has a grace for what? To serve people no No, I don't know if you've been in a you know colony where lepers live. Have you been? Haven't been okay The moment you enter the road, you'll get the smell Yeah, it is Offensive you can do all high-end cleaning All these high-end companies will not go Because it is it is such an offensive smell. Now when you look at Mother Teresa And when she when I'm going there nursing wounds of lepers, it is nothing but the grace of God It is not her ability. It's the grace of God the same way. There are people who God Graces he gives us a certain grace in our life. So there are some of them who can Speak well some of them who can listen well some of them have the wisdom to just know Okay, I should do this So God gives a certain grace and along with that grace. He gives certain gifts Right, and we all have gifts, right? We have we can sing we can Talk we can dance we can all of us have gifts and so the grace and the gift go together Because of God's grace I Can use the gift that God has given me Right, it's was not it's not all the other way around I have a gift And so then I'll use the gift and then ask for God's grace. No, I say God It is your grace and so I'm gonna use the gift that you have given me, right? Grace is God's empowering on our lives Gives our abilities that we discover When we are able to spontaneously and almost naturally do things It's it's a natural thing, right? So Let me give you this example We had a team called the connect team This is many years ago. I think 20 10 non words 20 10. Yes We had a connect team now. How did this team start? There was one or two of them at church and they were extremely you know People oriented person, right? They would like to go talk to people. That's all their gift is Right. They'd like to talk to people So they came up with an idea. Hey, let's form a team So when new people come in Or even regular church folks come in We will go and connect with them All you have all we have to do is talk to them make them feel comfortable So remember the first sunday that I came to church Those two guys they came straight to me. They said, hey, thank you for coming and they really feel so comfortable Again new people in the church Now it was a gift this guy at church Young man, right? You may probably in his early 20s. He knew his gift. He said I know how to talk to people So let me use this gift and he started connecting Right and this team would meet with new people would Form new teams within the church And it became very strong very close knit team So that way all of us God has gifted us and graced us with a gift Now it's not necessary that every gift is on the pulpit or on the stage Or something that people will see and you know clap Not necessary The gift can be something very simple very small Not many people can notice it, but it's okay And it is something that you're doing for God It is God's grace over your life Right, so as we faithfully operate in our areas of grace Exercise our gifts and skills we grow in this And the more we exercise our gifts the more the grace increases So the question is what if I don't exercise the gift? Will the grace increase? If if God has gifted me if I don't use it the grace is just going to be there Right, so God is calling us when I'm gifted you use it So that the grace can increase right so that can be Any area of our life right now explore opportunities Get input and draw up a plan right Proverbs 11 14 would anyone like to read that Proverbs 11 14 There there is no council the people fail but in the multitude of counselors there is safety Yes, where there is no council People fail but in the multitude of counselors there is safety now Even as we explore opportunities and things that happen in our life It's very important to to be able to come to a place of getting counsel godly counsel all through the book of Proverbs we talk we see about godly counsel. What does uh Solomon do and what does David David also does that? Most of them in the Old Testament did that as they were passing on they would call their children Give them words of wisdom bless them And they would pass away right it was it was a place of saying okay Whatever I've learned I'm sharing it with you you take it you apply it so As we begin to explore opportunities remember that Everything that we have the gifts and the grace is not only for monetary rewards That god gives us so when god has given us a gift or a grace It's not that we bring all of this gift and grace only to make money out of it Gifts and grace are given to also bless people That's the main reason that it's given and out of that Right monetary rewards maybe after some time, but what is the the main purpose? Of gifts and grace that god gives us It is to bless people to bless the kingdom of god to bring people to the kingdom of god, right? So there may be some of us, you know, we we have a hobby And you know nowadays everything is online your hobby can be turned into a profession Right, so think if you feel that's what god is leading you towards nothing wrong Right, but what's the point? I'm trying to make In our mind the gift the grace that god has given me I'm going to use it to bless people And it should not be only for monetary benefits Right remember what the bible says You know Money is a root of all evil Right, so if I keep thinking about it I'll forget about my grace and my gift and what god has given in my life. I really think of it as Okay, let me how can I earn more? How can I do more? There's nothing wrong? Right, but it's the root In our heart that we should guard our heart in the right way Right, so without plans, sorry without council probably 15 22 without council plans go ory But in the multitude of counselors They are established So get counsel I remember when My early days and I joined I wouldn't let my teachers go I make them sit You only when they have a meeting or something they'll say I have a meeting or make them sit I'll ask them what about this? What about that? What about this? And they would very You know very patiently sit and answer there were times I'll write an email I'll say I want to meet I'll sit one and a half hours two hours with them It could be silly questions But I wanted to know I wanted to know okay, if I do it this way, what will happen if I do the other way? What will happen? Right and thank god now. I'm not saying Yeah, for example, if you had in the corporate sector, we may not have people who will sit with us for You know one one and a half hours and two hours, but get counsel Learn from people Ask them for advice. Okay. What should I do? Right. One of the things I did was When I was almost completing my course I you know, I began I was always in touch with my Managers in my workplace and began to ask them. What can I do? What are the changes because it's two years now? Right two years out of it. I've been in bible college So I remember saying just asking him. What can I do to improve to come back see now? I'm two years behind Right. So all I'm doing in bible colleges Singing and playing guitar Now in the corporate sector, I'm two years behind. I don't know what's happened for two years. So I said, okay Let me know what all I should learn There are certain skills that I have to upgrade. Let me know And so it's very important to get counsel from people Right, especially people who are, you know up there. They've gone through life they've gone through seasons When we get counsel, we establish our paths We'll know. Okay. We can should I should I take this should I not take this? But even with counsel we may fail right? We may fall. We may go through seasons But don't be weary Because all leaders all of them right go through seasons and life So we should be willing to go through that as well Right. So for example I remember this long time back Happened this man elderly gentleman. He came up to me and he said Uh, this is he's not from our church, but he came up to me and he said I'm going through a very difficult problem And now I don't have a home. I said, hey, you have a home. I know I know that he had a home So I said, what happened? Why are you saying that you know, he said I started wanted to start my own business So what I did was I went I sold my home Put 50% of it in the business And the other 50% are used for other things So I'm left with about not 50 but 25% so I'm left with 25% of what I have Without a home and this 25% will last me for maybe one or two years. That's it After that, I don't know what I do So he said Well, I don't know what to do Right now now that this is not the right time to tell him you did a big mistake Uh, but you know when we don't Get suggestions so we don't explore and ask people for opinions and advice and counsel We may end up doing the wrong thing That's why I remember telling him, you know, just go back see how you can, you know, literally whatever you have lost But first things first, you need a home Because he had a wife. He had children And he didn't know what to do So without wisdom without counsel. Is it wise? Uh, I don't know according to me. It may not be wise Uh, but we need to think and do what we're doing. So here comes a part of godly counsel Counsel enables us to make the right decisions, right? So remember life is lived in stages Uh with transitions and those stages we can move from one stage to another Transitions you need to recognize the season you're in And go along with it Right. Don't be afraid for change You know as as people we don't like change. Yes right But it's good Remember that god works in seasons All through the scriptures when we read when god, you know, when god used people when he Chose people He took them through seasons Right. There was not I don't think there was even one person where everything was smooth And then they fulfilled the purpose of life There's I think nobody There are stages that are seasons And each season we must be willing to adapt grow learn And remember that the grace of god is with with each of us We need to recognize the season we are in and do what needs to be done in that season right so I remember in 2010 29 or 2010 I knew That I want to preach I just knew it But I knew that that was not my season All right, so I kept telling myself I used to take a paper and I still write down 10 years from now One two three four five. These are the things I should be doing But I wrote it down and I put it on the World Cup board every day. I see it One of them was prepare my own sermons and preach Right, so now the plan is put Who's going to prepare the sermon? The angel is not going to come and tell me to prepare. I have to prepare it So I began to read the word Began to prepare sermons Who's going to preach it? I have to preach it So sat in front of mirror Preach it now Initially it looked foolish Right, it looked like oh man. Why why is it? Why am I doing this? It's not making sense But remember that when god is calling you see it says here the season remember the season you're in and Work towards that season Be faithful in that season. So When the moment I got the opportunity Right, I knew okay season has changed Tell you how it happened It's wonderful how god works um I was leading worship at locations and What happened was there was a youth conference A youth meeting. I don't remember what the conference or a meeting youth conference everyone had gone Gone away from Bangalore and they were at the youth conference And suddenly I got this opportunity to preach First time I said oh man Maybe this is the season Oh the season of putting chairs and cleaning those chairs is over I felt that way. So next day. So then I prepared I preached my heart out Right, I didn't do well at all. Okay, but I preached And then I realized that hey, there's so much It's different to preach under the mirror and different to preach under the crowd There was oh man I need to learn so much All right, so go back Prepare learn and and so that season of You know just uh doing these smaller tasks is over So I knew okay now I need to get to the next level then another level. So So as you and I prepare our plans See right now you all are sitting here There'll come a time you won't be sitting Right, they'll come into those online as well. There'll come a time when you will have to step out You'll be given the mic And you will have to preach Right, and you'll have to do what god has called you to do So this season of sitting and listening will go Almost done one more year, right So the season you're in right now Take what god has given you the grace the gifts the calling the anointing use it Prepare for the season that you're going to be in after this next year right Next point get started pray Listen and step out Proverbs 13 for the soul of a lazy man desires and has nothing But the soul of the diligent Shall be made rich Sometimes, you know, we we do all the preparatory work of praying listening to god planning, but We never get started Yeah, I'm sure you heard that saying right the journey of a thousand miles is starts with a One step Oh, I want to go a thousand miles Very good Good vision, but Take the first step Right, so if you desire you plan and dream, but don't act on it. We will accomplish nothing Right, we'll accomplish nothing. You've got to step out Do right work the plan Right and and as we start Stepping out we start developing our skills God will give us the opportunities God is not going to open a door when he doesn't see Us acting in faith On sunday yesterday, what did we talk about? Acting out our faith, right if if we have the faith. Hey, I have faith that one day I will start my own business wonderful Got to put it in plan I have 25 30, but that's still on paper 35. It's still on paper 40. It's still on paper. What's happening You have the plan But we're not stepping out Get started. We need to pray listen to god and step up right I give you this example in 2018 when I had I had I had a dream and in that dream I think I've shared this before In the dream, you know, I knew that so 2018 was almost eight seven years that I've been working and I knew I knew That this season is there's a change. I just knew it right something is going to change in my life I knew that Something is going to change. I just knew it in my heart. So I remember I just went to work office like a regular day and then Pastor had called me in and he said there's an opportunity to build a church in mangalore Right. So church in mangalore is about 15 people Paul Would you be willing to go? now Was it a was it something that's easy? for me in my mind I didn't think about the children. I didn't think about anything. I said, yes right there Because I knew that god already prepared me for a change The change is already there in my mind. I was ready for it So when and I was asked about it. I said yes, but now after saying yes, there were so many things to get done Right moving to mangalore children children were very small Very small Okay, getting a place there so much of practical work to get done All right, and we went there the church was still small. There was no structure in the church We had to start from zero, but we enjoyed it But but one thing is I knew that this is what god wanted me to do. I knew after four years God spoke to me and said I'm going to take you back to a land Right, I just knew it. I'm going to take you back to the land that which I have called you to be in I thought what what land is this like Old Testament The land which I'm going to then I realized hey god is saying I'm going to take you back The season is over then I said god if If I have to go back somebody has to be here in the church Who will look after the church this the person who comes to this church must know how to lead worship Because we don't have worship leaders. He must know how to play an instrument He must know how to uh, you know, he should be a youth Like a young person because there are a lot of youths here until somebody comes here. I'm not going back And then at the right time, you know, there was uh pastor available. I think you all met pastor John He said yes event I came everything worked out Perfectly and so when god orchestrates something Right, we need to step out. That's the point. I'm trying to make Right knock for doors to be open Probably 16 one the preparations of the heart belong to the man But the answer of the tongue is from the lord When there is a workplace when you enter into a workplace You will have to knock for doors to be open Not always opportunity comes and doors will open just like that. We need to knock Yes, but how do we knock? We don't aggressively knock. We don't break the door down Right, it's me and I'm coming and I'm entering this Knock right And what does it mean if an opportunity comes it's there? You've knocked it comes take it up Right take up that opportunity right and uh as you go through this knocking process Do your best to prepare Now for example You want to start your own business? And you're knocking you're looking for investors. You're knocking Hey, who's going to help me start my business? You're looking you're knocking for investors. Of course, first you ask God But in the natural also you're you're knocking you're You know looking for investors As you're doing that, what does it say here in the knocking process? Do your best to prepare Now picture this you're knocking For you know people to invest in your company And you say hey suddenly somebody comes and says i'm willing to invest in your company Tell me what is it about your company? And this fellow has one paper He's written the paper what my company is Tell me will the investor give him even one rupee? He's written on the paper a four size sheet paper. This is what my company is It's not going to work. We need to be able to present ourselves. Well present you need to have a Whole word document or a ppt and presentation say, okay. This is what my company is This is what I see that's going to happen in the first three years Now for first five years we may get some returns In 10 years. This is what the company the valuation of the company can be And so you're giving targets your your you've done your homework And the investors say, okay I'm going to take the risk. I'm going to give you Now imagine you've been knocking knocking knocking investor comes and you've written on the paper and then you show the This is what my business is You'll say, okay. Thank you. I mean go So be prepared or prepare yourself even as you're knocking Now how about we Look at it in ministry. You want to start a church? You're knocking for opportunities God give me the right opportunity or the right time or the right place to start Give me some, you know Connect me to some pastors or some leaders who can help me to start These are the things that I need to start And then somebody comes and says, hey, I will support you and your ministry. What is your? What is your church all about? What is the vision of the church? Oh that I haven't done yet, but after you support me, I will do the vision You'll say you first do the vision and you come back You understand why is it important to prepare right? We need to Pray listen prepare and step up, right? Even knock on open doors. Keep preparing Don't get discouraged if the first door you knock does not open wide You know, how many of you know John Wesley, the old preacher In church history not the new John Wesley's you see The the great, uh, John Wesley the Methodist preacher Don't Wesley Is the great John Wesley The great John Wesley The great John Wesley The great John Wesley preacher John Wesley is said to be one of the most renowned preachers in the world Right with over 40,000 sermons. He has preached touched many lives started the whole Methodist movement known for his uh, very uh, eloquent speech and wonderful sermons You know that John Wesley when he first began preaching they rejected him They said He's no good He's not a good preacher. He cannot be a good orator. He cannot stand in front of people and talk So there will be times when what you want to do people will say you're not good enough But carry on Continue to open those continue to ask for open doors, right? John Wesley went on when he began to you know, if you read his documentary, he's very powerful He called his brother and he said you he was a musician and a singer So he would sing a song John Wesley would preach and few people will come and listen But what started that way Went on to become a big movement and then became a revival in the nation of England right, so When don't be discouraged when those doors don't open Pursue Be persistent right Even as you are being persistent Expect unusual favor from God Let's read that verse genesis 39 and verse 21 But the lord was with Joseph and showed him mercy And he gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison The lord was with Joseph and showed him mercy and gave him favor You know favor is very important Without God's favor It's very hard to be successful Whether in ministry, whether in the corporate, whether you have your own business without the favor of God, it's Very very difficult. We need God's favor I think the perfect example of favor would be that of Nehemiah That's a favor of God If you if you see read the first few portions of Nehemiah When you read it, we will understand that this is the favor of God Why? The people destroyed the walls of Jerusalem. They burned the gates Now here is Nehemiah. He's saying He's feeling bad. He goes to the king. He says we know the story, right? He goes to the king and he says The walls of Jerusalem are broken. The gates are burned. I want to rebuild it The king had a choice During those days, you can't just go to a king and talk whatever you feel like talking Now it was the favor of God that Nehemiah had access to the king. He was a cup bearer But even being a cup bearer, you can't just talk whatever you want And that is you're talking about Jerusalem. You're talking about A nation who's the enemy To the king who's sitting there And Nehemiah is saying the walls of Jerusalem is broken. It's burned down So the king could have said Don't enter this place again and just you know Banished him from the kingdom Or the king could have said Terminate him finish him off He could have said it Right, but he didn't say it. What did he say? Nehemiah? What is wrong? Why are you so weary? Oh the gates are burned. Okay. What do you need? That's the favor of God What do you need? I need this. I need this number one. I need Papers Give me approvals that I can go and start building the wall king says, okay First favor to Give me material So that I can go and build the wall Okay approved Give me people also Few people I need For is it okay if I ask the people of In the surrounding areas to help build a wall. Yes, go ahead Everything Nehemiah asked for was granted by the king everything That is called the favor of God When God's favor is upon us. It's an unusual thing when people see us They will do unusual things It's an unusual favor Right good Daniel also, right? He was there Young man God's favor was upon him And now the the third kingdom has come the Medes and the Persians The the kingdom the Babylonian kingdom is overpowered And this the new kingdom third kingdom has come. What does he say? What does that? I say the king says See I've heard about you Daniel That you have done very well. So I want you to look after the Everything that happens in the government you should look after it Daniel didn't go running and saying see actually When I was 17 years old I came and I I was here He didn't have to explain anything That I have said I've heard about you you be the Governor you be the ruler of all that happens in the nation the favor of God You and I when we are planning and preparing for things that God has for us expect the unusual favor of God You you may have people who are high in the ministry or big leaders They can come and call See I want you to help me in this or you may have people who are High in the corporate saying hey, I want to help you in certain things or I want I want you to I want to help you and start a business. This is the unusual favor of God expected Right and there are plenty of examples if you read through the bible I mean even in church history. We read of plenty of examples as a favor of God We need God's favor upon our life right uh another another example that I can just A very practical example, and I think I've said this many many times uh You know when we we went to when we were in mangrove we went there and we wanted to do carols in the mall Right and and when we enter the mall we we just went and asked them Can we do carols? That person in the office administrative office. He said just write a letter and give it to us. I wrote a letter give it to Now I just wrote a letter saying we want to do carols But you know what is favor Suddenly I realized who's going to bring the equipment Who's going to bring the mixer the speakers the cables the mics there's so much that has to Who's going to bring all of that? right And I remember just pray I went back home and I said god I should have done it this way But what do I do now if I get into permission? how do I You know put it across that I need the sound system now hiring sound system is expensive right it would take about 30 to 40,000 only to hire the equipment now. Why would they want to do it for me? Who who are we nothing we just asked can we do carols? right, that's all we asked for and And so I remember we uh, you know, they approved it and I went to the office again and said see We want to thank you for giving the approvals So what about the sound system? That's all I asked So whatever the sound system oh sound system Uh, so in my heart I was praying I prayed I said god when I asked for this they should agree Otherwise the whole plan has gone. How will I do this? Oh sound system uh That guy was I remember very clearly. He was thinking and he said okay I'll connect you to the events team guy He will talk to you so he gave me his number I called him and I went to him. They were all they all work in the mall itself right Basement the office there. I went to him and said see we've got approval for carols. Oh, yes, the manager spoke to me Tell me what all you need write it down in this paper I wrote out two speakers three mixers 10 cables 10 jack to jacks I wrote drum kit Right drum kit And put everything And he saw it. He said, okay Do you know any vendors? I said, I don't know anyone because I'm from Bangalore. Okay, don't worry. We'll get it done We came I came one day before This is in 2018 right? I came one day before the carols. I came to the mall just to make sure that You know what they've done. They made a big stage Decorated the stage made like spotlights with sound system and I said It's the favorite of God everyone came and they were listening now. I didn't ask for stage. I didn't ask for spotlights. I All of this was just done And because of that one mall One guy from there, you know works in another mall He came up straight to me and he said give me your name and number. I gave it to him He said there are places Other malls here I'll I'll give you the permission. You can do it in all these malls The following year period in about five malls then colleges One guy was in One of the students came up to me and said, you know, this is a college here. Can you come and do the concert here? So, yeah, we'll come So don't just open by what It's a simple letter that I wrote I want to do I say unusual favor even this december You know the team went in mango. They they did chaos And we can keep doing it for the next 20 30 years. They will give it to us Why? This is the favor of God The moment we say all people's church will come to do chaos. They know us They will give it to us That's what favor does unusual favor And then we should pray for them. You should ask God for that favor upon our lives, right? Next you can build only after you settle down. So stop wandering. Let's read proverbs 27 and verse 8 People who want settle settle down wandering hyder and And you are like restless words Fleeting to and fro Yeah Now transitions are natural Right? We go to one one season to another, but there will come a time you'll have to settle down Right? God will make you stay. Okay Stay here Here is where I want you to build Right? Restless birds don't build a nest They don't lay eggs And they don't Have young ones. So they don't increase. They don't grow They're just wandering from place to place Now that's not what God wants for us Yes, there will be transitions, but there'll come a time Right where you will be established God will say yeah You settle down here. You you build on what I'm giving you right now Right? So for example, how many of you are working before joining Bible college? We're working right all of you are working So now you left your work It's a transition Yes or no and from the workplace to Bible college. So now it's a transition. You're studying in Bible college And now again, you're going to be here. There's going to be a transition after some time Get back to work or get back to ministry or whatever that God wants you to do or you want to study more Also, it's fine, but there's going to be a transition No matter what Right now as your transition Be open to the transition but also Look to God and understand. Okay. Is this where God wants me to build? Right now, we don't know how many transitions God may take us through. He may take us to two, three, four, five transitions Or maybe just one transition For example, one transition You're studying You go abroad You get a job You work, you start your ministry, whatever And you're done one transition in life. What one place to another But then there are other people God will Do a two or three transitions Right, you go here from there. He'll send you to another place or he may ask you to start something He may ask you to close down something Transitions will be there But at one point There's a place where you have to settle down Now when I say settle down means not okay. This is my job. I'm going to do this No, meaning build on what God is giving you in that time Okay, you know, okay, this is what God wants me to do Resist the temptation of randomly jumping from one job to another You know now when you look at what's happening people jump, no one job to another This company is paying me 5000 rupees more So I will move from this job to other But you've been in this company for five years For 5000 years Five years of Of work, you're just going to throw it away All right, so we need to be wise on how we make the transitions Don't be like birds moving from one place to another right Because five years you work hard for five years You can't just leave it just because you know somebody else became a manager or somebody else was given more christmas gift That's not how it works like we we need to understand transitions We need to understand where God wants us and how we can build on what God is giving us right I remember I had a friend and He's still my friend. I don't get talked to much but He was in a very good job, right? You know high in the same place where I used to work and His job was nothing Basically was getting paid to do very little work Everyone wanted a job like him All he would do is the new batches will come. He will train the new batches. Okay. You speak like this You talk like this, you know communications and people building or the other time he was free Now what happened was everyone used to envy him. Hey, you're getting paid for doing nothing You know, maybe in an eta shift he would work three hours five hours. He's free He'll be simply walking around in the office. We used to be so upset with him But this guy because of that freedom one day what happened was his manager came and Was upset that some work didn't get done and shouted at him Hey, you shouldn't have done this. You should have done it. I asked you He got so upset he went home and he put his papers down He said I'm quitting the job He sent the email Now after sending the email, he thought oh, what have I done? Uh, so he's he wrote another email the next day went to office, you know, they all cautioned him They made him sit. They said, okay. So for your exit interview You have to do this this these so he said no, no, no, I want to stay. I just was upset that Uh, you know that you the manager shouted at me. So I put my papers. No, we accepted your resignation. So now we don't need your services That that what he did till now He regrets it Because he's saying if I was there he had opportunities to go abroad He he never got a job like what he had He says I did a foolish thing Right. So what am I trying to say? be wise when we You know, don't just move just don't let situations dictate your Plans and your careers look to God Let God dictate it. Let God speak into you right now Take okay in this two more minutes. Okay, we'll take a break. We'll come back and now we'll continue
