What Should be My Profession? – By Adekunle Lawal

“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” (Philippians 4:13KJV) 

It is amazing to hear some people segregating certain professions to a particular gender. Haven’t you heard some people making a comment like this? “Peter said that he would like to become a nurse, I think that’s odd, I believe females are quite suitable in the nursing profession; why can’t he become a doctor instead?” or “I heard that Sarah is thinking of becoming a pilot, I think that should be a job for men.” 

This point of view is not in line with God’s Word. Our Bible text says that you are empowered to do all things, including your choice of profession, through the Lord Jesus Christ who is able to strengthen you. This Scripture is not limited to only your profession, but it addresses all THINGS that you desire.

I believe you know that whatever you desire must be in agreement with the Word of God. Moreover, whatever you desire needs proper planning, and time to pray to God for guidance (Mark 11: 24). Doing all these makes you adequately prepared for the task.

I pray that the Lord of heaven and earth will be with you in Jesus’ name. Amen.
