Career decisions are not just one of those decisions you make without considering many things. This is what career counselors would tell you because they know it will affect you for the rest of your life. While many would recommend a career choice in line with your gifts, and what you enjoy doing which is very good to a normal man, it is important to note that a career goes beyond that. We can’t afford to move in the ways of mere men. We are kingdom people, we must do so as a kingdom person.
For a kingdom man, career choice is deeper than that. For we all know we are not just here to live and die. We have assignments and purposes to fulfill for God. Therefore, it is best to have a career that helps in the fulfillment or that is the fulfillment of the purpose for which we were created. The problem with this is that you must seek it out with prayers from God. Though God has given you gifts that can indicate it, you must pray it out. So, here are prayer points to help you to uncover the career direction you should be going;
