YOUR DEGREE IS A TOOL – NOT A CEILING (2)

YOUR DEGREE IS A TOOL – NOT A CEILING (2)

Bible Reading: Exodus 31: 1-5

Memory Verse:  The LORD is the one who directs a person’s steps. How then can anyone understand his own way? Proverbs 20:24 (GWT)

Many graduates are jobless because they ignored their true calling. You see that your friend who used to draw cartoons at the back of his notebook? He’s now designing for international brands and earning in dollars.

But you? You ignored your talent, forced yourself into studying “lucrative courses”, and now you’re broke. Let’s be honest: Some of you were called to create, to lead, to build, but you went to chase “safe careers” because of “what will people say?” Now you’re a certified graduate, and a professional regretter.

This shall not be your portion, in Jesus name. You were meant to sing, but you picked Medicine, now your voice is healing nobody. I know you can be a medical doctor and still sing. I am not disputing it, dear. You were born to speak on global stages, but you’re stuck typing CVs with Times New Roman sadness. You could write stories that shake minds, but you’re waiting for an oil company to call you. 

Revisit your passion today. Bury it no more because of pride, ego, its uncommonality, or because you want to please someone. Many graduates are jobless, not because they’re lazy, but because they ghosted their purpose. Don’t be one of such. Find your lane. Shine your light. Stop letting the society mislead your destiny. Until you answer your calling, every job will feel like punishment even with a good salary.

Quote:  Many graduates are jobless, not because they’re lazy, but because they ghosted their purpose. 

Prophetic Decree: Today, the angel of prosperity shall pay you a visit, in Jesus name. 

Prayer Focus

1. Thank you Jesus for opening my eyes of understanding. 

2. I receive the grace to discover, develop, and deploy my gifts and talent, in Jesus name. 

3. My gift and talent shall bring me before kings and not before mean men, in Jesus name. 

4. If I am on the wrong career and destiny route, O Lord, redirect me by your mercies, in Jesus name. 

5. I receive wisdom to navigate challenging times, in the name of Jesus.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:  Jeremiah 18-22
