Bible Question: What scriptural promises will enhance one's petition for employment? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Onuoha, Nowhere in Scripture does God promise employment or promise enhanced prospects of employment. But it is good to hire those who need employment (Deut. 24:14-15) and give fair wages (Lev. 19:13). Showing concern for servants (Matt. 8:5-13) is commendable along with providing duty shifts (2 Kings 11:4-8) while workers earn their pay (Matthew 10:10; Luke 10:7; 1 Tim. 5:18). Paul was a model of daily conduct and employment (2 Thess. 3:6-10) and had much to say about the relationship between slaves and masters (Ephesians 6:5-9; Col. 3:22-25, 4:1; Philemon). It is good to be a trustworthy employee (Titus 2:9-10), even if you have to support yourself (1 Cor. 9:6-7) as a tent maker (Acts 18:1-3). Blessings to you, Makarios |
