HOW TO WORK IN A HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT =)
HOW TO WORK IN A HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT
Points from T.D. Jakes
1. Don’t expect to be appreciated. Your only expectation should be to get
a Paycheck. Don’t come to work to have personal relationships. Don’t
allow
What you do to affect who you are.
2. Do your job well, but remember your mission. God put you there to be a
Light.
3. Seek opportunities to change the atmosphere without commenting on the
problems.
You have a God to talk to. You are on an assignment. Quietness and
competence shall be your strength.
4. Don’t let your environment get inside of you. You should influence
it,not let it influence you. Stop going to work to be fed. You didn’t come
to receive, you came to give.
5. Increase your capacity to work with different personalities. God will
often bless you through people you don’t even like!
6. Remember, where you are does not define where you are going. This will
deliver you from frustration. God has a plan for your life. Keep your
eye on the prize.When Peter did this, he was able to walk in what other
people sank in!
7. Get the optimum results with minimal confusion. Be effective without
making the environment worse.
8. Don’t be associated with one group or clique. Labels limit your
usefulness. God wants you to work with everybody but be labeled by nobody.
Use all your gifts.
9. Always keep your song near you. Keep a consecrated place in your soul.
Hold on to your praise.
10. Understand that God anoints you for trouble. Put on the whole armour of
God before going to work. =)

The policeman signals to an car driver to pull over to the side of the road, due to the fact that he appears to be driving erratically. He says to the driver, “You appear to have been drinking!”
The driver answers, “No sir, I am just tired.”
The policeman looks into the car and notices that the driver is a priest! He also notices that there is an empty bottle on the floor. He says to the driver, “What is, or should I say was in this bottle?
The driver answers, “Water!”
The policeman says, “It is not, it’s wine!”
The driver looks up to the heavens and says, “Oh Lord, you have done it again!”
