What should be my Profession? – By Adekunle Lawal

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

It is amazing to hear some people segregating certain profession 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 such 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”. These are common lame remarks make by people that are stereotyped to stick-a-profession-to-a-gender theory.

This point of view is not ethical. 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 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 take your time to pray to God for guidance (Mark 11: 24). Doing all these makes you to be adequately prepared for the task. I pray that the Lord of heaven and earth will be with you in Jesus’ name. Amen.
