2Corinthians 10 vs 3,4…

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh; (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)

Workplace drama anyone ? Office politics ? Backstabbing co-workers at the water cooler ?

Modern day plantations still have house Negroes and field Negroes,  instead of cotton and corn ,we hurl just about everything else at our masters bidding. Field Negroes can work from the luxury of their own homes now….cause they free, and house Negros now have made it all the way to the big house, literally, sharing big time positions at major companies around the globe. Historical tensions aside between the house and field negro, there were some that looked out for each other….sharing, food , clothing, shelter and information amongst each other. As much as things have changed, they always remain the same.

Don’t forget your history and where you have come from.

Acts 18:1-3…After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth; And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy,with his wife Priscilla….And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought; for by thier occupation they were tent makers.

Are you a house or field negro ?

Tobit 2:11And my wife Anna did take women’s work to do.

Sadly, there are many that have expressed that the( modern day ) Israelite woman that is well educated and employed is less likely to repent and humble down to the scriptures, and hold her husband in high esteem….( and it is true in  A LOT of cases ) I’ve witnessed it with my own eyes, and been there done that…..all out of order. I would much rather work all this temporary stuff out in this lifetime, so I can reap real eternal rewards when our Savior returns.

The struggle for equality in the workplace has given many women a superiority complex at home….and in many ways this world has made attempts to emasculate our men to feel as thou they are not worthy to provide for his own since the days of physical slavery.  An repentant Israelite man will be angry if he cannot provide for his house because the world is not only against him, but his woman also if she is using her worldly finances to belittle him ,  since now she has to take a more dominant role to support the needs of the family….which is against the natural order. The unemployment rates among minority men, and single parent households run by women are staggeringly high. The  repentant Israelite woman who is working is angry often because she is supporting the family single handed and thus spiritually struggling to maintain proper balance between work and her natural order of being submissive to her husband, and the challenges are at times overwhelming. There must be a  mutual understanding between a righteous commandment keeping husband and wife on how the household will be in peace, from beyond dishes to diapers and daycare , bills and money…especially the lack thereof  to acknowledging that regardless of positions and titles at a woman’s’ place of business or occupation, her husband is still head of the household.

• Apocrypha Book of Sirach Chapter 25 vs 22….a woman, if she maintain her husband, is full of anger, impudence, and much reproach
• Ecclesiastes 7 vs 7…surely oppression maketh a wise man mad….
• Jeremiah 31 vs 22…How long wilt thou go about, O thou back sliding daughter? for the Lord hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a man.

1 Corinthians 11 vs 3….But i would have you know, that the head  of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

Sisters’ when the Savior comes, it is not going to matter what degree status, salary or amount of worldly possessions you have….IF, you did not build your foundation on the commandments of the Heavenly Father and apply them. Needless to say that many repentant Israelite women are in the workforce today, doing various amounts of jobs. From college internships, medical and administrative fields and so forth. Several questions have arrived in my e-mail box so we will address the topic head on.

This is an e-mail I just received….

Shalom!

I just had question for you. I’m pretty new to the truth, I’ve been in it for about 6 months and this is the first time my husband and I won’t be celebrating “holidays”. I was wondering if you could write a blog/info about how to deal with the upcoming holidays in the workplace. I’m a new leasing consultant for an apartment community that isn’t doing so well at the moment and it involves a lot of marketing, building relationships and interaction with people and residents. I love the job! But I’m just wondering what is the best way to deal with all of the “Ok, Have a great Thanksgiving!” or “Merry Christmas to you!” Or how was your holiday?!” I know to probably just say “Thank you but I don’t celebrate it” but it just seems odd to yell that to them when they yell it on their way out the door. I briefly told my boss that I don’t celebrate it but we haven’t discussed how we’ll deal with the holiday marketing, etc. ANY suggestions. Or can you write an article on this topic? I would LOVE to get other people’s opinion!
Thank you!

Shamarah’s reply….

Apocrypha Book of Sirach Chapter 34 vs 9,10…

A man that hath travelled knoweth many things; and he that hath much experience will declare wisdom. He that hath no experience knoweth little; but he that hath travelled is full of prudence.

Dress Code…

I have been in the work force for a long time and I can tell you appearance, presentation, and hygiene count.During high school I had several internships at fashion showrooms, on one of my first interviews the feedback that my guidance counselor was given about me was  that I had all the qualifications and could speak well, talent yada, yada….” but I looked impoverished“.

Never forgot it….you must look the part of the job you aspire to be in this captivity….truth hurts.

Brush your teeth , Comb your hair. Wash!!!
