Doctors have to work on Sundays.

If a doctor left his work because of church, s/he'd have a query waiting on Monday.

Will the church feed them? *silly religious threads on Nairaland every Sunday*

God bless you my brother, it baffles me the kind of faith we profess to possess in this region where money and makeshift jobs have become our God. Even if you dont go to Church, Sunday is a HALLOWED TO GOD, so working on sundays is a flagrant disobedience to the word of God......WHOEVER IS INDULGING IN SUCH FOOLISHNESS IS THE BIGGEST SLAVE. LET THE TRUTH BE TOLD.

italo: Thankfully, almost every Catholic Church has evening mass. But any job that would prevent me from attending mass throughout sunday consistently is for someone else, not me.

rusher14: Nigerians (Africans?) are quite sanctimonious. How I wish this could translate into a moral and contrite people.

Little wonder we have Billionaire pastors who feed off the robots that constitute many a parish.

Little do people know that the pulpit is the office of the modern day MOG or whatever moniker they go by these days and how they love Sabbath.

I ask if you or a loved one had a serious medical issue on Sabbath day should you or your loved one be driven straight to church because medical practitioners are of the same leaning as you.

I refuse to quote the bible on this matter because it is a no-brainer.

The same set of people that say they would quit such work are looking for any work in the oil companies which sometimes require one to work offshore. I wonder if they think such jobs would present the opportunity to congregate on Sabbath.

There are so many professions which require one to be at his/her duty post even on Sabbath, I guess most of the contributors are not of such vocation.

I would and do work on Sabbath as it is necessary for my line of work. Yet, it should not prevent me from worshiping God in truth and in deed which is what matters most.

Well it depends, if it is once in a while there's no need 4 resignation, if u are a geniue christian. After all christianity is fellowshiping with God not only fellowshiping in the church. But if ur job is taking u away from God is better to lose it than to lose ur life! Shalom!!!

I work where it is mandatory to work sometimes for six straight weeks weekends inclusive
if i didn't know God i would have started having doubts about his word
but in a country where there are many unemployed graduates one has to be as wise as a serpent
the most important thing is paying your tithe regularly and being heaven conscious.

Donmichaelz: How much is he paying? 1 million? 10 million? I guese not Why should I take a Job that will affect my fellowship with God? I dey craze?


I don't fear He who could issue me an employment I Fear him who can give and take oxygen,health,life,prosperity
I fear him who is Above cos HE that is ABOVE is Above ALL including a stuuuupidd Job

If u can skip church because of a job den God can skip ur prayers,afterall everybody gives honor to whosoever honors them..





I don't blame u guys for it is written
IF u can not love the person whom u see how much more ME(God) whom u can not See?


If you were to be a christain in Irac,would you go to church on sunday? Does it then mean serving God means going to church on sunday. Don't ever think that God will aplaud you for quitting your job because of sunday service. If you are such a good christain as you claim, turn your office to a worship place for other who are also in the same circumstance with you.Wisdom is profitable to direct.

Sorry that is not tru, that is why nigeria is backwarded.

To life a christian life is not that you have to run in the church on sunday, because going to church every sunday didnot make you a good christian.
When I cannot go in the church on sunday i can go on saturday evening and when this is not possible than i will pray at home, because running to church say nothing if you a real christian.

Very sound advice. If your current job doesn't favour your spieitual activities. Then ask the Lord for one which will.

The response on this thread has really shown why Nigerians in Nigeria mostly are the way they are, and while this Country is the way it is. To all who refer to Serving God as being religious, you have to find Jesus and truly know who Jesus Is. The most people who has valid excuse on while they can't attend Wednesday Services, Sunday Services are the most people who has challenges that they never get out of for years. And to the others who said people go to Church to ping, chat and do other stuff, know this.. You're not qualified to judge any Christian, serving God rightly is a personal choice. The Bible says we are the Righteousness of Christ, we don't struggle to be Righteous, we already are. All we do need is Right Living.

Your Anointing can't interfere with your Habit, God gave everyone the Will Power, that is something Satan can't take away from you. @Op... Please anything that would take you away from God's presence, from fellowship in with other believer's, please abstain from it, and quit any Job that would take you away from God. Please be wise, your job can't save your life, your job can't make you wealthy. Casting down all the imaginations and knowledge that exalts itself above the Knowledge of God. God Bless You All

What about miracles on Sabbath?

What about looking for one's lost sheep on Sabbath?

Be wise and realize that modern life dictates the professions and days of work.

Posting on your phone or whatever electronic device requires a systems engineer to be at work to provide integrity of the medium.

Why watch the News on Sabbath?

Don't you think it's a bit hypocritical to patronize people who 'defile' the Sabbath?

Enlightenment is something we greatly require for us to move forward as a people.

Keep d sabath day holy. Wat evr u do in 6days shouldnt b done on d seventh day. U and ur job, who is controlling who? Your job is gradually bcoming ur idol because its taking d place of worship for d Most High. Read Isaiah 44:18. Deut 4:28. Wil u take d money to ur grave? Do u knw ur days on earth? In d presence of God thr is fulness of joy. I was glad wen they say lets go to d house of God. Always keep God first in ur life.
