Partnership at work



Most of us start our careers with enthusiasm and anticipation for what the future will hold. But when you add in the inevitable disappointments, failures, interpersonal tension, and unrealistic demands, suddenly work feels more like a jail sentence than the key to freedom. Viewing work without God can have this effect on even the most passionate men and women.


Learning to let my focus move from self to others as I being praying quietly for those around me.


Prayer points:

1. coworkers will come to know and follow Jesus.
2. those who do follow Jesus will boldly lead change in the workplace.
3. coworkers that I'm comfortable with and the ones that aren't so easy to love.
4. Pray for my workplace.
5. Pray for myself, that God will ignite a fire in me to go that extra mile, to care more, and to work more diligently.


I believe in being excellent at work, listening well, praying quietly, and encouraging others creates the foundation for a spiritual community in the workplace. It is all about relationships, to really know your coworkers and to invest wisely.


Creating a spiritual community at work is strategic and life-changing for everyone involved. I spend most of my waking hours at work, and it is in the workplace that I can invest in the lives of others. Meeting rooms, lunchrooms, offices, cubicles - these are the places where the truth of scripture can be lived out, and impacting others is possible.


May you open my eyes and my heart to see needs and pray for my coworkers. Help me to practice the discipline of prayer consistently. As I pray, change me, change others, and change my workplace.


Help me to find reliable men and reliable women in my workplace. Help me to see the small moments to make a big difference. Help me take advantage of the opportunities to be excellent, listen well, pray quietly, and encourage others. Lord, I ask that my workplace be a place where a spiritual community grows. Amen.

“Soldiers don’t get tied up in the affairs of civilian life, for then they cannot please the officer who enlisted them.”

“So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:58‬ ‭NLT‬‬

ride the rainbow

"Thirty years ago, my colleagues, younger and more dreamy eyed, settled the words of our pledge. We did not focus our minds on our navels or we would have missed the rainbow in the sky. We pursued that rainbow and that was how we came to build today’s Singapore" "There is a glorious rainbow that beckons those with the spirit of adventure. And there are rich findings at the end of that rainbow." "To the young and the not too old, I say look at the horizon, find that rainbow, go ride it. Not all will be rich; quite a few will find a vein of gold but all who pursue that rainbow will have a joyous and exhilarating ride and some profit." Mr Lee Kuan Yew Looking at Lee Kuan Yew, how he gave up his life for the good of others, for the generation and future one to come to have a better life. How he sees the value of what he is doing.. Also reminded of Jesus Christ, how he gave up his life, sacrifice for us when he did no wrong, to that he may be sin ...

The heart of worship (Christian Artist)

Humbled by this experience to dance on stage for the audience of One, ministering to others through dance. Thank You Lord, all glory to you.  That first step of obedience is the toughest. I know full well someone else could do a better job than me, and know that it is by the grace of God that I can be involved in His kingdom, serving Him and ministering to others.  When I was doubting my abilities, secretly hoping that the leader will change his mind and get someone else to do it, God never stop searching my heart and tells me who am I in Him, that it is indeed all about Him and not me. He bring me back to this very reason of why I started dancing for Him. "I'll bring you more than a dance,  for a dance in itself, is not what you've required. You searched much deeper within,  through the way things appear,  You're looking into my heart."  (heart of worship) The world looks at efficiency and capability, but God looks at the hear...
