Working purposefully;
There are certain times in one's life when the question of fulfilment with work arises. If there is no purpose to working, it leaves you unsure about your work.
What really defines as purpose; it is essentially acting with intention to achieve an outcome.
When you are spiritually driven,it is no longer for your own personal gain or benefit but rather serving in ways that brings benefits to other and glorifying God all the same .
Questions that should be asked to check your purpose of working;
- Do I experience joy and fulfilment in my work.
- Does it develop me and let me grow spiritually.
- Can I support myself financially.
- Doest it improve my contributions to the community etc.
Do your best to shun work that is illegal, shady and dishonest, you must hold integrity, honesty, excellence in high esteem as your set principles.
In summary work to contribute meaningfully to your life and others,exalt Jesus and expand his kingdom.
WORKING PRODUCTIVELY;
This simply means working, hard and getting good results, there is no one who is not concerned about improving productivity at work.

Productivity tends to improve business operations, increase profits etc. These are some steps to take to ensure productivity;
- Efficiency and productivity goes hand in hand,focus on being organized and clean,it encourages a good working space which foster motivation and motivation leads to productivity.
- You have to be focused so as not to end up procrastinating, which works against productivity, so any form of procrastination must be kept under control.
- Anticipate and avoid distractions, your focus has to be sharpened to achieve this, if it is unavoidable minimize it as much as you can.
- Lastly prioritize, from the most important to the least important, this way you will get the job done on time and therefore increases productivity.
Be determined,disciplined,industrious,prayerful and you are sure to excel.
WORKING PROFITABLY;
You must turn your working hard into working profitably. To acheive this you must be creative and innovative, turning imaginative ideas into reality and generating solutions.
- To be creative is to be a critical thinker and then producing your thoughts, it is a two way process.
- It does not necessarily have to be a new idea, it could be a revamped version of an old idea; doing things better, faster,cheaper or of better quality.
- Observe the trend and what the consumers want.
- Create a niche for yourself and then proceed to networking.
But do all these after you have already gotten your ideas in check and you are sure of the profitability of your thoughts.
May God see you through in any business/enterprise you are working on.
