Gaining God's Victory In a Hostile Work or School Environment

1. We Can Be Overcomers At Work or School Through Jesus
   1. The key is the strength of our relationship with Jesus.
   2. John 16:33, I John 5:4, John 15:4-5, Phil. 4:13, Romans :37, I Cor. 15:57.
2. We Need to Prepare Before We Go to Work or School
   1. By praying:
      1. On the Armor of God, Eph. 6:10-18.
      2. About our job or school situations and people.
      3. For ourself.
      4. Recounting how God has blessed us before.
   2. By worshipping:
      1. Playing Christian music.
      2. Singing our own song in our heart to God.
3. At Our Work or School, We Need to Stop Expecting and Start Giving
   1. Expect only a paycheck from your job.
   2. Give to the people at your job or school because you are in love with Jesus, Luke 6:27-28, John 14:15, John 15:12.
4. Joseph and Daniel Are Two Good Examples
   1. They both had terrible job situations.
   2. Yet they both continued to trust and love God.
   3. And while persecuted, yet they both became extremely successful in their jobs.
