Drink spoilt milk, call out sick, go for interview.

These have given you the perfect answer... what many fail to realise is that God is the one who elevates his children and when your time comes, nothing in hell or on earth can stop your elevation if you follow through in honesty and integrity. THE FRUIT OF HONESTY IS GOD'S BLESSING.

If you're entitled to lunch break, then use that time to attend the interview. That is if the venue is within the same area. I turn down interviews that are far from me, like going from VI to the mainland. But VI/Ikoyi/Lekki axis for the two times I went for major interviews while changing jobs, I would say I'm going out for lunch. I don't have to tell my biz to the boss. Wisdom is profitable to direct.

One of the times I had a major interview I had taken ill the previous day in the office, not planned at all. Then I got called for the interview. Of course I didn't go to work the next day.

God always makes a way.

OP proverb 2:11 New Living Translation Wise choices will watch over you. Understanding will keep you safe.

nobody in this world can tell me that he hasnt lie before...

WENGERNOMICS:


Bros, Christianity does not connote stupidity. When God sent Samuel to anoint David, Samuel told God that Saul the King would kill him if he hears he went to anoint David. God told Saul to go to the town where David's family was and say he has come to sacrifice to the Lord. And then use the oppourtunity to anoint David. And it worked. Samuel went, asked all the old men to accompany him to sacrifice to the Lord in the house of Jesse and there he anointed David. I cant even remember if a sacrifice was eventually done.

Point is: Did God lie? No. Did Samuel Lie: No. All you have to do if you have an Interview is to pray to God to make a way for you to be there. When the day comes: Tell your supervisor you have to go and do a transaction in the bank or you have to take your baby brother for a medical check-up. ENSURE you go to the bank and do a transaction or you book a hospital visit for that day.......then go for the interview. When you are asked where you went to.....You went to do a banking transaction and show them the transaction you went to do.

The truth is that if the Job is truly for you, God will make a way and you would find yourself there. You don't need to lie that you are sick or your father died......except you have plans to be truly sick or to kill your father etc.

If anyone thinks this is dishonest or a lie, try asking God how he performed it in 1st Samuel 16 and 17.

BRO U GO LIVE LONG!!! U have answered the question without no doubts.

that is quite true! but they never tell u d consequences

fact is, all lies, they stink. u can cover them up 4 awhile, but they dnt go away.

telling the truth may b hard, but its d right thing and it pays off eventually.

m talking frm personal experiences. infact, a lot of us know ds.

I applaud your understanding of scriptures and its application. If anyone wants to understand life in order to lead it successfully, they must study the Old Testament of the scriptures as well as the New Testament. Too bad that many preachers have erroneously pushed aside the Old Testament of the Holy Bible for inexplicable reasons.

"Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come" (1Corinthians 10:11). You may begin from verse one for full comprehension.

Honesty is the best policy.

Take the day off, that's what I will do.

I read with passion the last thread on the various excuses given in order to attend job interviews in another coy and I wondered what kind of excuse a Christian could give to honour interview invites.

Please I need opinions and experiences from Christians (or Muslims) who consider and see lying as sin and cannot for any reason (even a Shell interview) compromise their faith.

Last year I have had to turn down two invites because I had no means of honouring it. I applied for one and I was poached for the other. Though I did not reschedule the later because I didn't want it. But in scenarios like these, what should a faithful Christian do?

FFS, take a leave to attend the friggin interview or Just remain in your comfort zone then.

And by deductive reasoning, dishonesty is the next best.
I say there's nothing wrong if you choose the second best option in some situations...

Nice one. Can you also enlighten me on the case of Abraham and Sarah where God told Abraham to say that Sarah(his wife) was his sister? Wasn't that a lie?

God never said that

fleps:


Suicide mission!

I said that recently to my boss, God favoured me unlike the one I lied to him!

searching4love:



TELL HIM YOU WANT TO GO FOR AN INTERVIEW . THAT WAY YOU HAVE SPOKEN THE TRUTH LIKE A TRUE CHRISTIAN

And that person will spend whole of his/her life searching for a new job...except if GOD intervenes.

fpeter:




MY DEAR THE WORST THING YOU CAN DO IS TO LIE AGAINST GOD, THE EASIEST WAY TO DAMNATION IS BLASPHEMY
TO ADD OR DEDUCT FROM THE BIBLE WILL ONLY SPELL CALAMITY, THE SCRIPTURE SAYS STUDY TO SHOW YOURSELF APPROVED.
GOD NEVER TOLD ABRAHAM TO LIE, ALBEIT SARAH WAS HIS SISTER...NOTE THAT GOD'S ANGER WAS KINDLED AGAINST THE
KING AND HE HAD TO DO A RESTITUTION, WHERE ABRAHAM PRAYED FOR HIM TO OBTAIN GOD'S MERCY. STUDY YOUR BIBLE AND
DON'T DEPEND ON WHAT SOMEONE SAID IS IN THE BIBLE...PLEASE FOR YOUR OWN GOOD.

I'm sure you didn't bother to read the rest of my comments. I didn't blasphem. I just wanted clarification on something. The shouting really was unnecessary.

Their is no Born Again in Nigeria. The person na mumu

barbiegirl4luv:
Tell ur boss that u r going for a job interview #shikena#

Hmmmmm....that's express dismissal

I believe that God will make a way for you.

Take permission to take the day off from your boss or take permission to come late to work in order to attend to some urgent personal issues, you don't usually have to disclose all personal issues so that should be accepted. Reserve your casual leave for days as such so that you don't appear as someone who often take some days off.

Whether born again or not... i will so tear the lie even the devil self will be like

ama not gona let religion define reality for me.

It wasn't Samuel who thought of wat to do rather it was God who led him... Let's do d same nd wait on God to tell us wat to do instead of relying on our own reasoning...
God will definitely make a way for HIS children where there's no way!!

It's a simple matter my friend. All you have to do is to simply go for your interview. Send a text message to your immediate superior that you couldn't make it to work due to unavoidable reasons.

Even if you're 'drilled' the following day, just keep emphasizing phrases such as 'reasons beyond my control', 'unavoidable circumstances' etc.

They'll probably get the gist, but they'll have nothing to pin you down with.

Do you remember that Prophet Samuel had to go for a 'dangerous' interview which his boss (Saul) must never hear about? Hope you remember what God asked him to do in order to safely attend the interview. Go and do thou likewise.

Pheew! Thank the universe I'm no Christian or Muslim. I would tell ANY lie I see fit! I'm trying to get a better job to improve my life and career, I aint killing, robbing or rapiñg anyone!

Telling my boss I'm going for a job interview would dent my relationship with him and the company, what if I don't get the other job?

God helps those who help themselves - I heard that from somewhere..

Thanks all for the clarification. I guess nobody lied then. Moral of the story: Find a clever way to always get out of a precarious situation without having to lie. Cheers.

@shyna01, I didn't say that now, did I?

your statement made to ask so I don't "judge" for who u are or aren't.

Na by force to use big words? Can't you look up the meaning of "POACHED" before you use it? Weytin you dey teach d kids?

As much as you don't want to lie, you don't want to tell your boss you're going for an interview either; that might be an invitation for a sack, and rightfully so. Wisdom is profitable to direct. Tell them you have a family emergency to attend to....and trust me, your family considers yout getting a better paying job an emergency!
