Can I have your attention?
Now that I have it, let me tell you a secret.
A secret many do not know.
Even the ones that knows it are now hoarding it.
That's why the talk only about self-development.
They talk only about having skills and monetizing your skills.
Sometimes, they host online programs, to teach people principles.
How to make it before 25. How to become successful.
Well, they use this secret, but they're afraid of telling you the truth.
Don't you wonder why, you do the same thing they do but only them have result?
Don't you ask yourself, at least, I work hard, what else must I do?
I do everything my mentor says online/offline...
I network with people.
I have tech skills, but I'm broke.
I've invested in crypto, yet no money.
Even our 21st century Preachers now tell us,
"Don't waste your time, you need to develop yourself" ??????
Oya now (Now),
We have more tech bros/sis than tech jobs
We have more talents than employers
We have people that are excellently skilled but are looking for job.
They lied to you for acceptance
They were afraid because they thought "Prayer" is an outdated technology.

AI - they now say
Tech - they preach
They forgot that, Joseph, highly talented, remained a prisoner until "His word" (God's word came)
Psalm 105:19.
His wisdom could teach Senators but he remained a prisoner until God came.
Psalm 105:22
They forgot, David, a highly talented musician and a warrior, remained in the wilderness, and running for his life, until God came.
2 Samuel 6:21
They forgot Jephtha a mighty warrior, yet he was an outcast in his father's house until God came
Judges 11:4

What more shall I say?
Shall I speak of Gideon the mighty warrior? Judges 6:12
Or the wise man in a city that saved the whole city with his wisdom yet was not remembered.
Ecclesiastics 9:14-16
Hardworking will not save you.
Neither will your wisdom.
Not even your connection
Nor family and friends.
There's only one that lifts the POOR from the dust;
He's the only one that lifts the begger from the trenches. #techiesFromTrenches
Psalm 113:7:8
1 Samuel 2:8
You can work hard as die poor, ask the labourer
Psalm 127:1
Pray that God show you mercy in this tough economy and job market.
Hebrews 4:16
God will come.
A techie can be skillful and jobless.
It's not enough to code, or solve bugs.
Top talents are layed off every year from top tech companies.
A #techieFromTrenches that doesn't have a family to give him a job, must pray:
For wisdom, on how to navigate the job market, popular strategies might not work. Proverbs 3:5-6
For favour, Esther was audition to be the Queen, less qualified but favoured.
Esther 2:17
For excellent spirit, Daniel rose in the Babylonian government from the status of a Captive. Daniel 6:3
For Strategic alliance and relationships, it's not who you know, but who knows you, and are ready to help you achieve your goals. Your favorite Influencers will tell you there's the first person believed in them and took chances on them. Nehemiah 2:2,9
For Power, I'll describe power as a spiritual force to do what nobody has ever done around you before. Isaiah 40:30-31, 1 Samuel 2:9
Techies must pray, if techies want to be successful.
Techies should not only use their nights to code but to pray.
As a #techiesFromTrenches we have no helper, so let God help you.
This is your first step to become successful here.
This is why we Pray. ????
Congratulations for reading through. ????????????

7 个月Thank you Jackson for this wake up call. I am not only impressed with this article, my spirit resonates with every point you emphasized on. Hard work will not save any, as a techie we must pray to have an unfair advantage. Thank you once again.
