Hmm a delicate question, that involves wisdom.

In this dispensation I will just tell the bozz he has a call, the worst he will do z sack me. And when he does I will have my fingers crossed waiting For God to do the miraculous.

It's a two sided coin

On the other hand he might not sack me but scream at me, I will let him know my stand that GOD
FIRST

HONESTLY it z a difficult situation. But those that know their God shall be strong and do exploit

That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
11
KJV:If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. Phil 3:10-11

Live a life that will convinced your boss that you're not that type of a person who can lie. And your boss cannot try that shit with you.
Note:it doesn't matter how far lies had gone, one day truth must surely overtake

You don't have to lie or say he is not around. Just say he is unavailable to receive the call, get the message and promise your boss will get back to him or her.
That's how to be a PA.

My boss is not available at the moment.. Even the Bible ask you to be wise

Satan's wisdom turned to craftiness the moment he was sent out of heaven.

I think that's been crafty not wise. Because a lie will always be a lie

I'll simply say "I'm sorry, my boss can't speak with you right now"

Your answer shows you are still a learner on the job.

"My boss is currently unavailable. Could you kindly call back much later or leave a message for him"

Not difficult to reason out. No?

My candid advice.

Say the truth cos u r a good christian so you can lose your Job; then go to ur church and ask ur pastor to pay you salary.

Lol that's correct but then the pastor is even looking forward to your tithes and offerings so that's going to be a bit of a conundrum.....

Your integrity as a true believer/Christian matters to God, personally I will say the truth. If I loose the job then so be it. With an honest answer u might be set free, but lying to cover yourself, yeah u might still retain ur job but tomorrow something else might still make u loose the job.

What is wrong in saying "my boss is currently unavailable, pls can you call back much later or leave a message"?

There is no need to over-flog this issue. Simply be as professional as possible. "My boss is currently unavailable or not on sit, kindly leave a message and he would get back to you ASAP!".

As a true christain. You know the situation of the country and how difficult it is getting a Job ,assuming where you work you have this strict boss which everyone tries to please ok you were with him on this particular day, his phone rang and he asked you to take the call ..which u did..the callers asked you to give the phone to the owner that he wants to speak to him and your boss signal you to tell him he is not around as a true Christian what will you do? ? You and i knows the consequence of lying which the Bible condems so what will you do/ say?? .

Last year September, I found myself in this position of either telling the truth as a Christian knowing I could loose my contract or keep quiet and keep making the money. I chose Christ and told the truth and lost a contract I was making One Hundred thousand Naira weekly.
So, yea, I will do it again if found in that spot.

If you are a true Christian, the Holy Spirit will give you wisdom of what to say. The quote is replying with wisdom. Just listen to your inner mind clearly.

Thats where your conscience comes in as a true believer bro. Believe me its not easy being a normal easy going believer and a staunch one that lives his/her whole life to please God. I'd personally tell ma boss I cant lie if I pick the calls rather than picking the calls to give him away. Very simple, if he cant take it then so be it, if he encourages u to lie one day he will lie to u too.

I remember when a call came for my boss, and he's a pastor and he wasn't interested in taking the call, and he gave me that look like he doesn't want to talk to the person, and the person asked is your boss on seat, and I replied " Am sorry but my boss is not currently "on seat" he just left his seat not too long ago, but I will let him as long as soon as he gets back on "seat". And the boss was like I didn't tell you to lie and I said I didn't , I only just anwsered the question based on technicality. Now would that still be a lie or me just captilizing on English and context.

Note: my boss was not seat but was with another person in the office
