God is in Business God is a God of business. He is God of the Church and the Marketplace. God has an agenda for the marketplace. Let God be your CEO! God's plan is not just for Church but also for the marketplace. And we need to get in business with God. He has a purpose for businessperson and all those in the marketplace. We must be about our Father's business, not just in the church but also in the marketplace. Our Lord Jesus Christ was a businessman before entering into full time ministry. Most of the disciples were businessmen before they were called into the Apostolic. Even in book of Acts Paul had business that helped to support his ministry. Luke was a doctor and there were many others. Even in the Old Testament, there were many who were in business before God called them. Yes many who were called into the Prophetic were businessmen before their ministry. God has a purpose for each one of us and he gave each one gifts and places us in his body. Well God has call for businessperson. God is also calling people into business and he is also calling those who are already in business. God wants to impact to the marketplace. He wants the Church to be extended to the marketplace. Their kingdom mandate is coming forth from Heaven in the marketplace. God wants to be in business through you on earth. There are many of you who are called to the marketplace to impart God's light and grace to them. Those who are already in the marketplace should connect with God. This is a lifetime deal that could change your life and the Holy Spirit would keep on knocking the door of your heart. This is a time of favorable circumstance; a divine moment of time and occasion for the tide is ripe. 2. Business People In The Bible Most of the Great Bible People whom God used were ether workplace or business people. The ideal that comes to my mind is that God use business peoples a lot more then we think so. God has a plan for business people in His church today. His Church is a marketplace Church and it is time for the church to be planted in the marketplace and it is time for the marketplace to be planted in the Church. Adam was a caretaker of the Garden of Eden. Abel was a keeper of the sheep. Noah was a carpenter. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob were all shepherds. Joseph was the financial minister in Egypt. Moses was head office in army of Egypt, and then he was a shepherd, and then was lead his people out of Egypt. Joshua was the commander of his people. David was a shepherd, then a commander in Israel's army, and then he was a politician, a king. Nehemiah was appoint governor and in change of building the wall. Esther was a queen. Job was wealthy man. Daniel was a council and adviser to kings. Amos was a farmer. Jesus Christ our Lord was a carpenter. Peter, Andrew his brother, James and John the sons of Zebedee, were all fishermen and Matthew was a tax collector. Barnabas was landowner. Paul, Aquila, and Priscilla were tentmakers. Bezalel was filled with the Spirit of God, in wisdom and understanding, in knowledge and all manner of workmanship. Bezalel and Aholiah, and every gifted artisan in whom the Lord has put wisdom and understanding, to know how to do all manner of work for the service of the sanctuary. Ex. 35:31, 36:1. God anointed these people to do all manner of work for the house of the Lord. Today God is going to do even this greater among us. However, the Church is not just in the four walls, it is in your marketplace in your workplace. John the Baptist was born in the house of priest. Jesus was born in the house of a carpenter; Jesus chosen twelve apostles who were businessmen, and these twelve apostles chosen seven Spirit-Filled Businessmen. 3. Called Into Business Every one wants to be a pastor, or be a teacher and we look at those who minister the Word to us within the four walls of the local church, and we say they are more spiritual; they are in full time ministry; we say they are doing God's will more; and we say they are more in turn with God then me. In addition, we look at our workplace or business as a means to something instead of seeing that you to are in ministry. Every believer has a gift. Every believer is called a priest. Every believer is a king. Every believer is in ministry. Every believer has a holy calling. Just as God calls those to ministry behind the pulpit moreover, God also calls people into business. God needs businesspersons for his kingdom work. God is calling a great number among us into business. The seven Spirit-filled chosen men to appoint over the business of the Church in Acts six were Spirit-Filled Business Men. They were men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit, full of wisdom, and full of faith. This sounds like they are called to the pulpit ministry however, they were called to take care of the business in the church for they were anointed businessmen. Moreover, just has God appointed seven businessmen he wills to call many of you into business! Your business is a ministry and is a kingdom business when you work for God. Sometime people who have holy zeal for the things of God orther people may think they are called into vocation ministry, but you have a burning heart for business. There are those called into vocation ministry and those called into workplace ministry and above that there are those called into both. Furthermore, God used businesspersons throughout the Bible to do his will. This is the time of the restoration of the workplace minister. 4. Back To The World Many of you have believed a lie. Many of you don't think your business is spiritual. Many of you don't think your workplace is spiritual. Many of you have believed that financial blessings are not spiritual. This will hinder you from the blessings of the Lord in your life. It is time for your mindset to be change. It is time that you no longer think you're not in the perfect will of God. It is time for you to no longer look at the pastor and say you are more spiritual then me. Every spiritual blessing in Christ means every blessing Christ has giving you through his Blood and grace. The only things you need to do are having faith and apply these wonderful blessings to your life and business. In addition, many of you have been lie to in order for them to take away from you the blessings and the witness, which you are called to be in. Some of you believe that you are to stay out of the world, and that more you're in the world the less spiritual you are. This is a lie. You can be holy and in the World doing the will of God among sinners. You can be set apart and be in the company of sinners in your business. It is true that we are not of the World but the world is out harvest and ministry. When Jesus said you are not of the world, he is not saying to avoid the world. At the same time He is sending us out into the world to be a witness for him. When Paul said that you are not to be unequally yoked is not talking about friends in the world or people in your workplace. It is saying about marriage and that you can't be a Christian and be apart of a false religion. Those who are among us have used these misapplied Scriptures to keep you from your harvest. Jn. 17:14-18, 2 Cor. 6:14-18. The Word says, "the Kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!" Rev. 11:15. Moreover, The Word says, "and made us kings and priests to our God; and we shall reign on Earth." We will reign with Christ on Earth now. There is a modern day application of the Word! Rev. 5:10. Therefore the Word says blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the Earth. The Earth is the new promise land. We are called to possess the kingdoms of this world to become Kingdoms of our God and we shall reign through Him on Earth in this day. Matt. 5:5, Psa. 37:11. At the same time as we have inherit the Earth, we shall receive the Kingdom of God, for the Word says "come you blessed of my Father inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. Matt. 25:34 If we are going to inherit the Kingdom should we not work on what Christ has already giving us here on Earth? The Earth is too our inheritance. It is the new promise land. Let us go and possess it. Your harvest is not in the four walls but outside of the four walls. We just go the four walls for unity, fellowship, and equipping. Let us learn vital strategies and tactics through revelation that come through prayer. Let us ask wisdom from God for our business. The kingdom strategy is kings and priests. In Revelation chapter 1:5,6 & 5:9-11 gives us the revelation to move forth. There are those who are priests, which is every one called to minister in the house of the Lord. Then there is those called to be kings, which is everyone called to minister outside of the house of the Lord. These two offices must work together and walk in order, and come into connection and relationship with one another. This is a Kingdom Strategy! Apart from that, we are all Kings and Priests. Moreover, the Church is a royal priesthood. Every one has a ministry, everyone has a gift, but every one is not called to minister in the four walls. Royal priesthood means kingly priesthood! The Church is not a religion but a Kingdom of Kings and Priests! 1 Pet. 2:5-9, 4:10. However, if you want to be his disciple you must deny yourself and take up your cross, and follow Christ! This goes for those who are in business! If you gain this world and lose your soul what then is the profit? Let us set our priorities right. Furthermore, it is time for us to get back to the world again. He has giving us the gift of righteousness and we will reign in this life through him. Rom 5:17. If we endure through the trials, we shall also reign with him. 2 Tim. 2:12. He has called us to be kings and to reign on Earth. We will reign through Him. The Kingdoms of this world shall become the kingdoms of Christ and he shall reign on Earth. If we are with him, we also will reign with him. Let us get his plans, and will for our lives and businesses. 5. Moses People The Spirit and Power of Elijah are coming upon the church in great ways that has not yet been known by man or the church. The Church will become Elijah people. Those who have holy passionate extreme devotion to Christ will come forth as a new church birth by the true apostolic and prophetic. In addition, the Moses people will arise and enter into the world, workplace, city life, government and the marketplace. To them the new promise land is the world waiting for them to take hold of and be giving over to the Lord by their acts of faith. Nevertheless, there are those in the body who are partakes of the cup of devils while they drink of the cup of the Lord. These certain members who are in the iniquity of religion and idolatry their churches have become a churches of confusion with broken walls open to the devil games. Every house is shut up, so that none may go in. There is no place for apostles, prophets, evangelists, workplace and marketplace ministers and no place for businessmen to come into covenant relationship. There are many believers seated in the pews of iniquity while the gifts are being neglected, if you neglect God's gifts in you, therefore you neglect the Gift Giver. There are many gates of the Lord shut up among these churches, such as the gates of salvation so that many souls cannot come to the Lord. See Isa. 24:10. However, we are set apart from the kingdom of darkness not the world. The burning bush experience will happen to many workplace, marketplace Christians, and businesspersons. The new Egypt is the churches of confusion and the new promise land is the workplace, marketplace, government, business, etc. There is coming a great Exodus from the church of confusion to the marketplace the new promise land. Furthermore, it is time for laypersons to be saints, businesspersons to be about our Father's business and the kingdoms of this world to become the kingdoms of Christ through our hands. 6. New Promiseland The land of Canaan is a type of the believer's inheritance. Joshua was been commanded to possess the land of Canaan. Today the new promise land is the Earth. Workplace Christians are called to move forth in the kingly anointing to possess the kingdoms of this World. The word say; "Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have giving you." Josh. 1:3. We as workplace Christians are called to step forth in a visionary leading toward the marketplace centers of our cities and nations. Christ has called us to be the head in everything in this world. Deut. 11:24-25. We are called to possess the land of hills and valleys, which drink water from the rain of heaven. For we are called to a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out valleys and hills; "a land of wheat and barley, of vines, and fig tress and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey; "a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack nothing; a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills you can dig copper. Deut. 8:7-10. The new promiseland is the Earth. However, it is the Lord who will send his fear before you, He will cause confusion among all the people to whom you come, and will make all your enemies turn their backs to you. In addition, the Lord will send before you; " hornets that will drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittites from before you. Moreover the Lord says; "I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate and the beasts of the field become too numerous for you. "Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased, and you inherit the land. This is what Christ will do through his workplace army to possess the kingdoms of this world. Ex. 23:27-30. It says for God so love this world that He give his only begotten Son. His blood paid and redeems the Kingdoms of man to our Christ and we are called to carry out this drive work of taking back what Christ paid for. Jn. 3:16. It says blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the Earth. There is a modern day application of this truth. We shall delight ourselves in the abundance of peace. Matt. 5:5, Psa. 37:11. It says to us that the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord Jesus Christ, and He shall reign forever, and ever!" We shall also reign with him not only in the future instead in the now. We are called to possess these kingdoms of this world to become the kingdoms of our Christ and we shall reign with him in the now. Rev. 11:15, 1:6, 5:10. We are kings and priests in Christ Jesus. The Church is a kingdom of kings and priests. We are a kingly priesthood called to reign on earth. 1 Pet. 2:5,9. The Lord God has giving us the power to get wealth for the reason to establish his covenant, his kingdom, his church on Earth. Deut. 8:18. We are called to possess the gate of our enemies. Gen. 22:17. God in his will allowed evil men to gain wealth throughout history for a time that is coming upon us. He allowed them to manger this wealth for those who this wealth is for. This is the time that this wealth is for. God has giving us this wealth which others have gain for us. These businesses, these companies, these corporations are establish and gain wealth through other for the day that these businesses will be giving over to the workplace saints. Furthermore, This world is for us, which is redeem by the Blood of the Land. We are kings of His Kingdom chosen to possess this world for our Lord. 7. Business Ideal They're many among us who have ideals for business. It is time to write down your business ideal or ideals. It is time for you instead of having a resume ready for employment you better have a business plan. One of the first steps is having a business plan for your business ideals. Well you may say you have no plans to go into business for a while. However, you need to always have a business plan and your business ideals written down. The word says write the vision. There will be many inspired business leaders rising up within our Local Churches. The Local Churches must have a ministry for them or they will lose them in addition, The Lord will rise up companies of business people around the Body of Christ. Today there will be many inspired Businesspersons and inspired business ideals. Moreover, many will have blue prints giving to you from the Holy Spirit. Some will get them through dreams and others will get them through visions in the day. The key here is when you dream or pray and get something like an ideal for business write it down. Don't overlook any business ideal you have. Keep tack of them, you may not use some of them for a while but they will come in need in time. This is the day that Holy Spirit is planting seeds of business in us. Beside, there will be many waves of witty inventions, ideals, blue prints and business plans coming to Christian businesspersons. This is a day of new inventions that the world could not have. Yes the Lord moved between the World to help them world move forth and this is God to them. However, he is Lord to us! If you looked through history and even now some names are coming up. Most of these people were not Christians. This is what you call God's work in the World. Now the Christian businesspersons are going to have more ideals, more blue prints and more inventions that we will out number those in the world. There will be more millionaires and billionaires in the Church then in the World in coming days. How do you get these witty inventions? You get these witty inventions from the throne room of God! Apart from that, Noah was a businessman who was giving a business ideal, who was giving a blue print. He did something and builds something that was never done before. He becomes rich through his business ideal. Not only that he become the richest person in the world in addition, the Lord protected his blue print from others having, this is what you call divine protection of ideals. However, in the beginning and during his making of this business ideal he had no supportive words or eyes on him. It took him years to build his ideal. He obeys God in this business ideal. God not only blessed him with the world, God bless his children. This is a type of what God will do today. The same God that gives Noah his business ideal is the same God today that will give you your business ideal. Furthermore, many of you as your hearing and reading this article you heart begun to burn. At this time if you can receive an impartation of grace and anointing for your business. Not only that but a grace to be open, understand and receive business ideals from God. I see a window opening up over you pouring ideals upon you. Asks your Father in Heaven for business ideals, blue prints, inventions and business plans. 8. Revelation Business Many are being called into business! Many who are in business are being lead into a new day of business. The Lord is looking among the World and looking among his Church to rise up a new breed of servants among his people they are business servants for the Kingdom. You may not know how to do business, but you have desires, which are divine. You may have not been to Business College? God is giving a grace, a supernatural ability and an anointing to do business. It is time for you to move forth from the walk in the natural of business and move into revelation in your business. God wants you to be as a babe before him. God wants you to say teach me to do business the way you do business Lord. God wants to teach you to do business the way he does business. It is time for your mindset to be change. It is time for the shift in your business. It is time for your business to become your ministry. It is time for your business to be a Kingdom Business. Noah a businessman who walks most of his life in the natural then one day the Lord said to him and gives him a business ideal. He then obeys the Lord. Noah moved from the natural in his business to the revelation in his business. It becomes a business of revelation. It becomes revelation business. Don't say your too set in your ways for change. God will use the gifts of the Spirits in your business to make you profit and to touch those around you. God will give you vision and dreams for your business. God can give you blueprints and ideals. God will speak and lead you in your business. Many of the Bible Heroes were businessmen! The only thing you must do is walk with God! In my personal life I never had the ideal of business for myself. However, one day the Lord places this ideal in my heart. I never did business before then. After that I went to a book stone to find some good books on business. There were sure many good books on business and a few of them were written from Christians Businesspersons. As I looked at those books; "The Lord said to me I would teach you to do business the way I do business". From the day forth I began to flow in revelation about business. 9. Blue Prints God called Noah and showed him how to build the ark. God gave him blue prints and God can do the same for us. God spoke to Joseph in dreams and God will speak to us. God show Moses how to build the Tabernacle and he will show us things of how to do them. God gave Daniel dreams and he will do the same for us. God gave Peter a vision of a man that he was to network with. This is the day of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the business and marketplace. God can speak to us through visions or dreams. The Prophetic is not just for the Local Church but also for the marketplace. The Spiritual gifts are not only for the use of the Local Church but also for the marketplace. The Leading of Spirit is not only for those who are in the pulpit Ministry but also for all Sons of God in Christ the only begotten. The supernatural in Christ is not just for the Local Church but also for the marketplace. When Christ enter us Heaven enter too. I have known and heard of Businesspersons who have dreams about business and business plans while they are sleeping. Also, they will get blue prints through Holy Spirit dreams. One Local Church that I know of almost every member in that small local church has a business. And most of them got it through revelation. And those Church members have been faithful in supporting their Pastor to go to Nations. It is time for Business to advance in our lives. But first our minds need to be renewed and we need to get connected to those that we are called to support. This time is the release of the kings. And we need to connect with those kings. Kings are for provision. And Priests are for vision. God use us to bring in the provision for the Priests and the Priests are to release the kings through laying of hands and releasing of their vision to the kings. Believe God and pray for Him to guide you in business. Let God be your CEO. Ask him for wisdom and believe for the supernatural to happen. Ask him for business plans and blue prints and ideals. God is also in business and he wants you to be one of his partners. 10. Righteous Businessmen When we look at the righteous men in the Bible, it always talks about the righteous. Almost all of them were in the marketplace. And most of then were in business. In addition most of them were financially well off than others. This tells us how it is God's will for us to be in the marketplace. Blessed is the man who fears God. You can see in Psalm 122 & 128 that those who fear God are blessed. Those men are men in the marketplace and most are in business. It says he will eat the labor of his hands. In addition he will guide his affair with discretion. Moreover wealth and riches will be in his house. Furthermore he deals graciously and leads. Beside he is willing to give unto the poor. Apart from that his wife is a fruitful vine; she is heart of his house. Hiss Christian is like olive plants all around his table. His descendants will be mighty on the earth. Also he is gracious, and full of compassion and righteous. Beside, he will never be afraid of evil tidings or his enemies. In addition, he will be in lasting remembrance among the people. Why is this you may ask? He fears the Lord and delights greatly in the doing the Word, not just hearing only. In addition, not only he fears God but also he fears God in all his ways. "Behold, thus shall the man be blessed who fears the Lord." Psalm 128:4 Nevertheless, many businessmen and those in marketplace don't follow the ways of the Lord. This also goes for Christians in the marketplace. We must change for better. If we don't change our ways in business and the marketplace, we will not see the blessings of those God. God will not move in the marketplace if you don't fear God and fear him in all of your ways. Today, God is speaking about the lifestyle of godly businessmen and all Christians in the marketplace. 11. Business Women Many women minister to Jesus with their substance. Today and in the past, there are many women who help in the local Church and ministry. There are many women intercessors in the Church. God use women in the same way as he uses men. In the past and even today there are more women who obey God than men. One reason is because those women have humility. It seems that men find it hard to humble them before God. Yet we have held women back so long in ministry when there have been found faithful in the eyes of the Lord. And even many businesswomen have been held back by men, for reason they are perceived as ignorant among men. Among the fortune five hundred clubs, very little are women CEO. If you look around the world, you will see that those nations who keep women back cannot really prosper. If you want prosperity, you should free the women. This is one of the keys to National prosperity for any Nation. God has anoint women to do business just has he anointed men to do business. I believe that the Lord is saying to us that in this generation there shall be many successful businesswomen. Within the Church, there shall arise women who are anointed to do business and they shall go forth into the lands of the marketplace. God fearing Christian Women are called to reign and rule in every area of the marketplace. The Virtuous women are gifted in business. It says that her works--"business" shall be praised in the gates. Gates mean places of authority and God also called God-fearing women in those places. When women go into the marketplace, there is no lack of gain. Virtuous women are like merchant ships. She will walk in the wisdom of God and they are known to consider and perceive the matters of business carefully. She is one who brings profits from vineyards. Most things that listed about virtuous women are about matters of business. As women in Jesus' day minister to him in their substance, there shall be many who raise up to aid those in ministry. Many ministries will not move forth without the gifted businesswomen who obey God in business and minister through their substance. Mary Magdalene was a businesswoman and later she was an Apostle, Prophet and even an evangelist. And Lydia of Philippi was a business woman who was the one opened the door to the city of Philippi and also she was one of those among churches at Philippi that support Paul's ministry faithfully. The churches at Philippi are known as the churches, which give and support Paul faithfully more than other churches. 12. Virtuous Women Among major companies and even in most companies, there is so few Women CEO's. This is going to change. God has anointed women in the Church for business. We will see many businesswomen arising from our churches bringing provision into the house of the Lord. And we need to honor them for their faith and stand for them. The Virtuous woman in Proverbs 31 is a businesswoman. So this leads me to say that businesswomen are virtuous women. In addition before you can be a virtuous wife, you must first be a virtuous woman. Moreover most of things mentioned in Proverbs 31 about the virtuous woman are talking about business. She had her own business. In the American Heritage Dictionary, 'virtuous' means: having 1. Having or showing virtue, esp. moral excellence, 2. Chaste; pure. The word virtue means: 1. Moral excellence and righteousness; goodness. b. An example or kind of moral excellence. 2. Chastity, esp. in a woman. 3. A particularly efficacious or beneficial quality; advantage. 4. Effective forces or power. However, if you are not a person showing virtue in business, then you are not a virtuous person. God is looking for God-fearing Christian ladies to minister in the marketplace. What coming down the line is a radical and beyond control of a move of God in the hearts of cities which is the marketplace. And we need to position ourselves and renew our thinking so that we can have God's power to get wealth channeling through us to impart the marketplace and our cities and nations. But if we don't have the right morals, we will not be able to stand in all coming wealth. Virtuous women in hands of God shall be a force of virtue in the marketplace. Nevertheless without virtuous women, there will not be virtuous businesses. And God wants to create many virtuous businesses to bring provision into the house of God. 13. Business Family Many of us are anointed for doing Business. And so our families are anointed for doing business too; for when God anoints, he doesn't just anoint one person to do it alone, but he anoints others who stand with him too. When he anoints you, he also anoints your family. You can see in the Bible when God anoints, he anoints your seed too. In Psalm 112 & 128 it talk about the blessings upon a man who fears the Lord. These blessings are not his alone but also his family. For the Lord blesses the head of the Just and therefore those blessings pour down from your head upon your whole family. You children are a heritage from the Lord. Our children are called to be warriors in our hands. They are called to speak with their enemies in the gate. A gate means a place of authority. When God anointed you, he anointed your children. If you obey God and have been faithful, your children will have double portion, for anointing and the blessing increase upon every generation of your seed. Not only we are to leave an inheritance to our children's children, but also we should lead a life of righteousness and faithfulness toward our God. Not only that, we are to leave them the anointing and blessing of the Lord. The Proverbs 31 Wife is a virtuous wife, and a businesswoman. Husbands, many of our wives' are called to business. They can make a lot of money and fulfill their purpose in the Lord. Still today many wives feel unfulfilled in their lives. For one reason their husbands have held them back. Today I would like you to say to your wife, ' I will no longer hold you back from your purpose or calling and I will love you and support you in your plans.' Husbands and wives can walk together as business partners in owning their own business and to make their family a business family. If we can walk in unity in the home, we can walk together in unity in business. God is calling many God fearing Christian families into business. Where there is a king, there is also a Queen in business. And where there are a king and queen, there are princes and princesses. 14. Kingdom Finance Kingdom Finance is God giving you money by the hand of the wicked and the righteous. God is making you His broker to invest in God's interest. The bible says in Prov 13:22, "but the world of sinner is stored up for the righteous." God will use the wrenched sinner to help advance the kingdom of God on earth. Just think before you have a plan to go to the nations, God has already provided the necessary finances through the hands of the wicked. Just think God allow these people who know not God to become rich and wealthy and to manage God's money for a time until you line up yourself with God's will. In Isa 60:5, "the wealth of the Gentile shall come to you." We can see here that we do need to hire a fund-raiser consultant to help us raise money for our ministry. We just have to be filled with God's glory and have God's glory rested upon us. For this wealth to come, the blessings will come to pursue and overtake us. Kingdom Finance will come like waves, but with each wave, there will be an empowerment of grace to give us the ability to harness for God's purpose. Kingdom Finance is not coming to everyone. In order for you to have Kingdom Finance, you must know the Father's business and you must be willing to do His business. See, we need to have plans, not our plans but plans that have been inspired through hours of prayers. God is going to give Kingdom Finance to those who have His plans. We are entering into a new day. When we don't have time to get on to the TV or send out letters, asking people for financial supports. For the ministry is too big and too consuming to waste our time in asking for financial support. Anyways, those who have been asked and those who are your covenant partners can never reach the financial demands of apostolic ministry. Pastors have Pastoral Provision to meet the needs of their ministry. Evangelists have Evangelistic Provision to meet the needs of their ministry. But the Apostles have Apostolic Provision to meet the needs of their ministry. For not only they have to finance the local church and the ministry, but also they have to network training centers, church planning campaigns and the harvest field God has commissioned them to. God knew beforehand those He will entrust kingdom finance to. So He began to prepare them long time before the release that is coming now. He has adjusted the temperance of their minds. He has rooted the hearts and minds in the fear of the Lord. So they will not be caught up in greed or the love of money. 15. Divine Connection Divine Connection between the Kings and the Priests is important for releasing of the kings and setting the priests free to minister in the house of the Lord. A divine connection is a Cornelius connection and Lydia connection. A divine connection is a covenant relationship. The Priests must be trustworthy with provision that comes into house of the Lord. They must show that they can be trusted with such provision. There must be open communication between the kings and priests about the provision that come through the kings for the house of the Lord. There must be financial accountability in the house of the Lord. We need trustworthy and God fearing treasurers, bookkeepers and accountants in the house of the Lord. The giving in the house of the Lord can't be: 1. Not for dishonest gain. 2. Not grudgingly. 3. Of necessity. 4. Not out of greedy of money. We are giving in faith; we are giving by grace; and we give according to vision. We support the Priests who minister to the Lord. We support the house of the Lord; we are to support the advance of the Kingdom worldwide. Where there is vision there is provision. We as Kings must connect to those with vision. We must give to vision. To each house of the Lord, there are giving Priests and Kings. The Kings are for Provision and the Priests are for vision. When God raise up ministry or local church, he also raise up kings, for where there is vision there is provision. Kings must come to the knowledge that one reason God raise you up is to bring the spoil into the house of the Lord. Kings should not rule or control others through the spoil given them in battle. They will not have won until they provide for the vision of the Priests behind them. The spoil is for the house of the Lord. For through kings, comes provision for the vision. Priests should not beg for provision but are to expect it. But Kings should be honored but not receiving partiality over others. We need to understand and study more about relationship between the kings and the priests. 16. Vision Equals Provision Finances have been the limitation of churches and ministries. Financial limitation is not God's will. The Church in Acts was not limited by financial needs. The Church in Acts was not without Apostles. Also they believe in hearing the voice of God. Most pastors can't hear the voice of God. In order to have supernatural resources, you need to hear God and pray. How many Churches would pray? In addition, according to your faith, it shall be done unto you. Whatever things you have faith of, you will have what you desire. If your faith is of no resources, you will not have them. Moreover how many churches are vision driven. Are you on a mission for God? Why should any connect to a person who has no vision? Is your vision from God or it the plan for the month? Without vision you will fail. Without vision your people will fail. You as the pastor or overseer are set visionary and your vision is a corporative vision. And through the vision God's kingdom comes into lives of those who rise up to stand with you. Remember if your vision is not by the Lord there will no anointing. God is looking for vision-driven pastors and a vision-driven people. Your congregation is called to stand with you. Whoever is in covenant relationship with you, will remain and walk in agreement and unity to run with the vision. In addition, those who plugged in with your vision will be blessed along with you. Blessings flow with vision. Your congregation needs to be plugged in and prosper! Connecting to a company is embracing the spiritual significance and biblical basis for the Local Church. Each member must find their place and embrace their position. Your congregation must be empowered through the Word and the Spirit to go out to the marketplace. They are kings and gifted people in your church. Where there is vision there is provision. You have the vision and they have the provision. The kings must rise up and be sent out. Let us no longer hold them back. Many Church Leaders have been blind and can't see the gifts and calling in their people. This will hinder provision for the vision. Moreover not everyone in your church is called to minister within the four walls. Therefore we must be set free and empowered to go forth into marketplace. Your church may be their place for gathering but not for their ministry. Among many Churches and ministries, God has called for kings to go to war and bring back home the spoils. Kings should look for vision-driven pastors and leaders in order to connect to. And when there are visions, the kings will find them and make connection to them. Without vision there is no provision. When God gives you a vision, you have already made way for the provision. He is Jehovah-Jireh your provider, who has foreseen your needs before you had those needs. He has foreseen your vision and made provision for you and your vision. He is El-Shaddai and is God more than enough. He is the Lord of Sabaoth and he will provide for your financial resources. Where there is vision there is provision. With vision comes provision. When a vision is given, the provision has already been set aside. To have provision you must pro-vision for God's vision for you life. 17. Kings & Priests The relationship between kings and priests must be established in order to see the coming release of God's power upon the marketplace. The connections must be made and they need to be divine and not out of man. We need to come into covenant with each other and through covenant relationship. In addition, we need to understand the relationships between the roles of kings and priests. The kings are for war, provision, and advancement. They are called to bring provision into the house of the Lord. They go out into battle and war and bring home the soil. The king's places are outside of the four walls of the Church. The priests are for vision, ministry, and impartation to the kings in battle. They are called to minister unto the Lord in the house of the Lord. Their ministry is within the four walls of the Church. The priests bring release and blessing unto the kings in battle. Who are the priests and kings? Not only the priests should do the pupil ministry, but also all Christians who are called to minister in the four walls of the Church. Moreover, the kings are called to minister outside of the four walls of the church. Furthermore, the kings should not control the priests and the priests should not control the kings. The kings come to the house of the Lord in order to bring provision while the priests should bless the kings who are in the battleground. But the kings should not control the house of the Lord while the priests should not control the battlegrounds. Where there is vision there is provision! The kings are for provision and the priests are for vision. And where there our priests you also find kings in their midst. They go hand in hand and they need one other. So say to you priests, pray for kings to rise up and be sent out. You kings, pray for priests to rise up so that you can connect to them. Through the relationship of kings and priests, there is power and release in the Church and the Marketplace. 18. Primary Functions Marketplace Christians are the keys to healing the hearts of cities. The heart of City is the Marketplace. Marketplace is Business, Government, Education and Media and through these we can transform our Cities for the Glory of Christ. Social Transformation is high on God's agenda for this agenda; the chief catalytic force is marketplace Christian in the marketplace. The marketplace Christians are on the finger of God's pulse. The primary purpose of marketplace Christians is to establish his church and kingdom. In addition, that through them Christ will rule and reign in the marketplace. Moreover, Christians are called to rule and reign in every area in the world. Most Clergy believe that the primary role of marketplace Christians is to make money to support the vision of those "in the ministry." However, Marketplace Christians' ministry is in the marketplace. There need to be reconciliation between the marketplace Christians, marketplace ministers and the vocation ministers and those who are called as ministers in the four walls. It is not that revival will not come to our local churches, or that God will not visit the house of the Lord---Which he will always do however he will visit and burden day and night but commission us there to go out in the marketplace. If we don't obey the marketplace commission we will only have revival in the four walls and not our cities. What are the primary functions for marketplace Christians in the Marketplace? I list them in the most important order but they do not limit to this list of functions. 1. Establishing the kingdom of God in the marketplace and the World. 2. City Transformation and societal transformation in our city and our society. 3. Influence in the marketplace in order to change the world. 4. Solving the problems of society. 5. Healing the heart of City, the marketplace, to heal our city. 6. Our Lord Jesus rules and reigns through us in the marketplace. 7. Our ministry is in the marketplace. 8. Financial recourses for Five-Fold Ministry and house of the Lord. 9. Lifting the lives of those who are going through economy hardship. A. Especially those who are in the household of faith. B. Help those suffering in the cities. 10. To increase profit and to profitable marketplace Christian. Let me tell you my testimony and calling in the marketplace. I personally have duel anointing. I am called to be Apostle in the Church and I am called to king in business. When God release me into the office of the Apostle, he also give me a kingly anointing for business. He said if I will build His kingdom he would build my kingdom. Of course everything I have entrusted from God and I am steward and God owns everything he has given me. If I am faithful with these minas I will rule over cities. Then I begin to be led to study from the Word on business. I remember when my wife and I went into book store and when we looked at books written about business as I looked at some of them, God said "I will teach you do business the way I do business" God will teach me do business God's way! After that he began to give me more revelation on business, then I was led to join a marketplace prayer ministry in city which a group of businesspersons and marketplace Christians coming together to pray for the marketplace. Then one businessperson said he has read ED Silvoso Book "Anointed For Business." So when I order this book on the Internet and once got it, I read it within three days and this book changed my life. Since reading that book, it has become a landmark for the near future destiny. Beside, God lead me to add to Supplication International Ministry, a branch of S.I.M. We call it "Marketplace Church" An online recourse center for marketplace Christians. My wife and I have been anointed not only for ministry but also for business for glory of Christ. You are anointed for business and you marketplace Christians are being commissioned such as time like this. We need to listen and renew our thinking to community thinking and see our ministry in the marketplace. Our commission is fourfold which are blessing, fellowship, and proclamation in the marketplace. This is according to Luke 10:1-12. To marketplace Christian worship is work! 19. Rule Over Cities Saints we are destined to rule over cities. This is the blessing of the meek of the earth. The earth is our inheritance. Christ Jesus is redeeming Earth for the meek of the Earth, the Saints. The kingdoms of this earth will become the Kingdoms of our God. The transitioning stones are apostolic, saints, marketplace Christians, and City transformation. God has called us to possess the kingdoms of the world. The great commission is the commission to possess and disciple the nations. Marketplace Christian are called to bless, fellowship, care and do proclamation to all sinners in the marketplace. God has given us influence in the business and the marketplace to change and transform the heart of our cities, which is the marketplace. The marketplace is business, government, education, and media. Moreover, we are called to be friends to sinners in the marketplace. Jesus Christ eats with the extorioners, unjust, adulterers, and even the tax collector in the marketplace. Jesus sat in the heart of the city the marketplace. I see this as a marketplace city conference. You should write down the ones you work with, write down about seven names and then began to pray for them and began to become their friends and after a while their heart will open so then you share Jesus with them. I recall a time when I was led to be friends to sinners at a college. God gave me a dream. In this dream I was to pastor sinners just as I have pastor saints in the past. I obey the dream from God. I began to pray and become their friends and their hearts open up to me, and I then share the Word with them. And they were asking for prayer. You can do this in your life and business. We can be friends to sinners and still live a godly life. People listen more after they learn to trust you. This opens the door for you to share with them. God has a plan for the nobles, businesspersons and the wealthy. It is very possible for them to come to know the Lord and become a godly influence in the marketplace and the city. The kingdom of God will come through entering their eyes; God will give vision to them that in turn will aid in establishing the Kingdom of God in our cities. God loves Bartimaeus who is going through financial hardship and with that same love he loves Zecchahaeus who is very wealthy person. However, many would think that the wealthy have no needs or wants. And some will even dislike those who are better off in society. God has a plan for the wealthy. The Church needs to repent of any strong prejudice against the rich. So they will be your comrades in the work of ministry. The poor is rich in faith and the rich have the wealth. God's will is bring reconciliation between the rich and the power, which in turn will be a great impact in their city to bring city transformation and to heal our cities. Beside, this God will use marketplace Christians, businessperson and the wealthy in establishing his kingdom not just in one city but also in many cities all over the world. If we are faithful with the minas we will rule over cities. This is how marketplace Kings are going to rule over cities in this age and the next age. The steps in ruling over cities can found in Luke 19:11-27. We can apply these to our life and business in the marketplace. 1. The nobleman's servants prospered in business, even through his enemies has usurped the kingdom. 2. The nobleman gave his servants authority over cities in direct proportion to the return on their investment. 3. The nobleman did not destroy his enemies until he had placed his servants over cities. These are the three keys for marketplace Christian Kings and Marketplace Christian can apply and rule over cities in our age. In addition, there is modern day application in these three keys that can rule over our cities today. 20. End Time Marketplace At this time The Lord is moving the Church into the marketplace. The marketplace is business, government, education, and media. God is building a bridge between the marketplace and the church that the wealth of the sinner many continue to flow in. God is anointing many to move forth into the marketplace. God is anointing many to move forth in business. There are those in fulltime ministry that were also be called to the marketplace, but now they shall obey. Many ministries are not in the church but in the marketplace. Today God is building his church in the marketplace for the end time financial support of the end time church. Creating wealth for the Church of today and creating abundant supply for the last day church. Christ will use business and the marketplace as one of the doorways to setup his kingdom on earth during the end times. The Kingdom of God would not come at once but through many steps, which one of those steps is Jesus Christ's second coming. In Luke 19:11-27 speaks to us about the ends time business in the marketplace that Christians will be doing. It says that the Kingdom of God will not come only to one city but many through the hands of those Christians in business. See Christ his businesspersons he give minas to do business with, and through interest of the minas will appoint them to rule over cities. One who has made more interest will rule over more cities. God wants to raise us up to rule over cities and then he deal with his enemies. Moreover, Christians are to enter into the marketplace is one thing must be done in order to have end time spiritual warfare. You can see that how Marketplace Apostles will be use in the end time church. And that today's marketplace apostles and today's marketplace Christians are laying the foundation for those to come. In addition, we can apply this to today's church and rule over our cities and get spiritual victory over spiritual darkness. 21. Leaders In Business What is breaking forth in today's Church is a marketplace movement. This marketplace Movement is the bridge that is being build between the Church and the marketplace. The marketplace is business, government, education, and the media. This marketplace movement will be in all of these parts of the marketplace. This bridge is being build for the transference of wealth from the markets to the church. This is one of the major steps in the process leading up the initial coming of the Kingdom of God. In addition, this is one of the greatest expansions of the Church in history. The rewards will be greater and the blessings will be greater then in the past happen in the church's history. The major merchant cities are where the gates of heaven will be place and the church will have its greatest influence in order to lurch it self into the fullness of the coming great harvests. The World is looking for leaders in business. There is a void of leadership in business world. God has made room for those whom he anoints to be leaders in the marketplace. The business world will get its leadership and vision from Christian Businesspersons. Leaders who will not only be leaders in their own circles, however they will be leaders to the whole of the marketplace, this is what the world needs today in order to go forth. These leaders will not be in it for money but for the greater good. They will be used by God to open new markets. They will be used by God to open the markets to many others to succeed in life. Each one another success is another man's gain. This will be the thinking of many up coming business leaders. Moreover, they will give vision to the marketplace; they will give wisdom and insight. They will set many free from the classes of society. They will bridge the gap between the rich and the poor. They will create a new class in society, one of honor and mercy. They will change the set standards of business. They will lay guidelines and standards that promote the business world along with those around it. They will be used to change laws and make new ones. They will be used to challenge the governemt and society. They will be used to stand up before the great and mighty and say you are not great or mighty, humble yourself for the greater has come. Furthermore, many will look up to them; many will come to learn from them. However, they will say I know nothing. God will bless them and their seed and their generations will last. And their inheritance will be foundation for many generations. In addition, their inheritance to their children will last to their generations. 22. Business Ordination There is a new flow of wealth and financial resources coming to the Body of Christ. Two of these waves are the wealth of the wicked and the wealth of Christian Businesspersons. However, every Local Church is not open or showing proper honor to those in Christian Businesspersons. Beside, every local church is not walking in vision. Without vision there is no provision. Many Kings in Business will leave their churches that don't honor them or have a place for them. Business Kings main purpose or function is first and foremost to establish the Kingdom of God in the Marketplace, which is the Heart of the City. Third is to use their influence in the Marketplace to change it. Then after that, they are to support the house of the Lord, which is the eighth in priority of function! Local Churches need to have ministry for their own businesspersons and for those called into business. In addition, they need a place for ministry that supports the Marketplace Christians which is every Christian in the Marketplace not just Business people. Moreover, you need to give place to business people when it comes to the affairs of business matters in the Church. God has place wisdom and anointing to deal with business matters in them. Apart from that, there needs to be a proper relationship between Pastors, office ministry, etc. and Business people. There is a need for reconciliation between office ministry and business people. The Spiritual Elders and Pastoral Leadership of a Local Church are to ordain businesspersons. The word appoints means ordain! The Seven men chosen in Acts Chapter Six was not deacons but Spirit-Filled Business Men! We are to do likewise in today's church. Seek out from among you. Businesspersons who are of good reputation. Those who are full of the Holy Spirit. Those who are full of the wisdom and full of faith. After that you are to have an ordination ceremony with the elders and pastoral leaders laying hands and ordaining them as kings in business. Along with that the body of the Local Church blessing and giving witness of this ceremony. Before you do that develop an application for business ordination for kings in business from the biblical criteria based in Acts 6. In addition, there should be training for those who want to be in business within the Local Church. Other trained Businesspersons will do this, which is apart of the Local Church Marketplace Ministries. Furthermore, this is a day that the Church must reach out to those among us in business and in the marketplace that are in the heart of the city, which is the marketplace. This will be done through Christian Businesspersons and Marketplace Christians. 23. Five Standards Today in the Church the body of Christ and this is the day of saints in the workplace. Our view of business and workplace is changing to our marketplace ministries. We are becoming co-labors with those who minister in the house of the Lord through our workplace and business ministry. Christ is bringing a unity and an order between the nuclear church and the extended church. What is the new standard for businesspersons and those in the workplace? It is God's plan for every businessperson and every workplace minister to walk in this standard of grace and the supernatural. In Acts Six we see these five standards for Christians in the extended church. Some of you would say how could I live up to such standards? If God is in you and in your life? If you believe in the things in Bible are for you and If you know your purpose in the Marketplace? You can in Him! We see today Christ is arising modern day apostles and prophets to be the modern day foundation for the church and the church that shall come in the end of days. Through these apostles will come a kingly anointing upon those in the marketplace. The apostolic will bring a true restoration of the kingly anointing. As it was in the days of old when the Lord through the prophet chose kings and after they were anointed they had this holy kingly anointing for their calling. These kings did not have this anointing before the anointing being poured on them. These kings did not have the anointing to war before the anointing was pour upon them. It shall be today when the anointing is pouring through the apostles and the prophets upon those called by God into a kingly ministry shall walk this anointing of kingly anointing for business. These Apostles chosen seven Spirit-filled businesspersons to ordain for business. These businesspersons had five standards. These five standards any Christian can walk in. Acts 6. These five standards for business are: 1. Seek out from among you. 2. A good reputation. 3. Full of the Holy Spirit. 4. Full of wisdom. 5. Full of faith. 1. Seek out from among you: We as businessperson and workplace Christians are to be connected to local churches. 2. Good reputation: You live a life of sound integrity not only in the church, also in the world, in your business and at home with your family. 3. Full of the Holy Spirit: you see so-called Spirit-filled churches however; there is not outward signs or wonders. To be Spirit-Filled is to walk in the manifestation of the Holy Spirit. 4. Full of wisdom: This is not only wisdom in business; it is also wisdom from God. It is wisdom in all areas. 5. Full of faith: do you have vision, do you walk in faith in your business. Can people see your faith? Above all of these, the word says to seek out from among you! God has those in and around, in your local churches ready to walk in this kingly anointing. Once when you see these standards and once when the kingly anointing is pour out upon those in business and those in the workplace we will see the signs and wonders that follow the first seven Spirit-filled businesspersons in Acts Six. Furthermore, These five standards are for every businessperson and every person in the workplace in Christ. You can, you must, apply and grow into these standards and in turn you will walk in more of the kingly anointing. You may walk in a little, however, once you grow into these standards you will walk in its fullness. 24. Kingly Anointing This is a time for the body of Christ to move in their priestly and kingly anointing in the Earth. We have a lot time to make up for the last years when we don't believe that we are kings and priest. The false belief of the division between the clergy and laity has kept us back from our rightful place in the Earth. Not only this lie has kept us back also certain mindsets of teachers have kept us back too. These lethal misbeliefs only serve the purpose of satan and those who love their own religious group. Beside, there are those who believe and teach the we our kings and priests in Christ with no true application of this truth. Rev. 1:5-6, 9-10. Christ's purpose for the Church is not to be another world religion instead to be an extended kingdom on the Earth. The Word says that that Church is a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, and a special people. We are a kingdom of Kings and Priests in Christ Jesus. 1 Pet. 2:9,5. The Church is a royal priesthood meaning a kingly priesthood. Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church. He is the High Priest of this holy priesthood. Every believer is a priest, every believer has a spiritual gift, every believer has a ministry, and every believer has a place in the Body of Christ. Therefore every believer has a priestly anointing in the Church. 1 Pet. 2:9,5. Jesus Christ is the King of Kings. We are a royal priesthood meaning a kingly priesthood! Every believer has a kingly anointing in the Church. It is Christ who has made us kings and priests and we shall reign with Christ on Earth. The Word says that with the gift of righteousness we will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. Rom. 5:17. Apart from that, I believe the millennium reign of Christ there will be a government made of two parts one will be the priesthood and the other will be the kingdom. Nevertheless, what is the application of kings and priest? What is the practical application to our every day life? This is my understanding of this application of kings and priests. There is the nuclear Church the place for the priestly ministry of the Body. The priestly anointing has three purposes: 1. To minister to the Lord; 2. To minister the Lord toward the people; 3. To bless the kings. The priestly ministry lives of the support of the kingly ministry. There is the extended Church the place of the kingly ministry of the Body. The kingly anointing has four purposes: 1. To establish the Kingdom of God; 2. To influence the Marketplace; 3. To protect the priesthood. 4. To support the house of the Lord. The kingly ministry lives of it's own support. In addition, ten percent of the ministry is done from the priestly ministry in the nuclear church. Ninety percent of the ministry is done from the kingly ministry in the extended church. Furthermore, it is a time to see the kings and priests arise. It is time to see the kings and priests movements in the Earth. 25. Saul & David Kings Saul and David are types of workplace kings of today. They are example for us and we need to learn from them what not to do and what to do. It is easy to learn what to do instead of learning what not to do. It is hard to learn what not to do. Samuel is a type of those who are calling forth the kingly anointing in the marketplace. They are the ones called by God to release the kings into their kingly ministries. They are those who are of the priestly ministry in the nuclear church whom God give them a vision of the marketplace Christians. Saul is a king in business who did great things for God however; he did not know the order of God. Saul disobeys God more then once. Saul is a type of those businesspersons who do not have proper relationship with the nuclear church. On the other hand there are priests in the nuclear church that have no place for you. In instead am talking about those who are the Samuel in the nuclear church, whom God raise up for the release of the kingly anointing. Yes I know Samuel was a prophet, he also was a priest. Saul type of businesspersons: 1. Does not know his place. 2. Try to act like a priest. 3. Does not wait upon the Lord. 4. Does not have an ear to the prophets. 5. Obeys the Lord when it is best for him. 6. Disobeys the Lord. 7. Controls the prophet and the priests. 8. Does not take responsibility for his actions. 9. Try to kill a young king. 10. Does not repent of his wrong doings. David is a type of businessperson who has the heart of God. He does the will of God in his generation. He waits upon the Lord. He has a hearing ear toward the prophets. He takes responsibility for his actions. He does not kill those kings before him. David type of businessperson: 1. Hears the voice of God. 2. Has a heart after God. 3. Known the Word. 4. Honors the Prophets and the priests. 5. Hearing ear toward the prophets. 6. Takes responsibility for his actions. 7. Repents of his sins and wrong doings. 8. He knows his place. 9. Obeys the Lord when it is not best for him. We all can be like Saul in business, and we all can be like David in business. God is restoring and reconciling a proper and in orderly relationship between those in the house of the Lord and those in the workplace. 26. Duel Anointing God is calling certain ministers not just to be in the five-fold ministry but also to walk in a business anointing. I call this duel anointing. Apostle Paul was tent maker and use the money earned as a tent maker to aid him and those with him in ministry. I believe this is year when we see a lot of ministers walking in business anointing, and this is year when many businessmen will be called into ministry. God is calling many who walk in duel anointing of ministry and business. Their business will be fruitful for God will bless that business in order to bring forth their ministry in the time of vision. There will be balance between their ministry and their business. There will be many ministers that will come into great riches in this year. God is making certain ministers rich. For time will come for harvest. And those ministers can't spend their time asking for money. And even if they did, cost of today's ministry cannot be met through asking but through supernatural intervention. Those ministers that will become rich, God has already made them ready for this time, in order to make balance between their business and their ministry. But also to free them up so that their true destiny will come forth in this hour. At the same time God use these ministers to sow seed into the harvest and to give to many ministries. 27. Marketplace Apostles What are Marketplace Apostles? Every Apostle has the gift of the Apostle. Each Apostle does not have the same ministry. Each apostle has differences of ministries but having the same gift. Each Apostle does not have the same activities. Each Apostle has diversities of activities. In the Gift of the Apostles are Ministries and in the Ministries are activities. A Marketplace Apostles provides the Leadership to the Marketplace by being a supernatural leader in certain field of marketplace anointing. Just like the Apostles in the four walls of the Church and ministry, there are the leader of leaders, so is the Marketplace Apostle to the Marketplace. Apostles along with Prophets in the marketplace lay the foundation for the marketplace Church. Apostles are Gatekeepers for the marketplace Church. Jesus gives the keys to new gates for marketplace to enter through. And they are the ones that open gates for the rest of those in the Marketplace Church to enter in. The Apostles in the Marketplace lead the way better then anyone in the World do things in the Marketplace. Apostles in the Marketplace are the leaders in building the bride from the Church to the Marketplace for the transference of wealth. The Marketplace Apostle is the one who leads the setting of the Church free from debt and he releases the much need in financial resources and other kinds of resources. The Lord often makes marketplace Apostles in order to carry out their ministry. Marketplace Apostles have the anointing to minister and live a holy life in the midst of the World. Just like the Apostles in the four walls have anointing to minister to Body so do the Marketplace Apostles have the anointing to minister to the world. Also He also has the ability to attract other marketplace Christian Leaders and other Marketplace gifted Christians. Also they have the anointing to attract the most gifted among the world since it is God who gives all grace and ability to mankind. Marketplace Apostles carry a dual anointing. He can minister to the Body and the Church as an Apostle. Marketplace Apostles are not just in business but other areas of the marketplace such as Government, Education, Media, and anything else that composed of Marketplace. Then there are those Marketplace Apostles that are called to minister to all these areas for grace impartional, foundational and revelational. The last note I would to say at this time there are little information on Marketplace Apostles so I personally don't have all the information. Only that which Christ give to me I give to you. 28. Marketplace Prayer Marketplace Apostles, Marketplace Prophets, Marketplace Intercessors, and Marketplace Anointings arise and possess the lands of marketplace. Are you in business, CEO of a company or a Marketplace Apostle? We need other Marketplace Apostles with gifts in business, not just in ministry. We need Prophets who are also businesspersons. We need intercessors that are also business minded. And we need to employ them in our companies. We need council of the prophets in marketplace. We need the leadership of the Apostles in the marketplace. We need intercessors in the marketplace. We need them in our companies. The time comes when we must employ Marketplace Intercessors in our companies and businesses. A worker is worthy for their hiring! These are intercessors that are also businesspersons that have business mind. We need Intercessors that know how the world of business works so they can pray much better. Also, all businesses and CEOs can be covered through our prayers. All business deals are prayed over before act upon and prayers do the marking of those deals. In addition, Businesspersons and that entire marketplace should have attitude of prayer. When your board members meet, they should open the meeting with prayer. And they should ask all those who are employed to be prayerful during there work days, and keep in prayer the matters of business at hand. I know of a marketplace ministry in Omaha that has a SWAT TEAM (Spiritual Warfare and Tactics.) They will Pray Onsite with Insight, and upon request, and they will provide a small team to pray with you at your workplace. They say this could be a large or small organization that requires prayer. While they are there, they pray for the issues that you believe are important and the issues that the Holy Spirit shows us to pray for your marketplace. In addition, this Marketplace Ministry meets weekly to pray for the marketplace. They make up of all those who work in the marketplace. I believe we need to pray for the marketplace, and we need to see God move not only in the Church but also in the Marketplace in order to see true city transformation in our cities. 29. Prophets In The Marketplace The Local Church and most of the Body of Christ have rejected the Prophetic ministry. Without the Prophets, God will not do anything in a local Church! Through the restoration movement of the Prophet and the Apostle, God has brought order to Prophet ministry and the Church is now more open to Prophetic ministry. But still there are those who will not welcome the Prophets and that is like not welcoming the Holy Spirit. We need to understand the order of prophetic ministry in the local church; right now there is order of control about the prophetic ministry in most churches that are open to the prophetic ministry. And even among some Apostles, they don't have need for prophetic ministry. Apostles and Prophets need to work together. In addition, in the past, prophets had been known for their independence rather then their accountability for their prophetic revelation. But now God has brought prophets together to share to one another and they should be open to each other's words. In the marketplace, things will be very different because with the Prophet comes supernatural profits. Prophets stand in the council of the Lord. And they can be watchmen in your business. God has given them gifts and insights to see inside the hearts of men; to see what is behind the covers that many of us do not see. Prophets can revel business matters of the future to you. We need Prophets who also are businesspersons in our companies and businesses; not only prophets who are not business-minded. We need business-minded prophets who are gifted to be prophetic in business. There is the relationship between the Kings and Prophets that we need to understand. The Prophets come before Kings to meet with them before the kings go out to battle. Not only we need to seek the Lord in our own personal lives, we need to ask for council from the Marketplace Prophets on business matters. 30. Marketplace Apostles, Prophets And Intercessors The way we do business is about to change. This change will come from Marketplace Christians. This will be a most radical way to do business in the history of business. This way of doing business belongs to the marketplace Christians, for they are in partnership with God Almighty. And only those who are in divine partnership will see such wealth, riches and honor like no other time in history. This will not be just a few of us Marketplace Christians but to whomever in Christ that comes to this revelation and move with this vision in the marketplace. God is raising up might companies of marketplace Christians. This will look like tideway coming in great power and force. This will be like a company of Davids, Esthers, Priscillas, Aquilas, Lydias and little servant's anointing. The common bond upon them is one purpose to establish God, Church and Kingdom in the Marketplace and to rule and reign through Christ Jesus our Lord. Marketplace Apostles will be leading and empowering Marketplace Christians. We need Apostles who are also businessperson in the marketplace. Not only do we need them but also others apostles with business anointing need to aid them. Some apostles are joint apostles in business. You do see ministers in Bible minister alone. Marketplace Prophets and Prophets are anointed to do business. They are not just prophets but they are businesspersons whom we need to join into boardroom of many corporations---to give insight through prophetic anointing. There is prophetic anointing to do business with; this anointing is now being released into the Body of Christ. Marketplace Intercessors are intercessors with anointing to do business. They are not just intercessors but they are businesspersons with business knowledge. They are business intercessors who are called to pray for the Marketplace Apostles and Marketplace Apostles CEO's. They are called to pray for the corporations that shall arise out of the hearts of the Apostles. They are called to cover with a canopy of prayer over the businesses and companies. They're corporate anointing coming upon Marketplace Apostle to raise up their corporations or we can say they are the kingdom of God. Marketplace Apostles are kings in businesses and their company is their kingdom. And their kingdom is a kingdom of God under our King of kings and Lord of lords Jesus Christ. God is giving vision to Marketplace Christians. God has given vision to the marketplace. God has vision for the marketplace and if we seek him, he may show us his plans. God has plans for you and he has a future for you. God is rising up visionaries in the land of business and the marketplace. 31. Apostle Kings Many of you in business, in the marketplace, and your workplace are making shafts from saying that your workplace is only a job or career going from this to saying and having faith that your workplace is your ministry. It is time for many of you to make this shaft in your workplace. It is a transitioning in your life and your workplace that will open the doors for the power of God in your world. It is time to put your faith into works in order to see your community change! This is a day that the nuclear church is being reform and a new frontier to be reveled and developed. This is called the extended church. Ten percent of the ministry is done within the nuclear church and ninety percent of the ministry is done in the extended church. Marketplace Apostles and Marketplace Prophets are called to establish the foundations in the extended church. They are called to help lead the marketplace army in the extended church and to give revelation of the extended church and to impart grace to the nuclear church. This is a day of the army of kings and priests to come forth in the World. They are kingly priests in the marketplace, in the workplace and the business. This is a kingdom of kings and priests and this is a day of the kings and priests churches to come froth in the body of Christ. Marketplace Apostles are called by God to lead, impart, and father those Christians called into business and the marketplace. They are leaders of leaders in the marketplace. They are first in extended church. Local Churches need to honor their gifting and give them proper place within their fellowships. Joseph, Noah, Joshua, David, Solomon and Nehemiah are all types of marketplace apostles. When it comes to Marketplace Apostles you must think outside of the box. Nehemiah and Ezra are types of apostolic builders. This is the day of the Nehemiah and Ezra Apostles. In addition, Nehemiah is also a type of a marketplace apostle and Ezra is a type of church apostle. This shows us that marketplace Apostles and Church Apostles will work together in certain cases. God will inspire Marketplace Apostles who will be lead to establish companies in the business world. In turn they will become very wealthy for the shake of the kingdom and their apostleship. This is one of the signs of marketplace apostles, which is great wealth. Some Marketplace Apostles will establish their companies and in turn sell and become rich over night and then come to train other Christians in the Marketplace. Marketplace Apostles have both a kingly anointing to do business and an apostolic anointing to do business and minister with the both of these Anointings in the extended church. They are called to lead the kings of business and marketplace. In other words he is a coordinator among kings. Most Marketplace Apostles in their own cities will be appointed as territorial apostles or you can say city apostles. They are apostles that help lead a Translocal network of local churches within a city from other Christian groups. This is a local apostolic coalition network to impact the city they live in. The other places where territorial apostles come from are Megachurch pastors and Parachurch Leaders. We must see that Marketplace Apostle will be honor and giving proper place within the local churches and see their ministries needed at the local level. An apostle is a gateway to new frontier for body of Christ. So the Marketplace Apostle is a gateway to the extended church. What are characteristics of Marketplace Apostles to help us understand their function in the apostolic in the Body of Christ? 1. A supernatural anointing to do business. 2. Ability to lead, gather and network the Business and Marketplace Christians. 3. They are full of wisdom and have revelation that little of it comes from experience and the rests of it come from God himself. 4. Marketplace Apostles will come into great wealth as one of the signs to their calling in the marketplace. 5. Attracting and distributing of wealth and financial resources for the ministries and the local churches. 6. They have ability to impact the marketplace and business world in such a way that many come to the Lord. 7. They have power of influence and a favor that most Christians don't have in the Marketplace. However, This is only the beginning of my personal knowledge on marketplace apostles. I don't know ever thing, I only see impart. I see more of the business type of marketplace apostle beside, there a few more apostolic ministries in the marketplace among Marketplace Apostles. Furthermore, This topic of marketplace Apostle is very new in the Body of Christ and only few have written on this subject. I believe in time their will more clearly on the subject of Marketplace Apostles so bear with us. 32. Apostles & Businesspersons There is a relationship between Apostles and Businesspersons that needs to be establishing again in the body of Christ. There is a release that comes when there is a connection between the Apostles and Businesspersons. Although, your anointed and have grace for business. There is a certain special grace that comes from the connection with Apostles. Where there is vision, there is provision. Each Pastor or Apostle, etc needs provision for his or her ministry. However, an Apostle needs a greater flow of provision for his ministry. With pastor there is pastoral provision, with an apostle there is apostolic provision, and likewise with the other three offices of Church Government. An Apostle has an anointing and grace from God to attract wealth and distributed for his vision. Are you saying if I am in Business and don't believe in Apostles or have no connection to an Apostle I will not have this special grace? Yes I am saying this! On the other hand, you do have a kingly anointing for business. Yes the other four offices of Church Government and even the Church can bless and anointed you in Business. However, this special grace from Apostles to do business is to bring in apostolic provision and to establish the Kingdom of God in the Marketplace. Is not my business blessed? Is not my Business my ministry? Is not my Business a Kingdom Business? Am I not a King in Business? Am I not going to have Wealth? Yes, Yes, and Yes all to that! But you will not have the fruits of Acts 6. Which are the Word of God will spread, the number of the disciples will be multiplied, great many of Christians will be obedient to the faith, and great wonders, great signs with wealth will be come. Although, you will have signs, wonders and be blessed in your business. The Apostles must seek out from among themselves, businesspersons of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit, and full of wisdom, full of faith and full of the Holy Spirit. To laid hands for impartation and to ordain them as kings in business. The word appoint mean ordain! Apart from that, the other four offices and the Local Church are to ordain their kings for Business. As in the days of old, the Prophets and Priests of old anointed the kings to reign so shall the Apostles do likewise in today's Church. Who are the Kings of today! They are the Businesspersons! Furthermore, there will be those who are poor when they walk into an apostolic church and when they go out some of them will be Millionaires and some will be billionaires. Christ in his power and grace will rise up an army of Millionaires and Billionaires, he will even go beyond that with some in the Body of Christ. 33. Church Apostle & Marketplace Apostle Church Apostles and Marketplace Apostles need to work together in building the Church. We need to be connected as partners with Christ the chief Master Builder. We are entering into a time in the Body of Divine Building. Jesus said He would build His Church. He will use Marketplace and Church Apostles as tools in carrying out his building plans. Ezra and Nehemiah are type of apostles of today. They are types of building apostles are apostolic builders. Along with them there are prophets such as Daniel, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi who are types of prophets who will aid the time of divine building in the church. Besides, there is those who are Cyrus in the church and in the world who will aid this divine time of building. Above this there is the King Darius, and King Artaxerxes who will aid in this time of building. Moreover, Ezra is a type of Church Apostle whom God will use to build his house, and Nehemiah is a type of Marketplace Apostle who will be use to not only to build his house, also to build the city Church. Furthermore, this is a divine time of building in the Body of Christ. This is a new day of the Ezra apostles and the Nehemiah apostles 34. From Church Apostle To Marketplace Apostle Church Apostles are every apostle who ministers within the nuclear church. They live off what they minister. Today we are going from the day of the Apostles to the day of the saints. However, we need to see a restoration of signs and wonders. Every believer should walk in signs and wonders. Apostles are also called to walk in signs and wonders and mighty deeds. Apart from that, their first work is a work of patience in other words they make few step in there ministry some times and at the same time make big steps for the whole church. Everyone else is called to walk in certain degrees of signs and wonders. In addition, the Apostles are first called to the works and signs of patience. Apostles are restoring back to us a true Church Government. They are doing this on the Translocal level and the local level. Right now I believe we are still in the beginning stages of the apostolic movements. I foresee apostolic movements of signs, wonders and mighty deeds. However, right now the framework is being laid for those to come. Marketplace Apostles are called to minister in the extended church of the Body of Christ. They live off their marketplace Ministries. Their business is their ministry. They are called to lead and give leadership to the kings in the marketplace and business. They have an anointing to attract and distribute wealth and financial resources for the nuclear church. Marketplace Apostles will come into great wealth. This will be an awesome sign among the church. They are leaders in giving and resources. They will lead in the waves of witty inventions. God is giving them wisdom for the business world. They have grace to impart to business leaders that make those leaders successful beyond their own means. Marketplace Apostles are called to train and rise up Marketplace Churches and Ministers. This is why the nuclear church must give them proper place within and honor to reap the benefits. Today God is change the Church of laity to a kingdom of kings and priests. Every believer has a gift, a ministry, an anointing. Every one has a place in the Body of Christ. You are not called to be pew members no longer. The Kings and Priests Churches are arising up everywhere you can look. Some will minister within the nuclear church and a lot of them will minister in the extended church. Those who are of Government of the Church who have this revelation will be leaders in kings and priests movements. The nuclear church is the center of the body of Christ. Is the beginning of the Church, and is the heart of the Body of Christ. It is the core of the church. Everything in body must be connected to this core. This is the place where saints are equipped, this is the place where priests minister. The Body of Christ is in three parts. One, which is in Heaven, the other which are the Nuclear Church and the third, which is the extended church. The priests are every believer who is called to minister in the nuclear church, and the kings are everyone called to minister in the extended church. Beside, we are all kings and Priests in Christ Jesus. There is a connection between the Apostles and Businesspersons. In order to get the release that businesspersons need we must reestablish this divine connection. The seven men chosen to be appointed over the business of caring for members were Spirit-Filled Business Men. In Acts chapter six is the example of the connection between the businesspersons and the apostles that need to be establish today. The word appointment means ordination. Just as the kings of old were ordained by the priests and prophets. So today the apostles are to seek out from among them. Persons of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit, full of wisdom and full of faith. Then they are lay hands upon them and release them into their kingdom ministry. What happen in Acts Chapter six will happen again if we reestablish this divine connection? Above this we are as a nuclear church to release the kings among us and lay our hands upon them. Nevertheless, The nuclear Church needs to be reform and the extended church build. We need vision not only for the Nuclear Church but also the Extended Church. The Workplace Movement, which has been going on for some time is only in it's beginning. Moreover, needs the help of a reform church. Although this workplace movement is beyond one type of Church and is across the board among the Body of Christ. Furthermore, the transference of wealth will happen in our generation. This wealth will come from the world to the Church. Will not be a one time thing but, It will be continue manifestation. This is why the bridge must be build between the Church and the Marketplace. This is why we must give place for businesspersons to fellowship and be train in our local churches. We must give them place. They will go to those churches that have vision not only for their churches but also for the marketplace. We must give proper honor to the Kings and Marketplace Christians or you will not receive the coming waves of the manifestation of wealth. 35. Marketplace A.P. Teams If there is an extended church of the nuclear church do you think there should be apostles as it is in the nuclear church to be in the extended church? If there are apostles in the extended church do you think there should be prophets too? There is Marketplace Apostles and Marketplace Prophets in the extended church. A Marketplace Apostles has a kingly anointing and apostolic anointing for business and the marketplace. A Marketplace Prophet has a kingly anointing and prophetic anointing for business and the marketplace. Apart from that, every Christians is a king and priests in Christ. They are all kingly priests in the Body of Christ. Every Christian businesspersons and Marketplace Christians has a kingly anointing in the extended church. In addition, just as there are ministries in the nuclear church there are ministries in the extended church. Marketplace Apostles and Marketplace Prophets are to lay the foundation of the extended church. Marketplace Apostles and Marketplace Prophets are foundational, revelational and impartional ministry to the extended church. Marketplace Apostles are first and Marketplace Prophets are second in the extended church. Marketplace Apostles build and give leadership to corporations. They will build and plant business in the extended church just as a Church Apostles will plant Churches in the nuclear church. They will give wisdom and train other business leaders and rise up other marketplace Apostles in the Extended church. Marketplace Apostles will network the Marketplace Christians and Christian Businesspersons to impact the world. Marketplace Apostles are overseers in the extended church. Marketplace Apostles give leadership to the extended church. Marketplace Prophets give wisdom, revelation and council to business leaders and Marketplace Leaders. Marketplace Prophets speak forth-prophetic utterances that impact the marketplace. Marketplace Prophets open the eyes and ears of Marketplace Christians to see their own destiny. Marketplace Prophets come to prepare the way and show the way of kingdom business in the marketplace. Marketplace Apostles and Marketplace Prophets will work together in corporations. In order to drive the companies in revelation and kingdom business. Marketplace Apostles and Marketplace Prophets will be on boards of directors to guide the company in wisdom and revelation. Marketplace Apostles will have Marketplace Prophets on their board and in their companies to give them prophetic insight in business dealings. Marketplace Apostles and Marketplace Prophets will lead Christian Businesspersons and Marketplace Christians in the extended church. Apart from that, not only there is a need of Marketplace Apostles and Marketplace Prophets, there is also a need for Marketplace intercessors in their companies. Marketplace Apostles will hire or rise up Intercessors with the knowledge of business and prayer to aid them in their companies. Furthermore, Christ will team up a Marketplace Apostle and Marketplace Prophet to be an apostolic and prophetic team in the extended church. 36. Marketplace Apostles and the Nuclear Church What is the relationship between the nuclear church and the extended church? That is the relationship between the Marketplace Apostle and the nuclear church? There needs to be reconciliation between the nuclear church and the extended church. There is a need for the Marketplace Christians to be restored to the kingly anointing. Those Christians in the workplace or in business need to make shift from looking at you job or your business just as a means to looking and having faith that your workplace or your business is your ministry. Apart from that, The Marketplace Apostle has important relationship with the nuclear church. I will give you some understanding in how the Marketplace Apostle relates to the nuclear church. The Nuclear Church is the heart of the Body of Christ. The extended church is the deeds of the Body. The nuclear church is the priestly ministry of the Body. The extended church is the kingly ministry of the Body. The Marketplace Apostle relates to the nuclear Church within the nuclear church for the saints are equipped for the work of the ministry. Therefore the Marketplace Apostle equips the saints for the ministry in the extended church. The Marketplace Apostle relates to the nuclear church in leading the attracting and distributing wealth and financial resources to the work of the ministry in the nuclear church. You need to understand the extended church lives off it's own resources while the nuclear church lives of the resources of the extended church. The Marketplace Apostle relates to the nuclear church in the influence that Christ has giving him or her in the marketplace for the purpose to lead in changing the marketplace which is the heart of the city in turned to bring growth in numbers to the local church and for the local church to have influence in the marketplace. The Marketplace Apostles relates to the nuclear church in being apart of the local church and nuclear church eldership to give wisdom, revelation and insight in business and marketplace matters In addition, since the marketplace apostle carries a prime leadership role in the extended church he needs to have proper honor in the nuclear church. The Marketplace Apostle relates to the nuclear church through his territorial commitment and his opportunity, probability and possibility of being called to be a territorial apostle, who is a city apostle to head up a city network of churches. The fishing pool of where territorial apostles could come from is among ether megachurch pastors, parachurch leaders or marketplace apostles. Furthermore. The nuclear church, local churches and Pastors need to give proper honor and place to Marketplace Apostles and relate to them. 37. Joseph a. Joseph Part One At Bethel Jacob builds an altar and calls the place EL bethel. God give dreams to a teenager. His father makes a tunic of many colors. This tunic portrays authority and many colors represent many nations. Joseph is a type of modern day Marketplace Apostle. In addition, Joseph is a good example for Marketplace Christians to learn from. However, our greatest example for Marketplace Christians is our Lord Jesus Christ. Before he is in ministry he is in business. God has a plan for Christians who are in Business. Joseph is a type of Christ' suffering. In addition, the story of Joseph is a type of how God will restore Israel to Christ in the end days. God give Joseph dreams about his destiny. He tells his brothers and they hate him for it. He tells them to his father and mother and his father rebukes him. Joseph could be a little prideful but actually he is just telling his dreams. When Modern day Joseph's tell their dreams to these around them, they may think that they are prideful and out of order. When your friends don't believe in your vision, it is a form of rejection. When God give us a vision for our life, this vision sets us apart from those around us, even those who are spiritual elders. Moreover, if that spiritural father doesn't believe in you, this is sign that God separate you and it's time to move on. Don't listen to people who don't believe in your call. God will match you to right people, the right friends, and the right spiritual fathers. You don't need to go around looking for them. Just follow Jesus as we run with the vision. God will begin to arrange the steps you need to take. God begin to rearrange your life to fit into your purpose. To wait on your ministry is not God's will. However you will be put through a process of training through life's trials. God will also put people in life to help training you into your calling. God want to know our vision and purpose. We are all visionaries at heart. Joseph is called the dreamer. His brothers say, ' behold the dreamer cometh.' His dreams are his calling and destiny. Dare to dream even if people don't believe in you. In your beginning people may not believe you. You may only have a few that will stand with you. No one may want to connect with you. Nevertheless, first steps will begin your life in vision and purpose. b. Joseph Part Two Joseph's brothers sell him into a life of slavery for twenty shekels of silver. In the book of Philemon an example of reconciliation in the marketplace is shown. Philemon is wealthy and his house is big enough to host a church. The Apostle Paul associates with him when he comes to town. Philemon is known for having refreshed the heart of the saints. "Refreshing" means, or at least includes, the giving of gifts. However, Onesimus, one of Philemon's slaves, has run away. Paul meets him in prison and leads him to the Lord. Paul describes Onesimus as a son "I have begotten in my imprisonment." In Paul's letter to Philemon, Paul asks for something, not just unusual, but also unprecedented. Unusual would have been to ask that Philemon forgives Onesimus. But Paul asks for much more. He requests that Philemon receive Onesimus as a beloved brother. In the cruel, rigid class-driven world of the first century this is exceptional, to say the least. This is what God do in Joseph's life. But, he keeps on bring reconciliation between himself and his masters. If we would seek God in all times we will see God move as He did in Joseph's life. Here God give Joseph a vision for his life. He does not know what would happen and how God will fulfill the prophetic word over his life. He does not know how promotion would come to him. When God give us vision for our lives, he does not show us everything for reason he is teaching us to have faith and trust him in all things, and even our destiny. Joseph should not speak his destiny to his brothers. This is an example to us that those around us at the time God give a vision for our lives will not believe in us for reason they see us as little children. You should write down vision for your life and then keep in your heart and pray about it everyday. Apart from that, God will bring prophets to confirm the prophetic word in your life. Let the Prophets tell your destiny to those around you and not yourself. God will raise up a visionary people to run with the set visionary as he runs with the Vision. Joseph goes through much suffering and even temptation to reach the day of fullness. However in every trial he goes through, God gives him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison. In every process Joseph goes through, God show mercy to him. Joseph's trials begin when he is seventeen years old and at that time God give him dreams about his future. These trials last to about the time when Joseph is about thirty years old. Therefore, we as Christians should not give up, for the day of promotion is coming sooner than what you think! c. Joseph Part Three The day will soon come in your life---the day of promotion. The day of your release will come. Your gift will make room for you are given that gift and God's will is using that gift for his glory. God did not give you a dream for your life and then not fulfill it. God knows everything you are going to do before you do it. He give you a prophetic word that will come to pass in due season. You were waiting so long and even that is trial in itself. However the day of promotion has come. The day of your release is near. You will go from your trails to your position of honor. You will go from the prison you are in to the place of praise. You may look around you and think it would happen to me. You may think how could God use me now? No matter what your life is like it will not hinder God from promoting you to glory. God's vision or dream for your life is not limited by those things that are around you. So you will rule over Egypt. You will be next to Pharaoh. You shall have his signet ring and be clothed with garments of fine linen and around your neck shall be a gold chain. God is giving you this authority for a purpose. Know your purpose, without it you can use the power that God gives you in wrong ways. However, with power you shall rule to bless others. God bless you to bless others. God has raised you up in such a time as this to help those around you. Joseph remembers your vision! Joseph remembers your dreams! Joseph remembers your purpose. The times have now come to walk in its fullness. If you honor God in the time of suffering you will honor God in the time of glory. The day of transitioning is coming. Be prepared and be ready. Help prepare those around you that make the transition with you. This transitioning is a vision shift and a leadershift. The transitioning between suffering and glory is at hand. d. Joseph Part Four In the time of prophetic fulfillment there will be restoration in your life, family, business and ministry. Along with restoration God will bring reconciliation among relationships. Reconciliation among social gaps made through the demonic attacks, which came upon your life. What you have lost for Christ you shall gain more with Christ then before. God will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten---the crawling locust, the consuming locust, and the chewing locust. There are a greater outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon your life then ever before. Your personal times of refreshing will come from the presence of the Lord. Moreover your personal times of restoration of all things in your life. God will find the thief's that come against you in life. God make them restore sevenfold. In addition, God may make them give all the substance in their houses. Not only will we take the strongman and his goods, we will also get his house. Wow what a spirituiral breakthrough! Besides, this God bring justice and judgment. He will make all things right and bring order in our lives. God bring justice where there has been injustice done. However, it is not going to be justice in our ways but God's way. What kind of justice will come? The justice that bring restoration to our lives, family, ministry and business. God will restore relationships, spiritual fathers, friendships, and partnerships. However, it may not be the same as before but it will be better than before. God will also heal the inward man. Pray this prayer with me: Father in Jesus name; bring restoration of all things to my life, family, ministry and business. In addition, bring restoration to my life in relationships, spiritual fathers, friendships and partnerships. Moreover bring restoration of all things in my life. Father I cry out for justice to replace those injustice done to me. And I forgive those who have done such harm. Heal my heart, heal my inward man. Caught the thief's and deal with them in your own way. Make them restore sevenfold unto me and I also ask that you give me all of their substance in their houses. Bring such a spiritual breakthrough to my life. Furthermore, Father I ask you for not only full restoration but full Reconciliation among social gaps made through the demonic attacks, which come upon your life. In the name Jesus amen! God is changing us from inward to outward. We are to change from being angry to patient; from hate to love; from fear to faith; from bitterness to peace. God will bring full restoration, not part restoration in your life. e. Joseph Part Five Both Joseph and Job are types of Christ's suffering. Joseph's brothers sell him for twenty shekels of silver. Judas betrays Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. This is prophecy by Zechariah in chapter 11:12-13. Joseph had to forgive those who did such evil toward him. Joseph frailty understands his prophetic dreams in the time of the fullness of his destiny. Most of the time the vision for life could be misunderstood until the fullness of time comes. His brother asks him for forgiveness. This causes Joseph to weep! This is what God is going to do with our inward man. God is building us into such meek and merciful leaders in the marketplace. Joseph knows that he is in the place of God's will for his life. Once when we are in his place for our lives we have already been made ready for such a responsible place. This is a place of accountability and responsibility. In God's place for you, you must know your purpose. Having power and authority without knowing your purpose is not good for you or those you are called to give help to. God will turn our bitterness into gratitude through the hard days we have been through. Joseph had understood of how God was in control of everything in his life. His understanding was; " but as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive." Wow this is what God is going to do in our lives. God is rising up Marketplace Apostles in the Earth. Marketplace Apostles carry the main leadership role among marketplace Christians in the extended church. Their functions in the marketplace are: 1. Provide leadership to marketplace leaders and marketplace Christians. 2. To take leading role in the transference of wealth is coming to the house of the Lord. 3. To take leading role in attracting and distributing financial resources for the house of the Lord. 4. To rule over wrecked leaders in the marketplace and to deal with them. 5. To bring leadership to local churches in advanced into the marketplace. The Five Activities of Marketplace Apostles: 1. Nuclear Marketplace Apostle: Marketplace apostles who use his business to provide for his ministry which ministers in the nuclear church. 2. Extended Marketplace Apostle: Marketplace Apostles who use his business so can provide for his ministry in the extended church. 3. Cyrus Marketplace Apostle: Marketplace Apostles Who's place is one of authority, power and influence among those in the world. That uses this kind of authority to free up the Church in the marketplace and the World. The Cyrus Marketplace Apostle is more into secular world then compared to the Joseph marketplace Apostle and even the nuclear and extended marketplace apostles. 4. Joseph Marketplace Apostle: This one whose place and authority is among the World. He use his authority to bring financial resources unto churches and inure imparts to Nuclear Church leaders which comes unto him. The Joseph marketplace Apostle is secular but is more into the church world compared to the Cyrus Marketplace Apostle. 5. Hyphenated Marketplace Apostles: Marketplace Apostles who walk in more one of these Marketplace Apostles. Marketplace Apostles will all have: 1. They will all become very wealthy between the Church and the world. 2. They will all be financial ministers to the Church. 3. They will all have some type of ministry to the Church in the common functions of all apostles. 4. They will all move in revelation in the marketplace. 5. They will all lay foundation for Church in the marketplace. Different between wealthy Christians and wealthy marketplace Apostles: 1. The fist different is that wealthy Christians don't have apostleship 2. Marketplace Apostles have more supernatural anointing in business than those wealthy in Christ. 3. Marketplace Apostles will have leadership role among wealthy Christians that don't have. 4. Marketplace Apostles are first in the Marketplace. God is rising and establishing Marketplace Apostles into their set divine place among the marketplace to take leading role in advancing the Kingdom in the marketplace among Marketplace ministers and Christians. The story of Joseph is an example of how God is going to set and raise up Marketplace Apostle in the Marketplace. Joseph is a type of today's marketplace Apostle. In addition he is not only a good example to marketplace Apostle but to all marketplace ministers and marketplace Christians. God is not raising the Josephs in our time but also the Jobs and setting them in the marketplace. Moreover he networks them together and even joins some together to work together as a team. Furthermore, God bring Marketplace Apostles, Marketplace Prophets and Marketplace intercessors together as one team. There are many team make up between not only them but also among marketp0lace ministers and marketplace Anointings and all marketplace Christians, for God send them out by twos. Apart from that, there are jointed marketplace apostles. They will be within the five marketplace apostles Activities but be assistants to another marketplace Apostles. Thus they become a jointed Marketplace Apostle. This is in order to make up a team of Marketplace Apostles in a company in the marketplace. Nevertheless, these five Marketplace Activities are not to limit the marketplace apostles but help to give understanding. We have only begun to scratch the surface on Marketplace Apostles. 38. JOB a. Job Part One Introduction: Few people have experienced the level of suffering that Job did, yet anyone who has ever tried to make sense of tragedy has struggled with the same question that occupied Job and his friends: "Why?" Job is the timeless story of human beings trying to use their finite understanding to explain calamity. Job and his friends thought that bad things happen to bad people as a punishment for their sins. But the overriding lesson of Job is that we cannot fully understand or explain misfortune because we do not have all the facts. Only God knows the complete answer to the question, "Why?" However, that need not deter us from ether intellectual inquiry or attempts to comfort each other in our troubles. If anything, it should drive us to the place where Job ended up---at the feet of God, in humility, worship, and praise. Who wrote the Book of Job? : We do not know who wrote the book of Job, this epic poem. The author or Job and his friends were not an Israeltie. The book of Job was put into its present written form around the time of King Solomon. I personally believe that the author of book of Job was Elihu the forth friend of Job. I believe Job was a contemporary Abraham and even with Isaac and Jacob. Probably he was the posterity of Nahor, Abraham's brother, whose first-born was Uz, and in whose family religion was for some ages kept up, as appears, where God is called, not only the God of Abraham, but also the God of Nabor. In addition, the land of Uz no one knows the exact location of Job's homeland. However, the Bible states or suggests several things about Uz. It was located in the east. This probably means somewhere east of Jordan River. Understanding the book of job: a. Job's trials only last six months or less then one year out of 250 years of his life. b. Job was not in covenant with God as Abraham. c. You must understand the old in the light of the new, "New Testament." d. Who was Job? · Job was an extremely prosperous rancher. · He was called to be greatest of all people in the east. · He was the wealthiest person of all people in the east. · He was a businessperson. · He was an elder of the city. · He was a counselor. · He was a prophet. e. Job was a contemporary of Abraham f. What was the purpose of the Book of Job? I believe his trials came and were processes to promote him. g. The key to book of Job is the revelation of God to Job. h. Job is a type of Christ suffering. i. Job is a type of a modern day Marketplace Prophet. j. Why do I teach on the book of Job? I believe we need to teach on this book for reason that not many teach on this for reason they have been hindered by a spirit of deception that came to stop people from understanding the book of Job. Job's friends: Who were Job's friends? Eliphaz, Bildad, Zophar, Elihu. · They were all businesspersons. · They were all very wealthy. · They were all elders. · They were all counselors. · They were all prophets. Eliphaz, Bildad, Zophar were wrong in their counseling and God made them to repent for what they have said. However, Elihu did not have to repent for what he said for he was right. He was younger than the other three friends. This shows that we should be humble and meek to hear from those who are younger in ministry. This is an example that out of the four counselors only one is right. This is true in life and ministry when people come to give us their advice, but we should always keep a hearing ear. Suffering: The first book written in the Old Testament time was the book of Job and the first book that was written in the New Testament time was the book of James. It was not the first things that happen but the first things that were written. This is to prepare us for what we will face in our Christian walk. You may hear that Christian life is one of glory. This is true but there will be much suffering in the Christian life. We heard teaching about suffering and that Christian will not suffer much than what happens when suffering comes, for this reason we need to hear the whole truth and nothing but the truth in the Bible. You can see in the Bible we are going to have a lot of good days but also you see that we are going to have many days of trials and warfare. Well you may say I don't believe in that? Please read the Bible. God's word the Bible is real. By contrast, you must also understand that trials are not for life. Compare your trials to the glory you shall have in this life for it cannot be compared at all. All trials are not from God but everything evil or good if submit to God through prayer God will turn it around for our good. Furthermore to blame God for everything is not good and not true. There is difference between trials from God and warfare from Satan or demons or things we have got our own self in. Attitude: When we going through such hard times our attitudes can become very bitter and self-petty. However, an Aha experience with encountering God will change bitterness from life trials to an aptitude of gratitude and thankfulness of what we have been through. This happen to Job and Joseph, and this come right before restoration. Job's Repentance: Job's repentance was not same as repentance of wrong doing or sin, which is "to turn back or return". This kind of repentance means "to be sorry" or "to console oneself." In other words, Job threw away his pretensions to wisdom and comforted himself "in dust and ashes," a common symbol of mourning or humility. He was satisfied with the humble knowledge that suffering was all part of the purpose of Godeven if he could not understand those purposes with his finite mind. This kind of repentance comes when a person has an Aha experience with encountering God. Restoration: The end of our trials is restoration. God's will is to bring restoration to our lives, families, friends, businesses and ministry. Don't give up for restoration is coming. "Now the Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning" I believe in God's blessing of restoration and not only this but twice than what we have before. Believe God for restoration and twice than what we had before. Promotion: Everyone will go through a process of promotion for Job's process lasts for one month. In addition, Joseph's trials last from late teen to about 30 years old. God wants to promote us. We need to know God's will for our lives. Do you know your purpose? Do you have vision for your life? You need a purpose and vision before your day of promotion can come. God wants to promote you! b. Job Part Two Revelation of God to Job: The key to the book of Job is revelation God give to Job. Job was a man who prayed for his family. Every true Christian needs to learn to pray for their family. Job was a man of prayer. Job was faithful to pray for his family. You can see through the Bible there are some family-related prayers in the Bible; such as Abraham, Abraham's servant, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Hannah, David and even Job. We need pray for our family in times of tragedies and triumphs of your family, even if you have to pray for long term. Job had dreams from God showing what kind of attacks that comes upon him from Satan. This burden makes Job pray even more and this is why Job fear for his children. These dreams were given to Job to prepare him for what to come. Job's dreams were prophetic. In these dreams from God, God was telling him what Job will go through and that God was in control. Satan attacked in three waves. He attacked Job's character. Job lost his property and children. Satan attacked his health. Apart from that, before his attack, Job was the greatest person in the east. He was the wealthiest among many. He had great influence in the east. I believe people all over the Middle East know of Job. I believe that Job was not a young person since he was a Elder and counselor. Nevertheless, God brought restoration not only all his loses but twice than he had before, so he had greater wealth and greater influence. Beside, I believe this attack was an attack from the spirit in the land, which tries to work against God's purposes in Job. In addition, I believe these attacks were of witchcraft in nature. AHA Experience with God: Furthermore, before the end of the magnificent epic poem of the book of Job. Job had an Aha experience with the encountering God. When God came up in a whirlwind this brought a kind of repentance, which only comes from the Aha experience of God. What a revelation of God that Job had! People who are going to get this kind of revelation from God will go through trials that most people don't deal with. Sufferings and revelation go hand on hand. Marketplace Prophet: Job was a gentle prophet in the times of beginnings. Job is a type of marketplace Prophet for today. If Job lives today he will be a marketplace Prophet. The Marketplace Prophet's ministry is of the extended Church. Job was a man who was very wealthy; and he is called the greatest of all people in the east. He was a person of great influence. Job was a businessperson, and a prophet in business. Prophets have anointing to bring profit to others and to have profit in their business. Job was an elder in the land of Uz. Job and Joseph: Job is a type of modern day Marketplace Prophet. Joseph is a type of a modern day Marketplace Apostle. They are both good examples for marketplace Christians. Both Job and Joseph's trials were a process and a progress toward promotion. In addition, Job and Joseph had a divine change of attitude from bitterness to gratitude and thankfulness. c. Job Part Three Contemporary Of Abraham: Many view Job as a contemporary of Abraham. This is an example that God is not limited by one man. God had a plan not just for one person but many. We could think that God is only moving here and not there. God was moving in the life of Abraham and God was moving in the life of Job. Job was not an Israeltie but he was a Gentile. Job was a gentle prophet. Job has names between two other Israeltie prophets. They are Noah, Daniel and Job. They were all righteousness before God. That is the reason why God say this to Israel that God can use even Gentiles. It also shows God's plan toward the gentles that God loves the world. The Apostle James is the elder of the Church of Jerusalem. Not only Job is used as an example of perseverance and suffering. It shows that God loves the Gentiles, and that we should love our brothers who are not of the same race. The Book of Genesis: There is difference between the Prophets who come in the beginning of things than those who come in the end of things. In addition, there are difference between the Apostles who come in the beginning of things than those came in the end of things. Prophets who come in the beginning of thing prophecy the end from the beginning. The Prophets who come in the end of things come to aid those who are the beginning of the fullest of those prophecy. The Apostles who come in the beginning come to lay a foundation for the end. The Apostles that come in the end of things come to walk in that foundation. Job's Friends: Job's friends were all prophets. They were elders of their lands. These prophets are also marketplace Prophets. It appears that Job and Abraham were not the only ones who were aware of God in that day. At least four other families worship God. And if six families have vision and love for the Almighty, how many more were like them? An Example of Modern Day Prophets: These are examples of Prophetic councils, roundtables and presbytery. God is bringing together prophets in a certain geographic territory to seat and hear from one another and to be accountable for their prophetic revelation. Moreover, to see more of the full picture of their territory where they are placed. d. Job Part Four How To Minister To Today's Job: 1. Listen to Job: they feel better if they have someone to hear them. 2. Try to be understanding: Whatever they are going through, try to understand them. 3. Comfort them: Learn to Comfort Job, the greatest help is for us to comfort them. Let us give comfort in hard times. 4. Pray for Him: Be prayerful for Job during his trials. We may not know everything, but if we pray to God who is in control this will be helpful. 5. You don't know his purpose: When we look upon people we think we know them. Only God knows their true purpose. Most times they don't know yet their purpose. Knowing their purpose will help them understand for themselves why they are going through such hard times. 6. Stand with Job during these times: God is looking for people that will be steadfast with Job through his hard times. 7. Be a good friend: A friends loves at all time. Be friend in hard times. 8. You may not have wisdom for him: We are always so quick to give our advice. We need to be prayerful for we may not know what we should say during these times. Watch How You Minister To Job: Four friends came to Job. The four friends were councilors. elders. and prophets. By only one of the four was right. Those three that were wrong had to repent of what they said. If you're wrong God will connect you. So you should watch what you say to your Job. God will hold you accountable. Not for sin or wrong doing: Christians could be wrong when we point our fingers at someone and think in yourself that what has happened in their lives is for reason that there are either in sin or they brought this on themselves for their wrong doing. Job did not sin or do any wrong doing throughout his hard times and he did not do any thing wrong to bring such trials upon himself. e. Job Part Five Job is a Business Person: Job was an extremely prosperous rancher. A businessperson. He was very wealthy. He is a type of Marketplace Prophet. He is a Marketplace Prophet. Job was an elder in the land of Uz. Job a person of Influence: Job is called the greatest of all in the people of the East. He was the wealthiest person in the east. I believe he was also well known by people through the world at that Time. He uses his influence to be a witness of the Living God. His wealth was a sign to the people of the east. How powerful his God was! Then an evil spirit working in the land came against him. He losses it all. This must make big news through the people of the East. People would said he must do something wrong. What kind of God is this? Then within a short time, restoration came and he also had twice than what he had before. And the rest of his life was peaceful. This must be a great witness to all the people of the East. I believe that his trials were to promote him now just give him more wealth and more of everything. But more influence to be a witness. I believe that he told the story about his trials and the mercy of God to everyone he did business with---Which was many. God give him twice of the great influence among all the people of the East. He uses this influence to be a witness to all people who did business and all people of the east and even those who did business with throughout the knowing world at that time. In addition, I believe his testimony was heard by mouth to mouth throughout the known world. Job was a witness to many in his day: Job is a good example for marketplace Christians to follow. This is what God want do with each of us----Marketplace Christians to use our influence to be witness to many in order to change the marketplace and our cities and nations. Conclusion to Job: James 5:10-11-----the conclusion of the matter is that our Lord is very compassionate and merciful to us. If there is beginning of a trial then there is end. The end we are counted blessed for our enduring. That our perseverance and the end intended by the Lord is very compassionate and merciful. Furthermore Jesus will be with us always he will never leave us and nothing can separate us from his lovekindness. 39. End Time Joseph Today we are living in a day of revelation knowledge and prophetic knowledge about the end times and the end time church. The Holy Spirit is speaking to our hearts and minds changes our mindsets and giving us Word Revelation on the Holy Scriptures that in past days we have overlooked. We are preparing the way for the end time church and the end times. We are to lay the foundations for the end time church and the things that will happen in the end times. It takes Word Revelation and Prophetic Revelation seeing into the future and seeing the now and then seeing the future, and how to apply those things we see and hear by the Word and by the Spirit. As you look at the story of Joseph you can see revelation and vision for the future times and even now, Joseph is a type of Christ and we are to be types of Christ today in our world. We can see that the Joseph anointing arising in business, and the marketplace. We will also see the Joseph anointing arise in government and governments of nations. As we see this the first waves of the Joseph anointing will prepare the waves that will follow and even will lead to the waves of the Joseph anointing in the end times. You will see the Joseph anointing in head positions in governments all around the world in the end times. And these end time Josephs will be gates of hope, mercy, wisdom and favor for those nations and the world. 40. A sign in the End Times I personal believe that one of the signs to look for that we are entering in the end times is the arising Joseph Company. What are some others signs to look for? The Church becoming a glorious church full of the glory of Christ, the church fully restored, the apostolic church arising, the city church arising, the harvest of nations, and a holy union between the church and Israel. As we see the end of days coming we will see the Joseph Company arising and place in divine places and positions of favor for the coming judgments. So the Joseph Company is a sign of the end times! What is the Joseph Company? It is gifted, anointed persons place in certain places of power and favor in order to aid and help the church, Israel, and nations of the world during the coming times and the coming judgments. We will begin to see this kind of ministry arise in all areas of power and favor in our world today and this will be the beginning of a new kind of ministry in the earth. There is even judgments, etc. and others happens that are beginning to come upon the world and the soon days that the Joseph ministry is being raised up now for what coming soon. There is a Joseph Ministry that will rise up today for the judgments, and happens that will come in our time. In addition, there will be a Joseph ministry that will rise up for the last days. Moreover, the Lord is arising up a mighty global marketplace army this too will be sign of the end times. Christians in Business, workplace, Government and the marketplace that will prepare the way for return of the King of Kings. There will be those today trained up in the marketplace. There will be a global marketplace army today this is for God's glory that will be manifest today and there is a global marketplace army that will be rise up for the end times to prepare the way of the Lord. 41. The Joseph Company a. Joseph Company Christ is raising a mighty marketplace army in the Earth. God is calling many Christians into business. Business is the new gateway to ministry in the cities and nations. God is calling many Christians to minister not only in business but the marketplace; the marketplace is business, media, government, and education. Every believer has a ministry and a gift. Every Believer should walk in healing the sick, casting on demons, and prophecy. The Five-Fold Government is not for ministry, but is for the equipping of the saints. The work of the Ministry is for the saints. This is the day of saints. Every believer is a priest and a minister in the Body of Christ. God is brining revelational structure and change to the nuclear church, and developing the extended church. The truth is that the church at Antioch there was no division between the church and the marketplace; this is the next reconciliation coming to the Body. God is building bridges and filling in the gaps between the church and the marketplace that the transference of wealth will be a continuing flow between the world and the church. The Marketplace Church is rising in the Marketplace in this day! 1 Pet. 4:10-11 God is making and building covenant connections between the priests and the kings. Within each of the churches and ministries, he is raising and training kings to come along side of priests in the Church. Rev. 1:5-6 Within this mighty marketplace army is the company of Joseph, just like in Genesis God is training and calling forth, and places the Josephs in their positions, these josephs are not only marketplace leaders but anointed for the coming times. They are dreamer chosen to rule next to the Pharaohs, they will be fathers to the Pharaohs. They will foresee the future and the coming redemptive judgments and prepare the people for them. The Lord himself is making the Joseph Company ready for compassion ministries to the poor, building houses of worship and prayer, healing centers, church planting, nation building. They will be the heads over resources. God will bless them in their entrepreneurship that they can arise in the divine promotion and prepare for the coming redemptive judgments upon cities and nations. Before the times of judgments God will rise up Pharaohs that are sensitive and can recognize those who are the Josephs. The Josephs will chose along with the decision coming from the Pharaohs however; it would not be them making it but the Lord working through them. They will chose cities to be Goshen cities for the H.Q. of the resource centers, thus God will place his protection and mercy upon those cities, which all of this is the will of the Lord at work. In addition, there will be cities of refuge set aside up the Lord for his people too in that day. Moreover, these redemptive judgments are making room for the Joseph ministry and the Body of Christ to move forth in their destiny, to rule and reign on earth with Christ. Gen. 41:37-57 In addition, there are Apostles being established in the Church and the Marketplace. They are the generals of the marketplace, business and the extended church. Among the marketplace apostles there will be many who are of the Joseph Company and may of them will come into great wealth this is not only for them, but also for the body of Christ. Joseph is a type of an apostle of today, and Joseph is a type of the Marketplace Apostle today. In addition, God is places in the marketplace and the extended church marketplace prophets; they are connecting and aiding the marketplace apostles in their businesses and companies. Job is type of marketplace prophets for today. Moreover there will be marketplace intercessors strategic place in the marketplace, they are cover in prayer the Joseph company, marketplace apostles, marketplace prophets, marketplace Christians and the extended church apart from that, they are to join forces with the marketplace apostles in their companies and businesses to cover them in prayer too. 1 Tim. 2:1-2 Furthermore, how do you know that you're called to be a Joseph? You not only have dreams and vision about business but helping massive groups of people with resources. And your business is a step toward the fulfillment of this vision. Gen. 37:1-36, 50:15-21 b. Charitable Foundations The Joseph Company is arising in the Earth. They will foresee the coming holy redemptive judgments upon the Nations and the World. They will have the wisdom in how to prepare those nations for what will happen. God will link them into strategic positions throughout this world. He will give them power, influence and resources so that people will listen to him. The redemptive judgments are coming that those nations may be saved in that day. The fundamental purpose is redemption and restoration of those Nations. Gen. 41 The Joseph Company our modern day philanthropy and humanitarians. They used their entrepreneurship and businesses as a stepping-stone to prepare them for their Joseph calling. There are with the Joseph Company different activates and tasks that the Josephs are giving to from the Lord. Rom. 12:8 The Joseph Company will set up charitable institutions and charitable foundations all over the world. Some will have many; some will have few, and some will have one. They will not only use their own money, but will have the anointing for attracting and distributing financial resources. In addition, there will be those Josephs that will work in teams of Josephs and then their will be those Josephs that will be link together their charitable institutions and charitable foundations to work together. Thus there will be networks of Chartable foundations working together for a common vision. 1 Tim. 6:17-19 The Josephs will chose Goshen Cities to be H.Q. for there Joseph Ministry. These Josephs will bring life, heath and protection to those cities and even those cities will become cities of provision. These Goshen cities will be strategic for the Joseph Ministry. Psa. 127 The Josephs will set up operational centers and commend centers for their Joseph Ministry. Most likely the Operational Centers will be based in the Goshen Cities, and the Command Centers base next to their mission mandates. Acts 6:3 The Josephs will set up resources centers around the World. These will be places will their will be food, medical supplies, water, clothes, cleaning supplies, and building materials store up and ready to use. They will be many Trucks prepare, ships, and airplanes, and railroad trains organize and ready to mobilizes into action. In addition, there will be staff of labors and workers at these centers. Moreover, there will be a prepared listed of on called paid and volunteer labors ready and willing to be called up for duty. Gen. 41:47-49 Moreover, their will be Josephs that have nation building organizations, compassion originations, and even diplomatic mission originations. Yes there will be Christen lead diplomatic missions to help make peace between and within nations. These organizations will be linked to the nation building and compassion originations. There will be some Josephs use in diplomatic functions however, this go along with their nation building and compassion tasks. Gen. 41:53-57 Apart from that, not only the Josephs will build resources centers, they will help improve the lives of God's people by building real banks that are set apart from the other banks. They will network their banks together. This will be done with the help of other Marketplace Apostles and Business leaders. Moreover, they will also help improve the lives of Israel. Hebrews and Christians alike will join helping and restoring cities and nations. Israel and the Church will become true brothers in the near future. Gal. 6:10 Furthermore, The Joseph Company will not only aid the nations in trouble but also take care of the Church. The Church will be their top priority in their Joseph Ministries. Gen. 50:15-21 c. Goshen Cities There will be Goshen Cities set aside and protected by the hand of God in coming days. In addition, there will be Cities of Refuge also set aside by the hand of the Lord. We need to know the prophetic words over our cities. We need to know the redemptive gifts of our cities, and we need to stand in gap for our Cites. Psa. 127 As The Joseph Company arising in the Earth. They will be strategic place into positions around the World. They will be strategic link to those with the power and resources. They will be strategic link and networked throughout to prepare for the coming times. As they grow in influence and power they will build centers of resources for the coming times. Prov. 18:25, Prov. 22:29 The Joseph Company will set Goshen Cities aside, and God will place his protection upon these cities in addition, God has giving them the task of chosen those cities that will be set aside by the hand of the Lord. These cities will be strategic centers for the Joseph ministries throughout the world. Gen. 46:28-34, 47:1-12 There will be Cities set aside by the Lord himself for the coming times. These cities are the cities of Refuge that are protected from the coming judgments that will fall upon the earth. These are cities of rest in the lands of earth and these cities of freedom to worship the Lord in freedom. Josh. 20:1-9 Moreover, the cities of Goshen will be use by the Joseph Company for: operational centers, resources centers, and protection for their company and those with them. In addition, these cities are cities of provision in the world and marketplace cities. Beside, the Joseph Company these cities will be home to many of God's people, the Church. Gen. 47:1-12 Nevertheless, the Josephs will foresee the coming judgments upon the earth and they will prepare not only God's people but also the World for them. The Goshen Cities are set aside and protected from these coming judgments that will soon be upon us. Psa. 19:7-11 Furthermore, every believer in Christ, living in their own cities can pray for their cities and the lost in them. God's will is not to bring destruction to our cities, but redemption and restoration, the only things it is up to us if we are going to pray for our cities and the lost in them. Psa. 127 d. Nation Building We have been hearing this word "nation building". To reconstruct a nation after a battle, or building a nation from one thing to another. Making it a democracy or republic government, through the use of an army or a by political means and diplomatic means. Some of this and all of this sounds bad. On the other hand it is nice that after a great battle the winning nation helps rebuild the one who lost. Well I am not talking about nation building in those words. On the contrary, I heard this word through a wonderful prophet, when he linked the Joseph Company with Nation Building, this word ring in my heart. Psa. 127 God's redemptive Judgment will come upon nations that don't follow him as King. The kings of this Earth will know who is the true King of all the Earth. Jesus Christ is the King of Kings. However, there are many nations, with have plans against his church and his beloved Israel in addition, those nations doesn't even do what is right for their own people. God see this, and God's people in those nations are praying and crying out for the Lord to step in their government. God hears their prayers and the times are upon us that he will answer their prayers with holy redemptive judgments. He will rebuke, chastening, and scourge these disobedient nations that don't obey or follow him, for He is the God to all, and He is the Lord to the Church. Psa. 19:7-11 The Josephs will foresee these coming times of judgment upon these nation, they will be strategic place and position in the earth. They will be over many resource centers. They will have the manpower and the financial backing to restored these nations. They will know this through dreams and visions. They will have a visionary mindset toward those nations. God will use the Joseph Company to build Nations in coming days! The Church in the near future will not only is an apostolic church but a kingdom church bringing restoration and healing to the nations. Those who can heal the world hurts will rule and reign over the world. Those who can heal the wounds of a nation will be their leaders. Gen. 41 In addition, the Josephs will help build the third world nations and developing nations that are Turing to the Lord and are calling upon them. Josephs have the anointing to build nations with divine supplies are resources moving through hands of many, and the Josephs are visionaries in Nation Building. Isa. 61:4, 58:12 There will be Josephs who are link to the Pharaohs in those nations, and in sheep nations and will work through them. There will be Joseph's connection to those with the power and money that through them, they will aid those nations. There will be those Josephs who with their own money setting Joseph ministries and foundations aiding those nations in their nation building. There will be those Josephs that will set up Joseph ministries and Charitable institutions and foundations and in turn have a ability to gathering money and resources around the world to build and walk in their Joseph call. There will be those Josephs that will be heads of state and lead their nation in helping other nations in mercy works. These will be those Josephs that will be kings in business and kings in the global economy that will setup charitable intuitions and charitable foundations that in turn will build resources centers ready to build nations when they are call upon. Gen. 41:37-46 In addition, Josephs will establish and build charitable institutions; charitable foundation, operation centers, and building resources centers around the world. Not only their will use their own money and power, but also they will have money and power of those whom they are connected to and they will gather money and help from around the world. Gen. 41:47-49 What are Josephs anyway? Gen. 37:1-19 · Kings in Business and Marketplace, or Government leaders. · Strategic place and position in the earth. · They are philanthropy and humanitarian. · They are gifted in fundraising, attracting and distributing financial resources. · They are anointed in ministry. · They are visionaries · They have prophetic dreams and visions. · They can foresee the future. · They know who to prepare others for what is coming. · They are diplomatic and are naturally skilled diplomacy and political. · They are skillful in administrative and organization skills. · Supernatural favor and influence. The Josephs will have a grace and a anointing from God to be naturally skillful in diplomacy and political. They will carry diplomatic functions in dealing with these nations. They will use their help in those nations in all aspect of Nation Building. In addition, these Josephs will have a resource of skillful people working with them and under them in their administration. Gen. 41:53-57 Apart from that, Apostles and Prophets have a diplomatic function in ministering and standing before Heads of State. In addition, Marketplace Apostles and Marketplace Prophet will walk in this diplomatic function in ministering in their ministry. Matt. 24:14 Beside, Josephs will be used to not only to build nations but also, build cities and states when called upon. Apart from that, Josephs will use their resources to be God's supply and support to build and aid in compassion ministries to the poor, building houses of worship and prayer, building healing centers, church planting and nation building. However, Each Joseph will not all have the same task some will be giving to compassion ministries to the poor, some will be giving to building worship centers and prayer centers, some will be giving to building healing centers, some will be giving to aid others in church planting, and some will be giving for nation building. Psa. 127 Furthermore, the judgments of God that are coming are holy redemptive judgments to open the doors for the Saints, for the Church and the Joseph Ministry. If you since, and know you're a Joseph or you're a Christian in business, you're a Christian in the marketplace, it is now time to get connected, network and prepare. Gen. 50:15-21 42. Corporation Dealings As God is dealings with nations, cities and people groups he also deals with businesses, companies, and corporations. We as Christians in the Business world need to believe this truth and apply it to our world. As God can bless nations and cities, He wills to bless your business or corporation if you walk within His Word. Your business or your company can come into covenant with God. The Kingdoms of this world shall become the kingdoms of our Lord and we shall reign with him. Is our company or corporation a kingdom that Christ will reign over? Yes it is! Jesus Christ is the King of Kings and we are those kings in King Christ. Apart from that, the world is the new promiseland we are called by Christ to possess the kingdoms of this world to become the kingdoms of Christ and we shall rule and reign with Him. Nevertheless, if your corporation is a kingdom of Christ should you not have intercessors working in your company praying for your company? Should you not make intercession for your corporation? Yes you sure have Marketplace Intercessors. In addition, if your company is a kingdom in Christ should you not hear from the prophets about your corporation? Do we not need prophetic council about our business deals? Yes we need Marketplace Prophets in the life of our corporations. Moreover, if your corporation is a kingdom in Christ should you not look for leadership and wisdom from Marketplace Apostles? Yes you need Marketplace Apostles. Beside, if your company is a Christian own company do you think you should pray to the Lord of the Harvest for labors for your business? If your business is of God do you think you need to hire Marketplace Christians? It is not that you will not hire those in world, which you will do. However, you need those who are connected to God to work with you in business. Furthermore, if you are a Christian and your business is your stewardship of what God's entrusted to your care don't you think you should run your business the way God wants it to be done? 43. Corporate Anointing For Business God deals with businesses and corporations in the same way as he deals with nations, cities and people groups. It is time for your business to become an extension of the Kingdom of God. It is time for your business to be a kingdom business. It is time for you to be in business with God. We must establish unity as we establish unity within a local church. We need to learn how not to generate strife and how to stop it before disunity begins. We must learn how to deal with murmuring, carnality, rebellion and unbelief in our businesses. There is a corporate anointing for your business. God wants every one in your company to walk in the anointing. God wants your business to be a body ministry just as a local church is. The goals of every Christian business is to see Christ formed into your business, and to see Christ manifest through your business. There is an anointing that pours upon you and covers every person who is in your company. This is why it is now time for you as a head to connect back to the Kingdom of God. It is now time for you to do the will of God in your business. Every person who is going to be business needs to be vision minded. There must be a set vision for your company. This vision cannot come by human means instead it needs to come through revelation. Where there is vision, there is provision. This is not only for the local church no longer; it is for your business too. Christ is rising up business visionaries for His Kingdom With a set vision your corporation will walk in unity. Unity comes through vision, and vision comes through revelation. This is what is needed for the corporate anointing flow in your business and lives of those in your company. We must learn and maintain unity. This is through a set vision for your business. In unity there is a power and strength to reach for the skies. If we are in unity with God's plan we will walk in power in our very own business. Furthermore, we must guard the unity in our companies, and keep on tack with the set vision. We need to live our business as a kingdom business connected to the Kingdom of God to establish the Kingdom of God. 44. Boardroom The Holy Spirit is in you and will guide you in your boardroom meetings. God give us power to get wealth in our boardroom. Make the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit your partners in business. We can just say this but we must do it in real life. We need to have the right priorities and learn to practice the presence of God in your business. We need too live a prayerful life. Prayer must become your lifestyle. To marketplace Christians, work is worship, for work comes before worship so worship God in our work unto Him. Begin your day with prayer. Pray over your business, and pray over the boardroom before the meetings. Speak peace and grace to each person that come into the boardroom. Seek God's guidance on all areas of your business. Be led by the Spirit in your business. Spiritual gifts are not only for the church, they are also for the marketplace. Believe God for the word of knowledge. Pray for the discerning of spirits, so that you may know the true plans in their hearts. Be open to Holy Spirit leading in business. Let God be your CEO! Let God be your boss! God can teach you to do business in his way. In my own personal life, the Lord said to me one day when my wife and I were in the bookstore to look for business books. While I am looking, the Lord said I would teach you to do business the way I do business. WOW! We are marketplace Christians who are called to do business the way God does business! 45. Boiling Point Then your day reaches the boiling point. Then your week reaches the boiling point. Then life does not go the way you like it to. When trials reach their boiling point, it's time to trust God. To trust God that you may not understand everything that is happening. You may not have the strength to keep on going. This is when you must learn to trust God. God is using these situations and circumstances to make you a better person. This is God's school of promotion. God will turn each of these situations around for your good. Ever if the devil comes against what meant for evil, will turn over for your good. Beside, the devil does not have the kind of power God is teaching you through these times. God is using these situations to deal with the inward part of the hidden parts of your life. Through all this, you will be living a sacrificial, holy, acceptable life unto God. Amen. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and a contrite heart. This is what God is calling you to! God is forming us into a broken spirit and broken and contrite heart. Everyone must be broken before God, before they can walk in their true destiny. You may think you are in your true destiny, but you will not until you are broken first. Don't allow your situations speak that you are not called to do that which God calls you. Don't allow circumstances to say to you that you will never reach your destiny. Your present situations do not determine your future. Your situations and your circumstance are not bigger than God. Your situations are not your life. You are going through only one trail. Trails will not last long. And trails are not meant for life. They are like going to college. After you are done with High School of the Holy Spirit, now you must go to the College of the Holy Spirit. And college does not last for long. It may seem it does but soon you will be in your true destiny. What shall I do in my situations that I am facing? The number one thing should do is learn to trust. Number two thing you should is lean to wait on God. Number three thing you should do is to allow God to teach you in these times. The number four thing you should do is pray. You must pray until the peace of God comes. Then in the peace of God, the Holy Spirit will begin to speak to you. Also, we should enter into time of worship unto God. After you are done with prayer time, learn to keep the peace of God throughout your day. Learn to pray when things don't go your way. Remember that the Holy Spirit is your comforter in all times! 46. Deadlock Understanding the spiritual forces behind deadlock is important. Most of the time, we don't see the hearts of men. We don't know their plans behind the plans. We don't know their inward motive. God desires truth in the inward parts. Deadlock can come to our business, ministry, in the local church, in your family and in your life. What is deadlock? The American Heritage Dictionary: deadlock means a standstill resulting from the opposition of two unrelenting forces; to bring or come to a deadlock. Furthermore, deadlock among board members in a corporation occurs when two opposing views are equal in strength. The opposing views may be excellent, but if they cause deadlock, they become detrimental because the board needs to be able to move things forward. In those times we need to be prayerful and have patience. We need to see the root of the problem. If there is room for reconciliation, we should see reconciliation. We can have reconciliation with anyone who has a conscience. We should "pursue peace with all men." (Hebrews 12:14a) Moreover, "if it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men." (Romans 12:17) Beside, this we should be clothed in humility and meekness. We are to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. (Matthew 10:16) We are to be bold as a lion in those days. (Proverbs 28:1) There are spiritual forces behind deadlock and we first have to deal with these spiritual farces before we deal with it in natural. 47. Portfolio Portfolio is your credit, savings, and retainment savings, and investments. God has given us power to make wise investments. He wants us to make wise investments. He wants to add to our portfolio. He wants to enrich our portfolio. However, most Christians don't even have a portfolio. This needs to change, for we are faithful with the minas so that we can be faithful over ruling over cities. God can lead and guide us in our investments. God can give us prophetic word to help us make the right investments. The Holy Spirit can be you best ever stock broker. He can direct on the best investments. We need to be prayerful over our investments by praying watchfully over each one it. So that our minds are clear to hear from God. Saints we need to understand the world of investments. It is a business in itself. We need to be knowledgeable on stocks and all investments. God has given us power to get wealth to establish his church and kingdom. Marketplace Christians must know that profit is good. God has given us power to get profit, and he is the God of increase. Not only God wants to have profit but to enjoy it. He did not send you into the marketplace and not allow you to enjoy it. As long as we do it in an ethical manner, God will bless us with profits. In addition, we have right priorities in business and with the profit we make. Moreover, as long as the profits don't own us but we own them, God will continue to bless us. 48. Spiritual Blessings Each born again Christian needs to do a word study on the word 'blessed.' For who is blessed can only be blessed. It can't be a curse so when a person speaks a curse over you, it just bounces off you. This is why we must bless those who curse us and curse not. I believe the reason why many Christians are so bound up and do not prosper is because they don't bless those who do them wrong. In addition we have to love and pray for our enemies. We should pray for blessings to come upon them. Even for Churches Pastors, when someone leaves your Church, you should not curse them but bless them. You don't own the sheep as you are just a caretaker entrusted by the head of the Church to care for them. Jesus Christ is over you. He is your head, and the blessing that come upon him comes upon you. So when someone speaks a curse over you, it can't speak it over you for they are not over you in Christ. There is only one between God and Man that is Christ Jesus our Lord. When anyone or any leaders position is angry with you and wills to do you harm, you must appear unto the head of the Church and his court to overthrow his words. We are blessed through Christ Jesus our Lord. First you are blessed, which means he has laid his right hand upon you and blessed you. Then the power of that first blessing is a path to all other blessings to come in your life. Ephesians 1:3 say "who has blessed us with every spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ." God the Father has blessed us with every blessing. We have these blessing not based our how good we have been but on the Blood of Christ Jesus our Lord. It's every spiritual blessing! Every means everything in every area; it means all blessings given from father to us through Jesus. Spiritual blessings mean that our blessings are supernatural and come from supernatural means from heaven. And some of those blessings are wealth, prosperity, success, and fullness. In heavenly places mean that God's will for our lives. We need to know our place in his kingdom, and in his church. We need to know the gifts, functions, offices, his purpose and plan for our life. In addition, in heavenly places mean that our blessings are not conformed to what happen around is on earth. In addition we are seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus, our set place in the kingdom and the church, which reign on earth. In Deut. 8:18, Acts 1: 8 & Eph. 1:3; power and blessing go hand on hand and are not apart from each other. The power given to us to get wealth, and to be a witness is full of blessings. And the blessings come through the power of God give to each one of us. In addition when God the Father blessed us he empowered us to be blessed in all area. And to each blessing it is empowerment in our life. And when he blessed us that through us others around may be blessed. 49. Increase Our God is a God of increase and he wants to bring increase in our lives. As we move forth, we see time and time again God is bringing increase in our business and marketplace. If you believe in the four gospels, you must believe in the book of acts. In it, you can see clearly that God is a God of increase. God has given us power to get wealth in order to establish the church and the kingdom of God. His power to get wealth in order to establish the kingdom of God in the marketplace to change cities and nation should be the purpose for every marketplace Christ. When Jesus fed the five thousand, he took five loaves and two fish and through power of God multiplied supernaturally those loaves and fishes to the point that he could feed the whole multitudes. God wants us to have community thinking and not only see our needs but those around us. God does not want to leave anyone out. It should be us who had been leaving others out. Do you have the vision of the multitudes? If you do submit your gifts and talents to God and pray over them, then the kingdom of God will come upon them. Change and increase will happen. Keys to increase will help you get yourself on the way to increases in your life and business. 1. Faithfulness: if you are faithful with few, you will be faithful over many. 2. Know your limits: fulfill your boundaries, so God can begin increase in your life. 3. Have vision of the multitudes and renew your thinking to community thinking. 4. Honor God with what he has already given you. 5. See that you are a stewardship and God owns everything you have. 6. Submit your gifts and your business to God and pray for increase to happen. 7. Don't listen to anything that speaks againt your increase. When you have increased, keep applying these keys in order to have more increase. Don't stop where you are at and don't stop when you get there but keep on moving. When we are faithful with your minas, you will be faithful in ruling over cities. 50. Practical Prosperity Practical Prosperity means God wants us not to be in debt to anyone, so that each one of us may pay his or her bills on time and be able to life a comfortable life. (Proverbs 30:7-9) This does not mean that God does not want us to be rich or that every one is going to be rich. The truth is the blessings of the Lord makes one rich, so that many can do good deeds on earth. God's will is to make your ways prosperous and to have good success in whatever you do. (Joshua 1:8; Psalms 1:2-3) Through our divine connection with God, whatever you put your hands to do, you shall prosper----this is practical prosperity. God's will is for every Christian to enjoy the fruits of their labor and to be busy with the joy of your heart. God wants you to have the job that you want and to be blessed through your job and enjoy the fruits of your labor. (Ecclesiastes 5:19-20) Practical Prosperity is the foundation to your comfortable life. This is the lowest level and every Christian should be blessed at this. To be poor is not to be blessed. God wants our needs and wants to be met so that we can be witness to others about the goodness of the Lord in this life. In addition, God wants to free us up so that we can obey him more. This is what I mean by practical prosperity. However, this is only the beginning of the goodness of the Lord. 51. Possess We are the salt of the World. We are the light of this World. God is putting flavor back into us to be witness in this time. He is opening a wide gate unto us and the gate is the marketplace. He is setting his church on a hill for all to see. The church is a city on earth that is called to give light to this world. The church is a lampstand that gives light to the house of the wicked. God is placing his lampstand in the marketplace to give his light to the marketplace. Saints! Christ is calling us to shine our light before men in the marketplace. God is calling us to show them our good works that they will in turn glorify our Father in Heaven. Saints! we are called to the marketplace. He has blessed us and the meek shall inherit the earth. The meek are the saints. One of our inheritances is the Earth. And a part of these inheritances is the marketplace. Protest is not the kingdom method. But I am not saying this to stop you from protesting for I don't think it is a sin at all. But I am speaking of the kingdom way. One of the kingdom methods is to possess the gates of our enemies. We are called to possess the kingdoms of this world, instead of standing outside in some rally to protest againt sin. God is saying that now is the time do it in the kingdom way. Saints! we receive the kingdoms first through revelation and the prophetic while in prayer and intercession. God is going to favor the saints of the Most High in the marketplace. The kingdoms of this world shall become the kingdoms of our God. After you receive the kingdoms of this world in prayer, then you should obey the command to possess those kingdoms for your Lord. Even Jesus said he would give even his kingdom to us as inheritances, which has been prepared for you before the foundation of the world. We are called to be head and above in every area of this world. We are called to head in everyplace of business. We are called to be the head in everyplace in the marketplace. We are called to possess these companies and businesses and even the whole of marketplace we are to possess. 52. Power To Get Wealth God has given us power to get wealth! The main reason for this is to establish his covenant in the Earth. This is according to that we are always in mind of God in every area of our life. In addition, according to your prophetic destiny that God has spoken over your life in prayer. Deuteronomy 8:18 are the Acts 1:8 of the Old Testament for through wealth we can be witness of his goodness in this World. God has given you power to get wealth! Wealth is not your power. The source of your power is the Holy Spirit. Money is your servant, not your limitations. God has given you power to begin and to do business in this World. God has given you power to be the head in you area of business. God has given you power to minister in the marketplace through getting wealth. Deuteronomy 8:18 When the Holy Spirit comes upon you! You shall receive power to get wealth to establish my church in this World. The Holy Spirit gives us power to be a witness and in the same way he shall give us power to get wealth that we can witnesses for our Lord and establish his kingdom in our cities and ends of the world. The Gifts of Spirit are given to profit of the Body of Christ and God wants to bring profit to his Church through his gifts in the marketplace. Acts 1:8 Behold our Lord Jesus Christ has given you authority and power to get wealth that you will trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by no means hurt you. God is calling us entering into the marketplace to cast down demonic strongholds and establish righteousness in the gates of the marketplace. Luke 9:19 53. Saints Plan What is the Saints Plan? I believe it is a plan that we will see in the Saints Movement and the Marketplace Movement. The Saints movement and Marketplace Movement will go hand on hand next to each other. The Saints Movement is calling the common believer back to the work of ministry. The Marketplace Movement is the move of Church in Marketplace. Today give Saints Plan, which I believe we will see lived out in these two moves of God. 1. God has given us power to get wealth so that we can be a witness in our cities and nations and to establish His kingdom. Deut. 8:18 2. When the Holy Spirit came upon us we receive power to be a witness. The power is manifestation through the gifts of the Spirit. Not only that Holy Spirit give us power to be a witness but also to get wealth and through wealth we shall be a witness. Acts. 1:8 3. God has given us authority and power over the enemy and kingdom of darkness. Not only that When Holy Spirits comes upon us we shall have power and authority to get wealth in order to trample on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy. Luke 10:19 4. There are Kings and there are priest. The Priests arte called to minister within the four walls of the Church. And Kings are called to minister outside the four walls of Church and bring provision to the Priests. Where there is vision there is provision. Rev. 1:5-6 5. God shall transfer the kingdoms of this World over to the Saints and they shall kingdoms of God. We are call as Saints to possess the Kingdoms of this World for our God. The Nations are our inheritance through our Lord. The ends of the earth is our possession. Rev. 11:15, Psa. 2:8 6. The glory of the latter temple is not only a spiritual building but also an outside work. Hag. 6-9 7. The wealth of the Gentiles shall come to the Church. And that wealth has been stored up for righteous and is time for the transference of wealth to the Church. Isa. 60:5, Prov. 13:22 54. Transference Of Wealth The transference of wealth is coming to the house of the Lord. Everyone needs to be in place. From the vocation ministers to the marketplace ministers, from the Priests who minister in house of the Lord to the Kings that war in the marketplace. We must build a bridge from the Church to the Marketplace to prepare for the transference of wealth to come. There must be connections and covenants made. God moves with covenant and we need to repent of our covenant breaking ways. First it is our covenant God made to us, and then it is covenant made to each other through Christ. In addition we need to learn how to pray for wealth not just in the financial area, for wealth mean more then money. When we pray, it should be done not only with knowledge but to pray with revelation and prophetic. In addition we should learn to war for wealth. How is the transference of wealth going to come? Before we learn how it will come we must know the reason that it will come. Reason number one is to build the house of the Lord. Reason number two is harvesting the nations into the kingdom. Reason number three is to establish the Church and the kingdom on earth. Reason number four is rule and regain over every area in this life. We are called to head in every area on Earth. The transference of wealth will come through but not limited to these channels transference of wealth. Number one wealth will come from the wicked. Heads of state will give unto the house the Lord for peace of their nations. Wicked businessmen will be led by the fear of God to support the work of the Lord. Number two wealth will come from God fearing Christians in the marketplace. See God is going to raise up businesses among local churches and ministries to bring in provision for the vision. Number three wealth will come through supernatural means. Number four wealth will come through the everyday common Christians in giving in obedience through leading of the Spirit. Number five Apostles have an anointing for attracting and distributing financial resources. The wealth of the Gentiles shall come to you! Wealth will come to build the house of the Lord. Nations and heads of state and the wealthy and even wicked of them all will come to give for the purpose of the Kingdom. In dark days when evil things are happening everywhere, people will come from all over to seek peace of God in the house of the Lord. Coming bring an offering on the behalf of their nation while being. Isaiah 60:5 The Wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous! God allowed and moved behind the séances making the wicked to become wealthy by the help of God. Even through they did not know it is God who has done for them. God ordain them to care for the wealth God give then until the times and season's change that Body of Christ has been made ready for release of this wealth given by God to wicked. The wicked were ordained to be God's bankers for such a time which God has called them. Proverbs 13:22 To the sinner God give the work of gathering and collecting that he may give it unto them who are appointed by God, the Church. But what we need to prepare ourselves for those places, which we shall be appointed? And to be given by God in time of preparing wisdom, knowledge and joy from God and to do that which is acceptable in his sight. Ecclesiastes 2:26 When we have God's vision for our life and ministry, then we have His vision of our local Churches. Then the God of heaven himself will prosper us; therefore we his servant can arise to build in the house of the Lord. Nehemiah 2:20 55. First Steps The first steps are the hardest to make. It takes courage to obey God when no one believes in your vision. The firsts steps are steps that make you who you are called to be. First steps and the firsts days are not always easy. The first steps is the most difficult but also the most crucial because it will propel you in the direction of your destiny. When you take a look at successful businesspersons, you may say to yourself I want to be like that person. It is very easy to say this about any successful person. But if we can look back in their beginning, we will not think so well about them. Before they were successful, God knew them and picked them to do what they are doing. The question is weather or not you are going to take the first steps of obedience and begin to move in the anointing. A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. When we step forth into our destinies, we step forth in faith, in grace, strength and glory. If God give a heart for business, you should step forth and obey God. If God give a vision for business, you should obey God. People may not believe you, and people may not support you. However if you take the first steps, God will be on your side. Not everyone has God on his side. There may not be a road made for you. You may have to make a new road for your visionary ideals that God gave you. Maybe not many have gone this way before, or it may be that no one has been where you are going. God is calling us to go where no man has been before! God called us to create new success and new money and new ideas. This is a day of visionary leadership in the marketplace and this visionary leadership will come from marketplace Christians. |
