Fulfill your purpose in the marketplace!

Are you aware that up to 97% of Christians surveyed disclose that they don’t hear sermons or messages that specifically connect their work life to their spiritual life? Are you one of them? If so, Dream B.I.G. in 3D will be the missing link for you to activate your gifts, find your niche, and fulfill God’s calling for you in the workplace.

The Cyrus Calling (Isaiah 45)

Mike Bickle of the 24 hour prayer ministry International House of Prayer (IHOP) in Kansas City gave a very compelling message during the most recent Joseph Company Marketplace Conference a few weeks ago. The “Cyrus Calling” is a significant concept for Christian entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs who are serious about advancing the Kingdom of God in the marketplace to grasp. Check out the video below…

The Christian Patriot by Patrice Tsague

“Brethren, my heart desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they might be saved.” ~ Romans 10:1

by Patrice Tsague

What is your view of patriotism? Do you consider yourself a patriot? Do you pray for your country?

No one should be a greater patriot of his or her nation of residence than the Biblical Entrepreneur, since one of the objectives of business is to bring transformation to the community and the nation. The Biblical Entrepreneur is the engine of God’s economy; he is the provider of goods and services, the job creator, taxpayer, tither, philanthropist, and the shaper of values. The Biblical Entrepreneur is a patriot. However, the challenge with patriotism is that some, out of a lack of understanding or due to the historical problems of their nation, reject the notion of being a patriot. On the other hand, others, out of regard for the great history of their nation of residence, put their love for the nation above their love for the kingdom. In some cases there is just a complete misunderstanding of how to be a patriot for one’s country of birth or residence without compromising allegiance to the Kingdom.

A patriot is one who loves, supports and defends his nation. A Christian patriot is a citizen of heaven who is committed to bringing the kingdom of God to earth, beginning with the country where he resides in, out of a sincere love for that country and his commitment to the kingdom mandate.

The Apostle Paul was a Christian patriot; he recognized that his citizenship was not of this world yet his commitment to bringing the kingdom of God to Israel and the Gentiles was unparalleled. His love for these nations was out of his response to the mandate he received from his Commander in Chief and his sincere love for those nations. He never compromised kingdom values in his efforts to demonstrate his love and support for Israel. He recognized that the best way to show love to Israel was to show Israel the way of the kingdom. Although he was proud of Israel’s achievements, he recognized its limitations and errors. And although he recognized Israel’s limitations and errors, he still celebrated its achievements and God’s favor upon the nation.

Unfortunately, some Christians lack the proper understanding of a balanced view of patriotism. As a result, they either put their love for their country of residence above their commitment to the kingdom or think their commitment to the kingdom demands that they reject their country of residence. Fortunately, it is not an “either or” proposition since Christian patriots are called to demonstrate their commitment to the Kingdom by their love for their countries.

How do you exemplify Christian patriotism?

1. Develop a kingdom worldview, Matthew 6:33
2. Understand the kingdom mandate, Mathew 28:18-20
3. Pray for the country and its leaders, Romans 10:1, Jeremiah 29:7
4. Celebrate the achievements of the country, Acts 13:16-32, Romans 10:2
5. Confront the unrighteousness of the country, Romans 10:3
6. Enjoy the blessings and privileges of the country, Jeremiah 29:4-7
7. When given the opportunity, share the good news, Romans 10:9-11

Christian patriotism is not easy but it is necessary if we are to achieve the mandate of Christ in any nation. For those of us who reside in a nation where there is a historical commitment to Judeo-Christian principles, we must remember never to make the mistake that the Jews made in the time of Jesus; they valued their traditions and achievements more than the God who gave them the tradition and achievements. For those who reside in a nation where there has been historical injustice, we must remember not to be so angered by the injustice that we forget how God has worked throughout the history of that country. As Christian patriots we are called to be grateful while demonstrating the love of Christ.

Where is your country of residence? Have you been a Christian patriot where you reside? Pray that God may show you ways to demonstrate His love for that nation without compromising kingdom principles though your business.

Scarcity vs Abundance by Patrice Tsague

 

“Then His disciples said to Him, “Where could we get enough bread in the wilderness to fill such a great multitude?” ~ Matthew 15:33

by Patrice Tsague

Do you believe there are enough opportunities and resources to go around?  Do you fear that the success of your competitor will limit your success?

I am always amazed at the fact that even the most mature Christian operates based on the mindset of scarcity. Scarcity is a belief that there is insufficient supply of resources and opportunities to go around, while abundance is the belief that there is enough. Some believe that the pie gets bigger based on our faith, creativity and innovation while others believe that the pie is restricted to the size that we can see before us, so we must all hurry up and get our share before it runs out. What do you believe?

In Matthew 15, Jesus has just finished healing the multitude. Recognizing that they are hungry, He called on His disciples to find food for them to eat. His disciples are surprised by His request because they are in the wilderness and do not see provision anywhere in sight.  Jesus asks, “How many loaves do you have?”  They respond, “Seven, and a few little fish.” Notice that they had something but did not think it was enough. Jesus commands the multitude to sit down on the ground. He takes the bread, blesses it, and feeds over four thousand people, including men, women and children, with seven baskets of food left over. This story is found in various versions throughout the Gospels.

Jesus never saw a limitation of resources no matter the circumstances. Rather, He trusted the full provision of God the Father in every situation, while the disciples operated based on what they could see and did not tap into God’s abundant provision. What is the difference between an abundance mindset and a scarcity mindset?

Abundance mindset                Scarcity mindset

Trust God’s ability to provide     Trust in your own ability

Walk by faith                                 Walk by sight

Hopeful and optimistic               Full of fear and doubt

Share and give                              Hoard

Walk in contentment                  Never satisfied

Steward mentality                        Ownership mentality

Complete others                            Competitive

Exemplify fruit of the Spirit       Exemplify works of the flesh

Where do you fall? How do you react to feeling squeezed by the daily demands of life upon the resources you steward? Abundant thinking is not easy because the news media and our friends and family remind us daily of what we do not have and what we need. We are constantly comparing ourselves with our neighbors, which at times makes us feel even worse about what we think we do not have.  However, the benefits of the abundance mindset is that we walk in peace, God-fidence, gratefulness and are able to be a blessing to others. Take whatever resources you feel may be limited and begin to bless and thank God for them. Ask Him to open your eyes to see the abundance so you may walk in His complete provision for your life and business.

Forsaking All by Patrice Tsague

“So when they had brought their boats to land, they forsook all and followed Him.“ ~ Luke 5:11

by Patrice Tsague

Have you really given it all up for Christ? Are you operating your business on biblical principles out of Christian duty or because you recognize that it is God’s business? What else are you holding back from the Lord?

There is a difference between doing things for God and letting God do things through you, seeing Him as Savior and seeing Him as Lord. In Luke chapter 5, Jesus gets into the boat of Peter the fisherman to preach the Gospel. Jesus recognized that the businessman, whose boat He was using, had caught nothing all night. Once He completed His message he turned to Peter and gave him some fishing tips. Jesus’ instruction probably produced the greatest one time fishing harvest that Peter and his business partners had ever experienced. Moved by this experience, Peter recognized that the man he was dealing with was the Lord. Once Peter acknowledged Jesus as his savior, Jesus speaks destiny into Peter’s life, “from now on I will make you a fisher of man”. Without hesitation, Peter and his partners forsake all and follow Jesus. They make Him their Lord.

Have you had a marketplace experience with Jesus? Beyond Him being the Savior of your soul, have you made Him the Lord of your life and business?

In contrast to Peter and his partners’ response, Matthew 19:16-22 tells the story of a rich young ruler who comes to Jesus with a request for what he must do to obtain eternal life. Jesus’ response is that he must obey the commandments. The rich young ruler tells Jesus that he has done all that from the time of his youth. Jesus instructs him to forsake all and follow Him, but the rich young ruler goes away saddened because he feels he has too much to lose.

What was the difference between the rich young ruler and Peter and his partners? Why was Peter (and his partners) quick to forsake all, while the rich young ruler was saddened by the thought of forsaking all?

It is easy for us to think that once we put on “the kingdom business label” and take a Biblical Entrepreneurship class we are right with God and can receive His blessing, but God is looking for more than just labels. He is looking for us to follow Him and surrender all for His sake. He wants us to let Him take the wheel of our life and our business.

Like the rich young ruler, you may have done all that is required in the law since you committed your life and business to Him, but have you truly surrendered your life and business to Him? Evaluate yourself and your business today. Ask the Lord to show you the areas of your life that you still need to forsake for His namesake.

Bring Christian Entrepreneurship Training to Your Church, Community, or Conference

As part of my 2011 Crusade vs Unemployment, I will be be traveling to churches teaching people how to be Biblical Entrepreneurs. So what is Biblical Entrepreneurship? Nehemiah Project International Ministries, Inc., which specializes in Christian Entrepreneurship training describes it as:

“A Biblically-based process of identifying opportunities, taking calculated risks, solving problems, and exercising business stewardship for biblical profit. It involves utilizing the gifts, skills and treasures that the Lord has given us to establish a kingdom business.” [click here to learn more]

My goal is to help Christian catalysts get on mission in the marketplace, especially in the area of entrepreneurship. If that includes you, I would like to connect with you to see how we can bring this transformational program to your church, community, or conference.

Thrive on Purpose!

Christians Take Ministry to Work

I have written in previous blogs about the walls between the “sacred and secular” coming down, i.e. Christians understanding that the calling to business and entrepreneurship is just as significant as the call to pastor. So I get really excited when I find more people who are coming into this recognition.

In this video, Paul Strand investigates what some people of faith are doing to bring Christ into the marketplace. Enjoy!
