God’s presence has always been a mark of distinction for His people. It is the same for God’s servants in the marketplace. The Scripture tells us that His presence will produce tangible benefits in our daily lives. There are practical ways we can position ourselves to experience the presence of God in our lives and businesses.

Equal Responsibility, Equal Anointing

Many marketplace leaders have the mistaken concept that their work is “secular” and therefore God has little interest in their daily work life. Nothing is further from the truth. There were two pillars in Solomon’s Temple that dispelled that notion. God places highest value on the character of a man, not his position or occupation.

Inspiration for Leaders Is Found Outside The Camp

We Own Nothing: He Owns Everything!

Throughout history, God has always raised up men and women to be His voice during a crisis. Often, they don’t have the resumé that would lead us to believe they are leaders.

God Gives The Power to Get Wealth

The Kingdom reality is that God gives us the power to make wealth. Though we often take credit for successful business deals, the Scripture is clear that it is God who makes these things profitable. This ability always comes with responsibilities. God tells us to “…remember" this reality.

Favor is God’s Instrument of Change

Almost every professional person I know has prayed for the favor of God. Yet most of us don’t understand it or what our obligations are when we receive it. Favor is a powerful instrument that God will use in our lives to institute promotion and change. We explore God’s favor, how it works, why it comes, and what our response to God’s favor must be.

Service Before Leadership - Serving God in Government

Serving God in government is often overlooked in discussion of the marketplace equation. Yet, God is the author of government and He is moving in this area like never before. There are hallmarks of this kind of service. We must identify those with the call to government and align ourselves with them, as they are God’s representatives to us.
