One day God woke me up very early and shared with me that He wanted to send out 6 foundational messages to business leaders…one per day for 6 days. Here is the 2nd of 6.
“Business Leaders! I am in EVERYTHING you do!”
As you read Leviticus 26:1-13 (ESV) “Reward for Obedience” notice how active I am in providing.
- Verse 4 “I will give you rains in their season”
- Verse 6 “And I will give peace to the land”
- Verse 9 “I will turn toward you and make you fruitful and multiply you, and I will establish My covenant with you”
- Verse 11 “And I will make My dwelling place among you”
- Verse 12 “I will walk among you and be your God”
- Verse 13 “I broke the bars of your yoke”
As businesses and organizations move forward into these times and seasons, we are returning to this sense of My involvement in every aspect of what you do. Whether everyone in the organization is aware of this or not isn’t relevant, I want My people to be aware of it and to behave accordingly…which will bring the revival in the marketplace so many are praying for. I have heard your prayers. Prayers for My return, prayers for revival. I am answering them in many ways, but one primary way is through the very people reading this who work in the marketplace.
When you assume I will provide what I share in Leviticus 26:1-13, you live and work differently. You rely upon Me more and more, you worry less and less and you find success within a place of peace and rest. There may be overwhelm and chaos all around you (or it may feel this way) but you do not have to buy into this because you know:
“I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be My people.” Leviticus 26:12
By knowing this, you become able to obey My commands, your trust in Me strengthens, and it creates an upward cycle of being able to obey My commands which increases your trust in Me. From this, all the promises come:
- V4 – you will have what you need.
- V5 – provision will last until the next provision comes.
- V6 – you will not be afraid of your competitors; I will remove that which seeks to destroy you.
- V7 – you will take over competitors (~enemies) companies.
- V8 – even when you appear to be small, you will overtake and succeed. Imagine a smaller company taking over a larger company (your ~enemy)
- V9 I will give you favor, cause you to be fruitful, and increase your numbers. I will fulfill My promises to you.
- V10 You will not run out of anything you need before having even more overtake.
I would like to hear less about growth for the sake of growth and the desire to take business away from competitors. Language like this creates a limited mindset (there are limited customers, and you have to fight for them), which is not a Godly or Kingdom mindset. Instead, focus on My commandments and knowing Me more. Love Me, love your neighbors (customers, employees, vendors) as yourself (love yourself). Listen to My prophets for your businesses and organizations and seek out the wisdom I share through them…but also, listen to Me for yourself. Trust Me with your:
-
- Time
- Energy
- Motivation.
If you don’t have one of these 3 things, there is a reason. Seek My reasoning and find freedom from the lack of time, energy or motivation.
I am your God. I love you and I am really, really, really good. Better than you can imagine so I would like to show you.
Seek Me and I will be found.”
