THE PASTORING OF BUSINESS

THE PASTORING OF BUSINESS

If you own a business and you have truly said, "I surrender all to you Lord" then I will take you at your word. I will receive you and your business. You will no longer be a business owner but I will make you the pastor of My new business. Every customer changes from a customer, to an unofficial member of your congregation. They will continue to act and behave as a customer, but the kingdom views them as your responsibility to introduce the kingdom too. You are to love them as I love them. You must no longer see then as dollar signs, but be "moved with compassion for them, because they are like sheep without a shepherd; and you must begin to teach them many things." Mark 6:34 (AMP)

Every handshake, every smile, and verbal communication needs to exude My Love for them. As a kingdom business pastor and an ambassador, you are commissioned to get to know them and be personally involved in some way by standing in gap, for them. Learn their names, and their family's names, but above all listen for their heart to speak. I will give you the ability to read between the lines of their expressions. Without them opening their mouths you will feel their pain. Without any prior knowledge of their situation, I will cause you to speak My word to them, because it is "quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." Hebrews 4:12 (KJV)

As a business pastor there are no walls nor limits to your sphere of influence. You must view everyone differently, they are no longer, delivery men, sales men, order clerks, UPS and FEDEX and postal workers, but they are your congregation. You have thousands of customers, including taxi drivers, bus drivers, police and firemen that are under your care. Each one of these are in contact with hundreds in their realm every day. All that they touch is your sphere of influence. You have a very large Sunday school, as every child involved in these lives becomes your responsibility to influence toward the kingdom.

Oh your thinking, what about the money part of the business? Remember you gave Me the business, don't worry about that part, you just "seek (aim at and strive after) first of all My kingdom and My righteousness (My way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together including money and favor will be given you besides. [34] So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble." Matthew 6:33-34 (AMP) The better you pastor, more business I will give you to work with.

If your congregation, formerly known as customers, venders, and employees, do not know you are a Christian by your fruits, it means you are not spending enough time with Me.

Remember "they that wait upon Me, shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint" Isaiah 40:31 (KJV) and it will be obvious your one of My business pastors!
