Speak!
When God speaks, creation changes. Our first introduction to God in the Bible is of Him as One who creates, forming something good out of nothing, through speech. As human beings who are made in His image, and believers who have been set apart and empowered in Christ, it shouldn’t be a far stretch to believe that when we speak, creation will change as well. Creation knows it. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain…

Pastor Appreciation Month: Prayer
We get to end the month on the same note we started it on – by honouring the ministers in our lives, this time in prayer. If you’ve just joined this party and have no idea what’s happening, read this first. It’s not too late to get it done. Besides, the heart of this call is to stir up a culture in us that regularly extends gratitude and honour to those God is using to bless us. As we come to the end of Pastor Appreciation Month, more commonly known as October, I’d like us to take time to pray over these ministers as follows: Refreshing for them and their…

Not every open door (or even window) is from God. Some come from fellow human beings. Others come from the enemy.

Divine opportunities: (1) come from God (2) to serve His purpose on earth (3) at an appointed time and season (4) in a manner that matches the configuration He’s given you. In the marketplace they can take the form of a new job, a new business deal, a new work project, a new business partnership, etc. There’s…

Ministry in the workplace can seem daunting. Particularly when you think about how much needs to change and wonder where to even begin.

Building Business Arks
Divine ideas are quite something. The story of Noah, the Ark and the flood is a common one in Christian circles. I’ve seen it discussed in the context of our personal lives and pulpit ministry. But I started to think about it from the context of kingdom business. What does it look like to build an Ark in and for the marketplace? How does one do business differently from everyone else? What distinguishes a kingdom business from all others out there? God gives and sustains the vision. Anyone who considers themselves a disciple of Christ has the Great Commission as their divine assignment. But this takes different shapes, forms…
