Just imagine if Jesus walked in the front door of your business and immediately made your business the platform for His ministry. Picture him sitting down in your board room, giving you direction, reaching a multitude of people, and blessing your revenues.

He did this very thing, you know. Luke recorded the incident. Some people may read an account such as the one Luke captured and see it as inspirational or a good story. But it is much more than that. It is a prophetic example of what Jesus will also do today in your business.

A short while back a prophetic friend gave me a word about KBA and my work in it. And, I believe it is a word to many KBA members, too.

He said I, as the director of KBA, was like a farmer plowing new ground. He saw me holding a single plow behind a mule (limited resources). He said I was plowing straight lines (staying in a parallel spiritual path with MorningStar), and that the ground had not been plowed before (ground-breaking work ahead).

Then he said something that really got my attention.

In Taking the Land, Part One, Rick Joyner said, “The currency of the future is change.” That sentence is a lot to chew on. To me it implies how much we must change if we are going to succeed.

What got you to where you are in business, in your personal life, or in your spiritual life may not get you to where you need to be. You have to constantly be adjusting, refining, and discovering better ways in order to succeed.

For example, recognizing that conditions around you have changed may be an important step. Being adaptable to the changed conditions is then necessary. I have been in businesses that kept doing the things that had made them successful only to discover that they were now decreasing in size because they had not recognized changed market conditions.

What got us to our present position in God may not be good enough. He is the Creator. That means things are changing. We change to be conformed to Him.

Harvard Business Review’s January-February, 2010, issue had a similar idea.

The Israelites had been in slavery under Egypt for 40 years, having no idea what freedom looked like.  They had been born into slavery; maybe their grandparents had told stories of what it was like in the “good ole days.”  They had few choices in Egypt--most decisions were made for them by their slave masters.  There was no need for advancement nor desire to conquer; they were captives in a strange land.

Creativity and motivation are always squelched when we are in bondage.
