Business and Ministry

Image

“MINISTRY” cannot be pigeonholed to the four walls of the church… The ‘MAIN’ purpose of anything we do is to restore individual lives, families and communities.. If we continue to look at business through a tradition lens of what ministry is then there will be no convergence of the two into one.From a practical standpoint, businesses are to generate profits. However, if our business is generating a profit then this can serve as a prototype for others to FOLLOW….

This allows our business partners and clients to meet Jesus in the flesh (through what God has done through
us) which is indeed ministry..

We declare that the traditional lines of what we believed to be ministry and business be broken… The two shall become one…

Lines of Credit…

Capital One… Master Card… Visa… American Express… Chase…

Hmm….

The credit card industry is the only industry I can think of
that does NOT have a product, there product is your income!
When a credit card company extends a line of credit to you
they are simply tapping your future earnings, it isn’t
another source of income it is YOUR income. Each time you
use the card it ensures that you MUST get up every morning
and go to work to pay (or build treasure cities) that credit
card whether you want to or not. ~ Julius Thomas

Society places great value on natural growth and development, but not a great deal of emphasis has been placed on spiritual growth and development. Natural growth and development without the Spirit of God is behavior modification and results in deformities. Our goal should not be to modify the behavior, but to replace the behavior with the a Christ-like nature.

Think about it….

The frustration that lies within you is a groaning for more of God and less of you. It is your soul crying out for more. This is a thirst and a hunger that cannot and will not be satisfied by cars, clothes, cash, or even natural promotion. The groaning on the inside of you is a cry that screams, “Identity!” His train fills the temple (you), and there is no room for anything else in the temple but His presence. God desires to leave His imprint on the Earth, and this will happen through the imprint that He leaves on those who are sent to touch the Earth. Many are called, but few are chosen.

A Jack of all trades…

I wear many hats….. Why?
Hmm….

Question #1: How many hats do you have in your closet of skill sets?
Question #2: Are you a jack of all trades, and a master of none?
Question #3: Why do you wear so many hats?
Question #4: It is by force or is it by choice?

Many of our jobs place us in a position of being a jack of all trades…
A WILD CARD….

In such a case, a wild card wins when it comes to division…
Being a wild card affects your concentration, and follow- through…
Never have we ever witnessed a basketball player halt the follow through of his jump shot to pick up a football to be thrown…

IT DOES NOT HAPPEN!

Although, a basketball player halts the follow- through of his jump shot if:
• The shot is blocked.
• The ball slips out of his hands.
• The referee blows his whistle.
A point guard is a point guard… He “quarterbacks” plays though he has the
ability to rebound. He FOCUSES his energy on running the offense.

I don’t wear many hats, though I have many different colors (expressions) of the same hat.
Training is the hat that best fits who I am… WHO YOU ARE IS YOUR IDENTITY…

These are my expressions of training (Who I am):
* Training curricula
* Posters w/quotes
* Hard Copy Books
* Ebooks
* Work Books
* Audio Books
* Online Tutorials
* Instructional Videos

Wearing many hats comes with the territory, but when we change the territory within our minds, our circumstances will change.

Revisiting Dollars Per Hour

Let’s take a permanent vacation…

So relax, kick you feet up and meditate on this: I can see clearly now, the rain is gone, I can see all obstacles in my way. Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind, It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright) Sun-Shiny day.~ Johnny Nash

Often times we perceive opportunities as obstacles because we are walking with our eyes open…. naturally…
So… I ask you to close your eyes so we can build together…
First and foremost… Your mind is the workplace, and your mind is the office.

If the workplace is your mind, and your mind is the office then unethical behavior will get you fired from the workplace. Unethical behavior is MENTAL behavior that is not in alignment with your purpose. Being fired from the workplace is a disconnect from the imagination needed to ‘create’ new products to be dispensed into the marketplace.
Once you become a value creator…. The path to financial freedom shines more and more….

Anything or anyone outside of your purpose can be considered as busyness. If you allow your imagination to be married to busyness, you will remain in the state of poverty. So… let’s take a permanent vacation from that state…
Pack your bags… BUT you can’t take EVERYTHING with you…

DOLLARS PER HOUR VS. DOLLARS PER VALUE
It is not the number of hours we put in at the workplace (PHYSICALLY),but the number of hours we put in at the workplace (MENTALLY). The number of hours we put in at the workplace (MENTALLY) allows us to produce VALUE… which is of more significance to our consumers than the number of hours we are present at the workplace (PHYSICALLY).

I repeat: The number of hours we put in at the workplace (MENTALLY) allows us to produce VALUE… which is of more significance to our consumers than the number of hours we are present at the workplace (PHYSICALLY). In order to come into the realization of this, your understanding must be outcome based, and not activity centered.
Activity is good, but is greater when it leads to the ideal outcome desired by the consumer.

Be mindful that VALUE is the outcome (or end result) realized by and perceived in the eyes of the consumer. I once heard a bus driver say, “It don’t matter, I get paid by the hour.”
Yes… It does matter, because we don’t get paid dollars per hour. We get paid dollars per value.

A person who has this kind of belief system is activity-based.
• If this same bus driver clocks in and chooses not to drive her bus, the end result will be the unemployment line.
• If this same bus driver clocks in and chooses to go her own route, the end result will be the unemployment line.
• If this same bus driver clocks in and chooses to go to work in the office of her mind by producing ideas that are of value to her employer, the end result is PROMOTION.

Food for thought…

Heavy Weight

Food for Thought: The ‘heavy’ weight of responsibility cannot be carried by an unregenerate mind. In this case, the responsibility is seen as a burden instead of a light. When we see through a filter of burden, we become bound to the process instead of being bound to purpose.

American IDOLS

American Idols: Idolatry promotes a person,place or thing to a higher place of authority that God the Creator.

If I love MY money more than I love MY God then MY money has taken the place of MY God.

If I love MY house more than I love MY God then MY house has taken the place of MY God.

If I love MY car more than I love MY God then MY car has taken the place of MY God.

If I love MY job more than I love MY God then MY job has taken the place of MY God.

If I love MY past more than I love MY God then MY past has taken the place of MY God.

If I love MY present more than I love MY God then MY present has taken the place of MY God.

If I love MY future more than I love MY God then MY future has taken the place of MY God.

Exodus 20:3-4 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

Matthew 6:33-34 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
