Food for though…
Food for thought: Anytime a product sits on the shelf for an over-extended amount of time it will expire. Financial capital is tied to product shelf life. A “TANGIBLE PRODUCT” let’s say a carton of milk has an expiration date. The money that is to be made on the “SELL” OR”PURCHASE” of this product is “TIED UP” as long on the product remains on the shelf. It is the same with an “INTANGIBLE” product, let’s say COMMUNICATION. If We don’t continually release the product – COMMUNICATION to our consumer then no TRANSACTIONS will occur between the producer and the consumer. Every day is a practice session that allows us to perfect the art of communicating with one another.
Food for though…
Food for thought: When we become consciously-aware of our TARGET market, we will produce the correct sound… The sound (or communication) determines who comes into our stores (lives) to make a “PURCHASE” or “WITHDRAW.” Is our sound appealing to the hEARt of our TARGET market? Will the sound being released awaken their spirit?
Be mindful that the sound (communication) also determines how long our customers remain in our store, and their overall shopping experience. SELAH!
Push & Pull Str…
Push & Pull Strategy…….
Whomever and Whatever we pull from we will be pushed into. If we DECIDE to pull from those who walk in PURPOSE and DESTINY then we will be pushed into PURPOSE and DESTINY. However, if we DECIDE to pull from those who walk in poverty (which is first a MINDSET) then we will be pushed into poverty. MIND YOU: If an individual is not content and desire an overabundance of THINGS then there is a great possibility that he or she is friends with poverty.
LESS IS MORE….
In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
– John 14:2
For some….
A job and career is a reflection of their EGO. At times, we reject the heavenly image (knowingly and unknowingly) because we are preoccupied with an image (or illusion) that has been sold to us. Up until this point, we’ve built our entire lives according to a pattern that satisfied our heart’s desire. This house is small in comparison to what The Lord has predestined for our lives.
This image or illusion is called, “BUSYNESS.”
The culture of America is dominated by busyness. The busyness that we observe in the natural is because we FEEL most productive when we are busy. As additional food for thought: The busyness that we observe in the natural is a deficit that can only be RE-SOLVED OR SETTLED in the spirit. We, The Body of Christ, must come into the realization that all debts have been settled. WE ARE NO LONGER DEBTORS TO THE FLESH!
Wisdom Key: Never allow your daily activities or duties to overshadow the purpose of your assignment (or job). When we refer to daily activities or duties, we are referring to THOUGHTS, ACTIONS AND RESULTS. Realize that when you are sent into most regions (or workplaces) a strong scent of BUSYNESS will be prevalent.
Question: Is what we are doing who we are becoming in Christ? Or, is what we are doing who we are becoming in EGO or FLESH?
Career: The Expression of Who You are in Christ Jesus
Values + Interests + Skills + Grace = Career
- Values (What I deem most important)
- Interests (What I enjoy doing)
- Skills (My Natural Ability to Properly Execute)
- Grace (God’s Ability to do What is Not Humanly Possible)
- Career (The Expression of Who You are in Christ Jesus)
The reason why some individuals don’t enjoy their line of work is because their line of work is not in alignment with who they are nor is it in line with who God has called them to become.
Food for thought # 1: If the most important prerequisite for your obtainment of a job (or assignment) is the salary or wage then you are in the job for the wrong reason.
Food for thought # 2: If the most important prerequisite for your obtainment of a job (or assignment) is how you feel or how the money or position makes you feel then you are in the job for the wrong reason.
“If we attach our identities to any dollar amount, when and if that dollar amount changes the perception of who we are will indeed change.” ~ Marcus Cage
This is also true for entrepreneurs…
God has magnificently narrowed the path into the job market. By doing this, He has cut away the flesh better known as the desires or exploits of man. The arm of flesh has been broken and has been broken for quite a long time now.
GET IN WHERE YOU FIT IN… According to His plans and purposes for your life.
We’ve place entirely too much emphasis on the job, and the additives that come along with the obtainment of a job position and career. Additives: Title, prestige and monetary compensation. Additives preserve and make things SEEM MORE appealing. Additives can easily take the emphasis off of The Person that made the job position available to us. If we are not in tune with His Voice then we are in dire need of a tune up internally.
Wisdom Key: When we enter into ANY new relationship we give permission to CHANGE.
The question is, “Is our relationships with our employers superior to our relationship with Our Father?
Hmm….
God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.
– Philippians 2:13

Food for thought: Never…. Never…. Never…. Attach your worth to a salary or hourly wage. Why?
Because if we attach our identities to any dollar amount, when and if that dollar amount changes the perception of who we are will indeed change. In addition to our perception, the motivation for us being in our appointed position will change in accordance to our earnings. This is a time where we must truly walk by faith, and not by sight. We cannot afford to be distracted by what we see. We must remain focused on Who and What we believe.
The reason why …
The reason why some of us have yet to be promoted NATURALLY is because we haven’t come to terms with The Divorce Agreement. Divorce is a SEPERATION; Separating the liabilities from the assets will allow us to perfect our serve (or service) which results in the exchange of PRODUCTS.

Many have attached their identity to their job title, BUT
You cannot BECOME mobile if you are fixed into one position….
MOBILITY TAKES FOR US TO FOCUS ON ONE POSITION WITH LASER-BEAM ACCURACY…THE POSITION IS CALLED, “PROGRESSION.”
THE POSTION IS FOR A SPECIFIED PERIOD OF TIME THAT IS NOT ACCORDING TO OUR MAN-MADE TIMETABLE.
KEY: The job title is A POSITION THAT IS OCCUPIED UNTIL THE ASSIGNMENT IS COMPLETE…
Completion allows us to move into a new position, assignment or DESTINATION…
Different functions are attached to different positions, but one function will always remain true and constant.SERVICE.
1 Corinthians 1…
1 Corinthians 15:52 – In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
Revelation 11:15 – And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
Yesterday… Pastor Brooks shared with us (@ Job Corps) that one of the keys to be successful in life is to GET UP IN THE MORNING. In order for this to happen, we MUST FIRST WAKE UP… WE MUST WAKE UP TO GET UP. We cannot afford to sleep walk through life. When an alarm sounds we must evacuate the building. A building can be representative of A PLACE WHERE WE FIND COMFORT, AND WITH COMFORT COMES COMPLACENCY. WITH COMPLACENCY COMES SLUMBER…
WITH SLUMBER COMES POVERTY…
The alarm has sounded and will continue to sound until we WAKEUP ! THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A FALSE ALARM. If any alarm (sound) goes off it is a wakeup call.
The question is, “Are we going to answer the call?”
