Divine Works E&T

Today one of my students posed this question to me, “How can you be two places at once?” My immediate response was, “I can’t.” However, the Holy Spirit illuminated my understanding. I then realized indeed I can be in two, three, four or even five places at one time. How is this humanly possible? I t is not humanly possible, but it is possible by The Spirit.

I also shared with my student that if I trained and taught her everything I knew (Impartation) then she would be equipped to doing some of the things that were imparted. Though it may not be on the same platform or even at the same magnitude, nonetheless the wisdom, skill and experience can be expressed through her. In that, the gift would be customarily framed to fit the situation God would bring her into.

A few months back I shared this thought with one of my elders: In order to be successful in such a turbulent economy (in the natural), the providers of professional services are going to have to refine their teaching ability to equip their consumers (who are the partakers of the information dipensed) . Many of us possess associates, bachelors and masters degrees, but what is needed is a Spirit degree. With that being said many of us have been trained in a major and under a specific concentration. For example, an individual with a masters degree in business may have a concentration in accounting, human resources marketing, etc. This means little if the individual is not a teacher of his or her major and concerntration. We can no longer major on minors..

In this age providing a service is not enough, we (the producers) should be providing provision which is supply better known as SURPLUS. This is going to be done through teaching, training, coaching and consulting.

Colossians 1:16 – 17

(v16) For by him were ALL things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, VISIBLE and INVISIBLE, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: (v 17) And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

We, the Body of Christ have come into the realization that the Kingdom of God is on the inside of US.

The Kingdom of God is not WITHOUT, it is WITHIN.

He is on the inside of you.

We possess a creative ability because IN HIM we live, move and have our BEING. It is not at all our doing that equips us to perform great exploits in the Earth, it was and is His doing. Therefore, everything we produce is for Him, for Our King to be glorified and exalted. Everything we consume and produce should be connected to PURPOSE, and if you are attempting to find your purpose.

!STOP IT!
Purpose is on the inside of you!

Our purpose and mandate is in Genesis 1:26.

Genesis 1:26 – And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

In order for this mandate to come into full realization we, the ENTIRE BODY OF CHRIST must cultivate our ambidexterity.

Ambidexterity: ambi, meaning “both,” and dexter, meaning “right” (as opposed to left) or favorable on both sides.

Ambidexter: two-sided, using both hands with equal facility (or dexterity).

Some words that are associated with facility and dexterity are: ability, competence , skillfulness or expertness.

REVELATION: Many items, devices and products that are available for sale in the marketplace are manufactured for right-handed individuals.

Hmm….

There have been numerous scientific, medical studies and theories concerning ambidexterity. Studies have shown that the left half of the brain supersedes the right half of the brain. The truth of the matter is that the opposite sides of the body are controlled by the opposite sides of the brain. The left side of the brain controls the right side of the body while the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body which (NOT BY HAPPEN-CHANCE) CROSSESS-over one another. It is also not by coincidence or happen-chance that a mass majority of individuals are right-handed and many of our products are geared towards right-handed individuals.

Continuing on…

The left side of the brain functions in a natural, analytic and organizational capacity. In contrast, the right side of the brain operates at a creative, artistic and spiritual level.

In order for the Body of Christ to operate at a fully-functional level we must activate BOTH sides of our brain.

! We must have a synergetic-symmetrical habit of thought!

Part 2 of “Just on the Brink of Success” speaks volumes about the spiritual authority that is needed to affect your sphere of influence in addition to bringing clarity to stewardship and the definition of work.

J.O.B.S.

This is an excerpt from training manual we are constructing with regard to J.O.B.S. It will make you consciously aware of what is transpiring in the marketplace, and how to progress in today’s economy.

Media

“Happiness is SOLD to us as an event or thing, and consequently, our finances have suffered. Fun can be bought with money, but happiness cannot – Dave Ramsey

Let’s refine this statement:

Happiness and fun are  SOLD to us as an event or thing, and consequently, our finances have suffered. Happiness and fun can be bought with money, but JOY cannot.

Webster’s defines “MEDIA” as THE INSTRUMENTS of news communication as radio, television and newspapers. The INSTRUMENT better known as a MEAN, apparatus, tool or device that produces a sound (be it harmonious or cacophonous). “MEDIA” itself is dominated by COMMERCIALS, and as we know ALL commercials are attempting to promote or persuade you to partake of a product, service or even both.

One Sunday Afternoon….

I decided to do a quick observational study on COMMERCIALS in general. A few years back God blessed me with the opportunity to hear about the three things commercials teach. To give you some insight, commercials teach:

1. All problems are resolvable – (By Man)
2. All problems are resolvable quickly – (Everything is an easy fix)
3. All problems are resolvable by technology – (Man-made )

Most commercials promote temporal things, rarely do they promote things of eternal value.

ETERNAL VALUE IS PRICELESS, IT CAN NOT BE SOLD, BUT IT CAN BE SOWED.

Continuing On….

In a brief period of about 45 seconds to 1 minute I observed:

1. Eleven commercials
2. All eleven were attempting to sell or promote something
3. Two out of the eleven were promoting television shows
4. Two out of the eleven commercials mentioned something about FaceBook

So, I decided to perform another quick observation. In my findings I observed:

1. Nine commercials
2. All nine were attempting to sell or promote something
3. Three out of the nine were promoting upcoming films
4. One commercial had a FaceBook mention in its advertisement

All in a span of 45 seconds to 1 minute.

No matter what type of seed is planted, if the ground is pliable and has been watered, the seed will produce after its own kind.

This principle is true whether we are referring to the Kingdom of Our Lord and His Christ or the systems of this world (age).

Commercials are quick and subtle, yet very powerful. The eye gate (visual) and the ear gate (audio) are subject to commercialization if we don’t take heed to the message that is being delivered. We sometimes have trouble discerning the motive because we reside in an ENTERTAINMENT- BASED society, full of performance with little or no pertinence to our eternal being.

EVENT VS. EXPERIENCE

To Be Continued….

The PMT Framework is a simplistic, but very effective method to maximize the resource of TIME.

In “Building Your Brand (Part 1),” I talked about Wisdom. I pointed out that Solomon was a man of wisdom, which helped to bring him success. When building brand equity, we need to go beyond what is “strategically” smart to do, and look into what is wise and witty.

If we look at the scripture Ecclesiastes 7:11-12, it says,

11Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun.

12For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.

To further break down the understanding of this scripture, we will see in verse 11, the inheritance is money. Most often in business, we think money is our solution. We implement our marketing according to the budget, but WISDOM is good with the inheritance. In other words, wisdom makes the difference between money spent and money invested to produce a return on investment.

The sun in verse 11 is the beating against the brand, the adversity, the heat. What separates your brand from the others, that which causes greatness and profit is wisdom.

Verse 12 goes further to show us how we have put both wisdom and money in the same category, because truly they both provide a defense, shade, protection from the sun, the beating against the brand, BUT the difference of those who have experience know, is that wisdom, not money will bring the life into the business that has it.

I know you need an example, because I did. Back in the early 1900’s there was a couple that founded a small business in a small, unknown town with $5000 that was received from the husband’s father. Wall Drug was non-existent in the pharmacy world and for 5 years did nothing much more than serve the 300 town’s people. In the 5^th year, they were ready to fold up the business, because the money (the inheritance) was running thin and they had not made enough to sustain themselves. In the hot summer one afternoon, the wife went to put the children down for a nap, and thought she might take a nap too. But because of the loud sounds of cars passing by on the new highway, she could not sleep. In fact, wisdom came to her and said, “Free water.” She went to her husband and said, “What if we put signs up along the new highway that say, “Free water, Wall Drug…” The next day, he put up the signs. When he got back, the wife was so busy with customers, she could not keep up.

Instant change and increase in profits manifested because of wisdom. Today, Wall Drug still exists and operates in abundance. They take in 1,000’s of visitors on any given summer day.

Seek wisdom in your business marketing plan, seek those who have wisdom to head up your brand department, and watch increase and equity come.
