I just returned from a two week teaching and ministering trip to Poland and Ukraine.  I went with a team of 4 marketplace leaders, ministers and teachers who are good friends of mine from the US and Denmark.  John Garfield was our designated leader with the teaching theme of “Releasing Kings”, which is also the title of his very excellent book.

John uses biblical scripture to encourage and evoke your hearts desire for life to become a reality for you.  A most amazing transition takes place in the hearts, minds and faces of believers when they realize they have God’s blessings to seek their hearts desire and that all things are possible with God. But the miracle making ingredient to the formula is to love people.  John proved that when he taught by loving the people every chance he got.  Most important however was that he really meant it.  People sensed it and reacted positively.

Combining your Divine call, your hearts desire and your ministry gifting all into one Godly, supernatural package empowers one to accomplish feats that here to for never even entered their minds.  I speak not of a New Age inner self realization of hidden energies and karma but of a Holy Spirit filled weapon of righteousness and love capable of doing all things in Christ Jesus.

The conference objective as well as the ultimate purpose for “Releasing Kings”, is to Have Fun.  Make Money.  Love People!  That’s exactly what we did,  except make money this time.  We did however encourage the attendees to use their dreams, gifts and calling to accomplish those three objectives while teaching them the fundamentals of doing business by biblical Kingdom principles in their families, the Marketplace, and in their churches.

The response after a few days of teaching and praying for people resulted in nearly 40 new salvations and numerous people deciding for the first times in their lives to pursue their business dreams.  We taught on attitude, business planning, sales, marketing, employee employer relations and finances required to start and run a successful business.

As usual while ministering to these success hungry saints, many signs and wonders of healing and deliverance followed those who believed just as the Mark wrote in his Gospel chapter 16, verses 15-18.  I can testify that I even prayed a serious sinus infection attack off myself by confessing and believing that scripture while on my way back on a 13 hour plane ride to the USA.

I come back and recollect and marvel at the faith and willingness those people have to believe for a better life in Jesus.  They have the faith to trust and try as the men of God teach and preach and great things are a result.  Not because of the men of God for sure, but for the humility, honor and obedience they offer the teacher as God’s prophet and therefore they receive a prophets reward.

We anxiously look forward to our return to those lands and see once more what God has in store for those who love Him for “eye has not seen, ear has not heard nor heart know the things which God has prepared for those that love Him.

Last night I had the privilege to speak at a Wednesday night ministry group about the Kingdom Business Journal and to explain the origin and purpose of our ministry.  The following statement I made sparked considerable interest, some questions and plenty of discussion so I thought I would share it with you too.

I mentioned that I received this revelation while teaching Kingdom Business Principles in Ukraine with my brother David Tinney to various christian groups throughout that country.  Paul wrote in Eph.4:11-12 that “He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying the body of Christ.”  Versus 13-16 further explain the purpose which is to disciple and educate and teach truth to the believers so they are not deceived.

What I am going to submit to you to think about today is just the first layer of teaching of this portion of scripture.  There is much more for another day.  Here is the premise I conclude from this reading.  Jesus loved teaching with metaphors, parables and word pictures to better understand the spiritual and practical comparison of His Kingdom Principles.  His invite for us was to learn, practice and teach His Kingdom’s principles on earth as foundation for living now and preparing  us to rule and reign with Him in the millennium and eternity.

When Jesus ascended into heaven after His resurrection, He left with us these gifts referred to as the “Gifts of the Ascended Christ” referred to in Eph.4:11.  In our natural understanding I think most of us interpret this writing to mean He left a few key spiritual jobs here on earth for ordained ministers in the pulpit to assume in their churches.  I happen to believe that.  But I found this interpretation to be very limiting of Christ’s army of public ministers of which all the rest of us are,  if we believe the command we have of the Great Commission.

There is no mention of any building or meeting place in this scripture but perhaps some believe it is implied.  Truth is, the definition of “church” to Jesus was His people, not the houses and caves they met in in the first century.  I believe Jesus once again in His infinite wisdom,  left us special,valuable gifts that included spiritual and practical connotation so that we  could all minister the Gospel of the Kingdom throughout the world.  Let me be comparatively specific?

SPIRITUAL GIFTINGS:  Clergy

Apostles  =  Visionaries for the church who often traveled the countryside planting new churches, getting the local leadership on track with the vision for the Church (people).

Prophets  =  Were the spiritual advisers for the Apostles (leaders) of the churches who would clarify, confirm and emphasis the word of God.

Evangelists  =  Traveled these same areas of the country and at home, proclaiming the saving grace and salvation of Jesus Christ.

Pastors  =  Shepherded the local church attendees ( flock) and ministered with compassion and protection to their people

Teachers  =  Those trained and learned in the Word were the interpreters for the Way and discipled the flocks towards their maturity.

PRACTICAL GIFTINGS:  (everyone who is not a paid minister in the pulpit)

Apostle  =  The visionary entrepreneur business owner who establishes businesses through out his customer demographic and directs the vision of his company.

Prophet  =  The company consultant or upper management persons consulted for all important matters of the  business and who influences the business owner with researched understanding  that helps guide appropriate company decision making.

Evangelist  =  Every believer in the workplace can and should be an evangelist.  That is God’s command.

Pastor  =  Functions as a manager over departments and groups to make sure the leaders plans are carried out as instructed and successfully but always mindful of the needs of his people.

Teacher  =  Is the role of one who’s wisdom, experience and learning is utilized to assure productivity, efficiency resulting in ROI to the company.

So……. where do you fall into this schematic?  May I suggest that all of us share in the Ascended Gifts of Christ in one way or another.  You don’t have to be in the pulpit or full time ministry to fulfill the calling  God has put in your heart.  You can now accept the role of life you are currently in and be used greatly if you want to be.  And there is no better place of opportunity than your workplace.  So once again I say…. go use your gifts to spread the Good News,  but only use words when you have to!

Have you ever read a really good business book and then thought, I WONDER HOW THAT APPLIES TO MY BUSINESS BIBLICALLY ? 

Let me introduce you to a friend of mine, Dale Schumaker.  I met Dale about 8 months ago when my partner, Rich Forster, had told him that I was building a new website.  He was looking for someone to help build a website for him.  I am not a programmer and web developer; so, I could not actually help Dale.  We had a good visit and I learned about his ability to read several of the latest and hottest business books, write  reviews on them, and then write spiritual reviews.  Dale was doing a book review class at Border’s book store in Springfield.     I’ll let Dale tell you about it.

Dale Shumaker 

Personal educator for entrepreneurs and founder at Spirit Savvy Business

“My signature ability is being a personal educator for business entrepreneurs and self-directed income people. I have an unique ability to observe areas needing developed- both personal skills and areas vital to business growth- then find and provide critical resources that make a significant difference.

As an entrepreneurial-minded person, I have observed with my 30-years experience that most visionary people don’t need someone to tell them what to do. But they are eager to learn, investigate new ideas, and seek the best current information for expanding their businesses. They also desire to increase their personal skills for business. Thus, my position is one of a personal educator. I find the best information and bring it to you; and in doing so, become your personal educator. I find what’s just right for you and assist you with relevant information that you can use. I have a great balance of current business knowledge and education skills.

My focus is more on developing the person who develops the business and increasing his/her abilities to be one who excels at exceptional levels. What sets me apart is my emphasis on the Spiritual factor we all have access to and putting that to work so you get results beyond the natural. When Spiritual skills are combined with personal skills and talents, it creates an exceptional personal power. My theme, then, is combining business skill excellence with Spiritual excellence. With my seasoned experience and visionary/ entrepreneurial mind, I am able to be a supreme complement who serves alongside high-impact leaders.

Unique abilities:

*To adjust to and work with varied personalities;

*Superior strategic and innovative thinking, teaming, people-reading and inspiring;

*Organizing skills and unique talent in synergizing efforts;

*Spiritual gift of seeing where things are going, gift-spotting and developing insights into people’s unique gifting that increase their effectiveness.
