But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” – Acts 1:8
Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. – Matthew 4:23
As we work with Tony Wear this week in China, we feel a serendipitous blessing by the divine timing to move into the 4th of the 5 aspects of “Activating Kingdom DNA”, which is: “exercising our market place competencies in the Spirit’s power – providing clear benefits to the company’s business operations”.
When Christ gave us the commission to disciple the nations in Matthew 28, to activate their Kingdom DNA, He laid out the “call”. But in Acts 1:8, He gave us the “method” to accomplish that commission, which is to witness in the Spirit’s power. Being a witness is to be a sensible, relevant, and measurable testimony. Jesus demonstrated that testimony by imparting people hope through His messages and by meeting their needs through healing. We, as pastors of the work place, must also strive for a testimony that is sensible, relevant, and measurable – a demonstration of the Spirit’s power that will bring hope and healing to companies and organizations.
We hope that our Tony Wear work this week will prominently reflect the Spirit’s witness through us. We look forward to sharing with you next week the sensible, relevant, and measurable testimonies that will activate this Kingdom enterprise’s Kingdom DNA.
Market Place Meditation and Prayer
- What are my God given abilities that can bring witness to my work place?
- How can I demonstrate the good news of the Kingdom in my work place and beyond?
