\u201c God blessed them and said to them, \u201cBe fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground.\u201d \u2013 Genesis 1:28<\/em> <\/strong><\/p>\n

Genesis 1:28 expresses a practical directive for creation to fulfill Christ\u2019s Kingdom agenda of connecting heaven and earth.\u00a0 This divine directive in Eden, which I call the Genesis 128 Agenda<\/a>, speaks of Christ\u2019s original intent to expand value creation in the physical realm under His heavenly governance, increasing in scales from Adam and Eve to large networks of people \u2013 or kingdoms.<\/p>\n

Even though today\u2019s kingdoms reject Christ\u2019s governance, His original intent has not changed.\u00a0 When Christ returns, He will take over the world\u2019s kingdoms (Revelation 11:15), which includes the value creation engines of their market places.\u00a0 Isaiah 9:7 says that Christ\u2019s zeal will drive the eternal expansion of His governance, established on David\u2019s earthly throne.\u00a0 In other words, the Genesis 128 Agenda<\/a> will continue into eternity in the connection of heaven and earth.<\/p>\n

As Christians laboring in the \u201cBabylon market place\u201d, we still have a responsibility in the Genesis 128 Agenda<\/a>.\u00a0 We have the responsibility to develop our market place capabilities and build the assets so that God\u2019s people can prepare to \u201ccome out of Babylon\u201d in its collapse (Revelation 18).\u00a0 Therefore, building the value creation engines of a Kingdom economy is a basic assignment of every market place Christian, especially business leaders and entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n

In this call, we cannot neglect excellence in market place value creation by thinking that they are earthly and therefore, not important to Christ.\u00a0 To the contrary, we must see our market place roles as opportunities to prepare for Christ\u2019s Millennial Kingdom and our roles as its rulers.\u00a0 Christ\u2019s Genesis 128 Agenda<\/a> will persist into the \u201cnew heaven and new earth\u201d and our market place assignments today will prepare us for that greater eternal role.<\/p>\n

Please intercede with us that the Holy Spirit will speak through us with authority as we bring this message to the \u201c10,000\u201d<\/p>\n

Next week, we will address the question: if Christ returns after my lifetime, how will what I labor for in the market place count towards His Kingdom?<\/p>\n
