Dear friends.
There is a great need in the church today for the Kings to rise
out of mediocrity and stand above average as business people who can hear the
Voice of God.
For too long now businessmen and women have been given a role of
merely brining funds into the House of God.
I believe that God is raising up a breed of Daniels, Josephs, Deborah’s
and Ruth’s.
Men and Women who will seek the Face of God
and then impart what they have to others.
We need to change our thinking that prophecy
is not only for the Sunday morning church program. Neither is it for Christians
who want to have a bless me club. (A group of Christians that go round and
gather prophecies one after another, as a fortune cookie, hoping to receive
something that tickles theirs ears.)
Prophecy is for all who desire to seek more of God and impact
the area of their influence with the Presence of God.
Most Christians make their primary income outside the church.
Yet most of the income in the church comes from those who understand God’s
principals on finances. Every successful business enterprise recorded in the
bible, attributes it’s success through hearing a directive Word of the Lord and
following it in obedience. I am
convinced that the bad decisions people have made in business, is due to the
fact that they either have not heard the Word of the Lord on the matter or that
they have not obeyed the Word of the Lord.

things”)
The year of 2005 is going to be a year that the Lord will lay
foundations once again. This year will
be a year of sifting the wheat from the chaff.
Many prophets, priests and kings will be exposed for the motives of
their hearts and the methods they operate under. God is calling his leaders to come before Him
with clean hands and a pure heart. The
clean hands represent the modus operandi and a pure heart represents the
motivations that drive the person.
In regard to kings, and those that have an
ability to generate finances with the work of their hands, they will need to
come into a place where they receive personal revelation from God for the
prosperity of their enterprise. The year that is ahead us of will be a time of
laying the Isaacs down and Seeking the Face of God with greater intensity than
before.
The reason for this is that God is jealous for His people and
many kings have subtly fornicated themselves by losing their passion for God
and chasing after the success of business.
These people will be exposed as their hands are not clean and hearts are
impure. It is my conviction that the Lord is looking for kings of your caliber
to influence the market place and minister to other kings who have lost their
first love. As a king the Lord will
reveal to you strategies and ways to impact society with righteous living and
holiness.
Whether in government or leading your daughter in law, leading
in business, economics, social welfare, security or developments, the success
of the projects that God’s people undertook depended on the hearing of God’s
voice and the obedience to that word. Moses succeeded in leading the nation as
statesmen. He took the nation of
For the kings to impact their community and show the Glory of
God, they need to walk in holiness before God and the people.

Noah was commissioned to construct a ship on the blue print that
God had given to him. If Noah changed
course, even in the smallest detail, he could have sunk the ark.

Gideon was called to lead an elite military army. His screening
process was not conventional for war.
His obedience to God’s Word brought victory.

Gen. 26:1-19 In the middle of a national drought the Lord gave
Isaac a word to go be obedient. Against
all the odds, Isaac planted seed in the middle of the drought at God’s command
and that same year he reaped a hundred fold.

Josiah the King enquired of the Lord (2 Chron.34;21,27,28) and

Neh. 1;3-4,6;16 The Lord placed a burden on Nehemiah’s heart and

I have a very interesting
book on my shelf. “70 Great Christians - Changing the World – by
Geoffrey Hanaks – Christian Focus Publications ISBN 1 871 676 80 0”
This book goes into
detail how men and women received a mission, vision, Word from God go and
impact nations with the Gospel of Christ and bring change to the world. From the days of the early church, through
the dark ages up to today, all brought change to their community through a word
from God.
In the 20 century we read
of people who ruled as Kings and changed their communities for God; The Vins
family in Russia, Richard Wurmbrand in Romania, Brother Andrew in Russia, Sadhu
Sundar Singh in India and Tibet, Jackie Pullinger being instrumental in
bringing change to Hong Kong and Billy Graham that as a Christian Statesman.
You are called to be such a witness.
Scripture makes it clear that God will speak to you and help you
succeed in your enterprise. The secret
is to understanding
the times we are living in and know what is God saying concerning the
season we are in.
Ed Silvoso writes in his book – “I thoroughly enjoyed
dealing, buying, selling and hiring. The pressure was always on but each time
it approached the boiling point, I reached for what I called the Jesus chair.
This was a chair I had in placed my office. When things became unmanageable, I
would close the door, kneel by the chair and ask for divine guidance.
Repeatedly God provided it. Sometimes He did it in a quite way. At other times
He gave me specific directions. More than once He performed business miracles
in answer to those prayers. It was so reassuring to know that Jesus was there
and that He had anointed me for the Job I had.”
These last two years the Lord has really been speaking to me in
regard to ministering to businessmen and businesswomen. My focus of ministry is
to come alongside and impart a prophetic anointing to the Kings so that they
can and will hear the Lord for themselves and for others.
It is God’s first choice to speak to you
personally.
I pray that the Lord will come and touch your ears and open your
eyes, so that you will hear and see more clear than ever before. God is raising
up a mighty army that demonstrate God as supreme, and seek to see the
