“Remember the Lord your God. He is the one who gives you power to be successful, in order to fulfill the covenant he confirmed to your ancestors with an oath.” Deuteronomy 8:18

“And you have caused them to become a Kingdom of priests for our God. And they will reign on the earth.” Revelation 5:10

The Lord has made us both kings and priests in order to reign in the earth and majority of us will rule from the marketplace, rather than the pulpit. When we think of kings in the marketplace our minds may go to well known captains of industry, business tycoons etc. The reality we confront daily is that not every king in the marketplace is a believer, and unfortunately not every believer in the marketplace functions as a king, even though this is God’s desire.

This tells us there are things we must grasp to part of those that can be identified as God’s kings in the marketplace. This series we are exploring 10 things God looks for in how believers should function as kings in the marketplace. We trust the Holy Spirit to open the eyes of our understanding as He equips us to function as kings in the marketplace. Click Here to download the study.

“Enlarge the place of your tent, And let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings; Do not spare; Lengthen your cords, And strengthen your stakes. For you shall expand to the right and to the left, And your descendants will inherit the nations, And make the desolate cities inhabited” Isaiah 54:2-3

God is expansive in His nature and agenda, everything He does originates from both a global and eternal perspective and He created us to function like Him. However, sometimes situations and experiences force us into a subsistence rather than expansion mentality. We focus on surviving rather than thriving and existing here on earth alone, without realising that there’s eternity to consider.

When we think small, we unwittingly shrink our perception of God’s capacity down to the level of our thinking. The challenge with seeing God as small is that such a mindset gives room for compromise as we will be tempted to think we need to take care of ourselves, rather than depend on God. Dependence on self also makes us earthly focused rather than heavenly focused because nothing of eternal value can be achieved by our strength alone.

This series we are digging into what it takes to create the atmosphere in which we need to function to experience expansion in our daily lives. We pray that as we go through this series, the Holy Spirit will open our eyes, hearts and minds so we are equipped to operate in expansion and enlargement. Click here to download the study.

In Acts 12 we see the believers experiencing persecution and loss through the execution of James and arrest of Peter with the intention to also have him face the same fate. However, we also see the supernatural come into play with Peter’s miraculous release from prison.

This series we are doing a deep dive into this chapter to understand what we can learn about how to handle challenges such that we draw on the power we have access to and respond accurately to supernatural intervention.

We pray that the Holy Spirit will hand hold us through this series and open our eyes to the help that God has already made available to us. Click here to download the study.
