5 Paradigms to assist you in glorifying God in business Dr Dion Forster Global Day of Prayer Power Group of companies

The moment my ministry changed… What would you do if Graham Power got saved in your Church? What do you think God would want you to do with him!? Finance committee!? Or, Pastoral ministry?

Graham’s ministry and legacy  Kingdom companies  Global Day of Prayer  Unashamedly Ethical

Something to think about… Missed opportunities! The barman and the Church!

4 primary questions  Does God exist?  Does God care?  Does God care about you?  Does God care about what you do? How you answer these questions changes not just 1 hour a week, but EVERY hour of your week!

Destiny, work and worship Do not let your occupation block your destiny; instead, allow your destiny to shape your business by turning it into your ministry. - Ed Silvoso

5 Paradigms to assist you in glorifying God in business

Doing your work for God’s purposes and blessing!  Paradigm 1 - God’s discipleship plan is for more than just individuals. (Matthew 28:18- 20) “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…” (Matt. 28:18-20) Individual Family Suburb City Nation

Doing your work for God’s purposes and blessing!  Paradigm 2 - The marketplace has been ‘redeemed’, and so it needs to be ‘reclaimed’ (Luke 19:10) “For the son of man came to seek and save that which was lost” (Luke 19:10) “For it was the Father's good pleasure …to reconcile all things to Himself…whether things on earth or things in heaven.” (Col 1:19-20)

Doing your work for God’s purposes and blessing!  Paradigm 3 - God views every Christian as a minister, and so work can be worship! (Col 3:23-24) “Whatever your task, put yourselves into it, working for the Lord and not for your masters,‌ since you know that you will receive your reward from the Lord; you serve‌ the Lord Christ.” (Col 3:23) The ‘worship switch’… ON or OFF?

Doing your work for God’s purposes and blessing!  Paradigm 4 - God wants us to take light into dark places, and get salt out of the salt shaker. (Matthew 16:18-19) “Upon this rock will I build my Church, and the gates of hell will not overpower it…” (Matthew 16:18-19). Building the Church is what Jesus does… Taking his Kingdom and gospel all over the earth is what we’re commanded to do… - Ed Silvoso

 Paradigm 4 - God wants us to take light into dark places. (Matthew 16:18-19) cont….  We’ve got the WRONG methodology! 1. Preach 2. Minister 3. Fellowship 4. Bless

Jesus’ methodology (Luke 10:2-9). When you enter a house, first say, 'Peace to this house.’ ….Stay in that house, eating and drinking whatever they give you, …Heal the sick who are there and …tell them, 'The kingdom of God is near you.’ 1. Bless! 2. Fellowship 3. Minister 4. Preach I will pay you a salary NOT to preach…

Doing your work for God’s purposes and blessing!  Paradigm 5 - True transformation must be tangible and visible. The Gospels recall two incidents when Jesus wept, once for a friend, and another time for a city. His tears show how deeply he loves individuals and cities. What would the most tangible and visible expression of God’s love be in your context? Remember the ‘methodology’ of Jesus… Bless, Fellowship, Minister, Preach…

Doing your work for God’s purposes and blessing!  God’s discipleship plan is for more than just individuals. (Matthew 28:18-20)  The marketplace has been ‘redeemed’, and so it needs to be ‘reclaimed’ (Luke 19:10)  God views every Christian as a minister, and so work can be worship! (Col 3:23-24)  God wants us to take light into dark places. (Matthew 16:18-19)  True transformation must be tangible and visible

Destiny, work and worship Do not let your occupation block your destiny; instead, allow your destiny to shape your business by turning it into your ministry. - Ed Silvoso

A few questions to consider and discuss  1. What one insight from today's talk has left an impression upon you?  2. What would you need to change in your 'worldview', and the 'worldview' of those around you to disciple your company, your city, and your nation?  3. What will you need to do in order to become better equipped to approach your work as a 'marketplace ministry' and see your 'work as worship'?
