BUSINESS CONQUEST

-

Genesis 47:19,25-26

Why should we die before your very eyes? Buy us and our land in exchange for food; we offer our land and ourselves as slaves for Pharaoh. Just give us grain so we may live and not die, and so the land does not become empty and desolate.”

“You have saved our lives!” they exclaimed. “May it please you, my lord, to let us be Pharaoh’s servants.”

Joseph then issued a decree still in effect in the land of Egypt, that Pharaoh should receive one-fifth of all the crops grown on his land. Only the land belonging to the priests was not given to Pharaoh.


When you have what people need, you dictate the price they pay for it!


You cannot have wealth until you have solutions to peoples' problems. People will pay for your product or service. No matter what it costs, the need(s) have to be met.


This is why we need to pray aright, what the Lord will give you or do I say, what the Lord has already given you is enough to make you "your" wealth. 


The starting point is discovering it!


Joseph understood that everything has it's price. There is actually no sentiment in business.


Ofcourse there were people who were under Pharaoh's care and also people who were under his own care(Goshen), they didn't have to pay for their supply. However at the long run all the people, their properties, their lands and themselves became Pharaoh's property.


To prosper you must understand what you have and how to use it.


You must also understand:


1. The sowing/planting stage


2. The pruning or maintaining stage


3. How to cater for risks, setbacks and unplanned expenditures


4. When and how to harvest


5. How do you store and re-invest


The same applies for our kingdom journey here on earth. The parable of the talents gives us an insight into this.


You must bear fruit as a believer, lukewarmness and non-fruitfulness is not allowed!


Do you know that as an employee, you could yet prosper using the above principles - Jacob did with Laban!


The winner in the story of Joseph was Pharaoh, why?


He allowed the qualified, anointed and wise one to sit in the seat of power!


It is not about being the leader, place the right person/person's in the place of authority and see your nation/company/business/community flourish.


Do not lose that one that has the grace because of evil(lying report) from others. Portiphar lost the one that brought him blessings when he threw Joseph into prison.


We need to wake up as individuals, churches, community, business owners, CEOs and even as a nation.


May the Lord grant us good business conquest as we make the right decisions.


Help us Good Lord.


He calls us blessed.


Love

@the watcher.

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
