The Business That Has the Triune God as the Lord(Genesis 12:1~3)
"I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you."(3)
Hymn #505 Christ for the Whole Wide World(Unified Hymn 268)
God instructed Abraham, “Go to the land I will show you." From that point on, the Triune God became his Master, and his business that was established in the "Throne's Blessing" began. Through this blessing, you must influence and save 70 places. However, because the Israelites didn't understand this, Remnants became slaves and prisoners and were scattered. Despite that, those who understood this were the 70 workers. When the Israelites came out of Egypt, God raised 70 elders, then in Luke 10, Jesus raised 70 disciples. For Abraham, who had understood this, he built an altar(Genesis 13:18) and the "Throne's Blessing" came upon the 7 Remnants. In addition, through that faith and its color of the Gospel, works arose at the Church at Thessalonica(1 Thessalonians 1:3). Then, what is the business in which the Triune God is the Master?
1. The Place of Business Where God is the Master
God will take responsibility for your place of business. For Abraham who knew this, he rescued Lot then gave Melchizedek a tenth of everything(Genesis 14:1~20). Later, Isaac reaped Abraham's one hundredfold answer and gained the source of fresh water(Genesis 26:10~24). As for Obadiah, he also knew who the Master was(1 Kings 18:1~15), Because Daniel knew why he had to go into the palace, he resolved(Daniel 1:8~9). Finally, Romans 16 was a gathering of people who had understood these words.
2. A Businessperson Who's Appointed as CEO
Although God is the Master, He has appointed you as CEO and has commissioned you as a missionary to that region. That's why God instructed you to "conquer and rule."(Genesis 1:28) Even David confessed, "Everything that has been made great or low has been done by God."(1 Chronicles 29:10~14) Gaius, who noticed this, gave all his possessions to help all the evangelists(Romans 16:23).
3. World Evangelization
God must become the Master so that you can do world evangelization. Jesus said, "And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water, he will certainly not lose his reward."(Matthew 10:40-42) In other words, anything that's done for the sake of this Gospel will not be in vain(1 Corinthians 15:58).
In this way, the 7 Remnants; the people of Hebrews 11; and the businesspeople who helped Paul and his team created masterpieces with the very little things that they had. Like this, you, too, are the church officer and businessperson who must save the age.
[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, today, in order to influence 70 places, may the Holy Trinity become the Master of my business. May the works of establishing 70 disciples and 70 fields arise. Armed with the true Gospel and color of faith, may I be utilized until the very end. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
