GIFTS IN THE SPIRITUAL HOUSE VS THE MARKETPLACE

Some gifts of God can be used both ways in the marketplace as well in the spiritual house of the Lord

There are gifts of God that can be used in both the marketplace and spiritual house of the Lord to allow the anointing to flow bidirectional for the benefits of the body of believers

God’s gifts must be sent out through marketplace kings & believers from the spiritual house of the Lord into the marketplace

There are gifts cannot yield results because they have not found its right setting and atmosphere

TRAIN FOR WARWith gifts given to you,

God also trains you ..

2 Samuel 22:35

He trains my hands for battle; my arms can

bend a bow of bronze.

TRAIN FOR WAR

Psalm 144: 1

Of David. Praise be to the LORD my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.

Psalm 18:34

He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

The many ways He can shape you..

TRAIN FOR WAR

THE PERFECT EQUATION

Gifts, Skills, the Word, Anointing & Presence of the Spirit

Going to the workplace with gifts less the Word will lead you to misapplication of gifts

Going to the workplace with the Word less the gifts will leave you fruitless

Going to the workplace with gifts less the anointing will lead you into vanity

Going to the workplace less the indwelling Spirit of God upon you will lead to a powerless and wandering life

God has given you His Best – The Word, Gifts, Skills, Anointing & The Mighty Presence

of His Spirit

THE PERFECT EQUATION

OIL & TOOLS

No Gifts – Skills (Tools)

Anointing (Oil)

1 Gifts are indicator that a destiny is ahead of you

2 The manifestation of gifts promotes the recipient’s name

The manifestation of the anointing promotes the name of the Lord

3 Limited impact; influence a limited circle of people

Excellence, transformational

4 May not be accompanied by the Presence of the Lord

With the presence of the Spirit of the Lord

CULTIVATING DOMINION MINDSET FROM POSITIONS IN THE WORKPLACE

When God gives you a prophetic promise in the workplace… He will also prepare a position to fulfill that destiny

When God allows challenges to confront you … He is affirming a position for you

When God allows to go through some seemingly defeats…He is refining your faith for the position

When God finally places you in that position He promised you… He desires you to use the position and its influences to bless His people

CULTIVATING DOMINION MINDSET FROM POSITIONS IN THE WORKPLACE

We view & review our circumstances from the heavenliness

Our workplace decisions are made in line with decisions made in the throne

room of the Father

Jesus, our High Priest, is always interceding on our behalf for our progress &

success

Our workplace positionsare designed from above

And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, Ephesians 2:6

LEADERSHIP GIFT

Moving towards leadership edge

LEADERSHIP GIFT

Every gift God bestows upon His marketplace believers will lead them to some form of leadership

Our gifts will initially be used to serve others. There is character development beneath the gift manifestation, which is important for setting up the right spiritual foundation

Our gifts will lead us into managing resources – people & assets – and eventually leading them to achieve corporate goals

LEADERSHIP GIFTStretching Your Leadership Gift

Initial phase of your vertical gift - impact people of the same group interest or same goals. i.e King David initial phase only affected people of the same interest

Later phase of anointing as it increases, your vertical gift will change to diagonal that will affect other group interest. It is the beginning of your leadership recognition by others i.e impacting organizational level

Increase of your anointing in the workplace will change your vertical gift to horizontal gift, impacting region, nation, global i.e King David anointing alleviated him to become King of Judah & Israel, impacted nationally, the entire land of Israel

GOLIATHS DEFINE &

ESTABLISH YOUR GIFT

Embrace & confront them head on

GOLIATHS DEFINE & ESTABLISH YOUR GIFT

God will lead you to your Goliaths..as He did with young David

Your Goliath is to show you it is not your external that matters (man’s perspective)

Your Goliath is to show you God will train you with your gifts to overcome your workplace challenged

Your Goliath is to define and reaffirm your gift set

Your Goliath is your first door to enter into your destiny

The greater your Goliath is to move you into total dependence upon the Spirit of the Lord, not away. It is Him and His anointing through you gifts that will overcome them.

The level of your calling will be measured by the “size” of your Goliaths coming your way

SHEEP VS GOAT IN THE

MARKETPLACEThe works of the Spirit vs

the works of the flesh

SHEEP VS GOAT IN THE MARKEPTLACE

No Sheep Goat

1 Use the gift to give glory to the King Use the gift to achieve personal aspiration

2 Use gift achievement to testify the goodness and favor of the Lord and create inroads for kingdom pursuit

Use gift achievements to gain position and favor

3 Use gift selflessly to bless others Manipulate gift for personal advantage

4 Complement gifts with others to get synergistic results

Use the gifts of others to get credit

5 Use the blessings for kingdom advancement

Take away the blessings of God for personal consumption

6 Sacrificing, humble, teachable, meek

Prideful, haughty, covetousness

SAFETY NETNever enter into the marketplace

without them

Marketplace Kings & Believers Need the fear of the Lord to..

Cultivate obedience to His commandments & laws (Word) in their day-to-day professional ethics, personal conduct and decision making

Enable God to continue to work through them and their circumstances, positioning them for favor and success

Prevent the misuse or manipulation of God-given gifts or skills

Maintain reverence and submissive to authority, & complying to proper protocol in the workplace

Keep them from conforming to the ways of the world, keeping the gifts undefiled

SAFETY NET

GIFT TRUTHNuggets of truth that will set your gift

free to fulfill divine purposes

GIFT TRUTH

Only by serving you will know the reason for your gift

The anointing of your gift can go as high as the level of your purpose

Your gift is not a worship object. Place it on the altar of your heart as sacrifices to the Lord, only by then God can multiple like He did with Abraham. Nothing should get in between you and God.

There are many layers to our gift. As we peel off them off one by one others will surely taste the goodness and blessings of God

Your gifts are designed and anointed specifically meant to solve

problems others cannot. Only then God can put you on the platform

of credibility

Every gift should be used with the ultimate objective of

“receive-develop-transfer” mentality
