The Kingdom Marketplace™ was birthed out
of Biblical principles in which Godly power and influence are utilized
in the area of entrepreneurial initiatives. Among the "Seven Molders of Culture
model," business endeavors aligned with God's design fulfill The Lord's
prayer, "Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done." As business individuals
consider how to obtain results, they do so with God in mind "...on earth
as it is in heaven." Biblical entrepreneurs use their sphere of
influence to: 1. Spread the Gospel
of the Kingdom through business. 2. Encourage ethical
practices among industries. 3. Promote a
righteous lifestyle among individuals.In practice, an individual having a Kingdom Marketplace™ mindset increases influence by building trustworthy relationships. Such relationships allow for the mutual concern of interests as well as cultivating a positive environment. Encouraging one another to make right decisions is yet another Biblical principle applied to trustworthy relationships. Furthermore, trust is developed when an individual's words and deeds are consistent and this foundational integrity produces trustworthiness. A key element to all Kingdom Marketplaces is that if one is to receive trust from others, one must be worthy of that trust. Gaining wealth is another component of Kingdom Marketplace™ living. An individual with wealth and assets has the ability to influence governments, industries, and people. The Bible declares in Ecclesiastes 10:19 that “money answereth all things." A biblical entrepreneur has the capability to have their wealth speak for them within the marketplace to promote righteous business practices. Ecclesiastes 7:12 also proclaims that “money is a defense." Biblical entrepreneurship encourages paying employees descent wages which results in increasing the enterprise’s good reputation in the eyes of consumers, employees, and government officials. This is how Kingdom marketplaces should work. Practicing Kingdom Marketplace™ ideals will empower others to transform their lives in order to become righteous individuals. Biblical entrepreneurs are trailblazers and standard bearers within their industry. Christians within the global marketplace are to model Godly character in all transactions. Their deeds will be able to testify that righteousness is the only way. Biblical entrepreneurs should display a lifestyle of holiness so they can spread the Gospel of the Kingdom to those with whom they interact. And the Gospel of the Kingdom is that God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, Y'shua, to die for our sins and anyone who believes in Him and repents will be saved. Our Biblical model, as depicted through Y'shua, reveals God's desire to impact the world through His people. The Messiah's ministry changed millions of lives by displaying the highest standard of Kingdom authority and righteousness. As King, Y'shua preached the Gospel of the Kingdom and exposed many false doctrines and traditions made in darkness. It is the Light, Love, and Truth of God and His Kingdom which transforms lives. To be a biblical entrepreneur one must use their influence to also model God's holy standard within business by living Kingdom principles. |
