Please read this carefully.
If God is calling you into marketplace ministry, that is, if you are called to preach Jesus from the boardroom, the marketplace, or a professional platform, I urge you in the name of the Lord to be intentional about who you learn from.
Beyond your skills and qualifications, there is a grace required to overcome the systems of Babylon. You will likely need mentorship from men and women who are already graced and proven in the marketplace. This is where the maturity of your pastor and spiritual leadership may be tested.
Here are some practical steps you can take:
1. Find a trusted, biblically sound, morally upright mentor with at least ten years of proven experience in your area of interest.
✓ They should have built a successful business, led an organization, or possess practical experience in growing and scaling ventures. Not from their testimonies alone. With undeniable proofs.
✓ Set your heart to honor them and intentionally build a meaningful relationship with them.
2. Pay whatever legitimate price is necessary to gain access to their wisdom.
✓ Attend their trainings, invest in mentorship, and seek opportunities for meaningful engagement.
✓ Let your ideas, diligence, and character speak for you.
3. Be clear about your spiritual covering.
✓ Let them know who you submit to spiritually and, where appropriate, that you have the blessing of your pastor or spiritual authority to learn from them, if possible in writing.
4. Learn as though your future depends on it.
✓ Listen carefully, ask questions, observe closely, and apply what you are taught.
Before you argue with this counsel, please do your homework. Study the Scriptures. Research the subject. Examine whether there is biblical precedent and authority for what I am teaching. And if I have authority in this area to counsel.
May God help you break forth and flourish in your assignment.
Shalom.
