Kingdom principles in the work place!

I would like to take a brief moment to share what happen in my Vistage meeting today.

This meeting is made up of key executives and CEO’s of major companies. We meet once a month to discuss business trends, and economic statuses.  I attended my first meeting last month. We were fortunate to have a very well known Economist attend as the guest speaker. This individual has over 30 years of experience and a 95% accuracy rate with economic projections. What I found most interesting is that he was stating many of the same projections that Pastor Patricia has been conveying to many of us during the past few months.

I attended my 2nd Vistage meeting today in Columbia. Today’s meeting was concerning financial ratios and bank covenants. I know it sounds boring, but get this and keep in mind this is a secular business meeting…. The leader of our Vistage group began to guide us with Kingdom Principles! He asked us to write down five life goals we each wanted to complete before our life was over. These goals were to consist in personal and professional areas. Once we wrote down our goals he went around the room and asked each one of us to state the first step that would allow our goals to become reality. There were several intelligent statements, many clever steps, and some CEO level answers. Once everyone was done he said, “You are all wrong, the first and most important step to making your goals reality is speaking life to them! you must speak it into reality”  Wow I was floored! I then said to him, “Are you saying that the power is in the tongue and that we speak life or death over ourselves and our goals?”  He let the question process for a brief moment and then he said, “That is exactly what I am saying.”

God is restoring this world in all areas and we will live by Kingdom Principles!
