Your Ministry: It’s spelled “J-O-B.”
Years ago, in Bible college, a teacher warned that Islam was coming to America. “Yeah, right,” I scoffed, “I don’t even KNOW any Muslims!”
Now, whenever I visit that town, people of Middle-Eastern descent – practitioners of Islam - can be found everywhere. I’ve even had them ask if I, too, were from the Middle East. Has the Father sent them to America so that The Church can minister to them?
If so, how are we doing? Are we waiting for them to visit our churches? There’s as much of a chance as you visiting a mosque!
Along that same line of thought, with Americans spending up to 70% of our lives IN THE WORKPLACE, why wouldn’t the Father rally His warring clan and usher His Church into the Workplace?
Remember, wherever you go, He goes. Christ is IN YOU, the hope of glory. Greater is He who is IN YOU than he who is in the world. You are the temple of the Holy Spirit, the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead – He DWELLS IN YOU.
You possess phenomenal power to change environments and change lives. You hold the key to recessions and depressions. You can turn a company completely around by the Power of your effectual, fervent praying.
Yes, you!
And you can do the same thing to your neighborhood and your own home.
Friends, we have a wonderful cabin in the woods near a creek. We have turned this into a Small Event Center. My wife and I planted many plants and bushes on a hill there which we use as a backdrop for weddings. It wasn’t cheap and it was quite the back-breaker. Well, since we’ve owned the place, we have had an uninvited, unwelcome guest, an armadillo (we call him Armando). For those who don’t know, these nearly blind, nocturnal critters are diggers, always looking for moist, easy-to-dig ground in which they might find grubs. In the process of digging, they have uprooted many plants. Money wasted; God’s money.
Over the past 4 years I have shot at Armando with a BB gun to try and scare it away, hit his armor shell with a stick, and recently captured him in a trap from which he escaped. You’d think he’d take the hint, eh? “You’re not welcome here!”
Not Armando.
Finally, I decided to exercise my authority as a Believer.
DUH!
I stationed angels around the property and commanded Armando – as well as wasps and Katy-dids – anything that bothers me on that property and within the cabin with which I am always doing battle – to go, in Jesus’ Name! These things are costing us money…Kingdom Kash…and a whole lotta aggravation.
For several days, there were no new armadillo holes. “It worked!” I shouted with glee. Alas, I let my guard down. A few days later, there were more holes. UGH! So, I prayed again. Today, as I drove onto the property, there lie the carcass of the remains of an armadillo, picked clean by buzzards. Inside the cabin, there wasn’t a single Katy-did, living or dead.
Prayer works!
Is there any unwanted guest in YOUR workplace? I’m talking about demons, NOT hard-headed coworkers or Supervisors. The battle is NOT against flesh and blood; it’s against demons (Eph 6). I’m talking about the Spirit of Strife, with whom resides every evil work. How about demons of Homosexuality? Pride? Ego? Greed? Are your sales down? Is their dissension in the ranks?
Prayer works. Try it! Appropriate the Power of the One who resides within you. Once you’ve cleaned up the workplace, start working on your community, the local college, high school, bars, etc.
Every blessing,
Michael Tummillo
A servant of God
