ChristBizNet ~ PO Box 56474 ~ Virginia Beach, VA 23456 Made with Xara Videos To Help You Grow In Your Vocational Calling in the Marketplace Some of the biblical examples of marketplace ministers were Joseph, Daniel, Esther, David, Paul, Barnabas and Stephen. They all understood that their focus and their ministry was about God's Kingdom being alive and thriving within the workplace. We must realize and understand that it is through our work and our ministry in the workplace that we can make the greatest impact for the Kingdom of God. Because what we do, “our work,” is an assignment from God, therefore we are worshipping God through our labor. By representing Jesus in all that we do, we are empowered to make a difference, not only in our businesses, but in our communities, cities and nations.

Minister in the Marketplace Prayer Lord Jesus, as I enter this workplace, I bring your presence with me.  I speak Your peace, Your grace, and Your perfect order into the atmosphere of my workplace. I acknowledge Your Lordship over all that will be spoken, thought, accomplished, and decided this day. Lord Jesus, I thank You for the gifts and skills that You have deposited in me.  I do not take them lightly, but commit to using them responsibly and well. Give me a fresh supply of truth and beauty upon which to draw as I do my job today.  Bless my creativity, my ideas, my energy so that even my smallest task may bring You honor. Lord, when I’m confused, guide me – when I’m weary, energize me. Lord, when I’m burned out, infuse me with the light of Your Holy Spirit. May the work I do, and the way I do it, bring hope, light and courage to all that I come into contact with today. And Oh Lord, even in this day’s most stressful moments, may I rest in You. In the name of Jesus, I pray, Amen.
