Kingdom Business

The kingdom is divided into the left hand and the right.

The right hand is the state which is in charge of the capital and the state consists of all the people or children of God. They do not own those assets collectively but individually. Most nations own what they have collectively and the State controls the assets, including the people who are only human resources. God meant people to own the land and themselves but historically men have gone into bondage under States like Babylon and Egypt or Rome etc.

If you find yourself more an asset of a State than a free soul under God there are solutions that can be approached in a righteous manner. Jeremiah had a few things to say about the Babylonian Captivity.

The left hand of government is the church and it is in the alms giving business, promoting individual welfare through charity. The whole Christian conflict of the early Church was that they did not want to Join Caesar Care which provided for the individual welfare of the people through a social scheme of Corban.

When people listen to leaders that say and do contrary to God they go out of His presence and do foolish things.

God arranged that people go into captivity because they had forgotten what God wanted them to do and how God wanted them to live.

While they were in captivity they were told to do and not do certain things. They had to provide for their families and still be fruitful and productive.They were not suppose to be rebels or law breakers but also they were to pray to God for their personal needs and welfare and not their captors.

They were warned not to listen to liars and deceivers that would offer them schemes that would teach them falsehoods that would entangle the people into greater bondage.

People are presently in Babylon and have been carried away. Many Americans and other people in many countries have Built houses, and planted fields, and eaten the fruit; They took wives, and beget sons and daughters and have increased they have often sought peace but are carried away captives.

Now they need to pray unto the LORD to have peace.

Why?

Because they Let people deceive them and hearkened to false dreams not from the LORD.

Some people are waking up to those false dreams and have “thoughts of peace, and not of evil”. They no longer want to covet their neighbors' goods and force their neighbor to provide for them.

People are starting to have the faith to pray to the God of heaven rather than the gods of the world.

People are starting to seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness with all their hearts.

Those that seek His peace and make straight his ways will be set free. That freedom will be a product of seeking and striving according to His ways of peace and love for yourselves and also for others.

Plans

Step 1: Business Plan

Caring about others as much as yourself is the beginning of Christ's business plan.

Loyalty to what is right more than profit is part of His business plan.

These principles need to be manifest in all our business so that we become witnesses of his name, his character.

A business plan must be a road map taking you in a righteous direction.

A business plan is not what you do before you start but it is the start.

In fact you have already started.

Accumulation of your personal knowledge and skills is an accumulation of business assets. It is your first capital.

Your second source of capital is the skill knowledge and even assets willing shared by others.

In a kingdom business plan you are not alone because you are seeking to start your business to help others as much as yourself and there are others who are willing to do the same.

Most business need some Organization & Management skills and assets to begin with. In a congregation of record you already have some of that because you are gathering with others that care about your business before it even begins.

Every business is structured differently and which one is best for you could be the result of your trial and error or you can benefit from what others have already learned from their trial and error.

A business provides a Service or Product Line? Your Provision

What do you want to provide and how does it benefit others, your “customers”?

Are you applying the golden rule producing an honest provision for society?

Luke 14:28 “For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have [sufficient] to finish [it]?”

Step 5: Determine the Legal Structure

In many countries there are different rules about business for their citizens. Your goal may be kingdom but you have to begin seeking it where you are. The Church is in the business of charity but the people are capitalists of either the State or their own status. If of the State they need to decide which form of ownership is best for you: sole proprietorship, partnership, Limited Liability Company (LLC), corporation, S corporation, nonprofit or cooperative.

You will need to discuss this with many people and pray about it.

Step 6: Business Name,"Doing Business As"(DBA)

Many countries require businesses to Register with the State to do business in the state.

Choosing a name may not be as easy as you think.

Mankind is driven by names and the name you choose may affect your ability to market what you produce or offer.

Get experienced people with business savvy to go through this process.
