He is always wrestling in prayer for you, that you may stand firm in all the
will of God, mature and fully assured (Colossians 4:12).
“Good morning. Before we begin our staff business meeting I wish to ask John
to give us the intercessor’s report regarding the direction of our new
business development program. Our intercessors have been prayerfully
reviewing the action plan I gave them. We believe the Lord is directing us
in this way. However, our intercessors believe we may need to adjust our
direction on this.” Does this sound like a far-fetched illustration of a
modern- day company? If we are truly going to remove the separation of what
we perceive as holy versus unholy, then we must make some paradigm shifts in
our thinking.
The Lord has called you and me to be ministers of the Gospel in and through
the workplace. This means we must fight our battles, grow our companies, and
minister to our employees and vendors through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Intercessory prayer is the secret weapon of Spirit-led activity. Imagine
having intercessors that are part of your team, committed to helping you
make decisions in your business life “that you may stand firm in all the
will of God, mature and fully assured.” It is a comforting feeling to know
the decisions you and I make during the course of a business day are in the
will of God.
