A New Breed of Business People

Speak to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, to Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people (Haggai 2:2).

Zerabbabel was the governor of Judah during a time in the history of Israel when the great temple built by Solomon had been destroyed sixty years earlier. The temple lay in ruins and the Lord spoke to the prophet Haggai, "Is it a time for you yourselves to be living in your paneled houses, while this house remains a ruin?" God was calling for a remnant of his people to come out of their comfort zones and restore the glory of the house of God.

God is doing this same thing today among Christian business people throughout the world. He is raising up a remnant of business people who are being handpicked to use their resources, skills, and experience to affect nations who have not heard the message of Jesus Christ. And the only way they can hear is through commerce being brought into their nation through Christian business people because these are closed regions to normal missionary efforts.

But now be strong, O Zerubbabel,' declares the LORD. `Be strong, O Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land,' declares the LORD, `and work. For I am with you,' declares the LORD Almighty. `This is what I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt. And my Spirit remains among you. Do not fear.' (Haggai 2:4,5).

The remnant of business people God is calling today understand that they have to come out of Egypt from their past business life. Egypt signifies the way of the world. It represents sweat and toil. It is the flesh. This new way is exemplified by a pioneer spirit. God knows we need to have courage In order to move in this realm. Also, God assures us that His Spirit is with anyone who seeks to live in the realm of supernatural faith.

Are you one of these remnants He has handpicked in these days? Has He called you out of Egypt in order to do extraordinary things in your life for the Kingdom of God? Ask God to show you how He wants to use you in the marketplace this year. Then act and "be strong, all you people of the land."
