GIFTS IN THE SPIRITUAL HOUSE VS THE MARKETPLACE
Some gifts of God can be used both ways in the marketplace as well in the spiritual house of the Lord
There are gifts of God that can be used in both the marketplace and spiritual house of the Lord to allow the anointing to flow bidirectional for the benefits of the body of believers
God’s gifts must be sent out through marketplace kings & believers from the spiritual house of the Lord into the marketplace
There are gifts cannot yield results because they have not found its right setting and atmosphere
TRAIN FOR WARWith gifts given to you,
God also trains you ..
2 Samuel 22:35
He trains my hands for battle; my arms can
bend a bow of bronze.

Of David. Praise be to the LORD my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.

THE PERFECT EQUATION
Gifts, Skills, the Word, Anointing & Presence of the Spirit
Going to the workplace with gifts less the Word will lead you to misapplication of gifts
Going to the workplace with the Word less the gifts will leave you fruitless
Going to the workplace with gifts less the anointing will lead you into vanity
Going to the workplace less the indwelling Spirit of God upon you will lead to a powerless and wandering life
God has given you His Best – The Word, Gifts, Skills, Anointing & The Mighty Presence
of His Spirit

CULTIVATING DOMINION MINDSET FROM POSITIONS IN THE WORKPLACE
When God gives you a prophetic promise in the workplace… He will also prepare a position to fulfill that destiny
When God allows challenges to confront you … He is affirming a position for you
When God allows to go through some seemingly defeats…He is refining your faith for the position
When God finally places you in that position He promised you… He desires you to use the position and its influences to bless His people

Our workplace decisions are made in line with decisions made in the throne
room of the Father
Jesus, our High Priest, is always interceding on our behalf for our progress &
success
Our workplace positionsare designed from above
And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, Ephesians 2:6
LEADERSHIP GIFT
Moving towards leadership edge
LEADERSHIP GIFT
Every gift God bestows upon His marketplace believers will lead them to some form of leadership
Our gifts will initially be used to serve others. There is character development beneath the gift manifestation, which is important for setting up the right spiritual foundation
Our gifts will lead us into managing resources – people & assets – and eventually leading them to achieve corporate goals
LEADERSHIP GIFTStretching Your Leadership Gift
Initial phase of your vertical gift - impact people of the same group interest or same goals. i.e King David initial phase only affected people of the same interest
Later phase of anointing as it increases, your vertical gift will change to diagonal that will affect other group interest. It is the beginning of your leadership recognition by others i.e impacting organizational level
Increase of your anointing in the workplace will change your vertical gift to horizontal gift, impacting region, nation, global i.e King David anointing alleviated him to become King of Judah & Israel, impacted nationally, the entire land of Israel
GOLIATHS DEFINE &
ESTABLISH YOUR GIFT
Embrace & confront them head on
GOLIATHS DEFINE & ESTABLISH YOUR GIFT
God will lead you to your Goliaths..as He did with young David
Your Goliath is to show you it is not your external that matters (man’s perspective)
Your Goliath is to show you God will train you with your gifts to overcome your workplace challenged
Your Goliath is to define and reaffirm your gift set
Your Goliath is your first door to enter into your destiny
The greater your Goliath is to move you into total dependence upon the Spirit of the Lord, not away. It is Him and His anointing through you gifts that will overcome them.
The level of your calling will be measured by the “size” of your Goliaths coming your way
SHEEP VS GOAT IN THE
MARKETPLACEThe works of the Spirit vs
the works of the flesh
SHEEP VS GOAT IN THE MARKEPTLACE

4 Complement gifts with others to get synergistic results
Use the gifts of others to get credit
5 Use the blessings for kingdom advancement
Take away the blessings of God for personal consumption
6 Sacrificing, humble, teachable, meek
Prideful, haughty, covetousness
SAFETY NETNever enter into the marketplace
without them
Marketplace Kings & Believers Need the fear of the Lord to..
Cultivate obedience to His commandments & laws (Word) in their day-to-day professional ethics, personal conduct and decision making
Enable God to continue to work through them and their circumstances, positioning them for favor and success
Prevent the misuse or manipulation of God-given gifts or skills
Maintain reverence and submissive to authority, & complying to proper protocol in the workplace
Keep them from conforming to the ways of the world, keeping the gifts undefiled
SAFETY NET
GIFT TRUTHNuggets of truth that will set your gift
free to fulfill divine purposes
GIFT TRUTH
Only by serving you will know the reason for your gift
The anointing of your gift can go as high as the level of your purpose
Your gift is not a worship object. Place it on the altar of your heart as sacrifices to the Lord, only by then God can multiple like He did with Abraham. Nothing should get in between you and God.
There are many layers to our gift. As we peel off them off one by one others will surely taste the goodness and blessings of God
Your gifts are designed and anointed specifically meant to solve
problems others cannot. Only then God can put you on the platform
of credibility
Every gift should be used with the ultimate objective of
“receive-develop-transfer” mentality
