Luke 2:42-49
From a young age, Jesus had a consciousness many people do not have today.
From a young age, Jesus made the Father's business His priority.
We will do well to know what the Father's business is, if truly we want to do the will of our heavenly Father.
God has business here on earth.
The parable of the talents is a parable showing us the business side of God, and God wants us to approach life with a sense of business. Matthew 25:14-30
Business refers to productivity, profit, judgement and success.
There is no business for you in a venture you're not making any profit from.
For profit to come we must be productive, putting our time and effort to something that will yield result.
As Christians we are meant to be fruitful. John 15:4-8
In business there is judgement involved.
Judgement refers to our ability to reason, make decisions, analyse situations, and put our time and resources in things or people that will yield results for us.
The end result of any good business is success.
To be in Christ is to be in business with God.
Just as we expect our business to yield success, God expects us to yield fruit for His Kingdom.
We are representatives of God here on earth doing business for our heavenly Father.
1 Peter 4:10
The business of our heavenly Father is the Kingdom of God, the aim of the business is souls, and our success in the Father's business is winning and influencing as many people or souls as possible into God's Kingdom.
Proverbs 11:30
Ministries are platforms God gives individuals or people to do business on for the Father.
Luke 6:12-16
Callings are assignments God gives His people to operate in for Kingdom effectiveness.
John 15:16- we are called to bear fruit.
A ministry is not the Kingdom of God.
A ministry is a platform that shows how the Kingdom of God works through teaching or preaching or demonstration of spiritual gifts. Matthew 4:23
Ministries, callings and spiritual offices are all for the advancing of God's Kingdom.
They are to be used to better people's lives and bring people into God's Kingdom.

How do we do business for the Father?
a) Use what God has given you well.
Moses used in the rod in his hand.
David used the sling and stone.
Jesus used His power and authority which is from another realm. God's Kingdom!
b) Function in your gift and ability.
The things you trade with to get God glorifying results are what God has given you.
Your time, your energy, your gift, talents and ability.
Don't try and use what you have not been given, use what you have.
c) Be born again
Salvation is the first step to partnering with God and working for Him.
d) Respond to the call of God upon your life
Humanity would not have heard about Moses, Gideon, David, the disciples of Jesus, and the Apostle Paul they way we do today if they didn't respond to God's call on their lives.
e) Use your ministry platform:
your ministry platform is the spiritual platform you are supposed to shine from.
