For Business: The Lord wants to strengthen your business so that it sits like a strong tower on the land

God is our strong tower - his name is a strong tower and we run into it and we are safe.

••• If you know someone in business consider passing this onto them •••

As I listen for business after business lately I, and others on my team are hearing this message - the Lord wants to strengthen you in your business and position your business like a solid rock that can not be moved. Your business is to be set up and running as something that is rock solid and can weather whatever storm may come.

This will mean he is giving you key instructions at this time to get things in order and be set up to weather storms.

Processes: Some need to go back to their processes. Your processes are outdated and inefficient both in time and people resource. They need to be updated. Some businesses have processes that have become slack and detoured away from the original plan which means that your communication is failing. You are experiencing some problems because your outdated processes communicate negatively to your customers and clients. It communicates that you are not in touch with the needs of your client or the values of your customers. This means they will go elsewhere. Check your quoting system and language.

Standards: Some need to get some aspects of business into order. You have things that you know are not set up correctly or meet requirements and standards and figure you will get to it one day. The day is now. It is time to get that sorted so that all of your process is rock solid. Being able to communicate this is in order is powerful for your customers but also your employees and your network. It gives you an edge that others don’t have and communicates that you provide quality and with integrity.

Finances: Some need to look over your financial statements and keep looking until you can understand what you are seeing and seeing it honestly. Once you have this base you can plan from there. You can’t move forward when you don’t know where you currently are standing.

Communications: Communications is another area coming up again and again for business. Every person who is in your business needs to communicate with the values of your business and a new value on the business needs to be a rock solid presence in your industry. You are here for the long haul and you will be making a mark. Communication of this value happens by demonstrating an understanding of your market needs and values while holding fast to your own. What are your values? Are they being shared everywhere you go?

Pray and begin to ask the Lord for his direction for how to set up for the long haul to weather the storms that may come around you, around your industry, around your geographical area.

God is our safe house and businesses are to present as solid safe houses all around the world representing God’s kingdom. Then they will be providers for many, for employees and for customers. The presence of your business will anchor in the industry drawing it towards upstanding, honest and strong function. Your business will strengthen others around you and encourage them that they too, can continue on solid and strong amidst anything that happens.

The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe. Proverbs 18:10

In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps. Proverbs 16:9

Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken. Psalms 55:22

Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit. Jeremiah 17:7-8

The Lord turned to him and said, “Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of Midian’s hand. Am I not sending you?” Judges 6:14
