When God calls you to the marketplace, the world will see it as business, but He sees it as a ministry. So if God has called you to minister to Christians in the marketplace, know that He has anointed you to do the work of ministry too (Ephesians 4:12).

Note to self: God has placed you there (in the marketplace), because He knew the impact you would make and the influence you would have, to make the world a better place.

Scripture Reference: 1 Corinthians 10:31 (whatever you do, do all to the glory of God) / Romans 15:20

Our focus scripture: Luke 6:48-49: (emphasis added)

She is like a woman who chooses the right place to build a ministry and then lays a deep and secure foundation. When the storms and floods rage against that ministry, it continues to stand firm and unshaken through the storm, for she built it wisely on the proper foundation. But the one who has heard my teaching and does not obey it is like a woman who builds a ministry without laying any foundation at all. When the storms and floods rage against that ministry, it will immediately collapse and become a total loss. Which of these two builders will you be?”
