Mathew the Tax Collector- Virginia Beach, Va. USA

Dear Readers,

Barbara Lisiewski is a "Market Place" Prophetess and Minister. God has given her a word for the Christian Business people in response to a 7 part challenge given to our Flame of Fire family for the new year. The teaching was so important I am posting it below. This is a word in "due season."

Shalom!

Professional Business Leader Israel

The call: And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for today I must abide at thy house. And he made haste, and came down and received him joyfully! And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he has gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.

And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold Lord, the half of my goods, I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him four-fold. And Jesus said unto him; This day is salvation come to thy house, for as much as he also is a son of Abraham. For the Son of man is come to seek; and to save that which is lost.

As a Christian Leader or Business Person, how have you prepared dinner for Jesus? Perhaps you can follow Zacchaeus example and give; 1/2 of what you have to the poor, perhaps you can give 1/2 to a ministry which is producing much fruit, but does not have a big name and just perhaps is struggling to make ends meet?

You can search your heart first and then find them out!! Help as much as you can. Think about Zacchaeus’s heart, he thought way beyond 10% and the law of tithing! He gave 50% of everything from the start!!

Perhaps you have not conducted your business with integrity? Have you fudged a little? Lied to your clients in some way? Maybe you are just not completely forthright? It is time to do what Zacchaeus has done, prepare dinner at your house for the Savior, He is coming and it is time for you to set the table for Him to come.

He will set a table for you as well soon... Let the Lord of Glory transform you and be willing to do what ever He asks of you... Your treasure is in "Him" we live and move and have our being.

Don't wait another minute!! Get the table ready for dinner!!
