It’s impossible to save businesses, industries, and regions with your standard, level, and criteria because every region has a different spiritual background, characteristics, and those living in the region have already been imprinted with other thoughts. The stream of the field can only be changed when God-given spiritual strength, prayer, and power are restored. What must be different about these businesspeople?
1. Businesspeople Who Possess in Advance
Usually, when you want to evangelize, you start by thinking that you need great financial power. However, the Bible states that saving churches and regions begin with small works. You must first change your existing thoughts. In doing so, God will help you discover the covenant and will reveal your vision and dream(24 hours) for the field. Afterward, the image will be actualized;(25 hours) evangelism will take place; and you’ll create a masterpiece that God has already fulfilled.
2. You Must Possess Eyes and Answers in Advance
You must be able to see the small parts, the easy parts, and the empty places. The female disciple Tabitha saw those three aspects well. Afterward, you’ll discover Satan’s traps and your mindsetframe will change. In addition, you’ll be freed from snares which will allow you to fully follow the Word and prayer.
The following are the last words that Jesus spoke. “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses to the end of the earth.” Starting today, your business; church ministry; and every discovery you make for the rest of your life must begin with “only.”
[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, may my business and the regional Gospel movement begin within the strength and power of “only Holy Spirit.” I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

[Deep Questions]
Q. Have You Read Any Anecdotes Regarding John Wanamaker?
One day a newspaper reporter asked Mr. Wanamaker a question. “Up to now, what is the most successful investment you’ve ever made?” Mr. Wanamaker replied without any hesitation.
“The Bible that I purchased for $2.75 when I was eleven has been my greatest investment. That Bible has made me into the person I am today.”
When Mr. Wanamaker was fifty years old, the 23rd president of the United States, Benjamin Harrison, appointed him as the Postmaster General. In fact, there are more anecdotes that tell how Mr. Wanamaker valued his role as a Sunday School teacher at church more than his role as a cabinet member. President Harrison first said, “Use your excellent management skills to serve as the Postmaster General.”
However, Mr. Wanamaker wouldn’t let the president finish and flatly refused his request. Mr. Wanamaker replied, “I have to rest and give worship on Sundays. Also, my role as a Sunday School teacher is very valuable so if the position of the Postmaster General interferes with my ability to teach children, well, that’ll become a big issue for me.” Eventually, Mr. Wanamaker accepted the cabinet post under the condition that he would still teach children and give worship on Sundays.
A newspaper reporter asked him if his cabinet position was less than that of a Sunday School teacher. To that question Mr. Wanamaker answered, “My role as a Sunday School teacher is my lifelong job, but my position in the cabinet is a side job that will only last a year or two.”
Mr. Wanamaker faithfully served his cabinet post for five full years.
