The first thing the Father ever said to a human being about the earth was a word of government. Before there was a temple, a nation, or a single altar, there was a mandate: rule. We were made to govern, and we were made to multiply. The marketplace is not a distraction from that calling; it is one of its primary theaters.
Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion. (Genesis 1:28)
When my Executive Assistant and I first began to access the Business Complex of Heaven, a man in white linen we came to know as Mitchell taught us something that reordered how I saw the whole arena of commerce. He said the Father’s desire is to cause His sons and daughters to become wealth creators in the earth. Many of the companies that employ thousands were founded in league with mammon and operate by ungodly practices and principles.
Heaven’s preference is that
the primary employers of mankind
would be His sons and daughters.
Read that again. The Father does not merely tolerate the son in business; He intends the son to govern business.
We are creators creating with the Creator. Even in the building of an enterprise, as we cooperate with Heaven, we are creating with the might and power of God Himself. This is not a one‑time transaction but a long‑term picture of what is coming to the earth through the Bride of Christ. Wealth creation through righteous trade is a gift of the Father to His children, and it keeps the enemy disgruntled, because the son is doing the very thing the enemy can no longer do.
Paul draws a distinction that every marketplace believer needs to grasp. An heir may own everything and yet function like a servant, because he has not yet come into the maturity that lets him govern what is already his.
Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all. (Galatians 4:1)
This is the exact condition many believers are in with respect to the marketplace. Legally they are heirs of the Kingdom. Functionally they live as slaves—slaves to the economy, to the calendar, to the fear of lack, to the opinions of men. The difference between the heir and the son is not ownership. It is government. The son has grown up enough to take responsibility for the estate and rule it on the Father’s behalf. That maturing is exactly what the marketplace draws out of us, if we will let it.
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. (Romans 8:14)
Governing sons must settle the question of why wealth is created in the first place, because the enemy will happily let you pursue wealth for the wrong reason and then use that reason to enslave you. Scripture is clear: the power to produce wealth is given, and it is given for a covenant purpose.
You shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant. (Deuteronomy 8:18)
Heaven has announced to the earth realm an increased capacity for wealth creation, and the sons have the privilege of participating in it. But Heaven asks a governing question before it releases the increase: Will you use this wealth for the purposes of the Kingdom and its expansion in the earth? The son who can answer that question honestly is the son Heaven can trust to carry weight. Wealth carried by a son becomes a river; wealth hoarded by a servant becomes a stagnant pond that eventually breeds mammon.
There is a widow in the record of Elisha whose story governs my expectation to this day. Her income had dried up and her creditors were coming for her two sons. The prophet told her to borrow vessels—as many as she could gather—shut the door, and pour. The oil flowed until the last borrowed pot was full, and only then did it stop. She could have had as much as she was willing to believe for. Her capacity was set by her vessels, not by Heaven’s supply.
Put out your pots to receive
the revelation of wealth creation.
How many pots do you have? How much provision can you believe for? In this era, Heaven has issued an invitation to gather pots so the Father can fill them. Do not shrink your expectation to the size of your circumstance.
The son governs by faith,
and faith gathers vessels
before there is anything to pour.
One practical way to increase your capacity for revelation is to pray in the Spirit using your prayer language. When you pray in the Spirit you are building the framework, the edifice, in which revelation can abide. The more you build it, the larger and stronger it becomes. I encourage you to build a strong framework for revelation in your life, because a governing son needs a large house for the counsel of Heaven to live in.
It cannot be business as usual.
It must become business Heaven’s way.
