Creative Hearts Seek: In the Morning Devotional and Prayer GuideSýnishorn

Arise and Go. That was the instruction of the Lord after Elijah told King Ahab, who was utterly leading people in idol worship and rebellion against God, to proclaim a 3 ½ year drought in the land. God told Elijah to go to Zarephath to be sustained. Yet, this widow he was sent to was preparing to make the last meal for her and her son to eat and then die. But what she didn’t know is that right at the moment when she was about to give up, God had already prepared their miracle.

Scripture says that the Lord sent Elijah to a widow woman that He [commanded] to sustain him. That word commanded in Greek is ‘tsavah’ which means ‘appointed, set in order, lay charge” which means, although it appears as if she was preparing her last, God had already appointed/set in order this moment for her life to be changed forever. And guess what? In the same way, the Lord sent Elijah, you are being sent. Yes, the Lord is sending you to be a miracle, sign, and wonder to your clients. To bring glory on earth as it is in Heaven through the business/work He's given you and graced you to do.

It's more than a business, it's ministry.

I remember one time on set, a client shared with me that she was literally standing in a moment she had prayed for years ago. Not only was the photo session going to be used for her business, but also how God was showing her who she was in Him and how He was sealing confidence, boldness, and a fire for the work at hand. I got in the car and started crying, worshiping the Lord, thinking, "This is what it's all about"

This moment was a sign and wonder! Not only did she have an amazing photo session, but she also received an impartation of glory for the assignment & journey ahead. May we see our business the way the Lord sees it. May we be the salt & light, the answer, the glory carriers in every aspect of our business. We come out of agreement with believing that any part of what we do is insignificant or lacking.

This is the Lord's business, and He's called YOU to it. In this season, may the ultimate client experience be an encounter with the Lord through you!

Reflection: Just like Jesus proclaimed in Luke 4:18-19, what has the Lord anointed you to do? In your business/ministry/creative work, who has the Lord called you to?

Activation: Spend time praying for your clients, customers, your team, and all who work with you both now and in the near future. Ask the Lord what He wants you to declare, then pray that over them.
