Thy Kingdom Come

What would an organization look like if it were a manifestation of the Kingdom of God on earth?

The Kingdom of God manifest in my business would affect not only the day to day operations, but also the way I care for the spiritual journey of my staff and clients. I’ve listed a few specific examples of how my business could best reflect Christ:

• Ensuring the business as a whole has a positive impact on the world
• Excellence in our products and services
• All staff are paid fairly
• All staff have an opportunity to learn and progress, even if that means moving to another company
• Compassion and mercy are shown to staff and clients if they suffer difficult circumstances in their personal lives
• Ensuring a positive and healthy work environment – physical as well as emotional
• What is right is put ahead of what is profitable
• Turning the other cheek, instead of "going for the jugular" - Avoid Revenge
• Remaining humble and grounded
• Always marketing with integrity; under promising and over delivering
• Avoiding workaholic behavior, mitigate burnout

How does your workplace measure up?

For me, seeking the Kingdom of God to be manifested in my business is a daily pursuit. Therefore, I will continue to pray as Christ taught us, “Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.”
