Joseph Business: Uniquely Meeting Needs

Recently read a great book that was given to me by a dear prophetic friend.  The book is called, "The Seven Mountain Mantle" and is written by a man named Johnny Enlow.  This book is the sequel to his recent book called, "The Seven Mountain Prophecy."

I must say that for those who are in business and spiritually minded, the Seven Mountain Prophecy will completely change the way you see the world around you; particularly in regards to business and finance.  It is written by a very prophetic individual who sees most issues of this world as being able to be classified within the context of seven mountains: Media, Entertainment, Family, Government, Religion, Economy and Education.  The premise of this book is that there are principalities and demonic structures that govern the tops of the mountains and through doing so hold sway over the rest of the mountain as well as the world.  We as Christians are called to invade and take back these mountains from the enemy by walking in the areas of gifting and influence that God has given us.

The Seven Mountain Mantle continues the same vein of thought by giving a spiritual and prophetic analysis of those that have the "Joseph Mantle" to lead the way in taking back these mountains of influence.  As this blog is written and geared for those that are called to the mountain of Economy, I wanted to share some particular aspects of this mantle that would help us as we pursue God's best for our businesses.  The following is a significant quote from the book...

"The first mark of a Joseph business is that it is uniquely meeting a need.  The second mark is that wealth is the byproduct, not the goal.  These will be your important diagnostic tests for the future if you are looking to have a business that God will put His mantle of favor on.  The coming Josephs will be about uniquely meeting needs.  God's dreams will come to you as you posture yourself before Him for this purpose."


As you can see, those who are called to flourish in the mountain of business are called to bring forth solutions that uniquely meet needs.  It is out of meeting needs that the release of finances will come, which will then position us to continue meeting more needs.  It's a Kingdom paradigm and positions us to rule and reign on this mountain as servant kings.  Jesus said, "The greatest among you, will be the servant of all."  This is our destiny and call, to be the greatest servants of people, by providing systems, products, resources and services that improve the lives of those around us.  It is out of being faithful in these small things that we in turn are made rulers of much and are then able to continue to grow, flourish and take back this mountain of economy.

Right now the mountain of economy is ruled by the Mammon spirit that promotes selfishness and greed.  Our business ideas and ventures that are based on Kingdom values of serving and meeting needs are going to explode like wildfire and advance the Kingdom on this mountain.  The higher we go up this mountain, the more people in the world are going to see the majesty, the goodness and the power of our God.

Take some time this week to reevaluate your business and your business desires.  If your primary motivator is finances, you will realize that a Mammon spirit has been ruling in your sphere.  If your primary motivator is uniquely serving and meeting a need, then over time you will find that finances is simply the product of loving and serving others well.  They who are faithful in little, are being made rulers over much.
