A new economy by His spirit

Steve Lyston, Contributor

Imagine if nations and organisations allowed themselves to be led by God's spirit. The nation would not be tapping into the unclean things as a source of solutions or to gain income.

Any nation or organisation built on carnal things will surely lead to death and debt, while those built by the Spirit of God will experience growth, peace, and prosperity and debt-free status

Building by God's Spirit and His ordinance will allow us to understand the mind of God about a particular situation. He will also open one's eyes, give one the solution, visions, and dreams to transform a nation, He will give one and create a new economy.

It is so sad to see Jamaica and other Third World nations selling their birthright for a few dollars - which will surely bring them into enslavement - because they refuse to build by God's spirit. When one refuses to build by His spirit, one becomes blinded to the things that God has created for one's nation or one's organisation. The fact is that the wealth is always within and is contained in human vessels.

God wants to pour out His spirit upon four categories of people: sons, daughters, old men, and young men! But the outpouring He will do within the nation will only take place where there is a need and a desire for change. In order to have a new economy, there needs to be a new heart and a right spirit within each person, starting first with the leaders.

• By His spirit we
• Discern times and seasons
• Identify the needs and the desires of the people

Determine market conditions and areas of opportunity.

Unless companies change with the change, many companies will miss the moment and be caught off guard.

I write for the regenerated mind - those who are willing to see beyond the status quo and think outside of the box. I write for those who want to see change and are willing to step out boldly and do what has never been done before in order to get the results they have never seen before but desire to see.

We are in an era in which regardless of political affiliation, we must be willing to embrace the truth regardless of who brings it forth. Without a new mind and way of thinking and a willingness to embrace divine help, a person will not be able to discern even when good presents itself. (Jeremiah 17: 5 - 6).

Over the years, political administrations have changed, leaders have changed, but regardless of who has been in leadership, the nation has still been failing simply because the way of thinking remains the same. Even those who passionately criticise have the same unchanging mindset!

Systems can't change unless the minds of those people change. Why do you believe that when problems such as crime, youth employment, and poverty arise in the nation the only thing we can do is to legislate laws to deal with the problem while we ignore the real problem (and possible solution) and instead create laws to try to fix that issue?

There is no longer any difference in political ideologies. They are all looking to the same direction for rescue: China!

Farmers

It is God who has the power to bring a bumper harvest to our farmers. Only by His spirit do germination, growth, and the harvesting of a seed take place.

A farmer who is versed in his field has the capacity to forecast what will take place in an economy. The keys and solutions can be found within farming and raising livestock.

So economists, international lenders (IMF, World Bank) could take a page from the books of our farmers - should spend some time learning about how farmers do what they do. They would be better managers and decision-makers. They would understand the term 'gleaning', how to deal with the poor, and not allow nations to have two classes - the 'haves' and the 'have-nots'.

They will understand the workings of an irrigation system and the fact that water represents God's Holy Spirit, and in understanding the symbolism of it all, they would then recognise that without God's spirit, no economy can thrive.

Let us recognise that the best solutions for our current situation are found either in us or in the earth - the trees and the seed.

The more we remove God's principles from the marketplace, the more problems will develop.

For all businesses struggling, ensure that you capitalise on the great opportunities that are coming in the fourth month. Don't look at the physical or natural situation. Step out in faith!
