From the desk of National President

Shalom,

Salam jumpa di ICCC Newsletter edisi bulan November

2014.

Akhirnya Presiden RI yang baru Ir. H. Joko Widodo

melantik pra menteri Kabinetnya yng berjumlah 34 orang

pada hari Senin 27 Oktober 2014 yang disebut: Kabinet Kerja. Memang

slogan baru yang sering diucapkan beliau sejak pidato pelantikannya pada

tanggal 20 Oktober 2014, adalah Kerja-Kerja-Kerja.

Dalam konteks konvensional, mungkin sudah banyak umat Kristiani yang

paham tentang hal tersebut karena Rasul Paulus sendiri mengatakan “siapa

yang tidak bekerja, janganlah dia makan” (2 Tesalonika 3: 10), tetapi jika

dalam konteks pelayanan dimana kita berada mungkin kadang-kadang kita

masih perlu diingatkan, bahkan berulang-ulang. Mengapa? Salah satu

jawabannya mungkin karena Allah kita adalah Allah Yang Maha Baik,

Allah Yang Maha Pengampun. Tidak seperti atasan kita, klien kita,

supplier kita, bahkan karyawan atau partner bisnis kita yang akan segera

bereaksi atau malakukan “pembalasan” jika kita tidak dapat memenuhi apa

yang sudah disepakati atau sekedar harapan kita sehingga kita seolah-olah

lebih “takut” kepada mereka daripada kepada Tuhan yang kita layani.

Oleh karena itu, dalam nuansa eforia Kabinet Kerja yang baru, mari kita

semua lebih serius melakukan kerja kita dalam segala peran kehidupan kita,

apakah itu dalam usaha atau pekerjaan, dalam keluarga, atau dalam

pelayanan kita

Last but not least, dengan senang hati saya memberitahu para pembaca

terkasih bahwa 2(dua) anggota National Board ICCC Indonesia menghadiri

ICCC International Conference & International General Meeting (IGM)

2015 di Athena, Yunani pada tanggal 30 Oktober – 2 November 2014.

Kita doakan perjalanan mereka berjalan lancar dan baik, dan juga seluruh

pembicara dan peserta IGC maupun IGM diurapi oleh Tuhan, sehingga

mereka kembali ke tanah air akan membawa pulang penyingkapan-

penyingkapan yang baru yang akan memperkaya bukan saja kehidupan

rohani kita tetapi juga kehidupan jasmani kita semua.

Selamat bekerja…bekerja…bekerja melayani Tuhan, dan sampai jumpa di

edisi bulan depan, dan Tuhan Yesus memberkati anda sekalian,

Tonny Soetjoadi

National President

How Business Operates in God’s

Economy

Kingdom business is a movement spreading

globally—because it is God’s movement, not born

of man. We know that His Kingdom will invade

every area and eventually take over every realm,

and is described in Luke 13:18 as a growing tree

that gradually fills the whole earth until all the birds

can nest in its branches. Those of us who are

called to Kingdom business are a unique breed of

people. Our thrill doesn’t come from aspects of

church alone. Rather, we are driven to succeed

and make money, to expand and branch out in our

communities with services and products. Kingdom

business people are not particularly motivated by

a personal desire for money, but find ourselves

motivated to establish a new economy and set a

precedent for a new way of life. The success we

seek is more to see His Kingdom established in the

business realm.

What will happen as we unite together worldwide

in this vision; from all denominations and cultures?

Very quickly it will be the platform of change

worldwide. We certainly have seen the inability and

futility of politics to effectively change anything.

God is making ready His economy, preparing us to

be the vessels He pours life into as He brings forth

a new earth that He will dwell in (Rev. 21:1-3). We

are instructed to pray “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will

be done on earth as it is in heaven”(Matt.6:10).

Believers will be needed to change every realm—

which includes health, education and more—since

this encompasses every arena.

Page 4

In this world, the devil has long performed as a

“mimic” of God, imitating and twisting God’s

principles to his advantage wherever he can as he

attempts to appear as an angel of light

(2Cor.11:14-15). The old serpent has gained

control of this earth (Matt.4:8-9) and has taken

over the business realm to corrupt it. Yet, many

business principles and rules of trade or commerce

were not inherently wrong. Satan has played upon

greed to twist the pure basis of economic

exchange until we find ourselves living in the time

described in 2Tim.3:1. However, in the book of

Genesis we see many examples of healthy

business in the early days of God’s people (Gen.

13:12, 26:12-14, 39:2-3).

In God’s economy we will enjoy commerce as a

means of creativity and blessing for the functioning

of our communities. Everyone will work in jobs

they actually love doing! This may seem

revolutionary, but there is another reason for

working other than the drudgery of having to earn

a living in order to scrape by. We have been so

long in the confines of this dying age that it is

difficult for our minds to grasp an economy where

business and labor takes place out of the joy of

providing it. This is life when His Kingdom is

established, and businesses will flourish without

greed involved.

Such a business in the Kingdom may not

necessarily be structured that much differently on

the surface – yet it is fundamentally very different

in how it operates. The difference is in the spirit of

integrity with which the business is operated. The

heart and spirit of the people operating the

company are given to the King and are not bonded

to the things of this present world. Here are some

dynamic points that describe those differences:

1. Care and concern for one another

versus discrimination and “office

politics” to get ahead

This may be the largest difference in the feel

of a Kingdom company. There will be a

sense of care for all men equally, without

regard to race, creed, or social status. As

Paul points out in Gal. 3:28; there is neither

Jew nor Greek, male nor female, but all are

one in Christ. Business owners in the

Kingdom will be very objective about this.

They will weigh matters based on a person’s

abilities for a task, loving when God has

placed someone in their “niche.” They will

appreciate all faithful workers in their

business (1Tim. 5:18) and not use or

manipulate one another for their own gain.

They should strive to hire workers that

embrace correct relating and not tolerate a

bad or divisive attitude in the business. It

may seem surprising to know, but God pays

careful attention as to how we conduct our

businesses (James 5:1-4 & Amos 8:4-7). He

judges it as part of our own personal

relationship with Him. In Malachi 3:1, He

vows to avenge the laborers who have been

oppressed by poor business practice and we

may well be living in that time right now.

Therefore, all dealings should be conducted

open for His inspection and business owners

can sleep at night knowing this.

2. Competition in the Kingdom is

embraced versus jealousy and envy to

destroy another’s enterprise

It is not that we are to tolerate ideas being

taken and misused, or an unjust competitor

trying to take over. There will still be laws to

govern offenders in the Kingdom. Rather,

those problems should rarely exist because

we operate with a respect for one another.

One major goal is to live in oneness and

harmony, instead of just to make a dollar at

all costs. We will conduct our trade with

respect to our neighbor in business, and

encourage someone who comes up with a

great idea, not undermine them. This way of

life may seem challenging at times, when a

seemingly similar trade is nearby. But more

and more we will fine tune and identify the

very specific niche that our business holds in

the marketplace. There is plenty of room for

everyone’s creativity and enterprise in God’s

economy. In fact, the greatest inventions

have yet to be seen and we will see them

spring forth from inspired people.

3. The success of the company is due to

following God’s principles versus

following a pattern of compromised

integrity

We are to be a breed apart, business men

and women that “…seek first His

Kingdom…and all these things will be added

Page 5

to you” (Matt.6:33). It is a relationship with

our heavenly Father that is paramount in our

lives, and our business success is born out

of the blessings that He has set forth for

those who practice His ways. God has the

power to make wealth (Deut.8:17-18), but we

do not take it for ourselves by other means.

In Genesis 14:23, Abraham would not take

any goods offered, lest that king say he was

the one that made Abraham wealthy. Neither

will we compromise our integrity for money.

The principles we follow will carry into every

area of our business. We believe that God

can take care of us like He does the flowers

of the field and we do not have to break

God’s spiritual principles in order to gain

wealth. We will be happy, healthy and

wealthy following His ways. The book of

Proverbs contains countless practical

business guidelines and instruction for the

workplace that we can follow. The author,

Solomon, is of course renowned for being

the wealthiest man on earth and perhaps

today would be counted a trillionaire. The

chapters he wrote serve as a “how-to”

manual that illustrates the principles that got

him there.

4. We are Givers by nature versus being

Takers by nature

It is more blessed to give than to receive;

give and it will be given to you. This famous

principle we know and try to abide by.

Therefore, a Kingdom business will also give

funds out of its profits towards accomplishing

His goals in this earth. We will be led by His

Spirit to give funds as we watch Him bless

our bankbook miraculously. We are not

worried about giving things away as we

begin to experience living in God’s law of

return. It governs the realm of spirit far more

than people realize and is one of the “higher

laws” that transcends all walks of life.

Imagine what would happen if all billionaires

stopped spending all of their money just on

themselves. Greater world change could be

propelled through Kingdom commerce than

any government can ever produce. There

may even be a distribution of wealth

described in Acts 4:34-35, where all needs

are taken care of under Christ’s Lordship. A

Kingdom business person is driven to test

out the giving back stated in Malachi 3: 10

and to prove God’s Word is true in this

regard. Because He himself is the ultimate

giver of gifts, we take on His nature as we

grow up in the Lord.

5. A business itself becomes an

interdependent ministry, versus a

business existing with no

accountability

Just because you have a for-profit business

doesn’t mean it does not also exist as a

ministry of service to the world around you.

The origin of business was to supply a need

in trade, and of course in ancient history it

8was often a barter system. A business in a

Kingdom city exists to serve those

surrounding it. There will be a blessing on a

business whose owner(s) lives to serve by

selling goods and services to the world

around in no less fashion than a minister

who supplies spiritual growth to a church.

Most of America was built on small

businesses with the “neighborhood store”

concept and God richly blessed the origins of

the American economy because of it.

Whether a business is micro, medium, or

global size, there is room for all in a Kingdom

business ministry. Some may financially

support ministers of the gospel, as the

businesses did with Paul in the New

Testament (Acts 18:2-5). Paul also makes

note of “this ministry of service” in 2Cor.

9:10-13, writing “because of the proof given

by this ministry they will glorify God…for the

liberality of your contribution.” Other

businesses may have their skills and

resources called upon. When King Solomon

wanted to build the temple, he summoned

the Kingdom business owners of that time to

come together with their talents (1Kings:

7:14). When Christ called the twelve

disciples, almost all were local business

operators. It is likely the Lord never asked

their businesses to stop, but they continued

on while the disciples walked with Him. The

fishing business learned how to delegate

management quickly! However, when a

resurrected Jesus returned, he gave them

hands-on advice on which side of the boat to

Page 6

fish for a miraculous catch that day, as

illustrated in John 21: 4-6. This exemplifies

what God has in mind to bless the Kingdom

businesses that are serving His purpose.

There are probably many other points of difference

that come to mind as you are thinking along this

track. Practicing business by the principles of

God’s economy will begin to evoke a blessing on

your business and personal life. It is time for a

revolution in business which will show to the world

His ways, as we are admonished in Matthew 5:16;

“Let your light shine before men in such a way that

they may see your good works and glorify your

Father who is in heaven.”

(Gregg and Debbie Gray – Kingdom Business Connection)

International Christian Chamber of Commerce (ICCC) lahir dari kepatuhan terhadap visi yang diberikan selama kurun waktu enam tahun kepada seorang usahawan Swedia J. Gunnar Olson, yang diteguhkan dengan nubuatan dan terbukanya pintu kesempatan disekitarnya yang sebelumnya tertutup.

ICCC merupakan panggilan yang serius dan menantang bagi pengusaha Kristen untuk mengenali jaman yang sedang kita masuki dan dengan terang dari pengenalan itu memasuki dimensi iman yang baru yang disediakan bagi mereka yang …” takut akan TUHAN … berbicara satu sama lain … dan menghormati namaNya.” (Maleakhi 3: 16) Visi ini memanggil para pengusaha dan kaum profesi di seluruh dunia yang terbeban untuk saling berhubungan, bertukar pendapat, memperdagang-kan barang dan menyediakan jasa, saling mendukung dan menguatkan secara rohani dan materi. Berdasarkan eksistensi dari visi itu sendiri memproklamirkan otoritas Kristus yang mutlak diseluruh dunia. Pada intinya ICCC adalah kehendak TUHAN untuk memperluas tali kasih-Nya, melalui gereja-Nya, didalam dunia usaha. Hal ini menuntut para pelaku

bisnis mencari terlebih dahulu Kerajaan-Nya dan segala Kebenaran-Nya. Urapan tersedia bagi mereka yang dengan mata melihat dan telinga mendengar panggilan jaman. Sebagaimana halnya Raja Daud yang menerima urapan untuk menjadi raja, jauh sebelum dia menjadi Raja, yang keadaan pada saat urapan diberikan sama sekali tidak mungkin bagi Daud untuk menjadi Raja, demikianlah ICCC memanggil para pengusaha Kristen sebelum peristiwanya terjadi untuk mengalami kebebasan masuk ke dalam dimensi baru, dimana sasaran, strategi dan perencanaan bersama-sma diwujud-nyatakan sesuai dengan iman di dalam Kristus. ICCC mencanangkan panggilan itu sejalan dengan rencana TUHAN bagi jaman ini sebagai kunci memperoleh berkat dan pertumbuhan dan agar dapat bangkit berkemenangan diatas gelombang ombak yang mengancam. Panggilan ICCC: “Mereka akan menjadi milik

kesayanganKu sendiri, firman TUHAN semesta Alam pada

hari yang Kusiapkan. Aku akan mengasihi mereka sama

seperti seseorang menyayangi anaknya yang melayani dia.

Maka kamu akan melihat kembali perbedaan antara orang

benar dan orang fasik, antara orang yang beribadah

kepada TUHAN dan orang yang tidak beribadah kepada-

Nya.” (Maleakhi 3: 17-18)

KEYAKINAN IMAN ICCC:

Satu-satunya TUHAN pencipta segala sesuatu dalam kesatuan Trinitas: Bapa, Anak, dan Roh

Kudus.

Keilahian TUHAN Yesus Kristus. Kelahiran-Nya dari rahim seorang Perawan. Karya penebusan

dosa manusia melalui kematian-Nya diatas kayu

salib. Kebangkitan-Nya. Hak otoriatas diri-Nya atas dunia dan Kedatangan-Nya yang kedua kali

dalam Kuasa dan Kemuliaan-Nya.

Alkitab, sepenuhnya sebagai Firman TUHAN yang

mem8berikan inspirasi dan berbagai peraturan

bagi kehidupan yang dilandasi iman.

Keselamatan pribadi orang berdosa dan

kebutuhannya untuk mengalami proses

regenerasi melalui8 karya Roh Kudus dalam menuju menjadikannya sebagai manusia yang

dikehendaki oleh TUHAN, seutuhnya.

34:10) as you seek Him. Be blessed as you

trust His heart toward you.

fruit that will last. Your Father blesses His

eternal work through your hands. He will call forth the new thing He wants to do in

you and through you. He leads you in great

wisdom in paths of opportunity to glorify

Him with your life. In Jesus stand firm in

faith, declaring His righteousness and

victory. Be a blessing to many others. Be blessed as He gives you the fruit of your

labors.

Be blessed in the name of the One from whom

all blessing flows.
