God is SO good, ALL the time!! 
By Joe Messina 

In the last three years my business has grown about 400%. I am in the "technology" services business. Companies in this industry were dropping like flies. We, for some reason, were not.

As a member of Crenshaw Christian Center, Dr Price, through the word, taught us that it ALL belongs to God. ALL of it. And ALL means ALL. So my daily morning prayer was that God would open the doors and give me the wisdom to know what to say and what door to walk through to glorify HIM. As time went on I was drawn to a group of Christian business men.

And after a while I became the chairman of the group. As I took on more of God's business and started teaching about ethics and integrity in business, God was out marketing my business, opening doors for me that I could never have opened on my own.

I was getting more and more business based on my lifestyle and the trust people were building in me and my company through the Christ that shined through me.

I worked on several principles:

1.		This business belongs to God. I am just His partner. (We are workmen together WITH HIM).
2.		I was to run my daily dealings by HIM for His approval. I pray over the contracts, invoices and bills (do everything as unto the Lord).
3.		I never knew who was watching me. But I also knew that I might be the ONLY example of Christ they may ever see.

This is how I run my business.

In less than three years, I have gone from working out of a windowless, 10x10 garage home office to a 4,200 square foot office building. I went from approximately 8 clients to 22 clients. Just recently, we picked up 4 new clients (2 are major contracts) without solicitation. Three were from word of mouth and observing us. One is a competitor with our largest client. Our largest client gave them our number because they knew we could help them and they trust that we will NOT give away any secrets.

I started The DUNAMIS Suites, a shared suite of offices, that I sublease ONLY to Christian business men committed to the furtherance of the gospel through their daily outward sign of a Christ-like lifestyle and business practices. To date, one person accepted Christ as a direct result of their trust in us through business dealings. When we presented the Gospel and the opportunity he immediately accepted the Lord. We allow our training room and conference room to be used by local non-profits at no charge, so they can come in and see the love of God in action.

When we dedicated our business to the Lord, we made it a public event (confessing Him openly). There were several public officials there as a surprise to me. I thought they were there as friends of the business and to support me, BUT they were there to present certificates from the State Senate, State Assembly, and County for our good works. God's good works. Remember, we do it WITH Him. God is good ALL the time.

If you want to market your business and have a phenomenal growth pattern, let the ultimate marketing God (yes, I do mean God) market your business. Just let God know you are there for HIM and are willing to do what He needs you to do to glorify HIM and He will honor you.

In a very short period of time, we are well known and respected in our community. We are considered community leaders and have been asked to join various boards to help serve the community. I recently needed a few letters of recommendation for a community position and was amazed at the responses I received. Not only did many want to write them for me, but they all had the same theme, "Joe is a man of honor and integrity". That is nothing more than a testimony to God's power and love.

Deuteronomy 8:18 states that God gives us the power to get wealth to further the gospel. That’s my goal and the goal of my company. To further the gospel through our work ethic, our resources and our love.

I thank God daily for allowing me to work with HIM to HIS glory.
