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.

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.

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.
