Stationary measures for continuous time markov chain

Why in every textbook stationary measures are defined only for recurrent and irreducible Markov chains?
I have a Markov chain model and without determining it's irreducibility and positive recurrency I could find it's stationary measures.
So my question is: What is the definition of invariant measures or stationary measures for a general Markov chain?
