The blueprint for a secular business may not include the same inspiration or intent as a Christian business plan. However, a business plan is important to the successful operation of any business. The Christian entrepreneur has to have the same knowledge of basic business principals as a secular business owner. However, the partnerships are very different.
Acquiring an education of basic business principals important to the day-to-day operation of the business. The education in the realm of Christian business principals will empower you to obtain financial independence. You will discover within the pages of the Bible, every resource needed to expand and explode your business profits.
By following the teachings of Jesus, your business can reap all the benefits that you envision for this endeavor. Do not follow or listen to the philosophy that God wants Christians to be poor. This is not the truth that the Bible teaches.
There are many misconceptions concerning the role of wealth in the life of Christians that are received as absolute truth. Do not allow these misconceptions keep you from reaching a high level of success in your business. There are some principals that Christian businesses must follow to receive the blessings of God.
An important part of gaining prosperity or riches is that to continue receiving the blessings of God, the Christian business must also fulfill their commitment by tithing. Some Christian businesses will give lip service to their Christian beliefs until it comes to the actual giving of money.
They will praise the Lord with their mouths but not with their pocket books. When you decide to follow the success principals of the Bible in their unaltered form to acquire abundance, then generosity of spirit in the way of tithing is a major requirement.
Pray about the business and ask God for guidance in selecting and running your business. Ecclesiastes 5:2 (paraphrased) . When you hear the voice of god and obey his voice there are vast benefits awaiting you. Deuteronomy 28:1-14 offers an amazing picture of what God has in store for you when you hear and obey His voice.
Your business and your life will be blessed when God is your partner. The Bible has a clear outline for your life. How much can you accomplish with a clear plan for your life? You will accomplish great things when you embrace the truth of the scriptures for your business venture. There is a surplus in the Kingdom of God. As a result of your partnership with God, you will have freedom from debt. God will show you ways to innovate your business by creating new streams of revenue.
The priests of the Old Testament were millionaires. The priestly tribe of Levi did not share in the abundance that the Promised Land provided. During the reign of Joshua, these priests prospered as a result of the tithe that they received from the children of Egypt. (Joshua 18:7; Numbers 18:21; and Numbers:18:26 .)
There is no benefit in being mediocre. God expects greatness.
