Godβs Will is for Your Business and Entrepreneur endeavors to prosper.
Written by Pastor David Breed
As Business Leaders and Entrepreneurs you need to know that God wants you to prosper. God wants to prosper His children. He's concerned about you. He wants you to have the good things of life. He said in His Word,
Isaiah 1:19 (NIV) - If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good things of the land.
But He doesn't want you to put the good things of the land things first. Some are more interested in making the dollar than in serving God. Spiritual things must come first if you are to be spiritual. You must esteem spiritual things more than the dollar, more than earthly things. No, it's not wrong to have money. It's wrong for money to have you. It's wrong for money to be your ruler, your master. The Bible makes it so clear that God wants us to prosper. The word prosper in the bible means to succeed and to have good success.
Psalm 1:1-3 (NLT)
1 Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers.
2 But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night.
3 They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do.
Joshua 1:7 (NIV) β Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go.
3 John 2 (KJV) - Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper (material prosperity) and be in health (physical prosperity), even as thy soul (spiritual prosperity) prospereth.
God wants us to prosper; but not at the expense of our spiritual life. By praying and reading your bible, like the children of Issachar God will give you wisdom to know what course you need to take next.
1 Chronicles 12:32 (NLT) - From the tribe of Issachar, there were 200 leaders of the tribe with their relatives. All these men understood the signs of the times and knew the best course for Israel to take.
And like Daniel, God will give you the wisdom that is 10 times greater.
Daniel 1:17-20 (NLT) - God gave these four young men an unusual aptitude for understanding every aspect of literature and wisdom. And God gave Daniel the special ability to interpret the meanings of visions and dreams. 18 When the training period ordered by the king was completed, the chief of staff brought all the young men to King Nebuchadnezzar. 19 The king talked with them, and no one impressed him as much as Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. So they entered the royal service. 20 Whenever the king consulted them in any matter requiring wisdom and balanced judgment, he found them ten times more capable than any of the magicians and enchanters in his entire kingdom.
This is just an introduction to all the wonderful things God has planned for you. Remember, Godβs Will is for Your Businesses and Entrepreneur endeavors to prosper.
STUDY THE SUBJECT OF LEADERSHIP
Don't Let Go of Your Dreams
Written by Jerry Savelle
Don't ever lose your dreams! I don't care if it looks like they are never going to come to pass!
Have you ever seen people who have no goals, no dreams, no vision, and no purpose? They're miserable! I don't enjoy being around them. I want to help them and minister to them, but I don't "pal around" with people like that. They pull you down to their level, and if you're not careful, you wind up just like them with "no reason to live."
Acts 26:16 says, "But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee."
When God gives you purpose, then He is also the one who will make it come to pass. Your responsibility is to hold on to the dreams!
Even if you have blown it and made mistakes, had setbacks spiritually, and even let sin back into your life, (that is not a license to continue doing it) God is a God of restoration.
Acts 3:19 says, "Repent ye therefore, and be converted that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord." That's what the "spirit of revival" is - a time of refreshing, recovering from the effects of heat, and recapturing your divine destiny!
How do you "catch the spirit of revival"? First, you need to go before God and repent that your sins may be blotted out! Second, YOU need to spend time in fellowship and prayer with the Father. Spending time with the Lord will produce joy on the inside of you, and that joy will give you the strength you need to get back on your feet and life!
Proverbs 29:18 says, "Where there is no vision, the people perish." People without a vision are nonproductive people! You can get around certain people and know in five minutes ? they have no vision. Why? They have no fire! They have no drive! No motivation! They are just existing! Their favorite scripture is "come quickly, Lord Jesus!" They just want out!
Since you became a Believer, I am sure that God has given you some dreams. There have probably been some dreams that you have followed through with, and some of which you have let go. I challenge you to give some thought to the dreams God has given you. Write them down, aggressively pursue their fulfillment, and check them off as they come to pass! Don't just settle for a life with no purpose! Be aggressive!
Hebrews 10:23 says, "Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering." Do you know what hold fast means? Hold fast is a word that we have heard so many times and may not realize the impact it has. It is taken from the Greek word katecho. Katecho is a compound of two words: Kata and Echo.
Kata means something that comes downward with force; while Echo is defined as "I have" or "I possess." The two words combined together mean not only to embrace something, but to hold it tightly and with force! In other words, you take hold of this dream with force, pull it downward and to you, and don't let anything take it away from you!
There are two very important factors that the devil will try to use to get you to let go of your dreams:
1) Time. Time has a way of saying, "it's been two years now! Where's your dream?" Long periods of time where it looks like nothing has happened will try to influence you to just go ahead and give up. "If it hasn't happened by now, it never will! I'm getting older!" Don't let go! God called you to fulfill this dream, and He is expecting you to carry it out!
2) People. There are people that Satan uses from time to time to try to discourage you. They may say, "I thought you were going to do this or that, what happened?" Hold on to it! "Do you know how much it will cost to do something like that?" Hold on to it! Don't let the devil use people to distract you from your dreams. Keep your eyes focused on God and keep your heart full of God's Word. He has all the answers to all your questions, and you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you!
If you let up just a little bit, Satan interprets that as surrender! You must hold it tight! Embrace it with force! Don't let Satan or anyone else talk you out of the thing you have in your heart. Don't let go of your dreams!
Remember,
Seek God for His Plan,
Purpose to Love and Bless Your People,
Never Give Up,
and Always Give God the Glory For All the Results!
