by Jesus Centric 1 Comment

If you are a small business owner, take your business to the next level by seeking the Word of God for wisdom and guidance. Here is a few Bible verses that will get you through your day.

But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today. Deuteronomy 8:18 NIV

All of the skills and talents you have as a business man, was given by God. Honor Him by making wise decisions for your business. Ask critical questions to yourself before making important business decisions.

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2 NIV

The Bible is very clear in wanting us to be innovative in our business. We should always seek how to improve in whatever we are doing. Brainstorm new ideas that will increase your business's bottom-line.

Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances; this is the will of God for your life. I Thessalonians 5:16-19 NIV

Something my Pastor always says is, if you're a doctor, you're a Christian doctor, not a doctor that is Christian. If you're a business entrepreneur, you're a Christian business entrepreneur not an entrepreneur that is Christian. What does this mean? It means that our priority in life is to serve Jesus first. Seek God first before your day starts. Be grateful for everything He has given you. Ability to work, your projects, your employees, your warehouse/office, give thanks.

Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. Proverbs 16:18 NIV

Many entrepreneurs struggle with pride. When you don't have an answer to a solution, be honest. Say you don't know but you'll find the solution. Never let your ego get in the way of doing what is right for your business.

And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 2 Corinthians 9:8 NIV

Trust in the Lord at all times. Miracles still work. And if you're needing one today for your firm, pray, fast for your business. God wants to see you take action into seeking Him to receive blessings in our business.

For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. II Timothy 1:7 NIV

Fear is the enemy of entrepreneurship. God wants us to be bold in our business ideas.

No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. Hebrews 12:11 NIV

You must have discipline in your business. You must make smart decisions with your firm. Are you wasting more money than bringing in? How are you managing your weekly, monthly, yearly budgets? We must take care of the work God has given to be managed by us.

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. I Corinthians 9:24 NIV

Being the owner of your very own small-business can be difficult. But when doing it with God's grace and wisdom, you may trip and fall, but God helps you get back up and run faster than others.

Overhearing what they said, Jesus told them, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.” Mark 5:36 NIV

There will be times when you are the only person who believes in your business dream. And I tell you today, don't be afraid. Be brave. Seek God and He'll give you answers that you urgently need.
