Topic: PURSUE THE FATHER'S BUSINESS

MEMORIZE: “A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.” Proverbs 13:22.

SCRIPTURE READING: James 5:1-7.

EXPOSITION: 

When Jesus began His earthly ministry to save the world, He chose successful businessmen of high caliber to be His disciples. For example, Peter and Andrew owned a fishing business (Matthew 4:18-40), and Matthew was a tax collector (Matthew 9:9). Once the disciples joined Jesus' ministry, their businesses skyrocketed. They were so prosperous that they were able to travel with Him for over three years without having to close down their business establishment. God's blessing  His empowerment to prosper and succeed in every area of life  was on their lives and businesses. Their association with Jesus was the key to obtaining the blessing that equipped them to get the job done.

Likewise, as an entrepreneur, you have been equipped and given the responsibility of going into the business world to gather your inheritance of wealth. “But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.” Deut. 8:18.

Reaching your millionaire status through your businesses and other God-inspired means should be sweatless! Don't rely on your education or current financial status to determine your success in business. Instead, ask God to teach you how to profit His way. It is written in Isaiah 48:17 “Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.” 

The key is to obey Him and allow wisdom to lead you to your place of wealth and prosperity.

“Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.” Psalm 66:12

“Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.” Proverbs 4:7;

Proverbs 8:18 

“Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun. For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.” Eccl. 7:11-12 

“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.” James 1:5.

Don't be afraid to market your ideas. Doing so may be your ticket to success. It may not seem feasible at this point, but God knows the impact your invention or service will have on society. There is no question that pursuing “God ideas” will lead to your inheritance of wealth. God's goal is to get as many people born again as possible. That's why Christian entrepreneurship is so important in these last days. The wealth that you gather is not for your benefit alone. Use it to please God by gathering lost souls into His kingdom (or family). Therefore, bless others and allow your money to be used for His mission. It is an investment that you won't regret!

PRAYER POINT:

Lord, open my eye of wisdom to profit Your kingdom with my prosperity in Jesus name.

DAILY BIBLE READING IN A YEAR – Joshua 13-15.
