Everyone is designed to work, and many people are fashioned and skilled to work for others, yet some people are gifted with vision and abilities that thrust them into entrepreneurial endeavors. Work in any of these forms God created are good because they allow people to exercise their mental, physical, and spiritual well-being and take dominion over the earth and everything that God created in it.
Each person should realize that he is no more special than any other person regardless of the role that he plays in the work environment: that of a business-owner / CEO or a secretary / worker bee. We simply play different roles and each one is ordained by God and honored by Him if the type of work performed falls within the bounds of biblical morality.
Many of those truly gifted, called, and trained as business-owners and corporate executives generally have a different level of vision that allows them to see the end goal that seems to others impossible to achieve. They are also able to formulate a plan of attack that will allow them to reach the goal even though current resources often appear to others too meager to reach the goal.
In order to grasp the fact that God will bless people who pursue entrepreneurial endeavors and even more so when they present them as a sacrifice to Him, one only needs to read and ask the Holy Spirit for understanding concerning the entrepreneurial endeavors of Abraham, Jacob, Job, Boaz, Jesse-father of King David, Joseph of Arimathea, Lydia-seller of purple, and many others contained in scripture. He is delighted when people use the skills, abilities, and resources He gives them in order to serve other people in a positive manner by providing employment, products, and services that can help them live a better and more fulfilling life.
Everyone cannot at the same time become entrepreneurs otherwise those truly called to such endeavors would not be able to meet staffing needs to bring forth the vision God has given them. Thus, those called to business should honor and treat their employees well recognizing they are partners in the grand plan God is using to make products and provide services for the betterment of mankind.
Please pray for this ministry and email me with any questions. May the LORD bless you richly as you follow His plan!
Psalm 90:17, 128:1-2, Proverbs 12:11, Acts 20:24, James 2:26, 5:1-6
