When faith in the Lord does not guide you then you misunderstand your sole purpose for being (having intimate relationship with Him) and veer away from the use of your vocation as a means to worship Him and be a blessing to other people.
Faith is more than just a word and it must be quantified and displayed in a personal intimate relationship with Jesus Christ that leads you to live according to His moral plan laid out in the bible. It should not be guided by commendations that you receive or desire from other people. Instead it must be guided by doing and saying those things that scripture instructs in conjunction with the Holy Spirit’s leading.
Sometimes people will like your moral standards and how they guide your life and sometimes they won't. Some will say you are wise or intelligent and some may say you are ignorant or stupid. Nevertheless, you should choose to march on in good works produced by faith knowing that man is never wiser than God.
Many stories in scripture show that people can become wealthy when their guiding principles come from faith in Christ. His providence and the choices He allows you to make point you to a variety of jobs, career, and entrepreneurial undertakings (including those that are ministry and mission based). It is your responsibility to engage these employments in a Christ-like manner free from greed, narcissism, oppression, and other ungodly heart conditions. Be more interested in pursuing His specific purpose for your life via good stewardship than in obtaining wealth to lavish upon yourself.
Many people have prospered immensely in their personal and business lives when applying faith in Jesus Christ to their work, business, and money management practices. Everyone should be talking and living by faith, no matter what their business, employment position, or calling because it is the will of God that we produce godly works and avoid ungodly works (even the very appearance of evil). Only then will your work glorify God with fruit that remains as a beacon for others to see and engage relationship with the one and only Savior and LORD, Jesus Christ.
Please pray for this ministry and email any questions. May God bless you richly as you follow His plan!!!
