To retain your God-given vision while pursuing business and ministry opportunities, you should constantly declare that you are becoming more and more Christ-like while pursuing dreams and goals that are in accordance with His will for you. Ask Him for knowledge and discipline to successfully employ your gifts, skills, and calling to produce money and resources that enable you to serve many people while becoming a more faithful giver to gospel ministry locally and abroad.
Pray that God will rain down enormous revenues for people who help you prosper and for those who support gospel preaching, holy living, and fruitful works within their spheres of influence. Follow His direction for being a godly example to other people, one who is not ashamed to use any and every platform available to lift up the name of Jesus. As you hear and read stories about people leaving employers, starting businesses, and making million dollar incomes, remember that His purpose for allowing you to prosper is more important than the expensive homes, fancy cars, and earthly toys other people believe will bring them satisfaction. It is more important than notoriety, fame, and power.
The most important purpose is loving God and loving people according to His standards so much that intimacy with Him is of utmost importance to you as is serving people the gospel and making disciples of them. This should become the priority pursuit of your faith, so you are able to complete the work He gave you to do. As you prosper, more expensive trappings are possible without the hindrance of debt, without destroying your marriage, without forsaking weekly fellowship with the Church, and without engaging in the world’s ungodly practices to get them. If not obtained or pursued in a wholesome, Christ-like manner any trappings (expensive or not), will not please the LORD, the pursuit of them will get you off track with regard to the destiny at which He desires you be aimed, and they are meaningless with no value in the scheme of eternity.
Please pray for this ministry and email any questions. May God bless you richly as you follow His plan!
