Christian Success and Christian Home Business Part 1
Christians at times struggle with the ideal of success and business. The main thing that you must look at as you grow your Christian Home Business is, who gets the Glory? Do you take pride in your success or do you praise God for giving you the ability and resources to achieve success?
Christian Home Business people have to approach their business with the idea and understanding that the business they are involved with truly belongs to God and not that of themselves. Many get entrapped into the motivational personal development of these industries and are prone to pride and self exultation. My warning is approach your Christian Home Business with the correct heart understanding that this too really belongs to God.
Luke 2:49 Jesus said, "Why were you searching for Me? Didn't you know that I must be about my Fathers business?" We as well are called into our Chrisitan Home Business and are to be about Our Fathers business. Believers in Christ must remember that we are to use our businesses as well as our lives to Glorify God as we go about the Fathers business.
Your Christian Business is a chance for your to be a light in the world as you serve others and do business. Success in your life is given by the Lord, it is of Him and through Him that you will achieve success. Matthew 5:16 says, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and Glorify your Father in Heaven." What a great principle to take into the world as you go about building your Christian Business.
Property and material ownership was ordained by God to give us stewardship and responsibility. As you build your Christian home business examine your heart to be sure that your desires in accordance with Gods Word. Things of this world are not bad, they become bad when we put those material things above the Lord.
