If like me, you have pretty much tried everything you can think of, there comes a time when doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result really is the definition of insanity (like Einstein was supposed to have said.)  

James 1:4-6; If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you.  He will not rebuke you for asking

Here is my selection of Proverbs for Business...

The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 8:9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.

This statement is not referring to Jesus being poor.  In fact, he was a craftsman and small businessman before he started His Ministry.  Jesus became poor and took on the curse of poverty when He was crucified on the cross, so that we might become rich both financially and spiritually.  In 2 Corinthians 9:8 it says And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.

You know the score; someone says something and another gets upset, a deal you've been waiting for goes to a competitor, staff don't do as they're told or there's a problem with the building, sometimes everything seems to be against you for no apparent reason.

In a nutshell, it's not supposed to be this way and, wait for it!!! we're 100% responsible to effect a change. If we wait for God to act, we'll be waiting a long time!

My experience to date has been nothing short of total disbelief. How can the church say it supports it's congregations when they won't or can't minister to business people? or have they chased them all away?

Is it because life is simpler if the status quo is maintained (i.e. the pseudo poverty mentality of the organised church) and business people can just pick up their faith like anyone else.

Having been self employed since 1987, I can definitely say that I have chased money.  But I thought that's what everyone did, don't they?

The Devil wants us living in poverty and hankering after money! God wants us rich and living in abundance and hankering after Him.  Or put it another way, Satan wants us dead and God wants us for eternity, so what will you choose?
