Here are 5 freeing truths you’ve gotta realise if you want to build Kingdom wealth.
Absolutely not! I’m a big believer that God has given us as His children the purpose to advance His Kingdom and to steward what He has given us. Tracing it all back to the Garden of Eden, the purpose God gave Adam was to name all the animals and plants and have dominion over His creation, and to be fruitful and multiply. The Bible also teaches us in Deuteronomy 8:18, "But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today." Jesus talks about the parable of the talents, and teaches us the value of sowing and investing and multiplying in His Kingdom. Building wealth is not evil if the roots are God- He gets all the glory, the purpose is His and the process are His ways.
People will not only not like you, they will probably hate you too. Too harsh? We weren't called to be liked and loved by the world, Jesus said that.
The old case of #impostersyndrome. It’s a sneaky little thing that creeps in when we’re about to do something that actually matters. Not just that, that's the fear of man- you choose to please people and care about what they think rather than the fear of the Lord- caring to obey what He's called you to do. #perspective. Plus, if God’s called you to it, does it really matter what anyone else says anyway?
I hear you girl, because I’ve been there too. I used to think that I could DIY my way to a profitable business and building wealth. We probably can to be honest, because isn't that what non-believers all around the world do? That's pride, believing I can do it on my own. Doing that left me feeling lost and anxious. We were not meant to do this alone! Investing in coaches helped me get to where I'm supposed to go with such ease #multiplication
God designed community and relationships. Don't choose to do it by yourself, find a coach and a mentor! — and I want that for you too.
Listen, starting a business requires investment. Starting anything requires an investment of some sort and almost always with finances. The thing you need to understand is sowing in God's Kingdom business is worth it. You can't harvest anything if you haven't sowed anything!
Business doesn’t always have to cost you a lot of money to get off the ground, but you need to strategize with God and follow His lead. The question now is-- How will you choose to sow the gifts you've received? You get to choose.
Myth #1:
WEALTH IS UNGODLY AND EVIL
Myth #2:
People won’t like me if I put myself out there
Myth #4:
I’ll waste money if I start a business
Myth #3:
I don’t need a coach/mentor
Myth #5:
there will always be next time
Ugh, do you believe this lie? I used to! I kept telling myself, "it's okay, God's gracious and patient..." I need to take my time, and start when I'm ready.
It's true! God is so patient and kind, but the reality of accepting my own excuses is disobedience and delay. Sometimes delay can be brought by the enemy, but other times, it's us! We delay God's breakthrough and move in our lives. Hear that? We caused the delay!
Sometimes, it's not God's timing yet. You need to be able to discern that.
Jesus didn't say, "Come follow me whenever you're ready". He gave the invitation and they had to choose then and there.
