Lead With Purpose: Kingdom Principles for EntrepreneursSample

Embracing God's Way in Business

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV)

In today's fast-paced and competitive world, it's easy for business leaders to feel pressured to follow certain trends or methods perceived as the "right way" to achieve success. As kingdom business leaders, we are called to a higher standard—a standard that aligns with God's vision and purpose for our lives and businesses.

Don’t let the world make you feel like you are not growing your business ‘the right way’. It has to be right for YOU! This reminds us that our identity and way of conducting business do not need to mirror the world's definitions and expectations. Instead, the right way for us is uniquely designed by God, taking into account our personal calling, values, and the purposes He has set for us.

God’s wisdom is what guides us to grow authentically and sustainably. When we lean not on our own understanding but fully trust His plans, we create an environment where His grace and favor flourish in our work. This means setting our goals and strategies not just based on market trends or competition but aligning them with biblical principles and God's guidance.

Today, take a moment to realign your business strategies with God’s will for your life:

1. Seek God in Prayer: Begin your day by asking for His guidance in every decision you have to make. Ask Him to reveal areas in your business that need adjustment to align better with His way.

2. Reflect on Your Identity: Remember that your identity is not in comparison to others but is rooted in Christ. This gives you the freedom to follow the path He has uniquely set for you.

3. Commit to Integrity: Build your business foundation on honesty and integrity. Trust God for business growth and development that honors Him and His kingdom.

4. Embrace Your Unique Journey: Trust that where you are right now is part of God’s plan. Embrace your unique journey without being swayed by external pressures.

Lord, thank You for the unique vision You have placed in my heart for my business. Help me to stay committed to Your ways and resist the pressures to conform to the world's standard. Guide me in making decisions that honor You and reflect Your kingdom values. I trust You to lead me on the right path for my business and life. In Jesus name, Amen.
