God in Business

God is the ultimate Entrepreneur! God is a businessman, who makes more out of less through a process of exchange and participation. His miracles are imbued with business implications and his parables give wisdom on achieving more than we started with. From turning water to wine at Canaan, to feeding the 5000 plus with two fishes and five loaves, to healing the sick, to showing Peter how to catch (or cash) more fish in his business, the list is near endless. God is a businessman with massive results of success in profit maximisation with faith being the medium of exchange. God desires that His will be done on earth as it is in heaven and he desires to partner with us in achieving this. God created work and by extension, business as the avenue and vehicle in which God would speak with man, relate to man and work with man. It is God's primary means (not the only) of bringing His Kingdom into a divine association with the world. It's interesting to note that God created Work before Family or even the Church. He first gave Adam a lifetime purpose (to work the Garden of Eden and take care of creation) and then later a specific task that contributes to that purpose (naming the Animals). Then within the context of that job and the business environment, God worked with Adam, spoke to him (sometimes walked with him in the cool of the day) and related with him one on one. Similarly, God still desires to partner with businesses and business owners today in a way that allows the presence, proximity and hand of God to cause multiplication such that we can feed, heal and impact the multitude and the world. Our business may not be much, or we may even consider ourselves as underdogs in business, but little becomes much when we allow God to get involved. When you allow God in your business, not as a side kick or as an afterthought but "IN" your business, as your partner, at your board meetings, in your decisions, you can expect the extra-ordinary and the miraculous. This book will show you what God's original intent for business is and why he is more interested in business and in your business as a channel of transformation and fulfilling the great commission than you may have ever imagined. As you read this book, I encourage you to read it with an open mind and prepare to have your preconceived notions challenged about such matters as money, wealth and God's disposition to business, money and wealth. Stay awake in your spirit as you read, so you can stay aware. Let the Truth of God's word set you free once and for all, so you can be financially fruitful and make more impact in fulfilling the great commission. May you gain new insights and an awakening into how you see business and your role in it. Understanding and applying the principles revealed in this book will no doubt empower you to achieve massive success in business and financial confidence.
