Christian Success Principles & Home Based Mentoring Part ~ 4
The Christian in the Home Based Business has been called into their business. Your calling in your life and your ability to recognize the Lords calling will control the your success and the way you perceive it. Why is it that some are blessed with abundance and others are not? When I look at Gods Word there are those that are blessed to be givers and others to be blessed as receivers.
Here is a truth that must be understood, the calling is not money nor is the calling having money. Your response to Christian home business success will define if you are within the Lords will or not. Your ability to create the wealth is not as important as what the Lord calls you to do with your success. Some are called to abundance to support ministries that are working for the Lord and those involved in the ministry are called to be receivers of that support.
There are plenty of warnings in the Bible about financial abundance. Success in your home business does not mean that you count that blessing as the ability to spoil yourself with all the luxury of the world. Financial abundance that is not directed to the call that the Lord has for your life is a trap that we as Believers must be on guard for. Paul warned about this.
1 Timothy 6:17-19 "Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share, storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life."
Our Christian Home Based Business can provide us with much blessing and according to the word we who have been "called" to financial abundance are to use this abundance not to lift ourselves but to honor and Glorify the Lord in our business, in our works and in our giving. We are to hold tight to our blessings and use them in accordance to the biblical principles that will continue to bless others for generations to come.
