How to Keep God First in your business....

HERE ARE THREE STEPS TO KEEP GOD FIRST IN YOUR BUSINESS AND STILL MAKE MONEY.

Philippians 4:13 says and God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory By Christ Jesus meaning God will supply all your clients and the finances that you need. Yes we worship the God that gives us the money.

If you are a Christian entrepreneur for even if you’re not an entrepreneur). I’m sure that you come face to face with hustle culture and this ultimate striving mentality, which is this urge to constantly do more and be more I’m the first to tell you that it’s a good thing to want to better yourself, and learn from your past mistakes, but a big problem comes in when we become so consumed with success and the goals that we are idolizing and worshiping.. this concept of becoming “better” and so we can be the “best version of ourselves.”

While I’m an advocate for learning and growing, the selfdevelopment world can actually become a trap. Because the truth is, if you’re not careful, we can unknowingly begin to worship doing more, which leads to ultimately worshiping ourselves, as opposed to worshiping the one true God.

THIS IS A VERY TOPIC DEAR TO MY HEART BECAUSE I EXPERIENCED THIS FIRST HAND.

Looking back, I had no idea I was seeking validation from the world. And I definitely didn’t think I was trying to seek glory from my own works, so of course I had no idea I made myself an idol.

But like I said, there is absolutely nothing wrong from learning from our mistakes and making better choices, but it’s when we convince ourselves that we are the answer, and that we are the key to change, abundance, happiness, or freedom…

That is when we begin idolizing ourselves. Because WE are not the answer….Yahweh is.

And we have to constantly choose to look at HIM, because the world truly makes it so easy to look at our.

LET’S DIVE IN….

Have you ever considered if you are worshiping Yahweh or success? This is so juicy because I share a bit of my story about how I was unknowingly worshiping success, how I navigated that, and ultimately 3 steps that you can implement today that will help you keep your eyes focused on Yahweh and step away from idolizing the things in the world.

My first few years of entrepreneurship I was so obsessed with hitting my goals. There is nothing wrong with having intentions in your business because businesses need those, but your goals should focus on doing as opposed to being.

I haven’t set goals in my business in months because I have always had a tendency to focus on what I’m doing or not doing. I’ll probably record an episode regarding goal setting versus intention setting and how that developed but in the meantime, there is a book I want to recommend that actually mentions this concept. It’s not what the entire book is about, but there is a section in this book that talks about not setting goals and what to do instead. The book is called to hell with the hustle by Jefferson Bethke.

I was so obsessed with hitting my goals that I truly felt like I was working 24/7. The reason is because I was obsessed with my business.

When you dig deeper and discover the root of wanting to make more money, and wanting to be validated- it all comes back to pride.

This thing is pride doesn’t always look like being narcissistic, having a huge ego or arrogance that deter people away from you. Worshiping and idolizing ourselves doesn’t necessarily look like we’re praying and worshiping ourselves. It can look like having so much pride that we become so driven by our fleshy wants and desires that we unknowingly put ourselves and wants above God and His wants and desires for us.

We are called to be in this world but not of it. We aresupposed to be walking in the spirit not in the flesh meaning let the lord guide you in all that you do.

STEP ONE IS TO REPENT

It’s so important to totally purge ourselves of our sins and transgressions every day. You cannot produce fruits of the spirit if you are holding on to sin. The truth is that we all fall into sin every day.

Circumstances can happen daily that can tempt us to fall back into it and the world can suck us in so fast. One minute your eyes are totally on the lord, and then the next the world sucks you back in and you didn’t even realize it. That being said, it’s also important to keep in mind that this is a Onion Layering process. This means that as we are growing and evolving with the Lord we will continue to be sanctified.

There are multiple layers to the flesh, fuelled feelings, and thoughts. Think of it like an onion. For example, you may find for a while that you have remained steadfast in your faith and don’t really have doubts any more, but an entirely new circumstance or scenario happens and that triggers you again. This may not be happening because you have failed. This may be happening because you’re progressing andyou’re ready to peel back the next layer just like you would an onion. This is Morgantown to remember that this is something to address daily and you may have to address the same temptations and sin several times. But please beautiful don’t hold onto shame and guilt as you surrender the sins.

This is so crucial to humble yourself before God and repent before moving forward. This is where you may just fall on your knees and cry out to Him for forgiveness. This is where you apologize and open your heart to Him because you want to please Him.

STEP TWO SEEK THE LORD DAILY

Praise Him. Humble yourself and go to Him with a pure heart, delighting and being in awe of Him and His love. It is so important to take your eyes of yourself and put your eyes on Yahweh and go to him in adoration. Praise can consist of worshiping, listening to worship music and showcasing gratitude and thanksgiving.

Presence is all about being still and meditating on Him and His word. When was the last time that you stopped and stilled your voice and thoughts and just listened to Him Study His word it is the only offensive weapon against the enemy, along with prayer. Without it, we cannot fight our spiritual battles. Not only does the word aid us in battle, but it prepares us for the Holy Spirit to reveal things to us.

It is also so important to proclaim His word, promises, and prophecy over your life. Proclaiming is declaring God’s world plan for your life. God used His breath and voice to create the world. It’s the same concept for us. Pray. There are so many reasons to pray, but it ultimately builds a relationship between you and God Yahweh and the Holy Spirit. Now keep in mind that Yahweh does teach His deciles how to pray in Matthew 6:9-13 which is the Lord’s Prayer. It is also crucial to pray for others.

STEP THREE

is to take captive every thought that exalts us in the knowledge of God.

The thing is that the enemy uses our thoughts against us. He  is constantly twisting the truth. And he wants us to believe the thoughts we have about ourselves are real.

Thoughts like, “I must hit the next ranking my networkmarketing team to be worthy and validated,” or “I must hit a six figure business to keep up and be an expert in the industry.”

The enemy is so sneaky like that.

Our thoughts do control our actions. If we actually start believing those lies, we can easily become consumed by them, which can then lead us to take action on those beliefs, which then leads to looking away from God and focusing on ourselves..

• Replace them with what Yahweh says.• Replace them with what He says about you with what he says about the world.
