Good Ideas Vs. God Ideas In BusinessSample
Discerning God Ideas
God ideas can be revealed through prayer, silence, and even in worship. The most important thing you can do is spend time developing a closer relationship with God. He gives you wisdom generously when you ask for it and if you trust and submit to Him, He will direct your path.
God doesn’t always do things the way we anticipate. Even when you’re not thinking about your business, He’ll drop an idea, strategy, or solution to a problem in your spirit. Invite Him into all matters of life and all decisions that you’re faced with for the day. Thank Him in advance for going ahead and making provision for you. Ask Him to speak to you expressly through the Holy Spirit during the day.
The more you do this, the more sensitive you will be to God’s leading. You’ll get those gentle (and sometimes not so gentle) nudges that are often called “gut feelings” that tell you when you’re about to make a wrong decision, or encourage you when we’re heading in the right direction.
It’s useful to journal your ideas because as an entrepreneur you will have several of them. Sometimes you’ll have a good idea, and it’s God’s plan, but it’s for another time. Other ideas may not even be for you, but will be for someone else you encounter. Other ideas may turn out to be good ideas that are never pursued. The key is to track the ideas and write them down, taking action in faith on the ideas you feel led to pursue.
When God speaks, there will be evidence in His Word to back it up often accompanied by plenty of “coincidences” that are anything but coincidental. While your friends and family may not get it, you’ll be able to stand in confidence knowing it’s a God idea.
