Ten Qualities of a Kingdom Business OwnerSample

Quality #7

Have faith to stand.

There’s a lot of discussion about faith in our world today. What exactly is faith? Where does it come from? How do you grow it? How does it apply to everyday life and business? In the Scriptures I’ve included above, we find the secret to this sometimes abstract thing we call faith. We know it is vital in our walk with Christ, and a must in our business if we want to be a kingdom business owner. 

My simple definition of faith is hearing God. If faith comes by hearing, and it does, then the challenge becomes finding the opportunity to sit in silence long enough to receive and hear His whispers. His still small voice is virtually impossible to hear, if there are any competing noise around or within us. The assurances we must have come from our Father above. Jesus said He only does what He has seen His Father doing. He saw those things in prayer early in the morning. My Father doesn’t lie to me and only speaks the truth. 

Anything I hear from the Holy Spirit is always in complete harmony with His written word. If assurance is what you need to activate your faith, listen to the whispers of God and you will have it. Taking action before hearing God is like driving your car blindfolded. You really don’t want to attempt that. Taking action after hearing God is like taking a walk in the park, even though circumstances haven’t changed at all. But now we KNOW because He has spoken, and He doesn’t lie! Listen to His whispers and then act courageously and with great assurance!
