The Journey Of A Generous Business LeaderНамуна
The Journey of a Generous Business Leader - Part V
In this series, we’re discussing the five phases of becoming generous. The final phase is the “Generous” giver.
Stanley Tam, author of “God Owns My Business,” was a struggling business owner during the Great Depression. During one crisis, Stanley asked God to be his business partner.
Stanley gave 51% of his business to God! Later, God asked him for the other 49%!
Stanley’s act of obedience provided him a modest paycheck, but tremendous joy as 100% of the company profits funded over $140 million of evangelistic efforts.
2 Corinthians 9:6 teaches, “Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.”
The generous giver gives far beyond percentages of income. This group of people sow obediently and generously, knowing God owns everything.

About this Plan
Many generous business leaders become generous in phases. From reluctantly dropping money in a collection plate on Sunday morning, to recognizing God owns it all anyway so why limit your giving to a percentage of your income. Learning to give generously and cheerfully requires time, patience and willingness.
