Most financial plans are based on what happened in the past. For a financial disciple, a strategic financial plan should be made based on God’s vision for the business! This is faith planning! God will make His desires for His company known to those who genuinely seek him. A faith-based plan is made on the basis of God’s revelation, with the consultation of advisors. Without faith, we cannot please God! (Hebrews 11:6) Through this planning process, the entrepreneur, through prayer, seeks the Lord’s revelation, and godly advice, and makes plans which reflect God’s vision for the business.
A financial plan is a description of the financial implementation of God’s vision and His goals for the business. Amos advises that God wants to make his plans known and reveals them to those who seek him in prayer. (Amos 3:7) Develop a faith-based plan by taking time to discover His will! Receiving advice is an essential aid in evaluating plans and making sure they are healthy! With many advisors, your plans will succeed.
In our business, delivering special services to human spaceflight activities working on the International Space Station, we had developed a successful niche which we could easily manage. During our weekly two-hour business prayer time, we felt the Lord wanted us to spread our activities to reduce the risk of being too specialized. However, we did not know what to do. The Lord showed us, through some advisors, that the area of satellites was expanding quickly but we had no expertise in that area. However, we made a faith financial plan to help us to invest in hiring engineers with the right experience and plan for this expansion. They helped us to get contracts to support Galileo, the European GPS program – a network of 31 satellites. This was a lifesaver because, soon after, the Space Shuttle had to be taken out of service, which seriously curtailed our basic activities.
Question for the day:
Can you take time to be still before the Lord and ask Him to reveal the direction in which He wants His business to grow? He will show you!
關於此計劃
Discipleship in business means learning how to apply Biblical principles to everyday decisions. Financial discipleship is important because Jesus said, “You cannot serve both God and Money.” (Matthew 6:24) Money is a major competitor for our devotion. Financial discipleship is learning to serve God and use business finances for His purposes. This reading plan will help you discern God’s ways in handling money in your business.
