Marketing With A Message on Monday
December 11 @ 9:00 am – 10:00 am
Matthew 24:14 states, “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” While this verse does not specifically address how to bring God’s will to pass in your business, it does highlight the importance of spreading the message of God’s kingdom. To align your business with God’s will, it is essential to integrate biblical principles into your practices.
Here are some principles to consider:
1. Honesty and Integrity: Conduct your business affairs with honesty and integrity, treating others fairly and justly. Proverbs 11:3 states, “The integrity of the upright guides them.”
2. Servant Leadership: Lead with a servant’s heart, considering the needs of others above your own. Matthew 20:26-28 reminds us, “Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant.”
3. Ethical Practices: Ensure that your business operates ethically, refusing to engage in dishonest or exploitative practices. Proverbs 16:11 encourages, “Honest scales and balances belong to the Lord.”
4. Stewardship: Recognize that your business and its resources are gifts from God. Therefore, manage them responsibly and consider how your actions impact others and the environment. 1 Peter 4:10 advises, “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others.”
5. Love and Compassion: Show love and compassion to your employees, customers, and stakeholders. Galatians 5:13 reminds us, “Serve one another humbly in love.”
6. Prayer and Seeking God’s Guidance: Seek God’s guidance through prayer and meditation, asking for wisdom in decision-making and direction for your business. Proverbs 3:6 encourages, “In all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
By incorporating these principles and seeking to bring glory to God through your business, you can align your efforts with God’s will and contribute to the advancement of His Kingdom. Remember, it is not only about spreading the gospel with words but also through your actions and the way you conduct your business affairs.
