Proverbs 11:24-26 (TPT) says, “24 Generosity brings prosperity,
but withholding from charity brings poverty.
25 Those who live to bless others
will have blessings heaped upon them,
and the one who pours out his life to pour out blessings
will be saturated with favor.
26 People will curse the businessman with no ethics,
but the one with a social conscience receives praise from all.”

 

The keys to prosperity and becoming successful businessman are generosity, living to bless others, pouring out your life to pour out blessings (which could include giving advice and wisdom to other young entrepreneurs, making kingdom investments and working to bless others), maintaining Christian ethics in business, and having a social conscience. A social conscience influences and impacts a great number of people, earning their respect. This involves being sensitive to the needs of the people surrounding us and discerning to the times and seasons we live. Just as Joseph, we are enabled to prepare for times and provide not only for us but others also! This is how we overthrow the giant of poverty.

 

Once it is overthrown, then we must disciple and train people’s minds to work for the living that they want, that they cannot go through the rest of their lives expecting to always be handing everything. Grace is free, but paying bills is not! You have to take care of your family, and depending on a system is a wasted life. Being the example in showing people great work ethics and then putting them in positions to success and laying out a plan for success are the keys to opening a greater financial stream of blessing!
