Why God Wants You to Start a Business in 2024 [Video]

Are you feeling stuck in your current job? Do you sense that there’s more to your purpose than what you’re currently living out? Have you ever wondered if God has a plan for you that involves entrepreneurship? If these questions resonate with you, then this video is for you!

In today’s powerful session, we delve into the Biblical foundations that show why God wants you to start a business. We will explore 2 Kings 4, where we see the story of the widow and the miraculous provision through her oil business. This isn’t just a story of ancient times; it’s a divine principle that applies to our lives today.

Scriptural Foundations
The Bible is rich with passages that encourage us to take initiative, create, and multiply. From the parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-30) to the entrepreneurial example of the Proverbs 31 woman, scripture is filled with insights on why starting a business aligns with God’s plans for us.

2 Kings 4: The Widow’s Oil
2 Kings 4 tells the story of a widow in desperate need, who approached the prophet Elisha for help. Elisha’s instructions to collect jars and fill them with oil led to a miraculous provision that not only paid off her debts but also provided for her family’s future. This narrative shows us several key principles:

Faith and Obedience: The widow had to step out in faith and follow Elisha’s instructions even when it didn’t make sense.
Resourcefulness: She used what she had – a small jar of oil – to create something of value.
Divine Multiplication: God blessed her efforts, multiplying her resources in ways she could never have imagined.
Why Entrepreneurship?
Starting a business isn’t just about making money; it’s about fulfilling a calling. Here are some compelling reasons why you should consider entrepreneurship:

Impact: Businesses have the power to impact communities positively by creating jobs, providing services, and contributing to the economy.
Freedom: Entrepreneurship offers the flexibility to align your work with your values and priorities.
Stewardship: As stewards of God’s resources, we are called to multiply what we’ve been given and use it for His glory.

Wealth Creation: A significant percentage of high-net-worth individuals built their wealth through business ventures.
Job Creation: Small businesses are the backbone of the economy, creating the majority of new jobs.
Innovation: Entrepreneurs drive innovation, bringing new ideas and solutions to the market.
Practical Steps to Get Started
Starting a business might seem daunting, but with the right mindset and tools, you can succeed. Here are five simple steps to set you on the path to unstoppable growth:

Identify Your Passion and Skills: What are you passionate about? What skills do you have that can be turned into a business? Finding the intersection of these two can help you choose a business idea that you will enjoy and excel in.

Research and Plan: Conduct thorough research to understand your market, competition, and potential customers. Create a business plan that outlines your goals, strategies, and financial projections.

Start Small: You don’t need to have everything figured out from the beginning. Start small and scale as you grow. This allows you to test your ideas and make adjustments without significant risk.

Build Your Network: Surround yourself with like-minded individuals who can offer support, advice, and opportunities. Networking is crucial for gaining insights, finding partners, and growing your business.

Stay Persistent: Entrepreneurship is a journey filled with ups and downs. Stay persistent, keep learning, and be adaptable to change. Your resilience will be a key factor in your success.
