I am pleased to have you take the wise decision to start your business with God. Matt. 6:33 beckons on us to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and that all things shall be added unto us including business breakthrough, prosperity, protection, wisdom and divine guidance. A business adventure not established in the foundation of God’s truth is bound to collapse.
Business is any adventure established to bring in profit. If it is not generating profit, it is in danger.
Having enough money to invest in a business is not a guarantee it will be successful, having too many connections and friends does not make a business prosper. Business prosperity is not only in having much money, many friends, enough skills and experience, but how well you market can market business. Psalm 127:1 (NCV) tells us that If the LORD doesn’t build the house, the builders are working for nothing. If the LORD doesn’t guard the city, the guards are watching for nothing. It is no use for you to get up early and stay up late, working for a living. The LORD gives sleep to those he loves.
The key to a successful business is established first in the altar of prayers for divine guidance, wisdom, divine favour, protection and preservation.
When God is the one in charge of your business, all the good things will be seen manifested in the light of the day.
Are you ready to start a business? Beloved read the verses below for God’s hand to come to uphold your business.
Pray this short prayer before you start reading the verses.
I see God turning things for your good.
Confession
Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank you for all the privileges I am enjoying from your grace. I acknowledge your divine presence in my life, career, and business. Thank you for the divine wisdom to commit my business to your hands.
Lord, I come before You today with a humble heart, acknowledging my sins and shortcomings. I confess that I have fallen short of Your glory in my thoughts, words, and deeds. I have not always loved You with all my heart, nor have I loved others as You have commanded me to.
I ask for Your forgiveness and mercy, Lord. Cleanse me from all unrighteousness and purify my heart. I repent of the sins I have committed knowingly and unknowingly. Please forgive me for the times I have walked in disobedience, pride, and selfishness.
Thank You, Lord, for the sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus Christ, whose blood was shed for the forgiveness of my sins. I believe that through Him, I am made clean and righteous in Your sight.
I pray that You would strengthen me to turn away from sin and live a life that is pleasing to You. Help me to walk in Your ways and to seek Your will in all that I do. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit, that I may be guided by Your wisdom, love, and truth.
Thank You, Lord, for Your endless grace and for hearing my prayer. I trust in Your promises and rely on Your mercy.
In Jesus’ name, I pray,
Amen.
