𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝,

How has your life, work, business, family, or finances profited the one who gave them to you? Is He happy with what they are turning out to be in your hands?

There is a way a man must take that will guarantee a profitable living. One of the secrets of being profitable is being intentional. Intentional about what you do with what you have been given, who you connect with, and where you go. 

𝑰𝒇 𝒘𝒆 𝒎𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒆𝒏𝒋𝒐𝒚 𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆 𝒐𝒏 𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒉, 𝒘𝒆 𝒎𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒏 𝒕𝒐 𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒇𝒊𝒕 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒘𝒆 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 - 𝒏𝒐 𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆.

Let's see life from this perspective; we are only stewards of everything we have, we don't own any of what we have. So think of everything you have today and start seeing yourself as the steward and not the owner (including the life you have).

𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒇𝒊𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑳𝒐𝒔𝒔 𝒎𝒂𝒓𝒈𝒊𝒏 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒃𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒅.

Profit is a common language for business people. No businessman is interested in any business that would not bring profit. See yourself as a business person, every time you engaged with the world there is a transaction taking place.

Immediately a business person finds out they are going to lose from a transaction, they back off. The lesson here is; don't be more interested in transacting than in profiting. If you must engage with the world be sure not to conform. Do not give in, but make sure every opportunity of transaction profits God's kingdom.

𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐭.

Several times in the Bible Jesus likened Himself to a businessman and an investor. God cannot lose, so for everything he has invested in us, He trusts us to profit and not to lose.

So how has your job profited God?

How has your marriage profited His kingdom?

How has your money, life, car, phone, cloth, business, or education profited God?

 𝑮𝒐𝒅 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒔 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒖𝒔, 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝑯𝒊𝒔 𝒆𝒚𝒆𝒔 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒇𝒊𝒕 𝑯𝒊𝒔 𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒅𝒐𝒎.

For example, if your business, marriage, or life becomes a platform for the advancement of His kingdom, what God would do for them because it profits His kingdom, eyes have not seen.

𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑮𝒐𝒅 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝒕𝒐 𝒖𝒔 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒂𝒑𝒂𝒄𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒇𝒊𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝑯𝒊𝒔 𝑲𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒅𝒐𝒎 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒖𝒍𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒍𝒚 𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝑮𝒐𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒖𝒔 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆.

In my letter to you on Thursday, I will be letting you know how you can become a profitable steward.

Today, first decide in your heart not to bring loss but profit to God's kingdom.

To be continued...
