Christianity .....in Business.

Why does it seem that those involved in Christian related business find the 'way' so hard? 

"I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33

It seems as though it is harder for those who are committed Christians in business..... !
If you were not a Christian and sought to do a similar business without regard to maintaining a biblical philosophy, the way would be much smoother sailing. 
It makes us think of the prophet who asked....
 "Why do the wicked prosper?" (Jer. 12:1)


It is a spiritual principle of which we speak. 
When the Israelites crossed the Jordan before they entered the Promised Land, they fought only two battles. 
Then after they entered the Promised Land, they fought 39 battles. 
The way of the cross is NOT paved with lilies; it is paved with grace. 
When we seek to honor God in our business life, we will be met with opposition from the spiritual forces of this world. 
This is why each of us must commit ourselves to walking in the power of the Holy Spirit and to be as gentle as doves but as wise as serpents.
Do not be surprised when you find the way harder as a believer than when you were a non-believer. 
You now have more at stake among the spiritual forces that desire you to be defeated and ineffective.
Stand firm against the evil forces that desire to keep you from walking in freedom in the Promised Land. 
Jesus is your victory for every battle you will encounter. 
Call on His Name !

"You have storms ahead but remember during the storms that I will be with you. 

I am the master of the storms and I am sending you into them, have no fear for I am with you."

You have storms ahead but always remember those words spoken in the midst of the storm. "I am the master of the storms, have no fear for I am with you." 
......said the Lord !


Shalom
