Is it right for Christians to do business?

For a number of years I had this notion that doing business is contrary to Christianity. However looking or searching the scriptures deeper, I discovered very interesting findings.

Let's look at what Solomon, the richest man who ever lived, had to say in the Old Testament writings. "He who has a slack hand becomes poor, But the hand of the diligent makes rich" Proverbs 10:4, NKJV

Another passage from the same book of Proverbs reads, "The soul of a lazy man desires and has nothing, But the soul of the diligent shall be made rich" Proverbs 13:4, NKJV

Hard work is a good thing. No one can really know satisfaction in life without it. As I was growing up, I also learned poverty mentality from my parents, the teachers, to some extent the preachers as well. I grew up working hard to have just enough to get by and die with nearly nothing.

On the other hand, poverty is not a condition of being without money. It is a belief of the heart. Until we change and think differently, we will continue to be poor and live in lack.

Now there are different ways of making a living. I will only mention two here for now. First is offer your services to the employer and be called and employee, and have a J.O.B. Second is working for yourself and set your own paycheck. The latter comes with hard work and a lot of us dread this and instead opt for an easy route of J.O.B

What led me to blogging is a passion to finding as many people as possible who are prepared to change the way they are thinking and do something different pertaining to their financial positions and earn extra income to substitute their present incomes.

I've discovered a tried and tested low income investments that any mental capable being can start and develop. Wait for the next blog to find out more.
