The Bible is full of advice on how to handle money. Every business owner can (and should) build their business on these essential principles straight from the Word of God. As you read through these Bible verses and associated principles, ask yourself where you see room for improvement in your own business dealings.

If you are a christian and you feel called to start a business, I encourage you to begin your research from the bible. If this is your calling then it\’s your life\’s purpose. So how you get started matters. You must build on a solid foundation. God\’s word is the rock and will be the anchor for your business.

The bible is awash with good stuff you need to be a successful business person. From the outset understand that God has created you with unlimited potential. Just think, you have the mind of Christ! Yes you do have that mind my friend. So you have a powerful resource right inside of you.

Let\’s get started:

1. Humility: if you are going to get far in your business you had better embrace humility. If not my friend you will struggle retaining clientele. After all isn\’t business about cultivating relationships? Check out this scripture here: \”Too much pride will destroy you\”. (Proverbs 16:18 CEV)
2. Boldness: Now who says that because you are humble you must be timid. No! Humility is not a weakness. Within that humility is the power for boldness. You will need it in business to deal with situations. It\’s a courage that tells your customers and suppliers and others around your business that you understand who you are. It\’s a character that will manifest to your audience and show that you know where you are headed. This is how those interacting with your business will see the spirit behind you, the Holy Spirit. After all he is the one directing your affairs right? \”God didn\’t give us a cowardly spirit but a spirit of power, love, and good judgment\”.(2 Timothy 1:7 GW)
3. Diligence: This is about perseverance. And I am referring to persevering determination to perform. You cannot afford to slacken. Everything is dependent upon you soldiering ahead. Just think. You are a child of God. You carry the God brand inside of you. Do you recall earlier I said you have the mind of Christ? Yes then go for it. Nothing will stop you. \”Being lazy will make you poor, but hard work will make you rich\”.  (Proverbs 10:4 GNB)
4. Honesty: This one is key. No shortcuts and no cheating please. In your everyday business dealings or transactions, you will meet with temptations. Remember your focus must be to do everything as you would unto the Lord. Never bring shame to the name of the Lord. So, here\’s a timely warning for you. \”But people who want to get rich keep falling into temptation. They are trapped by many stupid and harmful desires which drown them in destruction and ruin\”. (1 Timothy 6:9 GW)
5. Patience: Have you heard of that worldly saying, \”Rome was not built in a day?\” Well it does apply even here. Check point 4 above. I said no shortcuts! Take it easy. If you maintain your focus on the leading of the Holy Spirit, you will make tremendous progress and success in your business. Just be patient. In Africa we have a proverb which says, \’little by little an egg will walk\’. Yes for sure my friend when that hen lays that egg, it looks forward to bringing up a chick. assuming you don\’t take that egg for your breakfast. \”Wealth quickly got will become less; but he who gets a store by the work of his hands will have it increased\”.  (Proverbs 13:11 BBE)

Here is a bonus basic principle.

Remember the Lord your God.

But remember the LORD your God is the one who makes you wealthy. 
He\'s confirming the promise which he swore to your ancestors. 
It\'s still in effect today.  (Deuteronomy 8:18 GW)

So there you have it. The bonus business basic is about you recognizing and acknowledging that with God on your side you can make big plans. You can actually think big. So you want to enjoy great success make God your business partner.

The final business principle I want to leave with you is that you must remember to tithe on your business earnings. Remember that the tenth belongs to God. Only the 10% and He is content with it when you obediently continue on this path.

Because you are being faithful in all your business life, God will create a giant of your business to be a blessing to many others as the Lord directs you.
