Make A Start
By Niyi Adeoshun
It has been said that "if
we follow the road of by-and-by, we will eventually arrive at the
house of never". This saying is true of many potential
Christian businessmen and women. They are waiting to
have everything they want before starting a business.
All you need now is that little seed called idea, that
strong desire, that dream, that vision. You can't use
what you don't have, you might as well start with what
you have.
From this point onwards, follow
God's example in Genesis 1; say what you will do and do
it, no matter how small. Remember that he who swims with
God never goes to the bottom.
"Though you started with little,
you will end with much" - Job 8:7 (The Living Bible).
Don't underestimate yourself.
The opinion of others about you is not nearly as important as
what you think about yourself. Do you view yourself as God views
you? Do you recognise the gifts and ability God has placed within
you? (Phil 4:13, Romans 8:37, 2Cor. 5:17) Once you know who
you are in Christ, you will not be quick to underestimate the
ability you have in Him; nor will you allow the opinions of
others to keep you from rightly valuing yourself. Above all,
look at what God Almighty can do through you. If God is really
your Senior Partner, you will make your plans BIG.
"Confidence is the father
of achievements. It re-enforces ability, doubles energy, buttresses
mental faculties, and increase power". - Orison Sweh Marden
Make a decision
If you will stop, don't start. There is no point in starting
something that you know you will stop when you encounter problems.
Make a full, no quit, no turning back decision to succeed and
you will. If the heart is willing, it will find a thousand ways;
but an unwilling heart will found a thousand excuses.
"An enterprise, when fairly
once begun, should not be left till all that ought is won".
William Shakespear
"Strengthening your weak parts,
developing, exposing and promoting your strong parts is what
success is all about". - Bishop Fred Addo
Once you have now made up your
mind to go all the way - with God's help, you might learn
the fundamentals of business on the web from our business
articles on this website.
