Demonstrating God's Love In BusinessSample

For God So Loved He Gave

While the Apostle Paul provides solid insight that will help you to walk in love towards others, the most quoted scripture in the Bible, John 3:16, best exemplifies how to demonstrate God’s love: For God loved the world so much that He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life.

If you follow the model of your Heavenly Father, you will be compelled to give, and to give radically. Radical means “extreme, unusual, different from the norm, and aggressive.” God loved us so radically that He gave the entire world His only son Jesus to redeem us. Often times as entrepreneurs we focus on the importance of being wildly passionate about the product or service we provide, but as a Kingdom entrepreneur you need to be radically passionate about the people you serve and the people who serve you and your God-given vision. That radical love is expressed through your radical giving.

Sowing your products and services into the lives of others is a wonderful way to express love. It’s best to be led by the Holy Spirit in your giving because it will keep you from overdoing the giving to the detriment of your business. While we don’t give in order to get, the truth is that when you allow the Holy Spirit to guide you and you yield to His promptings, your otherwise random acts of kindness become strategic acts of kindness which yield supernatural results (for you and others) that you simply could not have pre-determined. 

Ask God each day to reveal opportunities for you to be a radical giver through your interactions in business and He will show you! Not only does God know your needs and the desires of your heart, but He also knows the needs and desires of the hearts of those you encounter or influence through your business activities.
