The design of man according to God is for man to get his nourishment from the WORD, because man is a product of the WORD (1pet.1:23, James 1:18). Your sustenance is a product of your essence, what you are made of. Beyond the parlance of man being physical, man is a spirit, he has a soul and he lives in a body. Because the body of a man is formed from the soil, his sustenance physically comes from the soil. But the most important part of a man is his Spirit, the communication point between himself and God. For God is a Spirit…The WORD of God is the food of the Spirit, our spirit, it contains our essence (…the WORD that I speak, they are Spirit and life, John 6:63). So our mainstay as believers is the WORD of God. As physical food is to our body, so is the WORD of God to our spirit man. We are never designed to live outside the WORD; we are never supposed to live daily without the WORD of God. If indeed that is true and it is, then every area of our lives should be governed by the word of God, whether it is our career or business they are all inseparable. While this is true in itself, it is not true in the lives of every believer doing business or in one career or the other. There is a disconnect, because of a general perception that God sleeps in church and can only be met or visited on Sunday, so His reality is far from us.
If for whatever reason we dare to call his name in the course of our business or in the office; it doesn’t necessarily mean we believe Him to come through for us, it is just a cliché that we are used to. Our hope and trust are not in Him.
Many may debunk this assertion but it doesn’t make it to be untrue. Many will remain in the same position throughout life because their trust and faith are either in their ability, or in another man. The consequence of this is total WOEFUL. As carrier of God, at no point must God be left out of our consciousness as our helper and deliverer. Our place of security is in God. The world we live in is the one which the devil has taken time to establish his systems and processes before Jesus came. Our adversary, the devil is already defeated but not caged. He still parades himself to the whole world as though he is still in charge, and most times it appears so. Except there is a koinonia between us and the Holy Spirit to keep the fire of God in our lives burning bright, we are preys in his hands and have no solution to his antics.
So knowing God intimately is not an alternative. My life as a businessman adhered closely to God, as I consider it impossible to survive in business without God in an environment like ours. If you choose not to know and serve God, then you have no choice but to serve the devil and he would enslave you and make your life miserable. In business each day churns out its own challenges these challenges we are confronted with are out of this world, and you are expected to resolve them otherwise they bury you. If you don’t have God on your side, then you would face a free fall and you will be a prey in this fallen world. Our prayers should be that God Will open eyes to know the purpose of His word on our lives and that we may work worthy of it.
As we dumb down towards the end of the year, make the WORD of God your priority.
Remain blessed.
