As followers of Jesus Christ, we
are called to make a difference in the world. The Great Commission commands us
to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19-20). One of the ways we can
fulfill this commitment is through Kingdom entrepreneurship.
Kingdom entrepreneurship is the
practice of creating and managing businesses that serve God's purposes and
advance His Kingdom. It involves using the skills, resources, and opportunities
that God has given us to create value for others and make a positive impact in
the world. Kingdom entrepreneurs are driven not only by a desire for personal
success and financial gain but also by a deep sense of calling to serve God and
others through their work.
So, why does Kingdom entrepreneurship matter? Here are a few
reasons:
It fulfills our God-given purpose
God has created each of us with
unique talents, abilities, and passions. We are called to use these gifts to
glorify Him and serve others (1 Peter 4:10-11). Kingdom entrepreneurship
provides a platform for us to do just that. By starting and running businesses
that reflect our values and beliefs, we can fulfill our God-given purpose and
make a positive impact in the world.
It creates jobs and economic opportunity.
Entrepreneurship is a powerful
force for economic growth and development. By starting businesses, Kingdom
entrepreneurs create jobs and generate income for themselves and others. They
also bring innovative products and services to market that improve people's
lives and create new opportunities for growth and prosperity.
It transforms communities.
Kingdom entrepreneurship has the
power to transform communities by addressing social and economic problems and
promoting positive change. By starting businesses that serve the needs of their
communities, Kingdom entrepreneurs can help lift people out of poverty, improve
access to education and healthcare, and promote environmental sustainability.
They can also create a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship that inspires
others to follow in their footsteps.
It advances God's Kingdom
Ultimately, Kingdom
entrepreneurship matters because it is a means of advancing God's Kingdom on
earth. By creating businesses that reflect God's values and contribute to the
common good, Kingdom entrepreneurs can bear witness to the transforming power
of the Gospel and inspire others to follow Christ. They can also use their
businesses as a platform for evangelism and discipleship, sharing the love of
Christ with employees, customers, and vendors.
As we embark on this journey,
let us seek God's wisdom and guidance, and let us strive to glorify Him in all
that we do.
