Take Action And Set Yourself Free

Learn To Be Open To Opportunities,

"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might!" has been a great motivator for me since 2002.

Let's have a look at the major points we as Christian business men should keep in mind based on this Bible verse.

1. Be open to all kinds of opportunities.

"WHATEVER your hand finds to do" tells us that we should be open to opportunities.

Even if we come across some opportunity and are not familiar with the area it covers, that should not keep us from considering it.

2. Be willing to put in a well measured effort.

"Do it with all your might" commands us to put in an effort.

That is the price we have to pay for success. And our God will bless our work.

But we must not deceive ourselves and put all of our efforts in our job or our business. Remember these words of our Lord Jesus:

"Do not worry about your life" (Luke 12:22)

"The one who received the seed that fell among the thorns is the man who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke it, making it unfruitful." (Matthew 13:22)

3. Set yourself free to serve the Lord Jesus.

We should free ourselves as much as possible from earthly obligations so that we can serve the Lord Jesus.

The Bible says:

"Were you a slave when you were called? Don't let it trouble you --although if you can gain your freedom, do so." (1 Corinthians 7:21)

Are you an employee? Or are you enslaved to your own business?

We must try to gain our freedom!

We should set mid- and long-term goals to free ourselves from all debt.

We should not let our business be the primary goal in our lives.

We should strive to free our time at a maximum to be able to serve our Lord Jesus.

4. Start to work with all your might!

"Do it with all your might" can be interpreted both as an advice and as a command. I think you should take this as a command.

Start to work with all your might!

Without that, there will be no success for you!

You must overcome your fears and start taking action.
