Every Christian that is in business needs to understand that their identity comes from being a beloved child of God with full inheritance rights to His kingdom. They need to reflect and meditate on that, for as long as it takes for them to have their minds renewed by this awesome and indescribable gift. It’s not enough to get this intellectually. It is a matter of the heart and must permeate every aspect of life.
It takes time meditating on the Word and spending time with the Living Word to get there. Once they get there, they realize that they’ve been given the greatest and most meaningful gift and reality imaginable. The Work has already been done by Christ, so the most logical thing to do is to bring all we are and all we have to the altar before God, not because He needs it, but because we can’t help but be overcome by gratitude. It should consume every fibre of our being.
To put it plainly, everything else fits abundantly into place when our identity is fixed on who we are as sanctified or set apart for Jesus Christ. May our identity in Christ also permeate our giving, so that we are a joyful giver for God, a conduit of His rich generosity. Our hearts as Christian business people should be to advance the Kingdom of God thereby creating Heaven on earth.
