"Chosen to Bear Lasting Fruit"
Bible Verses for Business Owners - Book John, Chapter 15, Verse 16
In the book of John, chapter 15, verse 15, Jesus said, "You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you." This verse holds a powerful message for entrepreneurs and small business owners. It reminds us that our calling and purpose come from God Himself. We are chosen by Him to bear fruit in our endeavors. This means that success in business is not solely dependent on our own efforts or abilities but on God's divine appointment.
Obedience plays a crucial role in fulfilling this calling. When we align our actions with God's will and follow His guidance, we position ourselves to bear lasting fruit in our businesses. Obedience requires trust and surrender to His plans, even when they may seem counterintuitive or challenging. By obeying His commands and seeking His wisdom through prayer, we open ourselves up to receive blessings beyond measure.
Consider a scenario where a small business owner is faced with a difficult decision regarding an important partnership opportunity. Despite initial doubts and uncertainties, the owner chooses to seek God's guidance through prayer and reflection on His Word. Through obedience to God's leading, the owner decides to decline the partnership offer despite potential short-term gains.
As time passes, it becomes evident that this decision was wise as unforeseen circumstances arise that would have jeopardized the integrity of the business had they entered into the partnership. By choosing obedience over immediate gratification or worldly success, this business owner bore lasting fruit by preserving their company's values and long-term sustainability.
In conclusion, remember that as entrepreneurs and small business owners chosen by God for a specific purpose – to bear lasting fruit in all aspects of our work – obedience is key. Trust in His plan for your business endeavors; seek His guidance through prayer; align your actions with His will; and watch as He fulfills His promise of granting your requests made in Jesus' name according to his perfect plan for your life.
