Key Verse

Read: PROSPERITY

Business Ventures

Multiple ventures

  • Invest in seven ventures, yes, in eight; you do not know what disaster may come upon the land. Ecclesiastes 11:2 NIV
  • Sow your seed in the morning, and do not rest your hands in the evening, for you do not know which will succeed, whether this or that, or if both will equally prosper. Ecclesiastes 11:6 BSB
  • She considers a field before she buys or accepts it [expanding her business prudently]; With her profits she plants fruitful vines in her vineyard. Proverbs 31:16 AMP

Don’t invest in just one venture

  • There is a grievous evil I have seen under the sun: wealth hoarded to the harm of its owner, or wealth lost in a failed venture, so when that man has a son there is nothing to pass on. Ecclesiastes 5:13-14 BSB

Strategies

1. Wholesale Import - Retail Export

  • Solomon’s horses were imported from Egypt and from Kue. The king’s merchants purchased them [in large numbers] from Kue at a price. And they imported chariots from Egypt for 600 shekels of silver apiece, and horses for 150 apiece; and in the same way they exported horses to all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of the Arameans (Syrians). 2 Chronicles 1:16-17 AMP

2. Real Estate - Farming

  • She considers a field before she buys or accepts it [expanding her business prudently]; With her profits she plants fruitful vines in her vineyard. Proverbs 31:16 AMP

Others Prosper because of you

Examples

  • Laban because of Jacob: But Laban said to him, “If I have found favor in your sight, stay with me; for I have learned [from the omens in divination and by experience] that the LORD has blessed me because of you.” Genesis 30:27 AMP
  • Potiphar because of Joseph: It happened that from the time that he made Joseph overseer in his house and [put him in charge] over all that he owned, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s house because of Joseph; so the LORD’S blessing was on everything that Potiphar owned, in the house and in the field. Genesis 39:5 AMP

How long will you serve others?

  • Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the flock to the back of the desert, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. Exodus 3:1 NKJV
At this point in time, Moses was about 80 years old (Exodus 7:7). The one time to-be Pharoah of Egypt was still tending his father-in-law’s sheep after spending 40 years with him!

Have something of your own

  • For you had little before I came and it has increased and multiplied abundantly, and the LORD has favored you with blessings wherever I turned. But now, when shall I provide for my own household?” Genesis 30:30 AMP
