Business and Spiritual Life: Letting Your Enterprise Be Your Way of Serving God

For many new entrepreneurs, business is often seen as a pursuit of profit, growth, and success. But what if your business could be something more? What if it could also be your way of serving God and making a difference in the lives of others?

Starting the Day with Gratitude and Guidance.
In my own journey as a business owner, I’ve learned that the most important meetings I have each day are not with clients or partners, but with God. I start every morning with a prayer of thanksgiving, acknowledging all the blessings—big and small—that have brought me to where I am. Before tackling the day’s challenges, I ask for God’s wisdom in every decision I will make.

It’s amazing how things become clearer after prayer. Problems that once seemed overwhelming become manageable. Decisions that felt impossible suddenly have direction. When you put God at the center of your business, you invite clarity, peace, and purpose into your work.

God at the Core of Business Decisions.
Putting God first doesn’t just change how you feel—it changes how you act. It transforms the way you make decisions and how you deal with clients, employees, and partners. When you see your business as an instrument for serving God, every transaction becomes an opportunity to serve, to be fair, and to show integrity.

There will be times when you’re tested—when partners betray you, when clients are unreasonable, or when employees disappoint. I’ve been there. I once faced a betrayal from a business partner, a non-life insurance company, that nearly destroyed everything I had built. The anger and pain were real. Legally, I knew I had every right to fight back—and I could have won. But instead of letting revenge rule my heart, I chose to lift it all up to God. I trusted that He would take care of the situation, and that justice, in His time, would prevail.

Serving Others Through Business.
When you surrender your business to God, you begin to see it as more than a source of income. It becomes your instrument to serve others—to provide jobs, to help clients, to create value in your community. Your business becomes your ministry, and every day is an opportunity to make a positive impact.

Remembering Our True Purpose.
At the end of the day, we are all just temporary players in this world. Our businesses, no matter how successful, are not ends in themselves. They are tools—opportunities to serve others and to serve God. When we remember this, we find deeper meaning in our work, greater resilience in tough times, and true joy in every little victory.
​
Let your business be your way of serving God. Start each day with gratitude, seek His wisdom in every decision, and trust Him with the challenges you face. In doing so, you’ll discover that your business is not just about making a living—it’s about living a life that truly matters.
