Grace for business: The unfair advantage
๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐ง๐๐ฅ๐ง๐๐ฃ๐๐ช๐ง’๐จ ๐๐ฃ๐๐๐๐ง ๐ผ๐๐ซ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐๐๐
People start businesses for a variety of reasons. It’s either as a way of life, to make a living, or to make a fortune.
Each of us made it into business for one of those reasons above. For whatever reason, we have received an advantage one may consider as unfair to others in the business sphere.
The Bible says:
“๐ ๐จ๐ซ ๐ข๐ ๐๐ฒ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐ฆ๐๐งโ๐ฌ ๐จ๐๐๐๐ง๐ฌ๐ ๐๐๐๐ญ๐ก ๐ซ๐๐ข๐ ๐ง๐๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐จ๐ง๐, ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐๐ก ๐ฆ๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ฌ๐ ๐ฐ๐ก๐จ ๐ซ๐๐๐๐ข๐ฏ๐ ๐๐๐ฎ๐ง๐๐๐ง๐๐ ๐จ๐ ๐ ๐ซ๐๐๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐จ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ ๐ข๐๐ญ ๐จ๐ ๐ซ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ซ๐๐ข๐ ๐ง ๐ข๐ง ๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ง๐, ๐๐๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐๐ก๐ซ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ” (Romans 5:17 NKJV).
This Scripture is not specifically talking about business, but about our state in union with Christ.
However, there’s something very striking for me there and that is, “๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฒ ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐ง๐๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ฐ๐ก๐จ ๐ก๐๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐ก๐ซ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ, ๐ก๐๐ฌ ๐ซ๐๐๐๐ข๐ฏ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐จ๐ ๐ ๐ซ๐๐๐”- Grace that is more than enough.
The receipt of the ABUNDANCE of grace gave God’s entrepreneurs an unfair advantage over others.

Abundant grace
When we accepted Christ, we were given a measure of faith. We also received the Spirit of God by measure. But when it came to grace, God gave us ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐๐. Why?
The reason is so that we will reign in all areas of life, including business. To reign is to rule, to be in charge, have the lead, to prevail, or to have dominion.
God knows we would encounter a lot of challenges. He knows we would confront monsters in the marketplace. He knows our ability is not enough, so He gave us abundant grace to reign as if business itself were milk and honey.
We are not to carry on with business relying on what we can do, but on what grace can do in us, with us, for us, and through us.
๐๐ซ๐๐๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐’๐ฌ ๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง, so it has the ability to make you succeed. If you run with it, Grace can never make you come last or stranded. So, make a demand on grace constantly.
Get on with your business with grace consciousness and you will never experience dry moments.
Have you considered that no matter how much you draw on Grace, you cannot exhaust its abundant supply? Instead, the products of grace in your life and business will make others think God is unfair to them.
