Getting Money v/s Money Cometh
I remember a popular confession spoken by certain church types that said “Money Cometh.” I also remember confessing it over my life as well. And although there are people who have a way of attracting money, those people had to first understand how to go after it.
I believe that before you can ever attract money, you have to know how to pursue it. Money is like every other resource we need in life; there must be an effort put forth in order to obtain it. This effort is called WORK.
But Even “work” has its limits. Work alone is not good enough to bring us to a place of financial freedom. Work must be combined with many other ingredients such as creativity, knowledge, understanding, integrity and wisdom. And I believe once we know how to leverage our work with these ingredients, we won’t go after money rather money will come to us!
I love the effort and thought of our Impact Global team. Their work combined with their love for missions and evangelism will soon bring about an exponential increase to our Impact businesses. I see IMPACT WEAR, IMPACT LOUNGE increasing in many ways!
The difference between the two is that getting money is like selling a electronic device or investing in something you will get money in return. when its money cometh is when you tithe and be faithful to your tithes and believe that we know that we would be paid in return.
BOOM!!! Right on the money. It’s so strange that I had this same discussion with my team yesterday at work and now I come across this blog. WOW! For the past 16 years I have always been in the business industry. I have seen businesses rise way beyond their expectations and I have also seen those that have plummet and crash just as fast.
One key action that will determine the success of your business, is the understanding of two words – “NETWORK and FELLOWSHIP”
I have seen many business people confused on the true meaning of these two words and their successful business have crashed so hard, that up to this day, they are still trying to figure out what went wrong.
One of the biggest mistakes that can ever be done in business is to confuse Network with Fellowship. These two actions should never be mixed up in business. NETWORK – Is when you seek people who can be helpful professionally, especially when you are trying to establish or improve a business. These individuals are most likely to be found in the business environment. FELLOWSHIP – Is when people seek people for “mutual” interest, experiences, activities; a trust and friendship is mostly involved in fellowship.
They both have similar objective but very much different outcomes.
NETWORK – consist of “WORK”, a lot of research, exhausting hours of surveying and trust has its limits. It is extremely hard to go up to business professional individuals and “PROVE” that your business is the right way to go. FELLOWSHIP – There is NO work in it at all; there has already been a trusting fellow involve. It is very easy to fellowship; go up to someone you know and say “Let’s do business; it is a great way to go.”
Like the phrase is said – “Never mix Business with Friendship”
My point here is – Avoid the confusion. Understand and recognize the significance of these two words in the business world.
It takes a lot of “WORK” to build a successful business with very little friendship. Target the buisness world as they understand the proposal you are presenting. Targeting your fellows may be critical to your future success.
Let’s step outside the box and look beyond. Target the GLOBE and MONEY SHALL COMETH. Blessings only come through “WORK” and not by “HOPES”.
From the heart and constructive. I love you all. Peter
When somebody sells something they get their money put it away. when you doin things with the lord you will get your reward.
Impact Wear and Impact Lounge will be successful because it is a Vision birth from God and blessed my him. Lord, continue to bring forth the knowledge, wisdom and creativity.
I know that our business will increase, because the profit is going to the mission field. God will bless us with creativity and wisdom, our efforts will be paid in full. We serve a powerful God who loves us and want us bless so that we can be a blessing to other.
I believe that all Impact business will grow and expand because God will get the glory and the people have been faithful over little – soon come, ruler over much!
Proverbs 14:23 says all hard work brings forth profit but mere talk leads to poverty. May we all work hard because we are blessed to be a blessing to others. We know that God wants to bless us. Now it is just time for us to work hard and connect.
