The unnamed virtuous woman of Proverbs Chapter 31 is indeed an amazon when it comes to entrepreneurship. Deploying skills which about every woman acquired as girls (sewing and knitting) she became a garment and accessories manufacturer, an enterprise from which she made sufficient money to buy land to plant a vineyard. In essence, she diversified her business – she ventured into agriculture – planting and processing. She planted the vineyard to source raw materials with which to produce wine.
Beloved, I suggest
that you read and study Proverbs Chapter 31 verses 10 to 31 for insight into
how this very diligent and very well organized woman conducted her business –
the sourcing of the materials for the garment industry, the choice of quality
materials, the marketing and sales of her products, the organization of her
workers and her own personal discipline.
King Solomon
became extremely wealthy not just because he was King in Israel but because he
deployed his God given wisdom to profit. He traded the wisdom in great measure
for money – 1st Kings Chapters 3 verse 12; 4 verses 29 to 34; 10
verses 24 to 29, 2nd Chronicles Chapter 9 verses 23 to 24. He also
engaged in other businesses which increased his wealth.
Lady Lydia sold purple and made good money from doing so. She supported the work of the kingdom with her resources. Please read Acts Chapter 16 verses 13 to 15. If she was like the idle women described in 1st Timothy Chapter 5 verses 11 to 15, she would not have money to support herself not to talk of supporting the preaching of the gospel.
The widow of the indebted prophet paid off a family debt that would have culminated in debt slavery for her two sons by bottling oil and selling the packaged oil. With a product as simple as oil packaged into the right vessels and marketed and sold to the right audience, she put an end to a family history of indebtedness, borrowing, begging and lack. She rewrote the family history bringing in positivity and obliterating negativity. She chose to obey God – work with her hands and she earned income. She refused to pile on fresh debt or take to begging. As she, alongside her two sons worked (which is biblical – 1st Thessalonians Chapter 4 verses 11 to 12, 2nd Thessalonians Chapter 3 verses 6 to 15, Deuteronomy Chapters 28 verses 8, 11 to 13; 24 verse 19; 23 verse 20; 11 verses 8 to 15, Ecclesiastes Chapter 9 verse 10, Proverbs Chapters 19 verse 15, 20 verse 4 and 14 verse 23), the money which had hitherto elude the family came into their hands and they not only became debt free, they also had personal income to live on. Please read 2nd Kings Chapter 4 verses 1 to 7.
Rick Warren wrote and published great life transforming books and made good money from them. Don Moen sang great songs celebrating the greatness of God in the land of the living. Bishop T.D. Jakes has a good number of books and other materials through which he makes money.
Elon Musk became the riches person in the world by creating products and services – electric cars, passenger rockets and the proposed city in Mars. So also goes for many of billionaires that you and I know. They all created products and services which we greedily patronize
God is not a man that would lie. Did He promise to bless the work of
your hands? Then get busy and watch God bless the work of your hands in the
mighty name of Jesus Christ. Shalom.
