The Fusion of Business & Spirituality

In business, the reality is that it solely depends on spiritual wisdom and wellness. In a Christian-based and/or Christian-owned business, before you compose a business plan, create a name or logo or share your ideas with another, you've got to pray over your business. Every Christian knows that every vision is a seed implanted in your mind by the Holy Spirit. When we have an "idea" for a business, in reality, we're translating this business and moving it from our mind to paper and then action.
"2And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it." - Habakkuk 2:2
The bible says to take your vision, record it, make it plain so that man may read and understand it. God gives us every idea, and in the end, every business with a Christian foundation will make a difference in the lives of others.

When studying entrepreneurship, you'll find that most entrepreneurs don't start businesses with the sole purpose of making money, but translating their visions from dreams to reality. That same basic principle is apparent in Christian-based businesses; its not done for the money, its done for the purpose of enhancing lives and building upon that vision that God has supplied.

Realizing all of this, the idea that Christianity and business co-depend on one another should be elementary. As a Christian, its important to take the blessings of vision and use them to glorify the Lord and help His people.

In this blog, we'll talk about how to run a business based on Him, live a life based on Him, and better understand how spiritual living and a relationship with God can make or break the success of a business.

Glory be to the Lord for the vision of this blog and for the vision of the spiritual assistance that will be provided to many Christian-owned businesses across the world. Amen.

The True Definition of Wealth

Wealth [welth] -noun: a great quantity or store of money, valuable possessions, property, or other riches: the wealth of a city.

What does wealth mean to you? Wealth is invaluable, and for once, wealth is not completely geared toward the thought and idea of money. Wealth is a great quantity of one simple thing: peace. The complete peace of a person depends solely upon their spiritual relationship with the Lord. **Note to reader: If you're not a Christian and don't plan on being, The Wealth Minded Woman blog is NOT for you.

A spiritual relationship and peace with the Lord will bring wealth of all kinds to you. In the words of a friend of mine, Minister Jamaron Harris, "God's favor ain't fair!" In addition, you must stay in your right mind. God can bless you with wisdom, but if you don't know how to use the wisdom for His good, the wisdom is pointless.

Like an equation; Spiritual Peace + Spiritual Wisdom = Overwhelming Wealth

Overwhelming wealth; financial, mental, emotional, spirituality...overall peace.

Let's learn to gain our wealth together.
