What Bible Taught Me About Business Success And Wealth And How You Can Apply

Money is a fact of life. It is necessary. You need it. Money is God’s mind. It is taught me about business success and wealth in the Word of God. Do you want to know what biblical passages about about profit or what the bible says about profit in business? Then here are what you look for.

Bible Passage 1:  Pay To Learn How To Profit Or How To Do Business

I am the Lord your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you in the way you should go.—Isaiah 48:17b (RSV).

A certain widow with three children in Nigeria was taught by the LORD how to make delicious beancake that customers found difficult to resist this taste. God taught her how to make delicious Akara beancake that no seller can beat her in the same marketplace. He made her a prosperous Akara seller in business 

Bible Passage 2: Go And Sell Your Corns During The Dry Time

Joseph saved 20 % corns each time he planted and harvested it during the plentiful time for seven years and sold corns at a profit in seven years during the famine.—Genesis 47:1-57 (paraphrased).

Learn to work to save for future investment and then invest for future multiplication.

Bible Passage 3: Go and Sell the Oil 

Prophet Elisha to the poor widow: Go, sell the oil and pay your debts and you and sons live on the rest.—2 Kings 4:1-7. 

What do you have in your hand? Discover, go and sell what you have to make you wealthy.

Bible Passage 4: Buy And Sell That You May Eat With Your Family

You shall buy from sellers that you may eat, drink water, and clothe yourself and shelter while sellers shall sell you a product or service that they may eat, drink water, clothe himself/herself and shelter. Deuteronomy 2:6 and 28 (paraphrased).

Go far to buy cheap or import cheap what people don't have or what they still demand and sell as a distributor or importer so that you and your family enjoy for the rest of your life. 

Bible Passage 5: Find Any Grain (product or service) And Sell it

The people curse him who holds back grain, but blessing is on the head of him who sells It.—Provide 11.26.

Sell something to avoid the curse of poverty or get rid of poverty.

Bible Passage 6: Create more two, three or four streams of income in case that one stream is dry

A virtuous woman was not only a merchandiser, but she was also a garment supplier. The woman made more profits from these two streams. 

She bought goods cheap from afar and sold it.  And again she made line garments and sold it to merchants at distributing price. She was really a rich woman. Proverbs31:14, 16-18 and 24 (paraphrased).

It means you buy more assets in different opportunities or build some multiple streams of income for future security.

  

Bible Passage 7: Earn Profit By Trading With Your Talents or Money

In a parable, before going into a journey afar, a master called his servants and gave them 5 talents, 2 talents and one talent each according to their ability, and he told them to go and trade with it. –Matthew25:14-30 and Luke 19:12-26(paraphrased).

It means you can not make money with your salary. It is only a talent that you get rich. You must learn to sell with your talents. Don't sell your talents for your boss. 

  

Bible Passage 8: Making Profit From Investment

Before sowing a seed, you should test what type of soil it is. Is it along path that can yield a hundredfold, sixty and or thirty fold? Is it rocky ground that can bring much soil? 

Is it thorns that can generate grain I invest in? Is it good soil that can bring me a hundredfold, sixty fold or thirty fold?—Matthew13:1-9 (paraphrased).

Only analyze assets that can multiple your money and invest it heavily for future multiplication. 

Bible Passage 9: Use Investment Mentality To Get Rich

You shall remember the Lord your God, for He who gives you power to get wealth; that He may confirm His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as at this day.—Deuteronomy8:18.

Go and develop your investment mentality daily or hone your investment skills. Spend to make you rich.

Bible Passage 10: Let Him Multiply Your Profit And Protect Your Profit From Loss

The Lord your God to YOU: Bring tithes and offers into my house you make profit in business and test me if I won’t open the window of heaven to bless your business and your family and protect your business from devourers.—Malachi 3:8-12 (paraphrased).

Go and look for fertile church that can make God to bless your business or multiple your success and make special offering to God and see if He don't bless your business. 

However, now, according to Dr.P.C.Orji I read in his book titled Be Empowered for Wealth, there are more 2000 verses on money and possessions in both old and new Testaments while there are 500 verses on Faith and 500 verses on Praise in the bible.

It shows how important money and business is. You need not to ignore or resist it as if you think it is a sin because you are a Christian.
