Mr. Service is providing his business incubation leadership and collaborating with us in bringing inventions through production to the market in a way that transforms lives in alignment with 1 Corinthians 10:24 & Proverbs 30:7-9. Below, Mr. Service sets the tone for Kingdom building business development:
"There is a growing genuine interest today within the Body of Christ to develop businesses and ministries that focus on meeting human needs while trusting our Father to meet our own needs, as is suggested in 1 Cor. 10:24 and other Bible passages. This deliberate action can build our Father's kingdom here and now when He is in control through our yielding to His Word and will.
Such activity requires sound planning, living for our Lord daily, working closely with other businesses and ministries, hard work, hearing from the Lord, and common sense. It should stem from a Biblical perspective of the balanced prosperity outlined in the verses of Proverbs 28:8, 20, 25, & 27; 30:7-9 and knowing that none of our possessions are ours, but merely an opportunity to exercise good stewardship. Biblical promises usually have stated conditions and are not claimed with words, but with our Godly living.
So it is no surprise that we find many successful enterprises in modern history that have intensely focused on human needs other than their own. There in fact should be very little difference between ministry and business endeavors that are soundly Christian in purpose. Christian ministry and Christian business endeavors that are genuine can be interconnected without conflict of interest or impropriety, and rightly so.
Innovative inventors and investors can also put their personal interests and profits in God's hands, and structure their involvement in new business, business expansions, and ministries support accordingly. Manufacturers can apply these concepts equally well. Strategic alliances of independent small businesses in the secular world have even found that cooperation, trust, honesty, and integrity can benefit their efforts far beyond what they could have ever engineered without such foundational precepts.
The challenge herein is for us individuals, families, small businesses of all types, and other participants to look at our options in the worlds of new product invention, investing, manufacture, and strategic alliances to find out how and where we can accomplish far more working together than we ever could alone. That means more in helping the needy, more in developing sought products and services, and more in providing for our loved ones through the provisions that our Provider brings about from our labors in business and ministry that really are Christian purposed.
