Starting A Business As A Christian Vs A 9-5 Life
In today’s world, it is no secret that a 9–5 is where many people work and survive. Society often promotes that a person should go to school, get a degree and work a 9–5 for 20–40 years before retiring. However, what if God wanted you to work for yourself?
Today, too many people are living paycheck to paycheck and they are often one paycheck short of being homeless. God doesn’t want you to rely on one job barely struggling to get by. God wants his people to prosper in this world as even God himself made King Solomon the richest man (1 Kings 10:23). Many 9–5 jobs can be restrictive for followers of God as they can hinder spending time with God.
Many 9–5 jobs have been known to write, suspend or even terminate employees if they talk about Jesus Christ too much. We live in a world where many people hate truth and God’s word is the truth (John 14:6). You shouldn’t be bound to your company’s rules or threatened to be terminated based on relationship with God.
God wants better for you and he may place a vision in you to start your own business. Even if you don’t want to become a full time entrepreneur, it’s recommended to at least have a side business. In a time where many jobs are laying off workers, having a side business at least keeps income coming in rather than losing your job God forbid and having no money coming in.
Many 9–5 jobs have a fixed income where they won’t even pay you more money or what you deserve. However, with your own business your not bound by a certain income as you can unlimited income coming in. You can become a millionaire, billionaire or even trillionaire based of your own business.
There are rarely any 9–5 jobs that will pay you this kind of money. A 9–5 paying $20 an hour is not going to work in a time where rent, mortgage or other bills are going up. Especially in major cities like New York or Los Angeles where the cost of living is very high. Don't underestimate God’s purpose that he has assigned over your life. Let this message be a great blessing unto you and be blessed in Jesus Christ name.
