  As a christian, business owner how do we live our life as a christian and at the same time trade and do business in the community. Do we seperate God from what we do and conduct our business strictly seperated from our faith.  God is the greatest business man he incoporated business into the daily lives of the Isrealites. Today we hide God from our board rooms and put our faith away when it comes to professionalism. However I want to encourage christian Papua New Guineans to live life as a christian the same as you would in church and home and as how you would run your business. What is the secret to over coming our daily challenges in business. I would say the first and formost challenge would be how do I generate revenue? How do I bring customers to buy my goods and services. How do I make money? In my experiance the first thing is to take it to the Lord in Prayer. Before you react before you pick up your phone and speak to anyone take time to pray and when you pray listen...

  Monday is National Prayer Day. Let's take this opportunity to spend time in prayer. There are important events coming up in the nation take time to pray for the Pope visit to PNG, for the VOC coming up in September and there are many others but these are just a few we mention. When situations and circumstances are beyound us take time to pray, what we don't have control over God is more than able to do.  Are you anxious? Pray. (reposted with permission from KCM) “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7). Are you fearful? Pray. “When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you. I praise God for what he has promised. I trust in God, so why should I be afraid? What can mere mortals do to me?” (Psalm 56:3-4). Are you worried? Pray. “That...

  Pricing is something that most of us take for granted. Am not sure if you really think about price apart from when there is a price increase. Have you ever wondered how people price goods and services and what should be the correct way of pricing your items. If you price too high you will loose customers and if you price too low then you will not make a profit so there is a place where you need to come too rightly to price items. As a christian there is also God's pespective on pricing. The book of levitcus is where God instructed the Isrealites on how to price items 26: 14  And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest ought of thy neighbour’s hand, ye shall not oppress one another:  God is very clear he does not want us to oppress another brother by putting our price too high that they struggle to buy our item and if they do they forgo other necessecities that they need in life. When you are pricing your good or service what is the first thing that comes to min...

  Reposting this great article from JC BLOg  The Praying Entrepreneur A gift opens the way and ushers the giver into the presence of the great.  Proverbs 18:16 NIV As an entrepreneur, I had to understand the importance of being Spirit-led in the marketplace, and how prayer is an essential part of moving forward with ideas, making connections and growing in my field. My entire career in sales and marketing consisted of prayer. Through prayer, I received an opportunity to be paid a full-time salary while working only 15-20 hours a week. This baffled my fellow co-workers until they requested me to pray for their sales too. Prayer gave me a strategic exodus from the workforce as an employee, and spearheaded my drive and desire to establish my own fitness business. As you may know, opening up your own business has enough hurdles to jump over. However, with prayer, I was able to navigate the terrain of a first-year entrepreneur successfully. I experienced a 300% increase in pro...
