I love doing business, it’s something I am passionate about, please permit me to say this, business is me, I am business🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
✍Some years ago after I completed my diploma in the University of Benin waiting for direct entry admission disappointment came while waiting despite the good grades, O lord I need admission became my prayer point. Since admission was not forth coming as earlier expected, I decided to take up a teaching job. Though I was working, my desire was to go back to school to get a degree, so i continued my prayer point of God providing admission for me.
✍One faithful evening, I, my mum and my siblings visited one of our family friend, upon getting to their house we met a man of God there and our family friend told the man to please pray for us. My mum quickly told him to pray for the admission I have been trusting God for. As the man of God was praying, he said in his words that admission is not an issue because God has settled it but he saw me doing business.
✍To be sincere, I doubted those words God spoke through the man of God because back then I could not comprehend how a person is told to pray for admission and the next thing he kept talking of business. I could not see a sign of me doing business in the first place because I had always wanted to be an Engineer and a lecturer.
✍While working in the school before I gained admission, one day a young lady came to the school to sell bead bags, purse, shoes, necklace earrings etc. In the midst of the buying and selling taking place, I thought within me what if I learn this because I was fascinated with the items she brought which was so beautiful. After she was done with everyone, I spoke to her about my intentions of learning bead making and within Four weeks (four saturdays) I was done with my training as a fast learner🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
💁🏼♀️Not quite long, God honoured His word and i gained admission into the University to get a degree.
✍In my year one I stayed in the school hostel, I started marketing beads to students in the hostel and school, trust me I got students to buy from me.
✍You know we students especially female students like cloths, we want to look our best. I noticed my friends don’t joke with buying of cloths, most of the time I and my friends will go to Yaba market to buy cloths and other things. One day I thought within me that what if I start selling cloths to my friends and also extend it to other students in the school. That was how I started going to China town to buy cloths after doing my research and I will bring it to school to sell. Unconsciously I found myself doing business, being passionate about it and have fallen in love with it.
✍Fast forward to 2012, I started Ck Sognatures Ltd. with liquid soap and now it has grown beyond what I started it with. I have learnt to trust God to lead me in this journey of business he has set my foot upon. Though I must confess sometimes there are low times but His leading has always be my succor to show me the way and get solution to bounce back.
✍Business is spiritual, you must trust God and God only to order your steps and lead you to take take actionable steps and decision that will spur your business to greater heights and the desired expected end.
👉Jeremiah 29: 11; “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thought of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”
⚠️Year 2021is here again, that business you are doing that is not doing well or you are about to start a business, have you pray about it for God to lead you to what you ought to do, give you new ideas and inspirations?
👉Those who know their God shall be strong and do great exploit.
🙏🏾🙏🏾We shall all do great exploits in this year in Jesus name.
(Amen).
⚠️Aside from saying Amen, please take actionable steps, ask questions, do research, take up courses and trainings to get the desired results by God’s grace.
⚠️Faith without works is dead.
