Is there a man in the world who has fulfilled the purposes of God without implementing the plans of his heart?

What great biblical figure, even among the heroes of faith, has fulfilled the purposes of God outside the plans of their heart?

*Ecclesiastes 11:6 says:*
_“In the morning sow your seed, and at evening do not withhold your hand, for you do not know which will prosper, this or that, or whether both alike will be good.”_

In other words: In the morning, do your regular work, but in the evening, do something else you know how to do—a parallel work alongside your initial work—for you do not know whether in the end it will be the parallel work or both that will succeed.

*Proverbs 19:21:*
_“Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails_".

There are plans in the heart of man that God has placed there. It is only by putting into action these plans that come from our hearts that God fulfills His purpose for humanity.

As a Christian entrepreneur, let us listen to the Lord and start with what we have in hand. We may “fail” at 4 projects, but the one project where we succeed will be the one through which God fulfills His purpose.

Let us do our business as mission (BAM).

*### Business as an Altar: The Mission of the Christian Entrepreneur*

As entrepreneurs, we carry a responsibility that goes far beyond simply managing a business: we are called to operate as true missionaries. Our position is unique. Where some pastors may never have access, we encounter people every day — clients, suppliers, partners, and service providers — who come to seek or offer services. It is precisely within these daily interactions that our work becomes an altar dedicated to the Lord. Every encounter becomes an opportunity to reveal God’s grace and share the message of salvation through Jesus Christ with those who cross our path.

Within this vision, financial profitability takes on a different meaning: it is no longer an end in itself, but a powerful tool in service of the Kingdom. We do not do business merely to accumulate resources, but to honor God, praise Him, and transform our environment. Making money therefore becomes an opportunity to glorify the Lord and to practice a genuine form of worship through integrity, excellence, and service. When we recognize that our workplaces are channels of blessing, we choose to bring life, transformation, and positive impact into the very heart of the economy.

Our challenge today is now to transform our work into an altar for God. May excellence be our offering, integrity be our worship, and service to others be our devotion. Let us make every hour of work a living prayer, so that the Lord may be glorified through everything we build, in order for us to become true worshippers of the Father."

Let us do our Business As a Mission (BAM)

Colossians 3:23 (KJV)
“_And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men._”

**##The Christian Entrepreneur: A Missionary in the Business World ##**

Entrepreneurship is not limited to the pursuit of profit. For a Christian, building a business is also a calling, a mission, and a ministry. Our businesses should not merely be places of commercial transactions, but also spaces of impact, platforms of testimony, and altars dedicated to God in the heart of the professional world. The goal is not only for customers to leave satisfied with a product or service, but also for them to encounter love, peace, joy, and the values of God’s Kingdom through us.

Doing business with God means accepting to build a true partnership with Him. It requires integrity, excellence, justice, service, and a constant desire to please Him in every decision we make. Christian entrepreneurship is therefore not only about generating resources to support the Church. Our mission goes far beyond that: we are called to be direct witnesses of Christ in the economic world.

The Christian entrepreneur often operates in spheres where many ministers of God may not always have access. Every day, we interact with decision-makers, investors, strategic partners, authorities, and individuals who may never step into a church. Yet, God intentionally places us in these environments so that the way we work, lead, and serve reflects His presence.

When we pray for the growth of our businesses, the opening of new markets, or greater influence, we must understand that such elevation also serves the Kingdom of God. Our success then becomes a channel of impact, a tool for transformation, and an opportunity to demonstrate God’s love through our professional interactions.

Ultimately, building a business with God means transforming our skills, leadership, resources, and success into instruments dedicated to His Kingdom. Because a Christian entrepreneur is not only a businessman or businesswoman; he or she is also a missionary sent into the economic world.

Let us do our Business As a Mission (BAM)

The Rodeo
By Rev. Joseph Holmes
H C Cowboy Ministries (Horsemen of Christ)
Scripture:
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
—2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV – the way I like to read it sometimes)
Good Morning Cowboys and Cowgirls lets take a minute. I’ve been around enough buckin’ stock and bad draws when I was riding bulls and to tell you the truth rodeo don’t care how many times you’ve won. You can have the gold buckle shinin’ on your dresser, the truck paid off from last year’s winnings, and folks callin’ you “the man to beat.” But when that chute opens and that bull or bronc comes out, he ain’t read your press clippings. His goal is to buck you off, and he’s got four legs and a bad attitude.
You do everything right—glove up, rosined rope, feet set, deep breath, nod your head. Gate flies open, and bam—world tilts sideways. You’re grabbin’ air, spurrin’ nothin’ but sky, and next thing you know you’re bouncin’ off the arena floor like a bad check its happened to all of us. Happens to green hands, happens to old hands. Ain’t nobody permanent on top. The dirt’s honest that way.
Life’s the same rodeo, just without the announcer. We saddle up every morning thinkin’ we’ve got the draw figured. We budget tight, raise our young’uns the best we know how, keep the marriage hitched, stay ahead of the bills, maybe even throw a little prayer on top like extra rosin. We figure if we ride smart and hold on tight, we’ll make the whistle.
Then comes the wreck. Doctor’s office call. Layoff notice. Kid runnin’ wild. Roof leakin’ in a downpour. Marriage hittin’ a rough patch. Whatever it is, it spins you off, knocks the wind out, and leaves you sprawled in the mud wonderin’ what just happened.
Now here’s where it counts, partner. Are you lyin’ there with the clowns runnin’ interference and the crowd hootin’ do you stay down? Let the hurt and the mad and the “why me” keep you planted? Or do you roll over, push up on one elbow, get your boots under you, dust the arena off your chaps, tip your hat to the folks, and head back to the chutes for another go?
God never built us to lay there wallowin’. He didn’t pour fear into our souls so we’d spend our days huntin’ the nearest gate out. No he gave us His Spirit. Of Power when our legs are jelly. Love when bitterness wants to take root. A sound mind when everything’s spinnin’. That ain’t just fancy preacher talk; it’s the real stuff that gets a beat-up cowboy back up we call it “COWBOY UP”.
I’ve been thrown plenty times when the ground came up fast and hard, there was times when I didn’t think I’d ever climb back on again. But every time, there’s been a hand reachin’ down to help me up, and it was not mine. It was His! See Jesus knows what it’s like to hit bottom harder than any of us ever will He took the worst buck-off on Calvary and still got up three days later, victorious.
So if today’s got you in the dirt, don’t stay there nursin’ bruises Cowboy Up and grab that hand. Let His power lift you. Let His love heal what’s busted. Let His steady hand remind you that even though you may not pick the bull, you ride for the One who’s already won the whole show.
Lets Pray
Lord, You’ve watched me eat dirt more times than a man ought to admit. Some wrecks left me sore for weeks, others left scars I still feel when the weather changes. There’ve been days I laid there thinkin’, “That’s enough I’m done.” But You never let me stay down long. You’re the first one there to help me up.
Lord I ask to Pour out that power again when I’m weak. Soak me in Your love when the cold creeps in. Give me a clear head when lifes got me dizzy. Help me trust You’re ridin’ shotgun every jump, every fall, every comeback. And Lord, when I can’t see the timer or feel my grip, remind me You’re holdin’ the reins. Like you have always have been.
Thank You for never quittin’ on a beat-up ol’ cowboy like me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
