\u201cThen go inside and shut the door behind you and your sons. Pour oil into all the jars, and as each is filled, put it to one side.\u201d<\/i> \u2014 II Kings 4:4<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n
So many entrepreneurs fail or do not achieve their fullest potential because they do not want or know how to motivate others to work with them. The Bible is full of passages that encourage us to work together to accomplish a common vision, yet many of us still insist on working alone out of mistrust or ignorance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTwo are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, for he has no one to help him up. Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; but how can one be warm alone? Though one may<\/span> be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.\u201d <\/i>\u2013 Ecclesiastes 4:9-12<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFor where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.\u201d<\/i> \u2013 Matthew 18:20<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n And the Lord God said, \u201cIt is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.\u201d<\/i> \u2013 Genesis 2:18<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n No one ever achieved success in the marketplace without a competent team of people to assist them. God never intended for us to work alone and independent of each other. In the Garden of Eden, it was God, not Adam, who noticed that Adam was alone and He decided to make Him a helper suitable for him. If you have a family, you must include them in the development and implementation of your business idea for they are the team the Lord has given you. Your spouse is your partner, whether or not he or she is actively involved in the business. Should something happen to you tomorrow, guess who must take responsibility for the business? Your spouse, of course, unless you have grown children who can handle it. Is your husband or wife prepared to do so? I have seen so many married entrepreneurs who, for whatever reason, operate their businesses independent of their spouse, which is always a recipe for disaster and even divorce. An uninvolved spouse can become jealous of the business and even feel insecure because he or she does not share that area of your life with you. It is your responsibility to involve them in what you are doing even if they act as though they are not interested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The prophet Elisha encouraged the widow in II Kings 4:4 to get the assistance of her children in manufacturing the products she sold in the market place to pay back her debt. He recognized that she could not accomplish this task by herself and her children needed to have ownership in the process. It also allowed her children to experience the supernatural power of God. The types of help you need in the development and growth of your business may<\/span> include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n In order to effectively get the help of others, you must be able to overcome the enemies of teamwork and togetherness, which include pride, shame, ignorance, self-confidence, and fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My prayer for you today is that God would give you genuine and meaningful connections in your life and in your business so that others and yourself can be in an atmosphere of community and teamwork.<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cThen go inside and shut the door behind you and your sons.
