In Zambia, the year 2023 boasts a plethora of entrepreneurial endeavors. Those who venture onto this path are often influenced by the Bible and its stories of successful entrepreneurs, such as Joseph and Esther. These two figures are prime examples of initiative, as Joseph used God’s wisdom to take control of Egypt’s affairs (Genesis 41:41-43) and Esther boldly approached the king to rescue her people (Esther 4:14). Christians who follow their lead are encouraged to take action with conviction.
The proactive attitude of Joseph and Esther mirror the encouragement of committing plans to the Lord found in Proverbs 16:3. Trusting in God’s orchestration of success emphasizes the divine importance of seizing opportunities and working diligently.
Embrace initiative and trust in God’s guidance as Christian entrepreneurs, owners, and workers. Recall Joseph and Esther’s narratives and let them inspire your journey. Align your efforts with a purpose greater than yourself by working diligently and reflecting the timeless wisdom of Scripture.
