Bible Reading: Isaiah 55:10

Memory Verse: For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you. 2 Corinthians 9:10 (NLT)

It was Apostle Orokpo who shared a testimony to correct an abnormally amongst brethren. He said a young man used to work for him. A day came he went to the Apostle to report that he will be going for NYSC soon. In a bid to give him all the necessary support that will help me settle down, Apostle gave him ₦150,000 for his accommodation and ₦1 million to invest in any business of his choice when he’s fully settled.

After the one-year compulsory service, Apostle was waiting to hear good news of how his business was doing but didn’t get any update.

When they eventually met, the young man excitedly told him that he used that one million seed capital he gave him to sponsor a Crusade in the community he was sent to serve.

He was expecting an applause from the Apostle but he got a rebuke. “That money is a seed not the harvest,” Apostle told him. Except the Holy Spirit specifically told you, not a third-party telling you, but you heard directly from Him and Him alone, your BUSINESS CAPITAL is a sacred thing you MUST not touch.

There are so many things you don’t do and should not do with your business capital:

1. You don’t sow ‘dangerous seed’ with your business capital.

2. You don’t sow your employees’ salaries as a seed.

3. You don’t loan someone your business capital.

4. You don’t bet with your business capital.

5. You don’t put all your business capital in one business you are not too sure of. And even when you are sure, you need to be careful.

6. You don’t marry with your business capital.

7. You don’t take a chieftaincy title in your village with your business capital.

8. You don’t pay house rent or build a residential home with your business capital.

9. You don’t buy land with your business capital.

Your business capital is sacred and must not be touched anyhow. Your business capital is a seed. When you eat the seed, you will have no harvest and when you eat part of the seed, your harvest will be limited.

God will rarely ask you to give Him your business capital because He’s a God of principle. What God demands from us when it has to do with using our finances for kingdom service is to include His work and servants in our financial budget/plan.

But many out of overzealousness, ego and as a victim of fake testimonies of miracle money has given out their business capital only to be plunged into untold hardship and still turnaround to blame God.

Giving out all the money in your bank account is not the same as giving away your business capital.

Quote: Even zeal is no good without knowledge, and he who hurries his footsteps misses the mark – Proverbs 19:2 (BSB)
