Building a business vision that goes global, requires patience. It’s easy to feel discouraged when progress seems slow, but great achievements take time. Like the farmer who plants seeds and waits for the harvest, your vision needs nurturing and persistence. James 5:7 reminds us to “be patient… see how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth.” Many give up too soon, jumping from one “business opportunity” to another without giving their initial ideas time to mature. Wealth and success are not about haste; they are about steady effort and trusting the process that God has set in motion.
Habakkuk 2:2-3 teaches on the importance of writing your vision, making it clear, and waiting patiently for its appointed time. “Though it lingers, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay.” Building a global brand or thriving business requires time and dedication. Consider companies like Access Bank, Coca-Cola or Amazon, which took decades of consistent effort to achieve their renown. They stayed the course, improving little by little until their vision became a reality. Your business can follow the same trajectory if you focus on clarity, discipline, and the long-term impact of your efforts.
Great achievements require perseverance and faith. Consider the lives of successful entrepreneurs or even biblical figures like Joseph, who spent years refining their skills and waiting for their moment. Building wealth and fulfilling your vision is more like running a marathon than a sprint. Stay disciplined, manage your resources wisely, and keep trusting God to guide you. As Galatians 6:9 encourages us, “Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” Stay the course, and your business will flourish in its time.
