There is something truly powerful about a businessman that prays. Prayer unlocks insight. Meditation brings clarity. When a person invests time in seeking God about their business, what they receive is not just inspiration. It is intelligence. In Isaiah 48:17, the Lord says, “I am the Lord your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you in the way you should go.” This is not poetic talk. It is a promise of divine strategy. There is profit in the path God shows you, and only prayer and meditation can uncover that path.
There are too many generic businesses in our economy today. Same product, same design, same model, same talk. What makes yours different? If your business operates just like every other business in your space, it is a sign that you’ve not prayed enough. When you spend time in the place of prayer, you receive unique insight and concepts that give you a true advantage. A young Nigerian fashion entrepreneur once shared how, during a personal retreat, the Holy Spirit gave her the exact name, design line, and campaign idea that ended up opening international doors for her. Ideas are powerful. But prayer-birthed ideas are unstoppable.
Make it a rule to invest at least 10 hours every week praying over your business pursuits. That’s like one and half hours everyday. As you pray, be expectant. Keep a journal. Listen. Meditate. Ask God for insight and wait until light breaks forth. You can also try discussing your business and ideas within trusted circles. You don’t need to run your business by guesswork when you have access to divine wisdom. The business that prays will always stand taller than the business that doesn’t. In a world full of noise, may your business carry the mark of heaven. A business that is distinct, excellent, and inspired.
