2 Corinthians 9:6 states, “he who sows sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he who sows bountifully shall reap also bountifully.” What we get out is determined by how much effort we put in. Just like planting seeds, if you plant a few, you’ll get a small crop; if you plant a lot, you’ll get a large crop. Some Christians do not believe in hard work. They justify their laziness with scriptures such as Ecclesiastes 9:11. Of course, “time and chance” have their place; however, the observed pattern suggests that the harder you work, the better your chances of success.
Your current business results mirror your current efforts. If you desire significant growth, you must be willing to put in the necessary work. The grace of God is available, but grace requires that we put in the work (1 Corinthians 15:10). Building a million-dollar business demands more than a minimum-wage work ethic. Look at the successful entrepreneurs you admire—they’ve invested countless hours and relentless effort to achieve their goals. It’s time to reassess your approach and commit to working harder to attain the results you aspire to in your business endeavors.
So let us press on, keeping our eyes on the prize and trusting in God’s guidance every step of the way. You may need to seek feedback from trusted sources to determine whether you are working hard enough to achieve the desired results. For example, you might fantasize about attracting 1,000 customers within your company. A client-driven approach would necessitate strategies, tactics, and a strong desire to complete tasks. You cannot simply pray and wait for clients to arrive. To achieve the desired results, you must demonstrate a strong work ethic, discipline, and accountability.
