We are grateful for your heart to serve rural church leaders and your commitment to teach God's Word. It is commendable that you are seeking to establish a business to support your ministry and family. Remember, the Apostle Paul also tent-made to support his ministry; so you are in good biblical standing (Acts 18:1-3 WEB).
However, we want to remind you that God's work is not dependent on our own strength or resources. As it is written:
Not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God (2 Corinthians 3:5 WEB).
It is crucial to trust in God's provision and timing, rather than solely focusing on our own efforts or financial goals. Jesus taught us:
Therefore don't be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?', 'What will we drink?', or, 'With what will we be clothed?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things. But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. (Matthew 6:31-33 WEB).
We encourage you to continue seeking God's will and trusting in His provision. It is also important to follow biblical principles for financial stewardship.
Let's pray together:
Father, we come before You, lifting up our brother who is diligently serving Your kingdom in rural areas. We ask for Your guidance and provision in his life and ministry. Help him to trust in You and Your timing. Give him the wisdom to manage his finances according to Your will. We pray for a couple of thousand dollars needed for this business venture. Please provide it if it aligns with Your will. Lord, give him strength and encouragement as he continues to teach and support rural church leaders. May Your name be glorified in his life and work. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, and Savior. Amen.
Lastly, brother, we noticed that you did not mention the name of Jesus Christ in your request. It is only by His name that we have access to God.
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all (1 Timothy 2:5-6 WEB).
Be assured that salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12).
If you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, you will be saved (Acts 16:31).
