BUSINESS IS BUSINESS

Not if you are a kingdom businessman, it's not! If you are a kingdom businessman your business is ministry. The phrase business is business is usually spoken when a businessman has just hardened his heart in a business deal which caused a hardship on someone else. Phony smiles and slaps on the back are all part of the job, until the final settlement, then the smile turns to a smirk and the sarcastic phrase that turns people cold, "business is business!" This phrase is never used in this context, by true Christian businessmen! The kingdom businessman works for Me and the customer is being ministered too. 

A demonstration of love in business is as unusual as snow in the tropics. If you say your life belongs to Me and you are a businessman then your business belongs to Me. You may have a business and "even dole out all that you have to the poor in providing food, surrender your body to be burned or in order that I may glory, but have not My love in you for your customers, you gain nothing." 1 Corinthians 13:3 AMP

The businessman "who will dwell permanently with Me: [2] Walks and lives uprightly and blamelessly, He works rightness and justice and speaks and thinks the truth in his heart. [3] He who does not slander with his tongue, nor does he do evil to his friend, nor takes up a reproach against his neighbor; [4] He despises a vile person, and he honors those who fear the Lord (who revere and worship Him); The kingdom businessman who swears to his own hurt and does not change; will have My favor, at all times.  [5] He is one who does not lend out his money for interest to one of his own friends and He will not take a bribe against the innocent. The Kingdom businessman shall never be moved." Psalm 15:1-5 AMP

If you see a way to take advantage of another and you take it, I will disown your business, and remove My favor from all that you do. However if My love is the motivation of your business "you will be blessed in the city and blessed in your field of business. [4] Blessed shall be your children, and I will increase My business and any new ventures. [6] Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out. [7] I will cause your dishonest competitors and customers, who come against you, to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways. [8] I shall command the blessing upon you in your bank account and in all that you undertake. And I will bless you in the land which I give you." Deuteronomy 28:3-4,6-8
