Proverbs 11:10 The whole city celebrates when the godly succeeds, they shout for joy when the wicked die
Wicked: Morally bad in principle or practice, intensely or extremely bad or unpleasant in degree or quality
Godly: Emanating from God
James 1:17 (NIV) Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
We can categorize businesses into two “Wicked” businesses and “Godly” businesses, and for this post they’ll be defined thus:
Wicked business: A business which is morally bad in principle or practice and produces goods and services unpleasant in quality
Godly business: A business that provides good and perfect gifts (goods & Services) which do not vary in quality, both in principle and in the nature of their gifts.
These two business categories are observational; they are not self-attributed but are observed or perceived by the customers and beneficiaries of a business.
The reaction of those around us during our periods of success or failure serve as a great determinant of our worth.
If those who are meant to be the primary beneficiaries of your business rejoice or are apathetic when there is a rumor of a crash or an impending collapse of your business it is an indicator that the business is tending towards or is a “wicked business”. “Godly” businesses stir great emotion in the hearts of those around them, the people are usually empathetic towards its cause, rejoicing when it flourishes & apprehensive when it goes through tough times, often times causing the beneficiaries to stick out their necks to save the business.
Position your business towards “godliness” and the entire city would stand behind you and watch you succeed.
