📖 “Do you see a man diligent in his business? He will stand before kings; he will not stand before mean men.” —Proverbs 22:29
This week at Kingdom Masterclass, Dr. Rodney Howard-Browne shared his wisdom on 12 powerful points on diligence in business. True success isn’t just about reaching the top—it’s about staying there with integrity and faithfulness.
1️⃣ Diligence brings promotion, but laziness after success brings decline. “He becomes poor who works with a slack and idle hand, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.” —Proverbs 10:4 Stay actively involved in your business, perform regular financial assessments, and surround yourself with skilled, competent people.
2️⃣ Pride comes before the fall. “Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.” —Proverbs 16:18 Stay humble and accountable to others. Submit to wise counsel and always remember that success is a gift, not a right.
3️⃣ Ignoring God leads to loss of purpose. “What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” —Mark 8:36 Seek God’s direction daily. Make time for prayer and Scripture to ensure your business and life stay aligned with His purpose.
4️⃣ Generosity sustains wealth—stinginess leads to lack. “There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth…” —Proverbs 11:24 Generosity builds long-term wealth. Teach your children to value generosity, and fund things that align with eternal purposes.
5️⃣ Poor stewardship ruins dynasties. “Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.” —1 Corinthians 4:2 Be a faithful steward. Build long-term financial plans and ensure that your legacy is built on principles of wisdom and faithfulness.
6️⃣ Misplaced trust in riches ends in regret. “He that trusteth in his riches shall fall…” —Proverbs 11:28 Trust God, not wealth. Diversify your assets and remember that your net worth is not your value.
🔥 These principles set the foundation on becoming a millionaire, a soulenaire, or both. In Part 2, we’ll talk about accountability, the power of rest, and what it truly means to build for eternity.
