A Christian Entrepreneur is a disciple of Jesus
Christ who has chosen to “express himself” or fulfil his stewardship by setting
up a business venture to provide essential products or services that will meet
the need of, as well as add value to, an identified market (people) in the
society.
WHAT ARE THE QUALITIES OF A CHRISTIAN ENTREPRENEUR? ¡ He is a steward
1 Corinthians 4:2: Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found
faithful ¡ He is a Non-compromiser ¡ He is a Non-conformist with the popular
conventions of business practice ¡ He is a Faithful Servant Matthew 24:45-47:
Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his
household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his
lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you, that he shall
make him ruler over all his goods. ¡ He is a Treasurer ¡ He is a
Minister/Evangelist in the marketplace Acts 1:8: But you shall receive power
when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in
Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. ¡ He
personifies Love in his offerings and dealings The integrative principle that
must guide Christians in the marketplace is that of love. ¡ Love compels
Christians to put their faith into action and to live what they believe. ¡ Love
will motivate Christians in the marketplace to follow the example of Christ in
the incarnation. ¡ It will move them to identify with those who are lost and
alone in a dark world. ¡ It will allow them to share in the sufferings of those
they care for and by bringing the presence of Christ into the marketplace also
bring transformation and hope.
