MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS

GOD HAS GIVEN YOU A BUSINESS.

LUKE 16: 1-21 Jesus told his disciples: “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions. 2 So he called him in and asked him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your management, because you cannot be manager any longer.’

Manager - oikonomos - overseer,

one who has charge of the affairs or household, an office of trust and

confidence.

GENESIS 2: 1515 The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.

DEUTERONOMY 10:1414 To the LORD your God belong the

heavens, even the highest heavens, the earth and everything in it.

PSALMS 50:10-1110 for every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. 11 I know every bird in the mountains, and the insects in the fields are mine.

LUKE 12:42-4442 The Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their food allowance at the proper time? 43 It will be good for that servant whom the master finds doing so when he returns. 44 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

JOHN 6:1212 When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.”

Pag sulit, kahit mahal, hindi yun pag-aaksaya,

hindi yun sayang.

(c)WE SPEND FOOLISHLY

LUKE 16: 88 The  master  commended  the  dishonest manager  because  he  had  acted  shrewdly. For  the  people  of  this  world  are  more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the people of the light.

PROVERBS 21:2020 The wise store up choice food and olive oil, but fools gulp theirs down.

PROVERBS 11:1515 Whoever puts up security for a stranger will surely suffer, but whoever refuses to shake hands in pledge is safe.

PROVERBS 24:3-43 By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established;4 through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures.

LUKE 12:47-4847 “The servant who knows the master’s will and does not get ready or does not do what the master wants will be beaten with many blows. 48 But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.

(2)YOU CAN BEFAITHFUL.

LUKE 16: 10-1110 “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. 11 So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?

BUSINESS PLAN

MISSION

If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

Every money problem is an issue of the heart.

GOALS

(5)PLAN FOR DOWN

TIMES

(6)PROFIT SHARING

You are blessed, to be a blessing.

You are destined to live in the overflow.
