The first mandate of man towardsentrepreneurship is as seen in Gen 2: 15

of His children a special and unique

talent/skill that provides a solution to

mans ever increasing problems


8/20

If God has given us an example of

entrepreneurship and his word tells us we

are made in His image and after hislikeness then it goes without saying that

we have no reason but to follow His

example. His word tells us this ye are gods! this

means we are definitely able to do that

which Jesus Christ did

Jesus was the son of a carpenter and He

worked as a carpenter before his ministry

started

What is it that you do without stress of

thinking twice?

Or what are those things you wish you

could do? What problem do you see around you and

you think you have a solution to?


12/20

Developing through Investment Learning is a constant thing that never ends

Before Jesus started his ministry he invested

his time in learning at the synagogue

There is a never ending debate of whetherleaders are born or made; the answer is yes

to both

The same goes for entrepreneurs; anentrepreneur is born and made

Born through inheritance and made through

learning


13/20

Setting your vision

Write your vision

Make it simple

People should be able to understand it Make it time bound

Your vision should be able to speak

stand the test of time

money in areas outside their profession

List the things you enjoy doing

Itemize the skills you have acquired over

the years

Building Blocks

Rome was not built in a day neither did God

complete creation in a day

However Creation and Rome was built aday at a time and a block at a time

Ibi pelebe ni a ti n mu ole je When eating

moi moi you take it from the flat end Solomons greatness was built over time

Jesus ministry was built over time


16/20

Nigeria a Land of milk and

honey

The population alone means whatever you sell

you will find people to buy

The lack of jobs means there are a lot of gaps

that exist for people to fill

Advancement in technology means

information are available at our beck and call

All we need do is be willing to work hard and

work SMART


17/20

Therefore

What we need are Obedience to Gods command to dress and

keep

Identifying and investing in becoming abetter person through learning

Setting goals and visions that we can meet

and working towards meeting them Building a block at a time and creating a

business out of the gift that God has given

us


18/20

Remember

3 men were given talents in the bible

Two made use of them and werepromoted

1 did not and was demoted

We do not have an excuse to be without a

job God has promised to bless the work of

our hand


19/20

Like Elijah said to the woman who came

to him for help God is asking today

What do you have that He can bless! I leave you with this God has given us the

Power to make wealth!
