Jesus was one of the greatest Men who ever lived and even though he lived for only 33 years, he was the Bible character who achieved the most things while alive
Now as a christian if someone told you that Jesus was a business man you may not understood where the person is coming from. But the truth is that even if we don't know Jesus as a business man, he still used business principles to achieve a lot of things during his earthly ministry
I talked about the Importace of attention in my post yesterday, and it was one of the things that palyed a vital role for Jesus.
For example, we all know that the Internet is filled with lots of content, but like I always ask, how many of those content are actually worth reading ?. We are in a period where people are actually hungry for good content, and the amount of people who can actually give that are becoming lesser by the day
Wisdom is the ability to discern difference
Most people pray for wisdom and understanding without actually knowing the deeper meaning of It. Wisdom is not just something you have, it is something your apply. Wisdom is the ability to take decisions, understanding is needed to endure the consequences of decisions
So what do you think are the business secrets of Jesus, how could he have achieved all he did within three and half years of ministry, the following are the business secrets of Jesus
Attention
Apart from his teachings, the miracles of Jesus was another thing that enabled him get the attention of many Israelites,and among those Miracles, feeding the five thousand was one that I am sure will pull crowds wherever he went
His content was very good, but when people also knew that there was a chance they will get physical food in addition to spiritual food, they had more reasons to go and listen to him talk
We all know that he fed the five thousand out of compassion, but it was an added bonus to his attention grabbing effort.
This does not take away the fact that his teachings were very refreshing and live changing to the jews who were already over burdned by the Law of Moses
Come unto me all you that are heavy laden and i will give you rest (Matthew 11:28)
Ask and you shall recieve (Matthew 7:7)
His revelation of a new dimension in people's walk with God, gained him attention. prior to his arrival people did not believe that they could have a personal relationship with God, they have always gone through the Priest
For your business to prosper you have to gain the attention of people
Problems
Jesus knew the problems of the people he was trying to reach. if you don't know the problems of the people that you are trying to reach, then you don't know why they need you in the first place
Knowledge in this aspect is the seed of attention. You must first research and know the problem that people are facing. You have to master the art of listenting.
When Jesus sat by the jacob well (John 4:6). He must have listened to the complaints of the women that came there to fetch water of how far the well was from the city. So when the samaritan women came, He told her
All who drink will be thirsty again. But whosoever drinks of the water that i give, will never be thirsty again
