The Ultimate Kingdom Principle
The ultimate kingdom principle is Love. The ultimate
economic principle is love. Would you like to start a business that could not
fail? “Love never fails.” To the degree that you implement love into your
business, you cannot fail. This would begin with a love for your product or
service. Then love your customers by always treating them right—righteously and
with justice, which are the two foundational principles of God’s Throne and Kingdom.
If you loved your neighbors, including your neighboring businesses, you would
help create an atmosphere that would draw others and you would prosper.
So love is the most powerful economic principle, and
love is personal. Would you like to hear your spouse say that they love you
because it is the law of the collective? Like it or not, believe it or not, you
will love your kids more than the neighbor’s kids, though you can love the
neighbor’s kids too. Likewise, the families that are the greatest blessing to
the community are the strongest families, which are inevitably made up of the
strongest, most secure individuals.
This is a basic Kingdom principle. No one will be
saved because they are the children of parents who know The Lord. There are
still nations where most of the people think they are saved because they are
citizens of a “Christian nation.” They are sadly mistaken.
You will not be saved because your nation, or even
your family, served The Lord. We must each serve Him. We must each be born
again, and we are each personally responsible for loving The Lord and others,
and for our actions. As we mature in this personal responsibility, we will be a
blessing to others. The more we mature, the more we will bless. But it starts
with each one of us personally. It starts with the individual.
