The Sin of Avarice

August 07, 20243 min read

Avarice = Greed

In the pursuit of success, it's easy to fall into the trap of avarice—an excessive or insatiable desire for wealth or gain. As Christian women entrepreneurs, it's essential to recognize and overcome the sin of avarice to maintain a healthy, God-centered approach to our businesses. The Bible offers profound wisdom on this topic, guiding us to seek contentment and generosity instead of succumbing to greed.

Understanding the Sin of Avarice

Avarice, or greed, is condemned in the Bible as it leads us away from God’s purposes. In 1 Timothy 6:10, we read, “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.” This verse reminds us that an unhealthy obsession with wealth can lead to spiritual downfall and personal sorrow.

Applying Biblical Principles in Business

  1. Pursuing Contentment: Philippians 4:11-12 teaches, “I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation.” As entrepreneurs, it's crucial to find satisfaction in what we have, recognizing that true wealth comes from our relationship with God.

  2. Embracing Generosity: Proverbs 11:24-25 says, “One person gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.” Generosity opens doors to blessings and builds a positive reputation, attracting more opportunities for growth.

  3. Trusting in God's Provision: Matthew 6:33 encourages us, “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” When we prioritize God's kingdom and righteousness, we can trust that He will provide for our needs, freeing us from the grip of avarice.

Practical Tips for Overcoming Avarice in Business

  • Regular Self-Examination: Regularly reflect on your motivations and desires. Are they aligned with God’s will or driven by greed?

  • Practice Generosity: Make a habit of giving, whether it's through tithing, supporting charitable causes, or helping others in need.

  • Cultivate Gratitude: Maintain a gratitude journal to remind yourself of God's blessings and provision in your life and business.

By overcoming the sin of avarice and embracing biblical principles, we can lead our businesses with integrity, purpose, and a heart aligned with God's will.

Our Signature Method That Has Generated

Millions for our Clients

Seek

Phase 1 we step back and look at your life, your faith and your calling. We teach you how to hear the Holy Spirit, learn how to productively rest and learn how to hear the cries of your people so we can serve them.

Serve

Phase 2 you get clarity on how you are called to serve. We look at branding, setting up email marketing, landing pages, messaging and content creation. You learn the language of the people you are called to serve, how they describe their problems and what they need to be helped.

Sell

Phase 3 is where we teach you sales skills and the sales process as well as set up all your systems in order to take payment and make your online presence automated so that you can spend your time serving your people.

Scale

Phase 4 is to increase your product suite and also her your team. We teach a process of hiring unpaid college interns as your first onboards so that you can learn leadership and also help the next generation learn business.

Send

Phase 5 is to create a succession plan for your business. Are you planning on selling? Passing it to your children? Is the income meant to help you in retirement or just get by? Are you planning on leaving a legacy with this business?

Sounds like a lot, huh?

While it can feel like a lot to step into those bold callings, we don't do it alone. This is what makes us different. We always lean into the Word of God for our source of strength and teach all levels and denominations of faith what it means to bring the Holy Spirit FIRE

into your life.
