Famous Entrepreneurs:
Kings Who Get Things Done

Many famous entrepreneurs will never identify themselves as "kings". It isn't ecumenically correct to view oneself above others. In fact Jesus said that he who is greatest among you shall be your servant.

Jesus was referring to unselfish motives when He said that he who is least among you all will be great.

This is true. When you think about benevolent kings they are the greatest servants of all. Perfect? No. Neither was king David... a man after God's own heart.

They have the best interests of the people they serve people at heart. They are courageous.

Jesus Himself is the King of kings and the greatest Servant of all. If we are to be like Him... we need to rethink what it means to be a king.

Here we are skiing on our land near Grand Teton National Park. It was the famous entrepreneur John D. Rockefeller of Standard Oil who donated this land for the benefit of all to enjoy.

How would it make you feel to create one of the world's most famous National Parks. What a legacy!

Entrepreneurs Are Kings

Scripture tells us Christ redeemed us to God by His blood and has made us kings and priests to our God; and we shall reign on the earth.

Why do we say famous entrepreneurs are kings? Because they have the heart of a king. They think and act like kings.

Kings build kingdoms that benefit others... kings get things done. Entrepreneurs build businesses that benefit others... entrepreneurs get things done.

They create wealth that overflows to bless others. They lead. They risk. They take responsibility. We have some friends who are true kings, though they would never promote themselves as such.

Kingdom of God Built by Kings

Let's think about a couple things. How many priests can you remember in the Bible who did great things for God? Now how many kings do you remember who did great things for God?

There are fifteen books in scripture that record what leaders and kings did for the Kingdom of God.

Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Saul, David, Solomon, Jehoshaphat, Hezekiah, Josiah... just to mention a few. It was and is the kings who God often uses to get things done for His Kingdom on earth.

They worked with the priests and prophets. We need to return to the example we find in scripture. God ordained kings, priests and prophets. When they worked together for the glory of God great things were accomplished.

You can become an entrepreneur... famous for being used by God to change people's lives. Find out more about what it takes to become an entrepreneur.
