salesman's prayer....from jabez
 

and jabex called onthe God of israel saying,
:oh, that you would bless me indeed and
ENLARGE MY TERRITORY , and
that our hand would be with me,
and that you would keep me fromevil,
that I may not cause pain"

so , God granted him his request...


lots of stuff in that one ..huh?

ps...dont know if that is really from the bible, I just read it from a page torn out of a paper back book

Bob;

The quote is from 1 Chronicles 4:10, and reads as follows:

"Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil."

I have it in my office, my wife has it on the frig, and I keep a copy of it on the dashboard of my truck.

It's worth remembering, IMHO.

Re: salesman's prayer....from jabez
 

I'm not a complete stranger to the Bible (although you couldn't tell, sometimes) but I had never heard of the Prayer of Jabez until the popular book came out.
It was recommended by some Amway/Quixtar friends from a previous life.
I ordered the book from B&N and it came on a Saturday afternoon but didn't read it until that night.
I was knocked over.
The next day we had already planned on visiting a new church. Well, I was fired up about the book and when I saw a friend there, I asked him if he had ever heard of it.
His reply was "that is the basis of what we do here" or something like that.
I attend that church still, 6 years later.
Who says God doesn't guide us?

Re: salesman's prayer....from jabez
 

just out of curiousity...what brand of church is that ? think I would fit in there ...

Re: salesman's prayer....from jabez
 

It's a non-denominational church Harvest Community.

The church started about 7 years ago in a garage with about 3 families.
Today, I'm guessing weekly attendance is around 400+
Keep in mind, we're in a very small town.
Very mission oriented.
If you're ever near Kittanning Pa., stop in; e'd love to see you.

Your own "Church of Business"
 

Bob...

No offense to any religion here...

But Thought I'd "Twist" this thread a little...

Think about opening...

Your own "Church of Business" :)

It's a Niche...

Few are Doing Locally. ;)

Churches are also Great for Networking and Pre-selling...

Who Knows... maybe business opportunities and other Nichier markets!

And if you Creatively Joint Venture with Churches and Give/Donate part of the Profits...

You're in the "Church of Business" :)
