I've been writing a series called “Kingdom Businessman Blueprint,” where I'm revealing how to build businesses that last and leave an impact that points back to God.
Every man wants to leave a legacy, but too often we measure success by wealth, power, or status. God measures it differently.
A man’s true success isn’t measured by his bank account or business title—it’s measured by what he builds that outlasts him. God didn’t just call Adam to fill the earth with achievements—he called him to fill the earth with God’s image.
As Christian businessmen, we have to ask ourselves: What are we really building? Will people remember a man of faith and integrity or just a businessman chasing profits?
LEAVING A LEGACY FOR MY KIDS
When I first started realizing the Bible was a big book of business, I wrote my discoveries in a journal. But then I thought - the world needs to know the gold that I'm uncovering here! Other entrepreneurs could benefit from the wisdom being revealed to me, so I launched my blog, DailyGodpreneur.com.
I decided to publicly write what God was revealing to me because I knew the insights would be timeless. I figured if I put it on the Internet, somehow it would be locked in time forever. I knew that 20 years from now, my kids would be entrepreneurs and they could learn from my business experiences.
Without realizing it, I was doing something even greater: I was writing and blogging to build a legacy for future generations of Godpreneurs - beyond my own kids!
MORE MONEY, MORE LEGACY?
We live in a culture that tells us our success in entrepreneurship is measured by profit, power, and prestige. We’re conditioned to think that the bigger the paycheck, the greater the legacy.
But that’s not how God sees it.
The reality is, you can build a multimillion-dollar business and still leave behind nothing that matters. If your wealth disappears, will anyone still be impacted by your life?
In Genesis 1:28, God gave Adam a mission of legacy:
"God blessed them and said to them, ‘Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it.’"
God didn’t tell Adam to amass power or wealth. He didn’t tell him to build monuments to himself. God called Adam to fill the earth with God’s image—to multiply God’s presence and values through his work and his family.
The question is: Are we doing the same?
GOD’S CALL TO LEGACY-BUILDERS
As men of faith, we are called to build something that outlasts us—something that points back to God.
When Jesus summarized the commandments, He boiled it down to this: Love God and love people (Matthew 22:35-40). That’s the foundation of a lasting legacy.
…Adam wasn’t commissioned to build an empire—he was called to reproduce God’s image.
…Abraham wasn’t just called to be blessed—he was called to be a blessing to all nations.
…Paul didn’t just establish churches—he trained up leaders who would continue the mission long after he was gone.
A true legacy doesn’t just show what you achieved—it shows who you discipled. It’s not about leaving behind assets; it’s about leaving behind a strong foundation of faith.
WHAT'S YOUR LEGACY?
Take a hard look at your life and business: What are you building?
Are you pouring your energy into accumulating wealth or into multiplying God’s impact?
Are you focused on being remembered as successful or being remembered as faithful?
Are you mentoring others, discipling your family, and using your business to advance God’s kingdom?
If your influence fades when you’re gone, it means you built on the wrong foundation. It’s time to shift from personal success to kingdom significance.
I've found my way of building a legacy through my blog. I felt God telling me back in 2014 that He wants me to find and tell all the business lessons that are in the Bible. That's my own personal legacy building tool.
What will yours be?
Maybe you're not a writer like me. Maybe yours isn't going to be so public like mine. Yours could be focused on one-to-one discipleship of employees in your company. Yours could be helping plant a church or start a ministry or launch a non-profit.
That's what you need to keep in prayer.
WE'RE ALL CALLED TO LEGACY BUILDING
Imagine if Christian businessmen all over the world chose to build with legacy in mind.
If they focused less on profit margins and more on discipleship.
If they made kingdom values the foundation of their business.
If they raised up leaders who could continue the mission.
That’s how kingdom business works. That’s how you build something that points to God.
But legacy doesn’t just happen by chance. You have to protect what you’ve built.
That’s why in Phase 8, we’ll talk about Fortifying the Foundation—because lasting impact requires intentional protection.
Are you ready for the final phase? Let’s go.
We are a homeschool family, my husband and I have taken on the charge to raise our children, training and educating them according to Gods ways. I am in the process of creating a financial literacy class for my middle school children and remembered your emails, I wanted to add them into our module on entrepreneurship. I think youre blog is full of truth and can't wait to add it as a resource to our lesson. May God Bless You and Keep you!
