Why Christians should support and choose Christian businesses when buying stuff they need?
When I grew up in Iraq it was always an easy choice when we needed
to buy stuff or services,in my family and most of the other Christian families the priority was always to Christian shops, companies, doctors, dentists,pharmacies, restaurants, photographers ...ect
The major reason in my opinion was to support each other and because these people were the most honest , skillful,hard workers and up to date in their profession.
Of course, we used all the other groups and never discriminate based on religious or ethnic reasons.
When I started for almost 2 years ago my printing company: https://www.hanaaglobal.com/
I was faced with a harsh reality in Norway. Most of the services I needed for running my company were owned by non-Christians and they tried their best to hinder my business from even being established.
I was in shock that non-Christians control almost everything and Christians are in need of them and not the other way around as the bible teaches.
We are the very ones who should be having dominion and authority over everything in this world yet others have someway managed to take their place
So all the services I needed were provided by non-Christians.
After the resistance, I faced to even get started and the ongoing attacks on my business,
I realized the root of the problem was the fear the non-Christians have concerning believers providing high-quality services and products, competing in the market, and gaining more influence and money.
Imagine how many Christian companies and persons had to give up their dream because of the resistance they faced and the lack of support they experienced from Christian customers?
That is why it is very important for Christians to support other Christian businesses so that we will build together with our own services another alternative for believers instead of being totally dependent on unbelievers to supply what we are more than able to do.
Many times I was denied certain services and I had to find alternatives outside Norway to keep running my business and it was done at a higher cost.
What if in the future you will face the same problem and certain services are denied for you and your family because of your faith? where will you get what you need when you need it?
I encourage you to consider my shop for buying gifts and other stuff so that you can get the best products and services, help in sharing the gospel and God's kingdom would advance in this world for God's glory.
In the book of Acts, we see this principle practiced very clearly when all believers supported each other and "none of them lacked anything" although they were persecuted fiercely.
