PURPOSE
The purpose of Lumotiv is to honor God by creating value in the Oil and Gas space.
The Lumotiv operating principles are born from biblical principles. The 3 primary principles (below), all work together under the construct of stewardship.
While it is unusual to see biblical principles as the foundation for a business, reasonable people can see the expectations here are useful in creating value.
On that note, the Apostle Paul wrote a letter to Titus describing the type of person required to be a steward: “For an overseer, as God’s steward, must be above reproach. He must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain, but hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined.”
While this letter was instruction for the church, specifically, we see it as a correct application in who a leader must be in business to successfully manage people, finances, and assets.
Within that context of being a good steward, here are three principle ways to be a good steward…
01. Be humble.
Philippians 2.3 calls for doing nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. There’s no better principle for serving others and building trust.
02. Work heartily.
Colossians 3.23 calls for working heartily as for the Lord and not for men. That’s important because it focuses the work on the highest of standards...God’s. Everyone wins.
03. Use discipline.
Hebrews 12.11 calls people to be disciplined because of the good fruit it delivers. Discipline is a critical attribute in creating value.
