God's blessing for your success is not based on societal biases

Daily Word - Unfortunately, in society the way you look (physical characteristics, weight, height, gender, race, etc.) can be an advantage if you have the look society deems attractive. If you don't have the look society desires, then that can be a disadvantage in climbing the ladder of success. However, none of that matters to God because God's blessing for your success is not based on societal biases. Links - Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Following the Holy Ghost is practical business advice

Daily Word - Many times, when we need business advice, we seek out the latest guru. Yes, human input is important. However, your best source of advice will always be the Holy Ghost. Without His guidance, your likelihood of success is quite low. Links - Sunday Services, Online Community, Partnership

Is the anointing for that assignment gone?

Daily Word - It is critical for us to stay aware of God's current assignments in our life. This is important because when God ends one assignment and instructs us to undertake another, He removes His anointing from the old assignment and transfers it to the new one. If we miss the transition, He does not force us to stop the old assignment. He will allow us to keep going without His anointing. However, this is not a good situation for us because without the anointing, that same assignment that used to be fun and full of success will turn bitter, stress us out, and drive us to depression.

It's not the tools or techniques!

Daily Word - Entrepreneurs have a tendency to buy the latest business tools and seek out the newest marketing techniques. We do this in an attempt to create success in our business. However, we achieve success not because of the tools or techniques we acquire, but because of the anointing. Links - Atlanta, Online Community, Partnership

A level of holiness is a prerequisite for leadership

Daily Word - The body of Christ is learning about Grace and how God accepts us just as we are. This means that "getting our lives right" is not a prerequisite for salvation or receiving God's love. However, if we desire to lead and succeed in our calling, then our lifestyle has to line up with how God designed us to live (aka living holy). In fact, living at a certain level of holiness is a prerequisite for leadership in the Kingdom of God. As leaders, we are held to a higher standard. Links - Atlanta, Online Community, Partnership

Alone time with God needs to increase as success increases

Daily Word - As you become more successful, your time is going to be more in demand from clients, new opportunities, requests for partnerships, and people asking for advice. To stay centered with God and not become overwhelmed, we need to take intentional long-periods of time to be alone with God. Links - Atlanta, Online Community, Partnership

Stop so you can move forward

Daily Word - For most of us, we are doing a lot of things, striving to succeed in our calling. Some things God called us to do and other things we decided to do. However, in either case, when God drops insight in your spirit for a new opportunity or direction, there is a strong possibility that He is also telling us we need to stop doing some things. He tells us to stop doing some things so that we can free up time and resources for the new thing He desires us to do. Links - Atlanta, Online Community, Partnership

Your sins are forgiven

Daily Word - You may need to open up your heart to really hear today's message because Satan has done a great job of convincing believers that they are sinners. When you accepted Jesus as Lord of your life, you stopped being a sinner and became righteous. This means that all your past, present, and future sins are forgiven. You don't need to constantly ask for forgiveness, see yourself as unworthy, or wonder if you are going to heaven. Links - Atlanta, Online Community, Partner

God made me rich

Daily Word - Awhile back I had a dream. In the dream, on my clothes were written the words, "God made me rich." After waking up, the interpretation came to me. God wanted me to boldly declare (in a visible way) to everyone who was the source of my prosperity. However, this vision is not just for me — it is for you as well. Links - Atlanta, Join, Partner

Anointed growth needs HER

Daily Word - Welcome to 2022. At our last service of last year, I shared that the word for 2022 is Grow. In this year of growth, there is a specific anointing from God to grow in our calling. This word means that for some of us, it's time to start something new within our calling. For others, it's time to re-start some old things that were put on the shelf, and for most of us, it's time to reach more people. Our motto, for us to say to ourselves to build our faith to grow, is: it's time. However, anointed growth is not based on hustle, but on grace. This means we can't forget about HER - Hearing God's instructions for growth, Executing what we hear, and Relaxing after we do what we heard. Links - Atlanta, Online Community, Partner

Value the Word of God over taking action

Daily Word - In our entrepreneurial culture, when we want results, our go-to catchphrase is "take massive action." However, in many cases, the best course of action to experience results is to take no action and just immerse ourselves in the word of God. This is especially true when you find yourself frequently worried and frustrated. Links - Join, Partner

Worry is very destructive to your life

Daily Word - Worry may seem innocent, but it is very destructive in the life of a believer. Worry blocks your faith and is a sign that you don't trust God. With blocked faith and a lack of trust, you will lack the power that can fix whatever situation you are worried about. In today's message, discover Jesus's perspective on worry and how He taught us to combat worrying. Links - Join, Partner

You will take a few hits following your calling

Daily Word - Just because God called you to do it doesn't mean you won't take a few hits while following your calling. We have a real enemy who doesn't want you to succeed. So, when you experience dumps in the road of calling, don't give up. Allow Holy Spirit to guide you around or through the dumps in the road. Links - Join, Partner

The new commandment Jesus gave us

Daily Word - A commandment is defined as a rule to be observed strictly. The old covenant is full of commandments, whereas commandments are minimal in the new covenant. So when Jesus says He has a commandment for us, we need to pay attention. Therefore, in today's Daily Word, we are examining what Jesus calls the "new" commandment He has given us.

Faith does not care about inequalities

Daily Word - Many countries in our world have systematic inequalities where some people are held back and others are promoted based on race, gender, age, education, etc. This shouldn't be, but one day God dropped into my spirit that faith does not care about inequalities. The simple interpretation of this is that we succeed in life through our faith, regardless of any worldly inequalities. Links - Join, Partner

Merry Christmas - It is because of Jesus not your actions

Merry Christmas everyone. Thanks for your prayers and encouraging words as my family and I overcome COVID. It's Christmas day, and I have a short message I want to deliver to you. The message is that it is because of Jesus, not your actions. Many Christians believe that their actions make them worthy or unworthy to receive things from Jesus. However, that is far from the truth. We receive the desires of our heart- healing, finances, relationships, etc. -because Jesus loves us. The receiving system is set up in our favor. We just need to bring Jesus faith or lean on His compassion to receive the things we desire.

Is it the "Door" or the "Key"

Daily Word - I am tackling the question of manifestation. In particular, why hasn't the manifestation of a promise of God happen for you yet? To explore the answer, God gave me an analogy of a "door" and a "Key." Take a listen and discover the major reason behind the lack of manifestation. Links - Join, Partner

Seedfaith harvest

Daily Word - God uses natural laws to teach us spiritual laws. Take, for instance, the natural law of seedtime and harvest. You sow a seed in the ground, give it some time, and wait for the harvest. This mirrors the spiritual law of sowing a seed and producing a harvest. However, in the spiritual version, it is not time that produces the harvest; it is your faith. Links - Join, Partner

How to create a happy and exciting marriage within the next 6 months

Daily Word - God didn't design marriage to be depressing and unfulfilling. However, because marriage is between two imperfect people, marriage can easily become unfun and difficult. In today's message, I am presenting a six-month process to turn a marriage from drudgery to happiness and excitement. This is important because there is a connection between having a happy marriage and succeeding in a God-given calling. Links - Join, Partner

Don't allow the culture to convert you to their religion

Daily Word - A religion is a belief system that explains life to its followers. Every human and every culture has a religion. For example, one belief system says that humans evolved from lower life forms. Another belief system says humans can have sex with whomever they desire without rules. As Christians we have a belief system that explains how God created us and how He expects us to live. Our biggest challenge is to not allow the culture we live in to convert us to their religion because following their religion removes the power God has given us through Jesus Christ.

The word for 2022 is Grow. In 2022, there is a specific anointing from God to grow in your calling. This word means that in 2022, for some of us, it's time to start something new within our calling.

Lack of submission is a major reason for failure

Daily Word - Entrepreneurship culture promotes the idea of starting your own thing, so you can be your own boss. This idea basically promotes an escape from submission. However, this is a dangerous motive, because, to succeed in entrepreneurship, you need to be able to submit to other people. Links - Join, Partner

Living a life where all things are possible

Daily Word - Jesus teaches us in the Bible that all things are possible for us if we have the faith to receive it.

It's time to believe for real

Daily Word - I am addressing the idea that if we want to see results, we must believe "for real." Many Christians desire things (e.g., a new house, improved health, success in business, etc.). However, they don't truly believe that they will receive their hearts'desires. This lack of faith kills their results. Without true and unwavering belief, we are not in position to receive from God the things we desire. Links - Join, Partner

What to do when you doubt your faith in Jesus

Daily Word - I want to talk about something that is common but rarely preached about, which is what to do when you doubt your faith in Jesus. Faith in Jesus is not consistent among many believers. We believe when things are good. But sometimes, we wonder if God is real when the pressures of life are beating us down. In today's message, I am addressing this issue and discussing how to handle it. Links - Join, Partner

Understanding Your Control Center

Sunday Service - The bible instructs us to live by the spirit and not the flesh. This is because the abundant life that Jesus died for us to have, will come from our spirits through our souls. We are to live through our spirits, surrendering our souls to the dictates of Holy Spirit. But if the soul is not developed or renewed, we will miss the abundant life intended for us.

Satan can't read our thoughts

Daily Word - Many believers give Satan too much power over them. They do this by contributing God-like attributes to him. For example, God can read our thoughts, so many assume Satan can as well. However, he is a fallen angel, not God. Therefore, Satan can't read our thoughts and bring the fears in our thoughts to pass. This revelation brings peace, so we can process and work through fearful thoughts without being afraid that Satan knows what we are thinking and can use that against us. Links - Join, Partner

Contentment does not mean complacency

Daily Word - A misunderstanding of contentment is causing many of us to hold back the growth of our calling. Some think contentment means complacency.

Boldly present your credentials and offer to potential clients

Daily Word - As Christians, at times, we are timid in declaring why our business is great for the job to potential clients. We do this because of a false sense of humility. We don't want to sound as though we are bragging or come off as prideful. However, when you have the opportunity to pitch your business (or yourself) to a client, don't hold back. Boldly present your credentials and how you will solve the client's problems. If Jesus was bold to declare that He was the way to salvation, we should boldly declare that our business is the way to solve a client's problems. Links - Join, Partner
