Church for Entrepreneurs

Daily Word - Many believers with entrepreneurial callings have a list of unfinished instructions from God. It is tempting to go back and try to finish the list; however, the season for those particular assignments may have passed. God is a right now God. Instead of going backward, find out what God is asking you to do now because the anointing on your unfinished assignments might be gone. Links - Join, Partner

Sunday Service - When God created man, he didn't create us to master the ability to follow a bunch of rules. He created us to master the art of making godly decisions. He is training us to be decision makers, not rule followers, decision makers who can rule the earth and subdue the devil. Therefore, instead of running from the decisions along the path of your calling, embrace them. Every time you make a decision, you strengthen your decision-making muscle and increase your ability to make godly decisions, which is the key to success in your calling. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - When God called you, He knew that you would not perfectly implement the vision. He called you because He knows that you will listen to his corrections when needed. When you do make mistakes, because He loves you He will do everything in his power (including stopping the sun) to help you correct those mistakes. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Reaching the next level of success in your calling usually occurs through a divine opportunity. These opportunities are from another person or organization who has noticed your current success, and they help you reach higher levels. However, to be noticed, you must be in diligent pursuit of the right course of action. Discover your right course of action, so you don't miss your opportunity to accelerate to your next level of success. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - God sees the end from the beginning. Thus, He has already seen the needs and challenges you are currently facing in your life and calling. Since God is good, He has already gifted you with everything you need to turn your current situation around. When God calls you, He equips you to win. Links - Join, Partner

Open Forum - I shared the faith lessons I learned from God opening the door to our Atlanta campus. I believe these lessons will help you to stand in faith and wait in rest for what God is calling you to do. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - As parents, we have to be mindful not to leave a vision for our children. God has called us to leave an inheritance for them, but not a vision. We can become so excited and passionate about our calling that we want our children to work with us and eventually take over from us. However, this is very dangerous because we could be hindering the calling God has given them by placing our calling on them. Links - Join, Partner

I am happy to announce that the Holy Spirit opened a door of opportunity for us to open our first church campus in Atlanta, Georgia in the Roam Buckhead coworking space. Start Date: January 9, 2022 Time: 10am to 11:30am EST Roam Buckhead 3365 Piedmont Rd NE Suite 1400 (2nd Floor) Atlanta, GA 30305 Parking is available in the Tower Walk parking deck. Park on the middle level for best access to Roam. We offer 3 hour parking validation.

Daily Word - As you work on the vision God has given you, you will periodically experience some tough situations that may cause you to wonder if God has called you to do something else. In those times, it is important to get reconfirmation from God about your vision. It is not a sin to ask again. In fact, by getting reconfirmation, you will strengthen your faith and acquire the needed motivation to push on to victory. Links - Join, Partner

Open Forum - We discussed that competition is a faith killer because it creates false faith. Along with other great topics we also discussed that we need to stop stressing over challenges and just live. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - It is likely that the vision God has given you is large and will impact the lives of many people. Therefore, God will probably train you through small victories before you step into the primary calling He has given you. This is similar to being a baby. We must learn to crawl before we walk or run. If we rush straight at the vision God has given us, we won't have the necessary skills (which are developed through training in smaller battles) to win.

Daily Word - One highly debated issue in the body of Christ is the question: "Can you lose salvation?" Some say once saved, you are always saved. Other say that you can actually lose salvation after being saved. Let's comb through the Bible to examine this question. Links - Join, Partner

Sunday Service - To succeed in your vision you need faith. When God first places the vision in your heart, your faith is high. However — with most people — over time, their faith erodes. This happens because faith is not a one-time event. Faith is something that you have to intentionally fight to keep. If you don't continually stay in faith, then you will fail in your vision.

Daily Word - Does it seem like you are on a bumpy roller coaster ride with the vision God gave you? Well, hold on because victory is coming. Even God's dream for humanity was a bumpy ride (that is still not over). Just like God, we will win in the end. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - From interacting with negative people and having negative experiences, our minds are filled with limiting thoughts. Thoughts like "People like us don't do that," "You don't have the money for that," "You'll never achieve that goal," etc. Those thoughts must be rooted out of our minds if we are to achieve all God has for us to do. The new ideas God has placed inside us require new thinking. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - What is morality? Are there really some things that are absolutely right and some things that are completely wrong? Questions like these are constantly debated between believers and non-believers. Today we explore through a biblical lens the concept of right and wrong. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Let's have some real talk. More than likely, the dream God placed in your heart of your entrepreneurial calling is going to take a while, which means you are going to be tempted to quit because it is taking too long. It may even feel like God forgot about you. But rest assured He has not. Everyone's dreams take time to manifest, and there are neither magic pills nor secret techniques to speed them up. The main techniques you need are simply trusting in God and having patience. As you follow God in leading you towards your dream, you will grow the skills needed to take hold of the dream and conquer it. Don't give up. Every day you will get closer, and at some point, after diligence and faithfulness, you'll be only one day away from manifesting the dream. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - God gave us the Bible to instruct us on how we should live and be successful. However, if you study the Bible incorrectly it is very easy to build bad doctrine (instructions) that could derail your life and success. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - To truly achieve great success, we must believe deep down in our hearts that we deserve success. If you feel you don't deserve it, you will unconsciously sabotage your success and not have the necessary faith to receive success. The reason you deserve success is not because of what you did or didn't do. Rather, it is because God loves you. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Just because you started a particular business or ministry that failed, doesn't mean you should not try again. Failure comes mainly because we lack the anointing. Therefore, if God is speaking to your heart to go back and restart a failed project, then this time it will work because you will be doing it again with the anointing. Links - Join, Partner

Sunday Service - Maturity is essential to fulfilling your purpose. Our ultimate destination goes beyond the study of scripture. The purpose of scripture is to point us to the person of Jesus Christ. In Christ, we learn how to think, speak and act like God. And in Him, we mature into sons of God to become gods in the earth. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - One of our biggest challenges as entrepreneurs is success. This is a challenge because it is a test of authority. If we contribute our success to ourselves and our own actions, then we are challenging God's authority in our lives. Listen to today's Word Training and discover why taking credit for your success is dangerous. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - We aren't achieving our goals because we are setting goals without input from God. Setting a goal without a word from God equals trying to throw a rock at the moon. Allow God to set your goals, and watch your goal achievement rate dramatically increase to almost 100%. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - We all make mistakes as we are implementing the calling that God has given us. In fact, when He called us, He knew we would make mistakes and prepared provisions for those times. Therefore, we should not allow the fear of making a mistake to hold us back from moving forward in our calling. Links - Join, Partner

Open Forum — We discussed that some of the faith testimonies we have heard may have been God's mercy, not faith; therefore, we need to grow in faith instead of always needing God's mercy. We also discussed how to learn how to hear God instead of needing a prophetic voice to tell us what God is saying about our life, how we needed to create intentional margins in our life so we can be free of distraction to hear God, and a few other interesting topics.

Daily Word - The vision statement usually provides the future goals of your business or organization, whereas the mission statement communicates how you serve your customers or clients and the outcomes they can expect. Understanding this critical difference will help you communicate better with your customers or clients. Instead of sharing your vision with them, share your mission. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Human language has only a fraction of the communication power as God's spiritual language. Therefore, God's word cannot be directly represented in a one-to-one representation of human words because our words are limited. His words are spirit and our words are natural. To hear the spirit words behind the human words in the Bible, we must meditate the words in the Bible until our spiritual ears hear God's true revelation. Links - Join, Partner

Open Forum - We discussed that we should not over reach and call it faith. Several people gave testimonies of God doing great things in their life and calling. We prayed for and discussed divine healing. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - If we desire to receive God's blessings, then we must let go of our preconceived thoughts of how God is going to do it. Our perception of the way God should bring us His blessings is like a spiritual blindfold that binds us to God's unique blueprint on our lives to receive our blessings. Links - Join, Partner

Atlanta Campus - Pastor Stephen and myself are discussing the vision for the Atlanta church campus. In about 2 weeks we will start having interest meetings and seeing who is being led to attend our campus in Atlanta. Take a listen and let me know what you think about the vision.

Daily Word - God desires for you to live in total abundance, with nothing missing and nothing broken. Whatever you need or desire, God is big enough to take care of it—and He desires to take care of it. Links - Join, Partner

Sunday Service - God has given all of us a vision to achieve. However, that vision will be challenged by obstacles from the outside, self-doubt from the inside, and consequences from our mistakes. If we can endure these challenges to our vision, our reward is godly maturity. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - The will of God doesn't happen without help. It requires our participation and the participation of other people. This is a major revelation we must have so our faith doesn't get thrown into turmoil if something "God said" doesn't happen or is very slow to happen. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Receiving the promises of God is not conditional on you perfectly following God. When you make small or major mistakes, don't condemn yourself because God is not condemning you or disqualifying you from success. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - As we are engaging our entrepreneurial calling throughout our life, it is unavoidable that we will experience the deaths of loved ones. In those times, a deep sense of loss and depression can rush over us and cause us to stop pursuing our calling. Therefore, it is important and comforting in times of loss to see death from God's perspective. Let's discover that because God sees heaven as the safety net of life for believers, the death of a believer may be sad to us, but not a terrible thing for them. Links - Join, Partner

Open Forum - We discussed that we need to surround ourselves with people who can encourage us in our calling and remove people who discourage us. We also discussed that faith looks like stubbornness, and whether you should take care of an aging parent. We wrapped up by discussing how God saved us because He loved us, not because we did anything to deserve it. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Lack of talent or anointing is not the reason many believers are unsuccessful in their calling. The real culprit is a lack of focus. Without focus, success is slow at best and nowhere to be found at worst. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - As believers with entrepreneurial callings, we desire to see people discover Jesus through our work. But how does that happen? Some people believe that serving and loving people through our work is enough, and that indirectly they will eventually come to experience Jesus. However, others say that you have to be more bold and direct. Is there a correct way? Well, there is one way for people to be saved, but many ways to warm them up to consider the possibility of accepting Jesus. Let's explore how to allow God to use your entrepreneurial work in a way that enables non-believers to experience the saving grace of Jesus. Links - Join, Partner

Open Forum - We discussed the difference between faith and foolishness and a blessing and a mistake. We also discussed how if we are mature Christians, we can trust our feelings to show us God's will. As we closed, we examined the idea that we are not fighting a war against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces, which requires us to become a prayer warrior using our heavenly prayer language.

Daily Word - The results we reap are a direct product of the thoughts we think. Our minds are the engines that drive our success; therefore, we have to intentionally program how we think. If we allow worldly thinking to program our minds, then we will reap success mired with sorrows and pain. If our minds have a mixture of worldly and godly programming, then we will be unsuccessful and frustrated. However, if we program our minds to think like God, then we will have success without the hustle and sorrows. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - God gave Jesus a very specific and powerful calling while He lived on the earth. Jesus' calling sets the tone for all of our callings, but more than likely your calling will look different than Jesus' calling. When you study all the things Jesus did, you can learn from them, but you might not find your exact calling in the things Jesus did on earth. Therefore, don't limit what you are called to do just because you did not see Jesus do it. Links - Join, Partner

Sunday Service - God has given all of us a vision to accomplish in our lives. However, you have to prove to yourself the vision God has given you. Another way to say it is that you have to convince yourself of what God has called you to do. If you don't, you won't have the required faith to succeed in your vision. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Traditionally, pastors have been male; however, can a woman be a pastor? God calls women in all other aspects of life and leadership but the concept of a female pastor is highly contested in the body of Christ. In today's message, we examine this issue from a biblical perspective. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - After working on their calling, the next most pressing issue consuming the minds of many single Christian entrepreneurs is finding a spouse, an undertaking that can create depression and derail their calling. Therefore, in today's message, we are digging into the topic of how to actively find a spouse. In particular, we are examining the concept of soul mates, the bible's process for finding a spouse, and the male and female roles in the spouse-finding process. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Yes, wait on God for direction when you are unsure about your path. However, if God has given you direction, go forward and don't hold back on your calling. Too many believers are tiptoeing down the road of their calling because they are afraid of making a mistake, or fearful they are being greedy. This timidness hinders or slows down success and reduces the magnitude of success. Links - Join, Partner

Open Forum - We explored the issue of why men don't go to church, which led us into a discussion about why men are stepping back from leading in society and their families. We also discussed overcoming bitterness, divorce, finding your ideal client, and a few other interesting topics. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Praying to God has many purposes. One purpose that is often underutilized, however, is receiving instructions. In Jesus' life, when He prayed, He was not really requesting healing for people or asking for financial miracles; He was seeking and receiving instructions. Listen to today's message and learn more about this important application of prayer, so you can receive the instructions you need for your calling. Also, at the end, a few steps to guide your prayer time have been provided. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - If you are a married entrepreneur, there are two main things you should do consistently to be happy. First, implement your calling, and second, please your spouse. Doing these two things consistently will bring excitement and happiness to your life. Links - Join, Partner
