Daily Word - The bottom line of receiving things by faith is to have faith in God. And faith in God simply means you have to trust in God. Trust that He has your best interests at heart, He is real, and He will reward you if you seek him. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - So you heard how God told such and such to give away (fill in the blank), and a few weeks later God blessed them with a brand new (fill in the blank). Then you tried it for yourself and got nothing in return. In fact, you ended up in a worse situation than before. Is God playing favorites? No. Listen to today's message to learn why imitating the successful steps of another believer is a recipe for failure. Links - Join, Partner

Pastoral Chat - So here's how you uncover what you're good at. Look back over your life and find that thing you were always good at. I don't mean you made money at it, but you were always good at it. It came easy to you. Let me give you an example. Look at the life of Joseph. Whether he was in the pit or the palace, he was always good at administration. He was good in the pit. He was good in slavery. He was good in prison and he was good in the palace. He didn't make money until he got to the palace in Egypt, but he was always really good at administration. Like Joseph, that thing you've been good at your whole life is where your calling lies. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - When God gives us an assignment, there is also a time frame associated with it. If you delay implementing the assignment, then you need to check with God to make sure He stills wants you to do it. Going back and doing what God has told you to do in the past (without checking in with Him) could cause unnecessary problems in your life. Links - Join, Partner

Pastoral Chat - Whatever God has called you to do, there's something I need you to know. You're not going to have a full understanding or full information of what He has called you to do. We all are going to be operating on partial information. When Abraham stepped out on faith to leave his home country, it said he went to a place that God would show him, which means that he did not know a hundred percent where he was going before he left. So just like Abraham, when God speaks to your spirit, there's going to be some things you just don't know. You just have to take that step of faith and step out and do the thing that God's called you to do. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - For various reasons, the time may not be right for you to receive the fullness of the vision God has given you. Therefore, God needs you to be patient, but He has not left you hanging.

Daily Word - God designed faith to bring the promises you find in the Bible into the present. If you are sick, you can now be healed. If you are broken, you can now receive prosperity. Faith is always now, and not in the future. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Unfortunately, most entrepreneurs (secular and Christian) place their businesses before their spouses because they are driven to succeed in their work. However, the problem is that if your spouse is unfulfilled, God is not blessing your business, which means that your business success is not coming from God. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Most of us are in a rush for success in our entrepreneurial calling. However, God may take you the long way to success instead of the quick path because there are things you need to learn before you get to success.

Pastoral Chat - Many of us have spent many years identifying ourselves as this profession or that profession. Maybe you have been a social worker for the past fifteen years, a brain surgeon for thirty years, or a high school teacher for five years. In any case, now God is calling you to step into something new that requires you to unlock your identity from what you were in the past. It can be scary because this is who you have been for so long, and you have found a sense of comfort in identifying as a social worker, brain surgeon, or high school teacher, etc. However, to move into your future, you have to unlock your identity from the past.

Daily Word - Each day of our life, seeds are being intentionally and unintentionally sown into our hearts which either produce the fruit of faith, or fear. This is important because the results you experience in your life are based on faith or fear. Faith that is acted on produces success; and fear creates inaction, which produces failure. Thus, most of us are experiencing wild swings in emotions, various degrees of success, and frequent periods of failure. If we want to get off this roller-coaster ride, then we have to control the seeds we allow into our hearts. Listen to today's Daily Word to learn more about this concept and discover how to control it for sustainable success. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - We can use faith to obtain healing and overcome life's problems. However, God originally designed faith to create things. Now, this is interesting because, as entrepreneurs, what we do is create things and bring them to the marketplace. This means that our primary tool for success is faith. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Ninety-nine percent of the time God gives us partial information about our calling. Therefore, we must get comfortable with taking action on partial information if we desire to be successful. I know this all too well, because just recently Church for Entrepreneurs entered a new phase of its calling: from just a podcast to an online church home to entrepreneurs worldwide. This path was filled with partial information from God. In this message, I am examining this concept and presenting our story as a case study to help you see how God is guiding you over the years, even if you don't know exactly where it is all going.

Daily Word - Your calling is composed of a multitude of decisions both small and large. Each decision carries consequences; therefore, it is important to clearly hear the voice of God on what decision to make. But of course, hearing the voice of God is difficult if you don't know how.

Daily Word - Faith is like potential energy; it has no power until it is transferred to God. This is why you study the Word and know in your heart that you have faith, but you still don't get results. The reason why is because you have not transferred your faith to God. In today's Daily Word, learn how to transfer faith to God by speaking words of faith at your problem. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Faith does not require that you speak to your problems in life and business over and over again. Instead, faith says speak the word in faith once and then move on with your calling. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - God desires for us to win every fight of faith and walk perfectly in our calling. However, He knew we would have faith shortcomings that would cause us to lose a few faith fights and take a few wrong turns along the journey of our calling. With this foreknowledge, before He called you, He made provisions for your faith shortcomings so you would still win in the end. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Christians disagree about whether Jesus was rich or poor. However, the question may be ill-conceived, because while money was necessary to Jesus' life and ministry, it was irrelevant to him personally. Whenever money was required, Jesus manifested money or its equivalent to meet his needs and the needs of those around Him. In today's Daily Word, we're analyzing the ease with which Jesus acquired money, so you can do the same in your life and business. Links - Join, Partner

Pastoral Chat - Can you do it for one? If God has called to be a content creator, the question is, can you just do it for one person? When you make a video, if only one person watch, can you still make that video, can you keep creating content? Jesus said he left the 99 to go after the one. So can you do it for the one? If you can't do it for the one, you're not going to have the stamina to keep creating until you reach the thousands and millions. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Deep down most people wish they were more intelligent, experienced, and skilled in a particular area because these attributes are equated with being successful. However, the truth is that these attributes of apparent strength are in most cases disregarded by God. Instead, He uses your weaknesses to make you extremely successful. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - Let's be honest. There are things in life and business that we are desiring from God that just have not happened yet. We are waiting (sometimes for years) and we still don't have the desires of our heart. This is a dangerous place to be at because unfulfilled desires create physical sickness that requires spiritual healing. In this message, learn how to overcome this trying situation and restore your health and peace. Links - Join, Partner

Daily Word - By your faith you receive the desires of your heart and are successful in the calling God has given you. Therefore, your faith is the most precious possession you have, so you must be careful not to lose it. The most common way Christians lose their faith is by not growing daily in faith, because if you aren't increasing in faith, you are decreasing in faith. Links - Join, Partner

Special Meeting - I have not talked a lot about COVID-19 over this past year. However, now after a year of prayer and study, I feel a leading from Holy Spirit to share my thoughts on COVID-19 in terms of wearing a mask and whether or not you should get vaccinated.

Daily Word - For Satan to destroy our finances, relationships, and calling, we first must give him access to our life. We grant him access by allowing fear into our lives, which binds our spirit.
