How to Share God's Victories in Your Business with Your Employees
Milestones are times in my business life when something significant changes. I have a Google Doc of milestones in my business where God HOOKED IT UP! Whenever there’s a moment where I’m like “Dude, this is a miracle, only God could have orchestrated this”, then I write it down on my list.
At least once a week (usually Mondays) I’m reading that list to myself. It reminds me that God is amazing! It gives me a chance to celebrate what He’s done in my business, and positions my mindset to receive more blessings.
God works in our businesses even before we realize it. He’s the reason for every victory, whether we give him credit or not. The problem is that we entrepreneurs are such forward-thinking visionaries that sometimes we don’t look back to the past to celebrate. Sometimes we’re so focused on the FUTURE that we miss the opportunity TODAY to celebrate God for what he’s done.
The people of Israel had also stopped celebrating God and it cost them the city of Jerusalem. Then, Nehemiah came back to rebuild the wall and bring back the worship of God. When the wall was finished, they celebrate who God is and what he did in the past.
Nehemiah 9:6-7 says
"You alone are the Lord . You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you. “You are the Lord God, who chose Abram and brought him out of Ur of the Chaldeans and named him Abraham."
This verse teaches that whatever ability they had to rebuild that wall, they served and glorify God according to the utmost of it. The priests were leading the people to glorify God so that they would be kept humble, thankful, and watchful to not fall back into the sin they had just gotten out of.
Hopefully, you're at a place where you've rebuilt your business God's way and you're in a new place along your entrepreneurial journey. If God is first in your business, should be feeling really good about your operations, the people you’ve invited into your wall, and your ability to lead them to new heights.
Celebrate this milestone and remind your staff to also celebrate! Send out an email this morning to your team…a celebration email. I do this at the start of each month. Set a recurring calendar reminder to do this. Whenever God has done something amazing in your business, have a Google Doc list where you’re keeping track of this. Each month, send some victories to your people and let them celebrate with you.
If we can become Godpreneurs that celebrate all the amazing things that God has done, I believe we are setting our hearts in the right spiritual vibrations to continue to receive all that God has promised for our businesses. Amen!
P.S. I did a Business bible study called 40 Days to Restarting Your Business, God's Way. Check it out:

We parallel Nehemiah's rebuilding of the wall to your journey in rebuilding your business.
