Do you remember saying as a kid Sticks and stones can break my bones But words can never hurt me. It’s so catchy, it even rhymes. Very easy for any child to memorize. That’s by design. Teachers knew people would come up to us and tell us lies or mean things, so I was supposed to recite that OUT LOUD to combat the attack with my words instead of letting my emotions get the best of me and attack back. Since kids, we’ve been taught to fight lies with truth. We’ve been told to stand up against our problems by using statements of positive affirmations. But we’ve lost that. It’s as if we think that it’s childish to do that. We’re grown up now and we can handle things more aggressively. Right? Listen, the devil doesn’t want to see us make breakthroughs in our business and marriage. So he’ll get in our head to tempt us into thinking it’s over, the situation is lost, it will never change, you deserve better, you should be happy, you’re weak, you’re a terrible spouse, your business sucks, you’re not smart enough… Etc. This is when we need to recognize that a bully is doing whatever He can to stop us from the breakthrough God has for us. If the devil wasn’t scared of our potential future, he’d leave us alone! How do we combat the lies in our heads about our business and marriage? How do we stand up against the thoughts that keep us up all night? Reciting “sticks and stones” would be a bit childish. We’re grown up, and we have a lot of new phrases we can memorize. They’re not as catchy and will take some time to commit to memory. We fight lies and experience breakthroughs when we memorize bible verses to combat each lie. The bible says: For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12) When the voices are saying that your business and marriage are over, you need to have a Bible verse memorized to combat it. And you need to say it out loud. I have a list of Bible verses that relate to me and my business that I read every Monday. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28 NIV Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9 NIV For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. 2 Chronicles 16:9 NIV You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Psalms 23:5 NIV For we live by faith, not by sight. 2 Corinthians 5:7 NIV The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing. Psalms 34:10 NIV See, God knows temptation from the devil would intensify the more you are honoring Him in your business and marriage. The enemy wants you to fail and get a divorce. But God made the Bible so that you could have a chance in this invisible fight happening in your mind. Your mind will either stop the breakthrough… Or Breakthrough the stop. It’s your choice because you choose what to combat the lies with. You’ll either agree with the lies and give in to the temptation to quit or you’ll combat the lies with God’s word – the truth about God’s calling of victory and favor over your situation. God has big plans for Godpreneurs. God wants our business and marriage to move forward to conquer new levels of purpose and passion. He knows our future and deems it will be successful! My business and life verse is Jeremiah 29:11 KJV. It states, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” This is the first verse that comes to mind when I’m being attacked. We all need a fundamental verse that declares victory when the poop hits the fan in our business and marriage. Pick one. Memorize it. Say it out loud when you see the storm coming. It will send the clouds in a different direction. Bible verses beat the devil 10 out of 10 times.

Knowledge is so underrated. The turning point in the life of Adam and Eve was the advent of knowledge. They were instructed not to eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. That suggests that good and evil might have already been at play in the world at that time, but Adam and Eve did not know of them (Genesis 2-3). You see, knowledge has the potential to turn anybody's life around. It has the ability to create. It can bring your downfall, as it can define your dominion. 1 Corinthians 2:8 says: ..."the princes of this world crucified the Lord of glory because they knew not the wisdom that was concealed for our glory". Did you see that? Even wisdom is known. In becoming who we were sent to be, Knowledge is essential. Hosea 4:6 tells us that the reason we perish is that we lack knowledge. John 8:32 tells us that it is known truth that sets us free. Knowledge is essential to make it in the life that we have been called to live. But until we avail ourselves to knowledge, having it and walking in it will remain a mirage. What does it mean to avail yourself of knowledge? It simply means to expose yourself to atmospheres and environments that celebrate, promote, and advocate for knowledge. It means to put yourself in the presence of someone who has knowledge and releases knowledge and be open to receiving it with meekness and gladness. You remember Mary and Martha when the Lord visited their home? Mary availed herself to knowledge, and the Master commended her for it. In fact, the Master said knowledge was the ONE THING that is needful (Luke 10:38-42). In considering knowledge, there are 3 things to be mindful of: The Source: God places a premium on the sources where we get knowledge from. It is because the source of knowledge determines whether or not it's worthy of our consumption. That's why God’s first thing addressed with Adam and Eve was the source of their knowledge when they said they were naked. He asked, "...who told you that you were naked?" (Genesis 3:11). The source of knowledge will determine the content of it. The Curation: Knowledge Curation is simply the organization of knowledge. Is the knowledge you're exposed to well organized to communicate meaning? Is it in the right progression? Is it in the right quality and quantity? Curation will determine the usefulness of knowledge per time. The Communication: The source/content of knowledge may be right. The curation may be accurate. But if its communication is wrong, it can change the whole narrative and make an impact on it. It can deter meaning and intent. That's why, as Christian Entrepreneurs, it's high time for us to start paying due attention to where and who we get our knowledge from. Who or where is the source of knowledge that we use in running our businesses? I think it's high time we started having our own kingdom summits, conferences, seminars, and workshops to submit to our King. We should not only be a talker but also a doer, I'm taking the first step in doing that. I'm putting together a 3-days life and business transforming summit for Christian Entrepreneurs who want to walk in dominion in the marketplace in 2021. The event is scheduled for December 17-19 and runs from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM EST daily. At the event, we have kingdom impact makers on the lineup to disburse knowledge. I’m talking people like Horst Schulze (Founder of The Ritz Carlton Hotel and The Capella Hotel Group), Jordan Raynor (Entrepreneur and Executive Chairman of Threshold 360), Joel Manby (Former CEO of Herschend Enterprises, Saab Automobile USA, and SeaWorld Parks), John Ruhlin (Founder and CEO of Giftology), Candace Junee (Digital Marketing Maven, Social Influencer and CEO of Epic Fab Girl and 11Eleven Fashion), Alex Miranda (Founder of Daily Godpreneur and CEO of Creative Complex), Rebekah Lyons (Author of Rhythms of Renewal), Carlos Whittaker (Author of Moment Maker and Kill The Spider) and Milton Chefoin (CEO of GEM Systems). Everyone speaking at the event has a proven track record of results that are befitting for the kingdom. Each and every one of them has honed in one specific area of focus, acquired, and become leaders in it. They are very well-curated at it and are now ready to communicate their knowledge with other Christian Entrepreneurs who are prepared to commit to leading lives and running businesses that reflect the Kingdom of God. Let’s share knowledge from God and lead you to DOMINION in 2021. Find out more at www.gemvirtual2021.com

I have a Google Doc where I periodically go in and write my “victories” for the month. I bullet point everything that comes to mind where I felt victorious in my business that day, week or month. I’ll jot down new clients, praise reports, significant breakthroughs, new launches, great people I met, and new goals I achieved. There’s always something to be thankful for. I do this because, at times, I need to go back and remember those victories. There are moments in my business where I get hit with some unforeseen circumstance, an unexpected bill, a client that hasn’t paid on time, or a failed project. In these moments of uncertainty, I need a jolt of faith to kick my mindset back into shape and move forward in victory. Now that my mindset is back in a “faithful” mode, I can inquire about the next step I should take in solving the situation I’m confronted with. It’s tough to figure out how to get out of a situation without faith-filled guidance – The Holy Spirit. Feeling Overwhelmed Business’s challenging obstacles and seasons can cause us entrepreneurs to feel overwhelmed with frustration, depression, sadness, and loneliness. It’s during these times we need to draw closest to God – and He’ll draw close to us. You might be facing a season of waiting, and you’re looking for direction. You might be up against the wall with the vendors you owe money to. You might have encountered a major problem with an employee that threatens the whole house to come crumbling down. Godpreneur: remember that God, our CEO, all-knowing Dad, saw this all coming before you even started the business. The Bible says "Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded." James 4:8 NIV That business-altering experience you’re going through might come as a surprise to you, but not to God. That’s why he gave us the Holy Spirit – to guide us to victory and encourage us along the way. God has a great purpose for you and your business despite the tough circumstances or season you’re in. God Shows Up God’s going to show up on time for you. You have the spirit, you have a relationship with God. But you have to remember these 3 steps: Keep worshiping God, so that even in the distress of the moment you can be strengthened and encouraged in God. Remember your past victories when God showed up right on time and showed you the way out. Now that your mindset is correct, it’s time to ask God for the way to victory in this situation or season you’re in. When we encourage ourselves in God, I believe we’re about to inquire God’s direction because our faith believes in a provision, protection, and promises performed in the past. We now know that, without a doubt, God’s timing will be perfect. #FindingMyPurpose #WheretoStartFirst

Do you have thoughts like: I need my business to fill the empty places in my life. If I find that business, my loneliness will be gone and I will be whole. The right business will make me happy. Etc., etc., etc… You can go on believing that fantasy if you want, but the truth is this: Your business will NOT complete you; your business will complicate you. If you aren’t an entrepreneur yet, trust me on this one. If you are currently in business, you can stop nodding your head right now. One of God’s purposes in entrepreneurship is to use our business to reveal our flesh patterns, selfishness, and sin. If you are looking for true purpose and passion, only Christ will complete you. "For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge – that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God." Ephesians 3:14-19 As we come to grips with the love of Christ, we find fulfillment in Him, and then we get to delight in the business we have been given. All I can say is that it works for me in my business. When I walk in the Spirit, rather than the flesh, I really see Jesus as my answer, Jesus as my power, Jesus as my strength, and Jesus as my love. When I see myself as completed in Christ, all the pressure is lifted off my business, and I actually start delighting in my entrepreneurial venture. "For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and in Christ you have been brought to fullness." Colossians 2: 9-10 The lie is that your business will complete you. The truth is that only Christ will complete you. Father, show me where I am depending on my business to complete me, rather than receiving my completeness in Christ. Refocus the expectations I place on my products, services, ambitions, accomplishments, vendors, employees, contractors or partners to complete me. I know I was designed to be filled by You! Amen. #StrengthenIntegrity #GainConfidence
