I go to the driving range often to work on my golf swing. One time there was a man who would talk to anyone that would practice next to him. Age didn’t matter, as long as you had a heartbeat, he’d figure out a way to strike a conversation. At some point, he’ll ask you “so what do you do for a living?” After probing a bit, a few more qualifying questions, he’d hit you with the “You want to make some money?” Turns out he’s in the financial field and he recruits people to sell life insurance, etc. While others might think that this tactic is predatory and won’t work, I believe the opposite is true. This man’s job is to help others either gain financial control or help others with their financial life. He uses any and every opportunity brought to him to exercise his work. I applaud him for that. I believe the opportunity is all around us. The problem is that WE are not all around us. What I mean is that our spirit within us is there, but the radar that we’re supposed to turn on that receives opportunity from God is not turned on. We think going to play golf is a time to ‘disconnect’. We all have places we disconnect, times that we go on vacation, and moments where we don’t feel it’s appropriate to ‘sell’. I don’t think we call the shots. I believe the opportunity is always knocking. And God will use whatever situation we’re in for His work to be done. In Acts 16, Paul and Silas find themselves in jail over their passion for Christ. While in jail, the opportunity for preaching the gospel came up and they seized the moment. They could have been bitter, angry, frustrated, and cursed the jail guards. Instead, they sang and prayed, and God literally opened the jail cell so they could “sell” the guard on the life-changing word of Jesus. You might have your reservations on the word selling. You may have been told it’s a bad thing to sell, or don’t be like the overbearing car salesman. If you’re not selling, your kids will be skinny. If you’re not selling your friends and family on the changed life you have, you’re not doing your duty. If you’re not always attuned to the fact that God wants to bring you blessings anywhere and everywhere, you could miss out on the biggest sales opportunity of your life. We all go through dry times, where it seems like no opportunities are around. But God is always there, carrying us through the lows of our life, anxious for us to become aware of the opportunities He has set up for us if we just have faith.

One of the biggest breakthroughs I had in business and marriage was to rejoice both in the good and the bad times. The way I look at challenges in business and marriage now is as a test of my faithfulness and obedience. The more tests that I pass, the bigger the places that God can take me and my business. For example, I know I can’t make a million dollars until I can faithfully manage 1/2 a million dollars. Also, I can’t manage 10 clients until I’ve learned to manage 5. In the same way, I can’t handle bigger and more complex issues in my business and family until I have handled smaller ones. Remember, the bigger my company gets, the more money I bring in, the more complex the problems will be. Biggy hit the nail on the head – more money, more problems. So if I’m praying for God to increase my business and also make my marriage great again, I’ve understood that I’m indirectly asking God to increase my problems, now TWO FOLD – get it? But don’t worry, the problems are only a test. We Godpreneurs go through ups and downs in the rollercoaster of life almost daily. Every new level of our businesses and marriages will bring on new challenges. HOW we handle those issues will reflect our level of spiritual maturity and our ability to break through to the next level in our businesses. The Bible says: I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. (Philippians 4:11‭-‬12 NIV) You have a choice every day to go through the journey of marriage and Godpreneurship looking at it as a test or a burden. God’s only going to promote you if you can be faithful with a little (Luke 16:10) because He doesn’t give us more than we can handle (1 Cor 10:13). How will you respond the next time an employee picks up and leaves without notice? How will you handle the next time your spouse tells you they don’t love you? How will you handle the next client that doesn’t pay on time for work rendered? Remember, it’s only a test! We Godpreneurs are not afraid when problems hit our business and personal life, but instead, we are confident in the Lord. The key to having faith that God will move mountains is to praise Him all the time. He already has plans for our businesses and marriages to prosper (Jer 29:11)! Godpreneurship and marriage are a battlefield. We’re not only ministers at home, but also in the marketplace. In my opinion, we've see EVEN BIGGER problems than normal entrepreneurs because of the adversity we fight face to face daily. It’s important to stay calm, praise God, and rejoice that this trial will move our spiritual growth and business to new levels. Nobody except for your close inner circle should know that you’re going through this challenge. To employees, vendors, contractors, and clients, they should see you praising, worshiping, and in a positive attitude. Godpreneurs rejoice when we are blessed, and also while we’re facing trials. If we can do this, God will make way for us to grow our marriage, our business, our influence, our finances, and our capacity to create even more for the Kingdom! We will break through unharmed and ready for new seasons of growth. God is destroying mountains and making way for you and your business into new markets and opportunities. We just need to keep our mindset in a place of believing and trusting through prayer that everything we’re going through in our businesses will work out. We Godpreneurs don’t focus on the size of our issues, we focus on the size of our God that has prepared a way where there was no way! He’s done it in the past for your business and marriage, I believe He’ll do it again. #MarriedEntrepreneurs #BusinessBibleStudy #GodpreneurAcademy 21 Days of Breakthroughs in Business and Marriage This course provides needed strength and faith, in the truth of God’s holy Word, for breakthroughs in both your business and marriage.
