Daily Study: Many times in life, things just work out in our favor because God loves us. However, we have to be careful not to assume that the paths we took that led to good outcomes were approved by God. If we make that assumption, we run the risk of repeating unauthorized paths or setting goals based on un-anointed past experiences. Partner with …

Growth Lab: God’s prosperity is simple to receive. We just have to follow His anointed instructions on where to find money or how to make it. For example, in the temple tax story, Peter presumptuously committed Jesus to paying taxes, yet Jesus graciously provided a way for Peter to find the money to pay the tax. Also, at the wedding, the people rec…

Daily Study: Most believers already have a good basic knowledge of what God has called them to do because God has not been hiding it from them. He has revealed it to them throughout their lives. The real issue is that many of us have not accepted our calling. We are full of self doubt and excuses. However, until we willingly accept our calling, we …

Daily Study: Since your calling is embedded in your spiritual DNA, you have instinctively manifested aspects of your calling throughout your life. Maybe you’ve gravitated toward particular work assignments or majored in certain things in college. Perhaps in your spare time you did certain things and learned certain things for free, just because you…

Daily Study: Your calling from God can be articulated through the what, why and how framework: "what" is the big picture of your calling; "why" is the reason God wants to undertake your calling; and "how" is the implementation details of achieving your calling. Knowing the why, why, and how of your calling guides you in making decisions that lead t…

Romans Series: In these verses, Paul encourages us as believers to offer our bodies as living sacrifices, dedicating ourselves to God in a way that is holy and pleasing. He urges us not to conform to the patterns of this world but to be transformed by renewing our minds, enabling us to discern God’s will. Paul emphasizes humility, reminding us not …

Growth Lab: We are exploring the deeper meaning of honoring God with our money and resources. Many Christians limit this concept to tithing to a church, but true honor extends beyond that—it involves supporting the works of God and His people. In the Old Testament, giving to God meant providing for the temple and the Levites, but today, God's templ…

Daily Study: It is critical for us to stay aware of God’s current assignments in our life. This is important because when God ends one assignment and instructs us to undertake another, He removes His anointing from the old assignment and transfers it to the new one. If we miss the transition, He does not force us to stop the old assignment. He will…

Daily Study: Just because God called you to do it doesn’t mean you won’t take a few hits while following your calling. We have a real enemy who doesn’t want you to succeed. So, when you experience dumps in the road of calling, don’t give up. Allow Holy Spirit to guide you around or through the dumps in the road. Partner with Us: https://churchforen…

Daily Study: Whatever God has called you to do, he has given you an abundance of time to accomplish it. We serve a God of abundance, which includes time abundance. Let’s endeavor to remove the mindset of time scarcity and see time the way God sees it — abundantly and more than enough to complete our calling. Partner with Us: https://churchforentrep…

Open Forum: Pastor Amos shared updates about his parents' house and the ongoing recovery efforts in Augusta. He also discussed the importance of quiet time and reflection, and the concept of group coaching, specifically focusing on the structure and benefits of a mastermind group. The group also discussed personal struggles with motivation and fulf…

Daily Study: The calling God has given you is unique and requires a unique blueprint, so we should not copy someone else’s plan for success. When we copy, it is like putting a circle in a square hole – it just doesn’t fit. Yes, we can learn from others, but we should not copy. If you want success, then seek God for the specific way He wants you to …

Daily Study: God desires for us to implement the vision he has given us faithfully. Faithful means that we do it the way God wants us to do – not the way we think is best. Without being faithful to implement the vision God’s way, we are, at best, frustrated with minimum success and slow progress and, at worst, God takes the vision from us. Partner …

Romans Series: Paul shows that when everything is fulfilled, the Jews will be saved because God has made a covenant with them. Since God is faithful to His covenant, He will keep His word. As non-Jews, we can learn from this by realizing that whatever God has spoken to our hearts, He will bring to pass in our lives. Just as it may seem the Jews won…

Daily Study: I used to think that following God's calling meant everything would be perfect. But this mindset is far from the truth and can be harmful to our success. God doesn't promise a flawless journey, but He does promise victory in the end. Understanding this is key, so we don't give up on our calling when difficulties come. Partner with Us: …

Growth Lab: Most of us know from Proverbs 10:22 that the blessing of the Lord makes us rich. Yet, if we take an honest look around, we see that many Christians are facing financial struggles. Does this mean the Bible is wrong about prosperity? Not at all! The Bible is accurate. Prosperity is linked to the nature of your work. If your efforts primar…

Daily Study: As we go through life and pursue our callings, we will inevitably face challenging situations. You might experience illness, the loss of a close friend or family member, or even a financial crisis. These unexpected events can disrupt our path and make it difficult to stay focused on our purpose. Let’s look to the scriptures and see how…

Daily Study: Your calling will be tried by fire, and you may be tempted to give up. In fact, that is the goal of the trials that you are facing. The trial is designed by Satan to tempt you to give up. However, in today’s message, I want to encourage you to stay on your path in the face of temptation. Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.…

Daily Study: 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 y…

Daily Study: 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 strengt…

Daily Study: 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 …

Growth Lab: There is an idea that we need to eradicate from our thought processes so we can experience God’s best in our lives. It is the idea that prosperity is a reward for good behavior. The truth is that prosperity is part of our salvation benefits package, which is based on God’s love for us, not our behavior. Partner with Us: https://churchfo…

Daily Study: Let's have some real talk. The entrepreneurial calling God has placed in your heart will likely take time to come to fruition, which means you may be tempted to quit because it feels like it's taking too long. You might even feel like God has forgotten about you, but rest assured, He hasn’t. Everyone’s dreams take time to manifest, and…

Daily Study: Just because you started a particular business or ministry that failed, doesn’t mean you should not try it 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.…

Open Forum: Pastor Amos shared his thoughts on the concept of "moonshot businesses" and the importance of understanding the nature of one's business venture. Attendees also discussed various business ideas. The conversation ended with discussions on decision-making processes, personal growth, and the importance of self-reflection and honesty in ach…

Daily Study: God gave Jesus a unique and powerful calling during His time on earth. While His calling sets the foundation for all of ours, your calling will likely differ from His. You can learn from studying everything Jesus did, but you may not find your exact calling in His actions on earth. Therefore, don't limit your calling simply because you…

Daily Study: 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 …

Romans Series: In Romans 11:1-24, Paul explains that God has not rejected Israel despite their current unbelief; a remnant remains chosen by grace. Israel’s rejection of the gospel has opened the door for Gentiles to be included in God’s salvation plan. Using the metaphor of an olive tree, Paul illustrates how unbelieving Israelites were like branc…

Daily Study: Believers will often say, "If God wants me to go this way, then He will open a door of opportunity," or, "this door closed because God has something better for me." God can open and close doors of opportunity, but the state of the door (aka opportunity) doesn't indicate the will of God for your life. Watching doors open and close can m…

Growth Lab: Prosperity is a constant state of wealth, not occasionally having some money or mostly being able to meet your needs and desires. It is a condition where all your needs and desires are met, and you have more than enough to give to every good cause. In this message, learn more about prosperity and how the blessing brings you prosperity. …

As an entrepreneur, the Lord is constantly speaking to your spirit ideas to either start something new or take what you're currently doing to the next level. However, how do you hear these ideas from God and how do you take them from your from spirit to launching them in the marketplace? Learn a three stage process to go from idea to launch.…

When we mix God's will with our own, we are headed toward eventual failure. Unfortunately, it is very easy to taint God's will without even realizing it. However, when we do realize it, we need to get back on track, even if we've spent a lot of money going down a tainted path. Don't allow the fact that you spent money going in the wrong direction t…

Attendees discussed the importance of trusting in God's plan and not being influenced by external opinions, emphasizing the need for self-evaluation and reflection on life experiences to understand God's will. The group also highlighted the importance of making difficult decisions for the benefit of those they lead, along with the power of faith an…

As entrepreneurs, it is very tempting to see a need and start something to fill that need. We have no shortage of money-making ideas or desires to start new ministries to fix various societal ills. However, we need to exercise a lot of self-control in this area because great ideas can break our focus and cause us to fail at what God has truly calle…

Our society is obsessed with credibility and credentials. If you are a chef, they want to know what culinary school you went to. If you’re a business coach, they want to know what successful business you have personally made a million dollars from. If you say you are starting a ministry, people want to know what theology school you got your ministr…

Daily Study: In our guru culture of coaches and mentors, we are being programmed to follow other people’s paths to success. This is tempting to our intellect and emotions because we believe that if somebody has made six or seven figures doing it a certain way, then we’ll also be successful if we just follow their way. However, this rarely happens. …

Growth Lab: The love of money was introduced particularly in the context of ministry, where false teachers may exploit their roles for personal gain. Paul warns against the pursuit of wealth, highlighting that the love of money reflects discontentment and a lack of trust in God. Money itself is not evil, but the obsession with it becomes idolatry, …

We find ourselves feeling powerless because we don’t realize who we are in Christ and that God has given us the power of decision. And with this power comes great responsibility, but it is our power to use. For example, many women in abusive marriages look to pastors and Bible teachers to answer the question, “Should I get a divorce or should I sta…

Open Forum: Attendees discussed the closure of the Atlanta congregation and shared personal experiences related to the Church for Entrepreneurs ministry.

Your way is any way that is planned and implemented without the counsel of God. Most times you have good intentions, because you are walking in God’s calling for your life, so it seems like you are in God’s will. However, no matter how great your intentions, your way can lead to unnecessary delays and collateral damage to your marriage, friendships…

God gave you a vision to be in your own business or ministry full time. However, in the meantime, what do you do until the vision fully manifests? Is it a lack of faith to do something else while you wait for manifestation? Or maybe you should use your faith to jump directly into the vision? In today’s study, discover through the Word of God what y…

After nearly three years of starting and leading a local church in Atlanta, I made the difficult but necessary decision to close it. Today, I shared this decision with the congregation, and in this podcast, I’ll walk you through the process I used to reach this point. My hope is that by sharing my journey, I can offer you a framework for evaluating…

Heavenly Father, I thank You that Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path (Psalm 119:105). I trust that You have good plans for my life, plans to prosper me and not to harm me, plans to give me hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11). I commit my ways to You, knowing that as I acknowledge You in all my ways, You will direct my paths (Prove…

A tricky trap is allowing the vision God gave you to become your god. When this occurs, you become obsessed with the vision, which leads to stress and anxiousness. Also the vision becomes unsuccessful and destructive to your life. If you continue in this way, at some point, God will remove the anointing for the vision from you. Partner with Us: htt…

It is not an accident that the moment you accept God’s calling for your life that an unexpected sickness or a financial hardship comes your way. These things are attacks of Satan to imprison you in pain and lack to stop you from succeeding in your calling. Well, don’t fall for this trick. Use your authority to knock down those prison walls and achi…

As you are implementing the calling God has given you, unfortunately bad situations will occur along your journey. However, when a bad situation happens, don’t focus on why it happened, instead just ask God to fix it and keep pressing until you receive victory. Asking why is a waste of energy and time, and usually doesn’t yield satisfactory answers…

A trap that many entrepreneurs and ministers fall into is making their God-given vision their god, instead of the Lord being their God. This is a deceptive trap. All your outward actions may look godly and in line with the vision, but your heart motivation is no longer right. This is dangerous because outward actions are meaningless when your heart…
