I'm on the box again. This time standing on the tip of my toes with a megaphone in my hands.
My heart is pounding and there is a passion surging through my veins.
There is a message I must release but is now the right time?
Will the message be received?
Will it prick and mend the heart all at once?
Will it release freedom, boldness, and courage straight to the soul?
I guess we will find out soon enough.
My blood was boiling with a passionate reaction after I read the email.
Not because I was angry at the response.
I was angry for what the response represented.
It fueled a massive desire to see God's children in the marketplace set free from a pervasive disease rampant among believers in business.
The underlying issue is fear.
And do you know what fear represents?
I believe it is a place, a posture, a mindset that has not relinquished itself to the truth of the Kingdom.
It is a mindset, a belief that runs contrary to the Truth found in Love. And by that, I mean the Truth found in God.
Because God is love.
Fear is a belief, a place of hope in something that is contrary to who God is and how God is.
In fact, I would go so far as to say that fear is contrary to who you are because, as a believer, you are a new creation and are one with the One.
Could that mean that when we are in fear we are acting out of character? 🤔
So back to that email...
The email I received was a response to a request.
The answer was no. And that's fine because people have a right to say yes or no to any request.
What angered me was the reason - which I already established was fear.
And I was angry because fear constricts and binds.
What Jesus desires for us is FREEDOM.
So I just gotta stand on my box and raise myself up as high as I can and speak loudly that
THERE IS NO COMPETITION IN THE KINGDOM.
PERIOD.
Fear can show up in business in multiple ways...
- Not wanting to give out certain information
- Grinding to launch and grow because someone else is doing the same thing you want to do
- Afraid someone else is going to take your client
- Not celebrating when someone starts a business in your industry because now there's more of you that have to share the business
- Taking a client from someone else
- Not honoring your word because you won't make as much money
- Not helping someone who wants to cancel their service with you (you can honor their request and transition them out with grace)
- Comparing your business growth, or lack thereof, to someone else's growth
- Discounting your prices so that YOU get the client instead of someone else
It's important that we look at our motivation because it is everything.
What's the motivation behind your "Yes"?
What's the motivation behind your "No"?
Is it fear?
Is it Kingdom?
Remember that God IS love and there is no fear in love.
Remember that you are IN Him and He is in you.
Remember that you are a new creation - freed from old mindsets.
Remember that your transformation comes by renewing your mind...
What you believe about God.
What you believe about yourself.
How you stand in Truth.
Focus.
Don't look at the distractions on your left.
Don't be swayed by the teachings that want to drag you down the paths of comparison and competition.
Those are thorny paths full of obstacles to trip you up and slow you down.
You are meant to run your race with perseverance, boldly and confidently because you are one with the ONE with all of the strategies you need for business so you can transform lives and release heaven in a way that ONLY you can.
Because you were made, you are equipped, with everything you need to reach the ones you are supposed to impact.
So go on ahead and punch fear in the face, grab hold of courage, and boldly move forward in your assignment.
There are likely a whole lot of someones waiting for your YES.
This is an invitation to collaborate with heaven and to know that you know that you know that you have NO competition and you can operate every part of your business in complete freedom.
It's time to grow a Kingdom brand created in freedom while serving with excellence, authentic connections, and content that brings transformation and alignment with Truth.
BETA launches soon.
Get ready.
