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. …

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…

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…

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…

Have you ever wondered whether you are being called to a particular field, career, or business? If so, there are three questions you should ask yourself to determine if you are being called there. Do you have an interest in that area? Do you have a basic natural ability in that area? Are you motivated to increase your ability in that area? If you c…

Paul explains the simplicity of salvation in contrast to the complex methods humans devise to be right with God. He longs for his fellow Israelites to be saved but laments that many won't be, while the Gentiles will reach God before them. Paul also outlines the straightforward two-step process of salvation: (1) believe in your heart and (2) confess…

When God gives us an assignment, there is also a time frame associated with it. If you delay implementing the assignment, then you need to check with God to make sure He stills wants you to do it. Going back and doing what God has told you to do in the past (without checking in with Him) could cause unnecessary problems in your life. Partnership: h…

For various reasons, the time may not be right for you to receive the fullness of the vision God has given you. Therefore, God needs you to be patient, but He has not left you hanging. His blessing will protect you and provide for you until the time is right for your vision to be realized. Partnership: https://amosjohnsonjr.com/partner Church for E…

Your calling involves numerous decisions, both small and large, each with its own consequences. That's why it's crucial to clearly hear the voice of God when making decisions. However, understanding how to hear God's voice can be difficult if you're unsure how to do so. In today's study, I'll be teaching you how to hear the voice of God.…

It’s tempting to say that because our vision is God’s will for our life, it will automatically be successful. However, this is far from reality because the success of our vision is not based on the will of God. Listen to today’s study to learn what your success is based on.

Because your pastor is not in business, you may feel like that they don’t have the experience or knowledge to counsel you in your own business endeavors. However, this line of thinking will stop you from receiving game-changing business success or could cause you to crash and burn in business. Partnership: https://amosjohnsonjr.com/partner Church f…

God gives us spiritual knowledge to implement in a natural world, so our entrepreneurial endeavors can be successful. However, if we first don’t have natural knowledge related to our calling, then spiritual knowledge is useless.

Today, I felt led by the Spirit that God wants me to cultivate a culture of prosperity among the members of Church for Entrepreneurs. This means that here in CFE, there is a tangible expectation that we will be prosperous in our calling and have numerous testimonies of prosperity. I believe He wants us to be examples of how God prospers His people …

Mary’s faith to conceive Jesus is a great example for us of how to stretch our mind and spirit to receive the vision God has for us. When presented with the greatest calling of all time (giving birth to the messiah) instead of doubt, Mary stretched her mind beyond human understanding and simply asked – How shall this be.

So God has given you a calling. But what type of calling? Is it a business, nonprofit, or ministry? Well, if you are pondering this question, check out today’s message as we explore the differences among business, nonprofit, and ministry callings.

To lead, you don’t need to lose weight, dye your hair, change your eye color, or do anything else society finds attractive. Your ability to lead is not based on what’s attractive to society, but the anointing that’s on your life. This is critical to know because if you think (or even slightly think) your ability to lead is tied to looking like what…

There are lots of problems in the world that desperately need to be solved.

Many Christians question their ability to lead their calling to success because they focus on their natural credentials and past track record. However, if God has called you to do it, He has anointed you to lead it. It’s not about your natural ability; you will succeed in leading because of the leadership anointing that God has placed on you.…

Everyone is tempted to give up on their vision at various times because even God-given ideas experience obstacles occasionally. However, the obstacles actually help strengthen us so we can be successful in our vision. Therefore, don’t allow temptation to cause you to give up. Listen to today’s message to dig into this idea.…

Proverbs 10:22 KJV The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. Genesis 27:28-30 NLT [28] "From the dew of heaven and the richness of the earth, may God always give you abundant harvests of grain and bountiful new wine. [29] May many nations become your servants, and may they bow down to you. May you be the master over…

There are moments in life when the assignment God gave you has come to an end. It's similar to when God instructed Elijah to go to the brook Cherith, where ravens would bring him meat, and he could drink from the brook. But eventually, the brook dried up, and it was time for him to move on and take a new direction. However, there are also times whe…

Have you ever wondered why you can't hear the voice of God or what you can do to make it clearer in your life? I believe the parable that answers these questions is found in Mark 4:13-20. Jesus told us that this is the parable we need to understand, and if we don't understand it, we won't understand any other parables. This parable explains how God…

I am answering a question from one of our community members. They are wondering if I am teaching conflicting messages because, in one message, I say not to let lack make you do things outside of your vision, but in another message, I say that you may need side income to help fund the vision or provide for your home. These two messages have created …

We're looking at Romans 9, which contains 33 verses. We're going to examine the entire chapter because Paul is making one point, and if we break it up too much, we might miss the overall picture. Paul is showing his heart for his Jewish brothers and sisters to be saved, but he explains why it's difficult for them to be saved, even though they were …

“How do I get out of debt?” Well, the common answer is to cut expenses and live below your means. However, that is only part of the solution. The other half (probably the most important half) of the solution is to make more money. When we look at the scripture, the answer God gave us to get out of debt is to make more money through the blessing on …

We have been studying the love of money because this sin determines who is your god. Either the Lord is your God or money is your god. As we wrap up this topic (for now), I am discussing two ways the love of money will attempt to silence Christians from speaking against beliefs that are opposite God’s ways.…
