Own Your Greatness (Business Devo)

The Growtime Show

Reference:

Romans 4:16-21, 24

Learn powerful lessons from Abraham in the Bible on believing God's promises despite impossible odds, removing all doubt, leveraging your talents, and owning your identity to achieve greatness in business and life.

Summary

In this business devotional from Romans 4, host Ken Ott dives into the story of Abraham from the Bible. Abraham displayed incredible faith, belief in God's promise that he would father nations, and resilience despite his old age and wife being barren.

Ken emphasizes how God can speak things into existence, just as our words hold power too. Like Abraham, we must have unwavering faith and belief to receive the promises and calling God has for our lives.

Abraham strengthened his faith in God despite discouraging circumstances and did not allow doubt to creep in. Ken explains why doubt holds us back and how intentional inputs and habits condition our mindset.

Additional topics covered include the importance of spiritual strength for business success, inspiration from people who "own their greatness", and how the faith to believe in your talents is the same faith that saves you.

Tune in for encouragement to boldly pursue your talents and God-given mission!

Show Highlights

[3:33] God can speak things into existence, just as our words have power too when we believe. Like Abraham, boldly declare promises from God that don’t yet exist.

[7:12] Abraham displayed incredible strength and resources before receiving God’s promise. Weakness cannot produce great faith needed to believe in supernatural calling.

[12:13] Stay focused by intentionally removing doubt, discouraging input, and doubters who introduce uncertainty. Surround yourself with encouragers who believe in your calling.

[17:33] Hope fuels belief to become the person needed to carry the promise. Despite improbable circumstances, own the identity to match God’s word over your life.

[21:02] An unclear mission drains strength while a clarified purpose from God gives unending energy to enthusiastically pursue it. Seek and wait if unsure.

[26:18] Confidence in God’s promise sustains belief when hard times come rather than discouragement that it won’t happen. Trust God’s ability, not your own.

[30:44] Releasing false humility allows you to fully leverage your talents for God’s glory. Your greatness gives you an influential platform to inspire others.

[41:13] Ken mentions the importance of making a significant investment in your business. “Buy something expensive that scares you, that is an investment, but also something that expands your level. You can't sell someone something for $100,000 If you don't buy something for $100,000.”

[44:18] The faith Abraham displayed to believe God’s promises is the same faith that saves your soul. Seeking earthly greatness and eternal salvation require trusting who God says you are.
