This came at the right time! God was just revealing so much to me about my photography and film business. I’m rebranding it as a Christian business because I want God to get the glory out of everything. 🙌🏽He also told me to keep everything clean and modest. No nudity or unrighteous imagery.

I too have a business making natural products. I had to purge the whole buniess from new age , yoga and other ungoldy practice. I did loose everything but that was not important as i gained good Christian following (smaller but more rewarding)
Do you want to know a way to flourish in your business endeavors? Exceed your clients expectations. I sell clothing bundles to people for a living. I always give more than what I advertise. Give them more of what they are already paying for. I also make HAND WRITTEN (one by one with their name on it) thank you letter thanking my customers for their contributions. I then inform them in the letter that their business contributions help me to provide clothing and hygiene items to the homeless in my community. Writing these letters keeps you humble. Writing these letters expresses gratitude to your clients and to God.
I love that, "Gods not in a rush". Its something the lord has spoken to me before and now again. The way the lord said it to me is, "God is more interested in the journey not the destination" we forget that God is more interested in who hes making us to be and the relationship part than just getting us to a certain point. Its just like when you raise a child your not initially excited to see them graduate college its just not the first thing you think of when you have a new born. Your excited for there first steps there first words AKA the journey. We forget God is not only God but he is a Father! God bless you all!
I've been looking for a Christian voice that truly uses business for God and not God for business. Thank you for being an example and taking the step to be a voice to seeks the Kingdom of God first, and not just for "all these other things" to be added unto you. Subscribed! Press on brother!
Just how! I’m moving place to place, building my e-commerce store online. Temporarily staying at my uncles because of how much persecution I experience in my home. They think I’m crazy, ignorant and dumb for pursuing such path. Yet I have a vision to build Gods kingdom and give back to the ministries. I’m in debt and struggling to get food. I do my best to find an income in the meantime so that way I can grow my business. God has humbled me and took away many things in life. All I have left are 10 pairs of clothes, laptop, phone and Bible. I have been surviving for nearly a month and I give all thanks to God. I will persevere through this. Thanks for this video!
Stay strong brother. We all have difficult beginnings, but the testimony I have is, as long as you don’t let go of God and don’t stop pushing, all will be well. God will bless you in all the ways you need. Amen

That guy giving you money out of nowhere like that changed you and I had a similar situation. I only had $3 for gas one day and I went in and paid but when I pumped my gas, it gave me $5 worth. I’m thinking the cashier messed up but with that, a young guy walked out and said you’re welcome. I said that was you? He said yeah I know what it’s like. The only put a couple dollars on a tank. It wasn’t much, it was only two dollars but the fact that he did that just changed my heart.
I have never heard someone talking that openly about god and business specifically on Jesus Christ, I’m Mexican and I’m now growing a business but I di not want to fall into greed but at the same time I want to provide and protect my family thank you for this video.

This is a powerful message, and I'm really glad YT suggested it. It also brought revelation to me and twice I had to pause the video and write things down, which the Father was speaking to me. Be blessed.
@@JesusEsDios007 .. There is always more to glean from any scripture, no matter how long we study it. If a believer isn't listening to God's voice, revealing his Word to us in new, personal ways, then that person may be missing out on much of what he has planned for them! And if we get a revelation from him, it must be confirmed in scripture. This is the essence of meditating on his Word day and night. "But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God." -1 Cor 2:9-10
This is so encouraging and making me feel like okay I’m not crazy he does dream so much bigger for us and sometimes it’s hard to understand but he’s molding us rn thank you Jesus
6:23 - I'm going through something similar. I'm leaving a job that hasnt been good for my faith, and I haven't got a replacment yet. If any of you are, please send me your name, and I'd like to pray for you
Paul, you probably would not read this, but 'eye of the needle' is a reference to small gate in Jerusalem where camel could go through only when stripped away from all the luggage.
Respectfully, no. Whether that actually was a gate, this is not commonly supported by biblical scholars as the intent and correct translation of this passage. What Jesus said was intentional and afterward the other disciples acknowledged how shocking this was and asked “who then can be saved” - because in those times the rich were thought to be blessed and anointed by God - and Jesus responded saying that “with people this is impossible but with God all things are possible”. Obviously with people it is impossible for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. But the rich young ruler made a choice or at least it is evidenced where his heart was at the time by the fact that he was saddened by what Jesus said. The eye of the needle is hyperbole and is another parable, as Mr Daley said. “The rich young ruler was sad for he had many things” so we can see in his heart he loved material things more than he loved God. Guess what? This man may still have gained his salvation at some point. We are all prone to do what he did. That’s the point! The point is we need a Savior. “With God all things are possible”! Just like fitting a camel through the eye of a needle is impossible for people, it is also impossible for us to be perfect. And the requirements of those who enter Heaven are 1) perfection, or 2) those who are forgiven because they have believed. So we shouldn’t try to minimize the harshness of the passage because it actually speaks to Jesus’ love and grace for us. Hopefully that makes sense
Paul - love your heart on this and it's exactly where God is trying to get us at. God has asked us to trust him, not necessarily understand him. Also, I think a lot of us have been guilty of thinking whatever God is calling me to is gonna be "Big". And to that I say, this might be more of a heart issue or some brokenness still going on inside. There are plenty of stories of God giving people what they asked, but in his way and not exactly what people wanted or asked for themselves. Like we want to help people, maybe do missions, because we have Christ inside us .. and to do something "Big". But for some the real reason we want to go do and do this is because we like adventure, travel, and expressing our own selves rather than having the mindset of serving others and thinking about how we can be useful rather than having a personal experience. I'm certainly guilty of this when I was younger.. it was all about chasing the story. The testing part is difficult and sometimes feels impossible, but this just shows how much God loves us and has the best for us in the end. "To live is Christ, to die is gain."
This was amazing, I recently stated at door to door sales and have been progressing rapidly. The only thing is, even when I have successful weeks all I want to do is still be able to grow and learn. I'm never truly satisfied. I am beyond thankful for what God has given me. The thing's I pray about he gives me. It's truly incredible to see God at work in our lives. It's also refreshing to see this side of what it is like to have business and God co-existing. What wonders lay ahead!
Thank you I have been pagraying about this. I want to start my own company and didn't know how to go about it. I had recently accepted Jesus as my lords and savior and like anything when you have come into something with little to no knowledge it can be hard to find the answers so thank you again.
I hear you on the process and taking time. I have seen the Lord grow my character, but some days the test of waiting on Him bears me down since I want to do so much for His kingdom and serving people. I think this is a good frustration to have though. Some people may say I’m “lazy” but if God isn’t behind my ideas I don’t even want to start them because I know I can fish all night and catch nothing without Gods hand upon my business.
First video I see from you... Pretty much power on this words... It helped me realize that I need to trust the God's process, and not mine... Thank you... From another Kingdom Citizen
As a 27-year-old, I've experienced countless failures and the overwhelming feeling of hard work not paying off. This video came at the perfect time. It feels like a message from above telling me to stop rushing and trust in God's timing."
Interesting timing for your video to pop into my feed as I recently lost my job due to restructuring and am in the pursuit of a new opportunity. I'm not positive that money is an idol in my life but I do know that a lot of my identity is tied up in being a "provider". I appreciate the reality check.
Wooow, I needed to hear this so so much right now. Praise God that He put your video on my feed ❤ I was led to quit my job nearly a year and a half ago. Since January I'm self employed but haven't seen ANY financial gains yet. I was literally just crying to the Lord that I can't do it any longer. Your video just gave me new strength and reminded me that He perfectly knows what He is doing, we just need to put our trust in Him. God bless! ❤
God used this video just in time for me today. I have just got done talking with my friend about money becoming an idol in my life. Wow, praise the Lord for his providence. And thank you Paul and Ali for the video!
I remember having this talk with my uncle a preacher, and he explained it to me so well. Currently I want my business to succeed, have financial freedom for my future family. However I noticed these were signs that I was not trusting God with my growth, I was not putting my faith that He will provide for me. I learned to let these things go, and learn that faith also comes through action, action of letting go of worries, action of trusting more and NOT relying on my own understanding, action to pray more so I can receive guidance. What you preached was the same as what he said to me, especially the parable of "Good teacher". thank you, Be blessed everyone :)
Serving God, creating value for people and taking care of my family... This is my calling! Thank you for sharing some of your wisdom Paul, I am also an entrepreneur, I am just getting to know you and I identify with what you say!
Just as some people in the comments, this video came just in the right time for me. Its been some years since I started a 3D printing business (tho only now I'm getting it to work properly), and months ago I started to want God upon everything I create, especially this business. And everything Is getting lined up, I thank God so much and I know the life I'm living right now is just the start of everything, there are thousands, maybe millions of souls to hear of God from my voice and my other projects, and that is what I want to seek more than the money
My husband also reminded me of something the other day: even if our day to day work is not directly able to impact God’s kingdom, it gives us the ability to sow into church and empower those who are directly impacting God’s kingdom. We just need to be operating faithfully in the area God has opened for us and always give our firstfruits and tithe etc to the church. 👏
Amen, I've been following the Lord on the path of entrepreneurship for 6 years now. The growth was much slower than I would have liked but looking back so necessary and I'm grateful for roadblocks or with holding that He ordained because we would not have been ready for it. He even gave me a taste of what I thought I wanted and it was incredibly stressful under my own strength and ego. Since His restructuring we built strong and slow and have been doubling the last two years by his sovereign grace. We have a full team of strong believers and I'm daily grateful and astounded by His goodness. There are more areas I would like to clean up but through His loving refining fire I know those days are coming in His perfect timing. Maranatha and God Bless
That’s an awesome testimony! I was on the same boat, 6 years ago a seed of entrepreneurship was planted by one of my close friends. Shortly after he passed away. Then I started pursuing anything in the realm of financials mainly for the money in the beginning. Always wanting to just “make it” and be “rich”. But it was so empty. I only found that out because God showed me the true excitement and love when it comes to entrepreneurship. It’s about the journey to embark on and the things you learn and have to learn in order to reach your goals. Not only that, but he also showed me how empty It truly felt to only chase money. If your heart isn’t in it and if you’re not passionate about it, odds are that isn’t for you. So ever since realizing that I’ve been having an awesome time being patient but also learning as much as I can and with so much passion. God put roadblocks in front of me because I wasn’t ready for what’s about to come into my life in terms of success in the entrepreneurial world. And I am so grateful and happy that he did because I wouldn’t be who I am if it weren’t for that. Thank you my lord and savior Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father 🙏🏻❤️

I had to leave work many years ago to care for a family member. I have a wife and three children. Things have been hard to the point of being homeless in temporary accommodation and having to live in areas where there are shootings and stabbings. About 18 months ago God showed me a way to make money from home through reselling clothes. This allowed me to better my position somewhat but for the last month or two it's been so slow I have been really struggling. I'm absolutely desperate to better the lives of my wife and children. Please pray that I will have more success. As a dad, I want to represent God to my family and show He isn't a God of lack
Such a good video and a are very wise perspective! Walking with Jesus and wanting to grow God's kingdom is such an incredible feeling. Came to Christ about 1,5 years ago, it hasn't been an easy ride, but it has truly been a BLESSED ride! All glory to God! God Bless everyone
Wow. Thank you so much for the video. It can be very hard especially for young people but god is with all of us and he has the exact right way for all of us. I wish you all the best, god is with all of us!
I'm in a situation where I thought I was doing what God wanted me to do for my business, but every single business idea that came to me didn't work out, and I always came back to square one. I don't know whether God did this to shape and mold me to be someone that He wants, or maybe the time was just not right, or perhaps it was all only my imagination and fantasies to be able to do a business as if I was glorifying God. I know that It's been only 4 years since I got saved and purposely took a 180 turn from pursuing earthly things to actually serving God the best way I possibly can, However through this video I learned that time is something that I cannot see objectively through the lens of God But I still have my faith and trust in Him to do whatever He feels best for me
What a video, I just wrote about this this on my journal yesterday, this is not perfect timing, it’s divine timing. Thank you very much Paul, God Bless you
Well said. A great reminder exclamation thanks for sharing! And it is so true that there are many business gurus who idolize money. Christians have to change the trend!
Your mission statement is exactly what I had in mind trying to achieve personal and business excellence, then answer people asking how, that it's only through God and Jesus Christ that I was able to do that.
Damn I needed to hear this. It's great to see you talking about God and prioritizing Him in business and what you're doing in the world, good video Paul
Thank you, brother. So encouraging to hear another brother in business talk about the importance of Jesus and the Bible in business. May you affect millions and millions of businesses around the world.
Thanks for the video man. The Lord really put this on my feed. I’ve just joined DL so recognised you from there and it gives me joy to know that you’re a man of God and that I can put Jesus at the forefront of my work. I always struggle with wondering if going down an entrepreneurial path is wrong but I don’t necessarily have a choice anymore but still want God to be my focus in everything.
Thanks man, your video was the first recommended video on TH-cam for me. Currently feel like going through the motion and your words on making God a part of the business was exactly for me, having a higher goal in business other than money is something we often forget about. Thanks.

But no matter the growth I’ve made, this video speaks to all , at different levels. Even if you get 1,000 views a video or more or less , now, 1 year from now, 5 years from now, don’t stop making these videos. Out of all of the 1,000 or whatever amount you get, the message can truly help even a single individual. God bless you , thank you for the message
Do you want to know a way to flourish in your business endeavors? Exceed your clients expectations. I sell clothing bundles to people for a living. I always give more than what I advertise. Give them more of what they are already paying for. I also make HAND WRITTEN (one by one with their name on it) thank you letter thanking my customers for their contributions. I then inform them in the letter that their business contributions help me to provide clothing and hygiene items to the homeless in my community. Writing these letters keeps you humble. Writing these letters expresses gratitude to your clients and to God.

The Lord spoke to me through this video! I’m planning on starting a recording business and this has been everything I’ve been praying about!
You sound stvpid asf.
Let's goooo! Come check out the Christian Business community I'm building on skool! I'd love to connect there.
Thank you for this testimony. God bless you
This is a powerful message, and I'm really glad YT suggested it. It also brought revelation to me and twice I had to pause the video and write things down, which the Father was speaking to me. Be blessed.
God is good, all the time
The only revelation you get is already in the bible. New revelation is how cults are created. I suggest you learn hermeneutics.
@@JesusEsDios007 .. There is always more to glean from any scripture, no matter how long we study it. If a believer isn't listening to God's voice, revealing his Word to us in new, personal ways, then that person may be missing out on much of what he has planned for them! And if we get a revelation from him, it must be confirmed in scripture. This is the essence of meditating on his Word day and night.
"But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God." -1 Cor 2:9-10
This is so encouraging and making me feel like okay I’m not crazy he does dream so much bigger for us and sometimes it’s hard to understand but he’s molding us rn thank you Jesus
Thank you brother this encouraged me so much!
this is gold bro. thank you for the wisdom.
6:23 - I'm going through something similar. I'm leaving a job that hasnt been good for my faith, and I haven't got a replacment yet. If any of you are, please send me your name, and I'd like to pray for you
Love this video 🙌🏻. God truly has gave you this purpose!
This was beautiful brother. Thank you for sharing our Lord's love and truth.
I really needed this video, thanks you brother. I will pray for you.
Paul, you probably would not read this, but 'eye of the needle' is a reference to small gate in Jerusalem where camel could go through only when stripped away from all the luggage.
Respectfully, no. Whether that actually was a gate, this is not commonly supported by biblical scholars as the intent and correct translation of this passage. What Jesus said was intentional and afterward the other disciples acknowledged how shocking this was and asked “who then can be saved” - because in those times the rich were thought to be blessed and anointed by God - and Jesus responded saying that “with people this is impossible but with God all things are possible”. Obviously with people it is impossible for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. But the rich young ruler made a choice or at least it is evidenced where his heart was at the time by the fact that he was saddened by what Jesus said. The eye of the needle is hyperbole and is another parable, as Mr Daley said. “The rich young ruler was sad for he had many things” so we can see in his heart he loved material things more than he loved God. Guess what? This man may still have gained his salvation at some point. We are all prone to do what he did. That’s the point! The point is we need a Savior. “With God all things are possible”! Just like fitting a camel through the eye of a needle is impossible for people, it is also impossible for us to be perfect. And the requirements of those who enter Heaven are 1) perfection, or 2) those who are forgiven because they have believed. So we shouldn’t try to minimize the harshness of the passage because it actually speaks to Jesus’ love and grace for us. Hopefully that makes sense
This has hella significance bro 😂😂😊😊
This has been proven not to be accurate...
Love that 👏
@@kelaboddieIt has been also Proven that Fools air their own views.
Refinement through the fire!! Thank you for your words. 🙏
Paul - love your heart on this and it's exactly where God is trying to get us at. God has asked us to trust him, not necessarily understand him. Also, I think a lot of us have been guilty of thinking whatever God is calling me to is gonna be "Big". And to that I say, this might be more of a heart issue or some brokenness still going on inside.
There are plenty of stories of God giving people what they asked, but in his way and not exactly what people wanted or asked for themselves. Like we want to help people, maybe do missions, because we have Christ inside us .. and to do something "Big". But for some the real reason we want to go do and do this is because we like adventure, travel, and expressing our own selves rather than having the mindset of serving others and thinking about how we can be useful rather than having a personal experience. I'm certainly guilty of this when I was younger.. it was all about chasing the story.
The testing part is difficult and sometimes feels impossible, but this just shows how much God loves us and has the best for us in the end. "To live is Christ, to die is gain."
Beautifully well said video. May the lord continue to bless you and guide you
Continue doing what your doing, you're helping more people than your realize
This was amazing, I recently stated at door to door sales and have been progressing rapidly. The only thing is, even when I have successful weeks all I want to do is still be able to grow and learn. I'm never truly satisfied. I am beyond thankful for what God has given me. The thing's I pray about he gives me. It's truly incredible to see God at work in our lives. It's also refreshing to see this side of what it is like to have business and God co-existing. What wonders lay ahead!
Thank you I have been pagraying about this. I want to start my own company and didn't know how to go about it. I had recently accepted Jesus as my lords and savior and like anything when you have come into something with little to no knowledge it can be hard to find the answers so thank you again.
So true! Great way to start a new week thank you for all these important reminders.
I hear you on the process and taking time. I have seen the Lord grow my character, but some days the test of waiting on Him bears me down since I want to do so much for His kingdom and serving people. I think this is a good frustration to have though. Some people may say I’m “lazy” but if God isn’t behind my ideas I don’t even want to start them because I know I can fish all night and catch nothing without Gods hand upon my business.
First video I see from you... Pretty much power on this words... It helped me realize that I need to trust the God's process, and not mine... Thank you... From another Kingdom Citizen
amazing video and perspective, thank you and God bless you! this is what all Christians who are led to build a business should hear
As a 27-year-old, I've experienced countless failures and the overwhelming feeling of hard work not paying off. This video came at the perfect time. It feels like a message from above telling me to stop rushing and trust in God's timing."
Interesting timing for your video to pop into my feed as I recently lost my job due to restructuring and am in the pursuit of a new opportunity. I'm not positive that money is an idol in my life but I do know that a lot of my identity is tied up in being a "provider". I appreciate the reality check.
Wooow, I needed to hear this so so much right now. Praise God that He put your video on my feed ❤
I was led to quit my job nearly a year and a half ago. Since January I'm self employed but haven't seen ANY financial gains yet. I was literally just crying to the Lord that I can't do it any longer. Your video just gave me new strength and reminded me that He perfectly knows what He is doing, we just need to put our trust in Him. God bless! ❤
Thank you for sharing Paul. Great reminder when we feel lost.
Thank you! This helps me to keep going forward. This my calling.
God used this video just in time for me today. I have just got done talking with my friend about money becoming an idol in my life. Wow, praise the Lord for his providence. And thank you Paul and Ali for the video!
Perfect as a recent startup believer.
I remember having this talk with my uncle a preacher, and he explained it to me so well. Currently I want my business to succeed, have financial freedom for my future family. However I noticed these were signs that I was not trusting God with my growth, I was not putting my faith that He will provide for me. I learned to let these things go, and learn that faith also comes through action, action of letting go of worries, action of trusting more and NOT relying on my own understanding, action to pray more so I can receive guidance. What you preached was the same as what he said to me, especially the parable of "Good teacher". thank you, Be blessed everyone :)
All Praise to God our Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ !🙏🏽♥️
Thank You Paul❤
Brother you have spoken the wisdom of God. Thank you for this precious message
Thank you Paul. May the Lord our God bless you and keep you.
This was awesome, thank you! Nothing is possible without Jesus.
Serving God, creating value for people and taking care of my family... This is my calling!
Thank you for sharing some of your wisdom Paul, I am also an entrepreneur, I am just getting to know you and I identify with what you say!
Thanks a lot, I felt like God wanted me to watch this video and that I need to be prepared to handle money or stuff that is to come.
Thank you for your nearness brother! He is a Good Father.
Just as some people in the comments, this video came just in the right time for me. Its been some years since I started a 3D printing business (tho only now I'm getting it to work properly), and months ago I started to want God upon everything I create, especially this business. And everything Is getting lined up, I thank God so much and I know the life I'm living right now is just the start of everything, there are thousands, maybe millions of souls to hear of God from my voice and my other projects, and that is what I want to seek more than the money
Thank you so much for answering God’s call with this video. I’ve never seen you or your channel before but I was glued to the message 🙏🏾
my family has been struggling with financial problems lately, and suddenly youtube suggested this video to me... God really works in mysterious ways.
Gods timing for this video was impeccable, God bless you brother!
My husband also reminded me of something the other day: even if our day to day work is not directly able to impact God’s kingdom, it gives us the ability to sow into church and empower those who are directly impacting God’s kingdom. We just need to be operating faithfully in the area God has opened for us and always give our firstfruits and tithe etc to the church. 👏
Amen, I've been following the Lord on the path of entrepreneurship for 6 years now. The growth was much slower than I would have liked but looking back so necessary and I'm grateful for roadblocks or with holding that He ordained because we would not have been ready for it. He even gave me a taste of what I thought I wanted and it was incredibly stressful under my own strength and ego. Since His restructuring we built strong and slow and have been doubling the last two years by his sovereign grace. We have a full team of strong believers and I'm daily grateful and astounded by His goodness. There are more areas I would like to clean up but through His loving refining fire I know those days are coming in His perfect timing. Maranatha and God Bless
That’s an awesome testimony! I was on the same boat, 6 years ago a seed of entrepreneurship was planted by one of my close friends. Shortly after he passed away. Then I started pursuing anything in the realm of financials mainly for the money in the beginning. Always wanting to just “make it” and be “rich”. But it was so empty. I only found that out because God showed me the true excitement and love when it comes to entrepreneurship. It’s about the journey to embark on and the things you learn and have to learn in order to reach your goals. Not only that, but he also showed me how empty It truly felt to only chase money. If your heart isn’t in it and if you’re not passionate about it, odds are that isn’t for you. So ever since realizing that I’ve been having an awesome time being patient but also learning as much as I can and with so much passion. God put roadblocks in front of me because I wasn’t ready for what’s about to come into my life in terms of success in the entrepreneurial world. And I am so grateful and happy that he did because I wouldn’t be who I am if it weren’t for that. Thank you my lord and savior Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father 🙏🏻❤️

So good! Amen and Praise God! Love this content to learn how to live this life for His Kingdom.
Wow. This blew my mind and was just what I needed. Having a bleeding heart over my ailing business, this brings some relief.
I had to leave work many years ago to care for a family member. I have a wife and three children. Things have been hard to the point of being homeless in temporary accommodation and having to live in areas where there are shootings and stabbings. About 18 months ago God showed me a way to make money from home through reselling clothes. This allowed me to better my position somewhat but for the last month or two it's been so slow I have been really struggling. I'm absolutely desperate to better the lives of my wife and children. Please pray that I will have more success. As a dad, I want to represent God to my family and show He isn't a God of lack
Great video! Business people and entrepreneurs need to hear this message. God is the source of everything good!
Such a good video and a are very wise perspective!
Walking with Jesus and wanting to grow God's kingdom is such an incredible feeling.
Came to Christ about 1,5 years ago, it hasn't been an easy ride, but it has truly been a BLESSED ride!
All glory to God!
God Bless everyone
Wow. Thank you so much for the video. It can be very hard especially for young people but god is with all of us and he has the exact right way for all of us. I wish you all the best, god is with all of us!
Wow, one of the best videos i ever saw on youtube, perfect timing brother, jesus is king! God bless you and your family
I'm in a situation where I thought I was doing what God wanted me to do for my business, but every single business idea that came to me didn't work out, and I always came back to square one.
I don't know whether God did this to shape and mold me to be someone that He wants, or maybe the time was just not right, or perhaps it was all only my imagination and fantasies to be able to do a business as if I was glorifying God.
I know that It's been only 4 years since I got saved and purposely took a 180 turn from pursuing earthly things to actually serving God the best way I possibly can, However through this video I learned that time is something that I cannot see objectively through the lens of God
But I still have my faith and trust in Him to do whatever He feels best for me
You give so much wisdom man
“God is not in a rush to solve your problems. He wants to develop you and development takes time.” Awesome video thank you 👍
What a video, I just wrote about this this on my journal yesterday, this is not perfect timing, it’s divine timing. Thank you very much Paul, God Bless you
Well said. A great reminder exclamation thanks for sharing! And it is so true that there are many business gurus who idolize money. Christians have to change the trend!
Amen
Your mission statement is exactly what I had in mind trying to achieve personal and business excellence, then answer people asking how, that it's only through God and Jesus Christ that I was able to do that.
This was amazing to hear. Huge part of my life right now. Thank you for the perfect reminder. God bless.
Damn I needed to hear this. It's great to see you talking about God and prioritizing Him in business and what you're doing in the world, good video Paul
This video is just too short 😢… Thank you for the great Wisdom my brother 🙏🏼
Beautiful video and much appreciated. Thank you my brother in Christ!
This is so good and so timely!!! Thank you for sharing
This is good my friend. I appreciate the powerful words. May God bless this channel.
Thank you, brother. So encouraging to hear another brother in business talk about the importance of Jesus and the Bible in business. May you affect millions and millions of businesses around the world.
The more I give, the more I receive
Great mission! Believe it or not. I found you thru educate
This video shook my soul. Thank you for doing this man 🙏
Thanks for the video man. The Lord really put this on my feed. I’ve just joined DL so recognised you from there and it gives me joy to know that you’re a man of God and that I can put Jesus at the forefront of my work. I always struggle with wondering if going down an entrepreneurial path is wrong but I don’t necessarily have a choice anymore but still want God to be my focus in everything.
Thanks man, your video was the first recommended video on TH-cam for me. Currently feel like going through the motion and your words on making God a part of the business was exactly for me, having a higher goal in business other than money is something we often forget about. Thanks.

this spoke to me so heavy , I wasn't sure if I should keep pursing and building my business because I was facing a lot of opposition but this video made me realize that is actually shaping me , molding me , and testing me for what is to come !!!
