Incorporating God Within Your Business Strategy
In this age of Self-Made and Self-Made, incorporating God in your business is essential to make sure you are in alignment with what God has for you. The thing is God already has a plan for us as Ephesians 2:10, "Although you are not saved by good works, you are saved for good works. We are his workmanship, Paul says created in Christ Jesus for good works. When it comes to your salvation, God is crafting your life into a piece of art. He is working on you and doing something with you. You are being re-created to do good work. Good work is a divinely prescribed action that benefits others in such a way that God is glorified (see Matt 5:16) God saved you for his purposes and pleasures. Many Christians are unfulfilled and miserable because they never got around to doing the good work God has for them. When you understand the grace with which God saved you, gratitude will drive your response to it. The purpose of your life has already been designed. You don't have to come up with it. God prepared ahead of time for us to do the good works. He will give them the desire for them and the ability to pull them off, but you must live them out. Remember the canvas does not delicate to the painter, the painter dictates to the canvas."

That is ENOUGH, I can end the blog right there!!! In 2019 I had plans for Kingsskid, big plans, I created content, and verbiage, and was ready to release it on a certain day and I specifically heard God tell me no not yet. Of course, I felt some type of way but he later revealed to me why and once he revealed to me why I sat d said okay God. God specifically told me to do less with Kingsskid - stick to the basics, write, and do not promote speaking this year! Now if you're following me that consists of two things God told me not to do that would have made the blog bigger and better. Then later God told me to do less, and watch him do more, and more is exactly what he has done for me and Kingsskid.

I will drop 4 jewels of incorporating God into your business strategy
You gain insight and instruction you would not have gained otherwise. I did not plan to be laid off and experience a pandemic in 2020, however, God did, in his telling me to do less allowed me to build a solid framework for Kingsskid, work on things on the backend, and study how can I improve business process and systems.
You don't have to re-create the wheel- God has the blueprint that he wants us to follow so to gain access to the blueprint we must go to the one who has the blueprint. He's the navigation guide, we go to the navigation application, input where we want to go, or if it's a new place someone else sends us the address and we put it into the navigation app and we get step-by-step directions on how to get to our destination. God is the exact same way a ve to incorporate his directions into our business to receive step-by-step directions on where to go, what to avoid, and the delay that will be ahead of the journey.
Life becomes more fulfilling and your business flows and sustains in a way you could not have imagined. One of the most fulfilling things is when I see someone reply to the email sharing how it blesses them (YES, I read them and respond) or when someone downloads the material. Those emails make my heart skip a beat with joy. Those are the moments I look forward to knowing that what God has given me somebody needed it, will use it and apply it to help them live a crowned life.
He whispers your name in the hearts and minds of others. You don't know who God will use to whisper your name in a room that you have yet to enter. This has happened to me many times, where I am just doing what God tells me to do and an opportunity that I didn't even know about comes along. God rewards your faithfulness. He rewards your good works. He rewards his children.
So let's talk ... How have you been incorporating God within your business strategy? I want to see your answers.
