This message is taught by Amos Johnson Jr, PhD. He leads and pastors Church for Entrepreneurs. God has given him a calling to help believers succeed at their calling. He believes a fulfilled life comes from clearly knowing what God has called you to do and doing it.
Discussion summary & scripture references
Christian entrepreneurs worldwide are trying to “figure out” how to succeed in their calling. However, figuring it out is stressing many of us out. Why? Because God has not called us to make success happen, but to receive success in our calling. Listen to the replay from our Faith Discussion (from April 19, 2020 at 6 pm est) to hear more about this concept.
Psalm 37:4-5 KJV
[4] Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
[5] Commit thy way unto the Lord ; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
John 5:30 KJV
[30] I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
John 5:30 AMPC
[30] I am able to do nothing from Myself [independently, of My own accord-but only as I am taught by God and as I get His orders]. Even as I hear, I judge [I decide as I am bidden to decide. As the voice comes to Me, so I give a decision], and My judgment is right (just, righteous), because I do not seek or consult My own will [I have no desire to do what is pleasing to Myself, My own aim, My own purpose] but only the will and pleasure of the Father Who sent Me.
Philippians 2:13 AMPC
[13] [Not in your own strength] for it is God Who is all the while effectually at work in you [energizing and creating in you the power and desire], both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight.
Matthew 6:33-34 AMPC
[33] But seek ( aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness ( His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides.
[34] So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble.
1 Kings 17:1-9 AMPC

[3] Go from here and turn east and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, east of the Jordan.

[5] So he did according to the word of the Lord; he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, east of the Jordan.
[6] And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning and bread and flesh in the evening, and he drank of the brook.
[7] After a while the brook dried up because there was no rain in the land.

[9] Not of works, lest any man should boast.
