Faith Chat summary and scripture references
Over these last few Faith Chats, God has instructed me to open up about the transition He is leading me through. God desires for the Church for Entrepreneurs (CFE) to go to the next level, but the next level requires me to work at CFE full time. This means I need to leave behind some financial opportunities that have been providing for my family, so I can free up my time to give fully to CFE.
As you can imagine, this presents some interesting family challenges with tough conversations. In today’s Faith Chat, I am sharing how God has instructed me to approach going to the next level without crushing my family financially. As you consume today’s message, listen for how God is uniquely leading you to making your own transition to the next level.
Genesis 1:26-29 KJV
[26] And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
[27] So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
[28] And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
[29] And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
Genesis 2:7-8 KJV
[7] And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
[8] And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
Genesis 30:25,30,43 KJV
[25] And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country.
[30] For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it is now increased unto a multitude; and the Lord hath blessed thee since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?
[43] And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses.
1 Corinthians 7:32-34 NLT
[32] I want you to be free from the concerns of this life. An unmarried man can spend his time doing the Lord’s work and thinking how to please him.
[33] But a married man has to think about his earthly responsibilities and how to please his wife.
[34] His interests are divided. In the same way, a woman who is no longer married or has never been married can be devoted to the Lord and holy in body and in spirit. But a married woman has to think about her earthly responsibilities and how to please her husband.
