Why God ideas fail to succeed (Part I)

Message summary & scripture references

A God idea is insight from God to your spirit to implement a particular idea in the marketplace. These ideas are designed to be profitable, but many believers struggle to find success with them. In today’s message (which is Part 1), I am examining why this is the case.

Proverbs 8:12 KJV

[12] I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.

Proverbs 24:3-4 KJV

[3] Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:
[4] And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.

Romans 10:17 KJV

[17] So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Proverbs 2:2 KJV

[2] So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;

Proverbs 2:10 KJV

[10] When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;

Acts 17:22-23 KJV

[22] Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars’ hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.
[23] For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.

James 2:17 KJV

[17] Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

Matthew 25:14-30 KJV

[14] For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
[15] And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.
[16] Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.
[17] And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.
[18] But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.
[19] After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
[20] And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.
[21] His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
[22] He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.
[23] His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
[24] Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:
[25] And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.
[26] His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:
[27] Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.
[28] Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.
[29] For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
[30] And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Proverbs 15:22 NLT

[22] Plans go wrong for lack of advice; many advisers bring success.
