Samuel's journey to anoint the next king reminds us that God's calling often begins with clear direction but unfolds one step at a time. Although God told Samuel to go to Bethlehem, He did not immediately reveal who the next king would be. Samuel had to trust God through the process, resist relying on his own assumptions, and patiently wait for God's confirmation. This example teaches that following our calling requires obedience before clarity, a willingness to let go of past disappointments, and confidence that God sees beyond outward appearances to the heart. Like Samuel, we may know what God has called us to do without knowing every detail, but as we faithfully follow His guidance, He reveals each next step in His perfect timing. __________ 1 Samuel 16:1-13 NLT __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com __________

I am a strong believer of staying focused and not deviating from your calling, because focused pursuits over time bring success. Whereas, deviations from your path slow down your calling to a standstill. However, we also have Holy Spirit inside us who knows how to navigate the ups and downs of a calling. This means that there may be seasons when Holy Spirit will direct you to take an anointed deviation that may appear to break your focus. The difference between an anointed deviation verses a self-appointed deviation is that an anointed deviation does not slow down the success of your calling. It will compliment it. __________ 1 Kings 17:1–5 KJV, Acts 20:34 KJV, Ecclesiastes 10:19 KJV, 1 Corinthians 14:33 KJV, Proverbs 10:22 KJV __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com __________

A lot of women are trying to be like the superwoman of Proverbs 31. A lot of men want to marry her or want their wives to be her. She is a perfect wife, homemaker, mother, entrepreneur, real-estate investor, and is great with money. However, is that really obtainable? __________ Proverbs 31:10–12 KJV, Ecclesiastes 7:27–28 NLT, Ephesians 5:25–27 KJV, Matthew 13:57–58 KJV, 1 Peter 3:7 KJV __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com __________

This week's office hours focused on discussing artificial intelligence and its impact on various aspects of life and work. Pastor Amos shared his recent experience attending a Google workshop in New York about integrating AI into higher education, explaining how AI is transforming productivity tools and creating new high-paying job opportunities in AI engineering and AI project management. The discussion covered AI's potential to displace traditional jobs, particularly in fields like customer service and medical administration, while also exploring how AI can serve as a productivity tool for content creation and business development. Participants shared personal experiences using AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude, with some expressing concerns about privacy implications and the potential for AI to alter human personality and social interactions. The conversation emphasized the importance of using AI as a tool rather than seeking spiritual guidance from it, and highlighted how CFE is shifting toward building community rather than just providing content. __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com __________

God gives us assignments that are for a moment, season, or lifetime. As we are doing an assignment, we may not know which time frame it falls into. Therefore, it is important to stay connected to Holy Spirit and not assume an assignment from God is forever so that we can be open to hearing if (or when) a change in assignment comes. This is important because God's anointing for success follows His assignments. __________ Matthew 15:24 KJV, Matthew 10:5–7 KJV, Matthew 28:18–20 KJV, Acts 1:8–9 KJV, Acts 8:1 KJV, Acts 10:10–16 KJV __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com __________

Many married people are frustrated because their spouse doesn't believe in or support their vision. Why? Because God gave you the vision, not your spouse. Your faith has been activated to see something that doesn't exist yet, so you can believe the vision without seeing proof. However, your spouse may not have received a word from God about it, so they don't have a basis for faith yet, which means they will need to see some tangible proof. Let's explore the concept of asking God to provide your spouse with proof of success so your spouse can get on board with the vision. __________ Deuteronomy 18:21-22 KJV, Joshua 3:7-13,17 KJV, Matthew 4:23-24 KJV, Amos 3:3 KJV __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com __________

The union of marriage allows a husband and wife to experience the fullest representation of God. A husband and wife are a mirror image of who God is. __________ Matthew 19:11–12 MSG, Genesis 1:27 KJV, Genesis 2:22–24 KJV, Isaiah 66:13 KJV, Isaiah 49:15 KJV, Isaiah 66:9 KJV, Matthew 23:37 KJV, Galatians 3:28 KJV, Matthew 22:30 KJV __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com __________

We have been studying the love of money because this sin determines who is your god. Either the Lord is your God or money is your god. As we wrap up this topic (for now), I am discussing two ways the love of money will attempt to silence Christians from speaking against beliefs that are opposite God's ways. __________ Matthew 6:24 KJV, Matthew 4:8–10 KJV, Revelation 13:16–17 KJV __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com __________

As believers, we downplay our feelings and treat them like a bad guide. We do this because many of us have been taught not to trust our feelings. However, God created our feelings, just like He created our body and spirit, so why would we throw away something He created? Instead of throwing our feelings away, let's learn to use them. A born again believer who studies and meditates the Word consistently can trust their feelings as a guide to discern their calling. __________ Genesis 2:7 KJV, 1 Thessalonians 5:23 NLT, Hebrews 4:12 NLT, 1 Corinthians 12:14–15 KJV, Matthew 15:32 NLT, Mark 5:29 NLT, Acts 17:27 NLT, Romans 14:3 NLT, 1 John 3:20 NLT, Hebrews 5:14 KJV, Proverbs 20:5 KJV, Nehemiah 8:10 KJV, John 4:34 KJV __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com __________
