Business Blessings

Episode 3 of our Connections Podcast has just dropped.

This week's focus is on "Hearing the Voice of God in a Crisis". When you are in business, it does seem that we move from one "crisis" to another. Issues with suppliers, customers, employees, government regulations and pushing forward into new territories.

The key is your regular times with God. But what is it like when you need to make decisions on the run, without a lot of uncertainty?

In this podcast, we look at the chaos surrounding Jesus's arrest, yet everything took place so that "the scriptures are fulfilled." God is working to bring about his plans and purposes for you.

I also share some personal situations in which God has guided me, hopefully as encouragement to you.

You can listen on our website at the link below, or subscribe to the Business Blessings Connections podcast using Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Deezer, Jiosaawn or iHeartRadio.

Would love to hear your feedback on this podcast.

I'm pleased to announce that I've launched the first two episodes of my Business Blessings Connections podcast.

It is based on our mission at Business Blessings, which is to connect people to God and others through profound strategies that help them to glorify God and grow you and your business supernaturally.

The first episode covers my history and the podcast's key focus areas.

The second looks at the seven power gifts of the spirit based on Isaiah 11:1-3 and how God has spoken to me about these, and some great insight into the impact that these can have in your personal and business life.

The Podcast is available on apple podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Deezer, Amazon Music and Jiosaavn (for my Indian friends).

Taking action may seem risky.
But doing nothing is a more considerable risk!

Here is a question to ask at the start of a meeting:

“What question are we trying to solve?”

Then clearly define the problem.

This helps to keep the meeting focused on the task at hand and means everyone is on the same page.

Do you find yourself in conversations that do not seem to be going anywhere or moving people forward? Then, here are three intentionally disruptive questions that you can ask:

1. What would you suggest?

When someone comes to you complaining about a situation, stop and ask them: "What would you suggest?"

2. What would it take for you to agree?

When you are in a meeting with a conversation that is going on, stop and say: "Hey, there is a lot of conversation going on here, but what would it take for us to get agreement here?" When you ask this a number of times, it will move everyone's focus to finding a solution.

3. Can you live with it?

When you or the person you are talking to is caught up in a situation that is often very small, stop wasting your time and theirs and simply ask: "Can you live with it?" If the answer is no, then go back to question one: "What would you suggest?"

When you stop and ask these three questions:
1. What would you suggest?
2. What would it take for you to agree?
3. Can you live with it?
It always leads to breakthroughs.

Why not give these a go in your conversations and let me know how you went?

You can also take this to another level and use these questions in your time with God!

You know it is ok to ask God questions! He is not scared by them! Jesus used questions very effectively when he was on Earth.

So in your time with God when praying about a situation, instead of telling God about all that is going on, ask about him about it.
God you know the situation that is happening, what do you suggest that I do in this situation? God, what is your solution for this?

God how do I come in agreement with you about what you want to happen? This is what I want to happen, but your thoughts are not my thoughts, your ways are not my ways, you see this from a different point of view, show me what I need to do to come into alignment with you on this.

And finally, God is this something that you actually want to happen and can live with? If not, what is your solution? What is your answer to this? How can I join you in seeing that accomplished?

Can you see how that changes your prayer time? It turns it from God this is what you need to do type praying to God, here I am to work with you on what you seek to accomplish in this situation.

His plans are so way much better than ours!

Here is an excellent prayer for today:

"God, please help me make faithful decisions so that your Kingdom may come and your will be done on earth, in and through me, as it is done in heaven."

Amen

From my reading this morning: there is a need for more of us to have the Ministry of Eli.

I'm very big on 1 Samuel 3:10 - praying, "Speak Lord, for your servant is listening."

Samuel learned this prayer from Eli. Samuel heard his name being called out three times, but he did not know that it was God who was speaking to him. 1 Samuel 3:7 says "Samuel did not yet know the Lord, the Lord's message had not yet been revealed to him."

How many people do we know that as yet do not know the Lord and that the Lord's message has not yet been revealed to them?
Yet God is speaking to them, calling out their name, but they have not recognised that it is God calling them.

Eli had a revelation that it was indeed the Lord that was calling Samuel and so instructed Samuel that if you hear your name been called again, say: "Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening."
,
And that is exactly what Samuel did, and then the revelation started to flow.

In our conversations with people today, I think we need to become aware of God speaking to others when they don't know that it is actually God and help them to discern the voice of God for themselves.

Samuel went on to be an incredible leader who was very sharp in the way he heard the word of God.

How many people is God wanting to raise up to be Samuel's in this season? A simple conversation with someone helping them to know it is the voice of God speaking to them could just set them on that path today.
