God Speaks Through Business Ideas: Stop Burying Your Kingdom Assignment
Date: October 21, 2025 Source: GOSHEN YouTube Channel Context: Teaching on kingdom entrepreneurship and the divine responsibility to multiply God-given talents
Executive Summary
This powerful teaching confronts the paralysis that grips many believers who possess business ideas but fail to act on them due to fear, false spirituality, and the endless wait for prophetic confirmation. Drawing from Jesus' parable of the talents in Matthew 25, the speaker dismantles the religious mindset that keeps Christians from launching their ventures, revealing that inaction is not humility but rebellion. The message emphasizes three revolutionary principles: your creative ideas are divine assignments not optional pursuits, multiplication through systems is a kingdom mandate, and waiting for additional confirmation when God has already equipped you is actually burying your talent. The teaching culminates in a urgent call to action, asserting that souls and destinies are literally waiting on believers to activate their God-given solutions.
The Epidemic of Buried Talent
Self-Limiting Confessions
The teaching opens by exposing common excuses that paralyze potential kingdom entrepreneurs:
"How many of you have ever said these kinds of self-limiting things like, 'I'm just not sure this business idea is from God.' What if I launch something and I fail? Said that, been there. What if you've said, 'I'll just wait. Let's just wait for a prophetic word. Let's wait on the Lord. Let's wait for another prophetic word to confirm it.'"
The Real Enemy: Fear
The core issue is identified not as lack of ability but paralysis through fear:
"Most Christians aren't paralyzed because of a lack of talent. They're paralyzed because of fear. This is the sneaky pocket of wrestling inside each of us. Fear. Fear is a destroyer of destiny. Fear of failure. Fear of getting it wrong. fear that your idea isn't spiritual enough."
The Kingdom Reality Check
A fundamental principle of kingdom advancement is established:
"Nothing in the kingdom works unless somebody takes responsibility to make it work."
The Parable Reframed: Three Entrepreneurs
The Master's Distribution
The speaker presents Matthew 25 as a story of divine entrepreneurship:
"This parable of the talents. It is actually the story of three entrepreneurs. And as you know, a master gave each one a measure of talent. He gave them talents. That's practical physical resources filled with potential, filled with opportunity."
The Shocking Verdict
Jesus' judgment on inaction is presented as more severe than typically understood:
"Jesus called the servant who buried his talent wicked and lazy. Not because he was just outright disobeying the law of God. And it wasn't because he didn't pray. It's because he did nothing with what he was given."
The Cost of Laziness
Ecclesiastes 10 is invoked to illustrate the destructive nature of inaction:
"Laziness through laziness the building decays and through idleness of hands the house leaks."
The Violence of Kingdom Advancement
Holy Audacity Required
The teaching calls for a radical shift in approach:
"Jesus did things out of such shocking audacity. That is the life of the spirit. It is the life of multiplication."
The Force of Diligence
Success requires aggressive action against internal resistance:
"You'll have to use the force of diligence. Its naked name is hard work. You'll have to kill fear. There's a holy violence needed for this. This is not for the soft."
Your Ideas Are Not Optional
A paradigm shift in how believers view their creative ideas:
"Your business idea. You must know it is not meant to die in your notebook. We can't allow that."
The Divine Nature of Creativity
God-Given Assignment
Creativity is reframed as divine endowment:
"God is the God who didn't just give you breath. He gave you creativity. And your creativity is your talent. This is your offer to the marketplace. This is your ideas. This is your ability to solve problems in the marketplace and it is not an optional thing for you to multiply it. This is your assignment."
Kingdom Entrepreneurship vs. Carnal Methods
The distinction between Spirit-led and flesh-driven business:
"Flowing in spirit-led creativity is the manner of the kingdom entrepreneur. The way of the carnal man is filling his time."
Multiplication While You Sleep
The principle of leveraged systems:
"Your creativity, your offer can multiply even while you sleep. This is wealth production."
The GOSHEN Case Study
Real-World Application
The speaker shares personal experience in building kingdom enterprises:
"When I stepped into Goshen's leadership, it wasn't just about my time or my platform. It was about multiplying what we already had and creating new streams that could serve more people without adding more hours."
Measurable Kingdom Impact
Concrete results demonstrate the principles in action:
"That's how Goshen reached thousands of students and helped believers create millions in online revenue. Not because we're the smartest or perfect, but because we understood kingdom multiplication."
Breaking the Prophetic Procrastination Cycle
The Hard Truth About Waiting
A confrontational word about misguided spiritual waiting:
"Let me say something hard. Some of you are burying your talent. This is the Bible teaching. You're burying it while waiting for this prophetic word. Waiting for a pastor, a prophet, or some big moment of validation to greenlight your business idea."
Biblical Greenlight Already Given
The permission has already been granted:
"But the Bible already green lit you. For to everyone who has more will be given, and he'll have an abundance. But from him who does not have, even what he does not have will be taken away from him."
Divine Design in Human Frailty
God's strategy in choosing the weak:
"You need to understand you're the God chooses the foolish things to confound the wise. You are his candidate. The even the frailties that you have been given by your human design are of divine design so that you can rely upon the spirit's power."
Three Keys to Multiplication
1. Start With What You Have
The importance of beginning with current resources:
"Stop disqualifying your small beginnings. God multiplies seeds, not just the ideas that are flying in your head."
2. Package Your Experience Into Creativity
Transforming personal journey into marketplace value:
"It's your knowledge. It's your story. Somewhere you went through a dark season and you got out. Others are still in it. Somewhere you went through trauma and you healed. Others are still in trauma. Somewhere you went from conscious ignorance of an area and you developed a degree of mastery. Others are still ignorant. Give them the mastery that they need."
The critical shift to scalable offerings:
"Put it now into an offer that people can access without you being present 24/7."
3. Leverage Systems
Understanding divine order through systems:
"The kingdom of God is a system. It operates on systems and frameworks. You've got to adopt your system. You've got to have a system to be able to create this. You can use AI. You can use digital products. You can use simple platforms. But these will extend your reach far beyond your time capacity."
The Stewardship Mandate
Not Hype But Responsibility
Reframing business success as spiritual obedience:
"This is not hype. This is a matter of stewardship."
Permission Already Granted
The divine authorization is inherent in the gift:
"If he put creativity in you, you already have permission to multiply it. Now move with the Jesus kind of audacity."
The Peter Principle: Walking on Water
The Boat as Comfort Zone
A powerful metaphor for breakthrough:
"You'll never walk on water if you don't get out of the boat."
Supernatural Supply Requires Natural Action
The relationship between faith and works:
"You can't see a supernatural supply if you won't steward the seed. If in order for you to see seed grow and multiply, you got to employ the seed."
Ideas Are Not Optional
The non-negotiable nature of divine assignments:
"You will never step into overflow if you keep treating your ideas like they're optional. They are not."
The Market's Need for Your Solution
Divine Supply and Demand
Your uniqueness serves a kingdom purpose:
"We, the market, we need you to be you so that we can have the solutions to our problems."
Heaven's Clarity vs. Human Confusion
The disconnect between divine intention and human hesitation:
"Heaven is definitely not confused about your assignment. Maybe you are, but today's your day of breakthrough."
The Spiritual Cost of Delay
Fear as Thief
Three forms of resistance identified:
"Fear is a thief. Laziness is like a slow death. And hesitation is just rebellion dressed in righteous robes."
Souls Connected to Assignment
The eternal weight of responsibility:
"There are truly souls connected to your assignment. And there are destinies waiting on your diligence."
Creation's Expectation
The cosmic significance referenced in Romans 8:
"The creation. Romans 8 says, 'Wait in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.' Truly, we are waiting on you."
Mountains Waiting for Your Voice
Prophetic Authority in Business
The spiritual dimension of marketplace ministry:
"Literally, spiritually speaking, mountains waiting for your voice to speak."
The Urgent Call to Action
The prophetic commission:
"Please arise. Arise and shine. Get clear. Multiply what he gave you."
The Ultimate Reframe: Obedience Not Business
Beyond Commercial Success
The true nature of kingdom enterprise:
"It's not about business. This is actually about obedience."
Deliverance Through Diligence
The connection between action and freedom:
"You've got to get out of that delay. It's costing people their deliverance. The kingdom suffers when you're hiding your oil."
Key Theological Insights
The Kingdom Advances Through Action
The teaching establishes that kingdom advancement requires human participation:
"The kingdom of God, it advances not just through ideas that are sitting in your journal. It advances when bold believers take what God gave them and we multiply it."
Multiplication as Indispensable Principle
The non-negotiable nature of increase:
"It is a indispensable critical principle. Multiplication."
Building More Than Business
The eternal perspective on earthly enterprise:
"If you'll do that, you won't just build a business, you're going to build Goshen."
Practical Activation Steps
The teaching implies several concrete actions believers should take:
- Stop waiting for additional confirmation - The Bible has already authorized you
- Package your story and expertise - Transform your journey into accessible solutions
- Implement systems and leverage technology - Extend reach beyond time limitations
- Start with current resources - God multiplies seeds, not ideas
- Act with holy audacity - Move with the same boldness Jesus demonstrated
Conclusion
This teaching represents a prophetic confrontation with the religious spirit that keeps believers from their marketplace calling. By reframing business ideas as divine assignments rather than optional pursuits, the speaker challenges the false dichotomy between spiritual and commercial activities. The message is particularly powerful in its assertion that waiting for prophetic confirmation when God has already given creative abilities is actually disobedience disguised as spirituality.
The urgency of the message cannot be overstated - souls are literally connected to believers' obedience in launching their God-given solutions. The teaching demolishes the excuse culture that pervades much of the church regarding entrepreneurship, replacing it with a mandate for action based on the parable of the talents.
Most significantly, this message transforms business from a secular pursuit into a spiritual battlefield where fear must be violently opposed, laziness confronted as sin, and creative multiplication understood as kingdom advancement. The call is not merely to build businesses but to build "Goshen" - places of divine provision and light in a darkening world.
The bottom line is stark: believers are either multiplying or burying their talents. There is no neutral ground. And heaven, along with all creation, is waiting for the sons and daughters of God to be revealed through their obedient action in the marketplace.
