“God speaks to you in a way that you personally would understand.”

-Excerpt from Episode 86, The Key to Building Faith-Based Business Ventures: Lessons from Niqueea Sykes​

Dear Kingdom Life Fam --

Do you have a spark of entrepreneurship inside of you? Have you dreamed of launching your own thing or building what God has already given you?

Nyqueea Sykes discovered her passion for entrepreneurship at the tender age of 13 through a dream, even though she didn't yet understand the concept or what being an entrepreneur entailed.

Despite not knowing the specifics of the business she wanted to run, Nyqueea was certain about her aspiration to own her own business. This early conviction paved the way for her entrepreneurial journey, which, in hindsight, she believes was guided by a divine influence despite not having a relationship with God during that formative period.

Today, Nyqueea boldly embodies her entrepreneurial spirit and thrives as a business owner, living the dream that ignited her passion in her youth!

In this week's podcast episode, Niqueea and I dive deep into faith-driven entrepreneurship, the power of divine timing, and the significance of spiritual discernment.

🎙️ Here are 3 key takeaways from our conversation:

• Trust in Divine Timing: Nyqueea emphasized the importance of avoiding overthinking scenarios and instead, having faith in divine timing. Often, trusting God's timing brings forth answers and opportunities when least expected.
• Integrate Faith in Business: Through her work with Dual Citizen Society, Nyqueea highlights how crucial it is for Christian entrepreneurs to weave biblical principles into their business ethics. Resources tailored for faith-driven businesses can catalyze both spiritual and professional growth.
• Power of Community: Nyqueea's journey underlines the importance of small, intimate groups. Smaller groups can offer stronger personal connections, fostering deeper spiritual growth and support systems, especially for nomadic individuals.

"I have a counselor that used to really encourage me to say, wow, not how, like, 'Wow, God, that's an amazing dream. That's an incredible vision!' And really refrain from asking, 'But how's that going to work?' The overwhelming 'how' often thwarts the dream."

• Start writing down your prayers and experiences to recognize God’s work in your life.
• Consider how faith integrates into your business practices.
• Follow implementing ideas and ambitions inspired by biblical principles.

PS - On a personal note, I voted. And I'm trusting God with the outcome. I realize you'll receive this on the other side of "election day" here in America. We likely don't know the final results of the presidential election. And we don't have control. Do you know what you do have control over?? YOUR PRAYER LIFE.

Prayer is government. As Karl Barth (renowned theologian) said, "In Christ, we are set at God's side and lifted up to Him and therefore to the place where decisions are made in the affairs of his government. And this is what happens in Christian prayer...We then find ourselves at the very seat of government, at the very heart of the mystery and purpose of all occurrence." // Excerpt from Lectio 365 app, Nov 5, 2024
