Ecclesiastes says 2:24: "A man can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in his work." All legal work has dignity and integrity.
I understand exactly what he is saying most people do not fulfill thier calls or potential because of their day to day job that they do just to make ends meet and are afraid to take a risk on going for their dreams because of fear of failure most people live in regret!
This message is empowering. Some people won't catch it because they have been conditioned to have limited thinking. Thank God for an open mind! I am a business owner and I am combining my passion with my gift to create a career that gives God the glory. He is basically saying that when you do this, you know who your provider is...God and no one, not your supervisor, employer will get the glory when you succeed!
This message was for me!!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️💕💕💕✝️Next week I'm taking 9 days off for vacation....my supervisor asked me? Why, I won't wait until the middle of the year...I told him it's for my mental stability/plus I'm working on things to bring multiple streams of income.... I'm PUSHING MYSELF IN 2022!
When I was new to Christ, I heard a message by two very prominent pastors that Christians should not be accepting welfare, foodstamps, section 8 or any assistant from the government. Christians should only receive their help from God. I was a young single mother of two boys at the time, with no job skills, and was on every government assistant I could get my hands on I needed help and was not ashamed to ask for it. I didn't know how to do anything. After hearing this message
I stopped accepting anything from the government and within a month I lost my section 8 home, my childrens was sent away to live with my mother and I was living out of my car, seedy hotels and shelters for the next three years and a half. I continued to listen to these prominent pastors, and when I started to get back on my feet. They came with a new message that " Christians don't need to go to college" and that " God did not call the Christians to make a living for themselves". Thats coveting
I love this video. America was founded on entrepreneurial spirit for working at what you love to do.... it wasn't founded on "find a job, make the owner of the company rich and you get a small check for your time away from what you really like doing and what you would be really good at" idk what some ppl are talking about below, but the message here is to do work that creates value for other and best uses your talents. Don't just get a job for the sake of the money. Live free, live in abundance.
From the old testament to the new, men were working when God stepped inot their lives and stated their ministry. Even Jesus worked as a carpenter until it was time for His ministry to begin.
Amen! God put many talents & abilities in us so that we can be used for His purpose & to enjoy what we do on this earth. God gave me this revelation & I now have my own business (all praise & glory be to Jesus Christ). I one day will fire my job & work full time (in the ministry & my own business). God bless :)
RIGHT ON!!! Find something that you can put your heart and soul into and create and income around it. Working a JOB is nothing more than being a paid slave unless you really love what you do. NO control!
2 Thes. 3:11-15. 11 For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies. 12 Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread. 13 But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing. 14 And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed. 15 Yet count [him] not as an enemy, but admonish [him] as a brother. Thi
I was more mature in Christ by then and decided that their message did not line up with the Word of God, so I changed churches. Little Children please be careful how you hear. There are preachers who never experienced true poverty. The shame, ridicule, embarassment, and depression. Please search the scriptures for yourself. Don't let anyone turn you into a slave. You can be an employee on a job, college student, business owner, or have a career and still serve Jesus Christ with all your might
I am functioning in the purpose for which I was designed. My skill set, talent, the gift is flying high, far, on-target/on a mission of Gods will for his Kingdom Agenda I believe I will go on the whole term journey to carry out my purpose in my life tine for my generation and generations to come. Rev 21:7 I am an overcomer of all spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical battles, tests, and trials for God's glory, others' benefit, and my good. A lifestyle of Abundance not adequately, sufficiency, or mediocrity You were created on purpose to live a life of purpose. My job needs me because I am so good at my purpose that my job cannignoreore me or afford to lose me. Wealth mindset. Abundance mentality. Attitude of abundance I have more than enough time, talent, and resources because my father owns everything. Divine nepotism is working out in favor of god's children.
Some things are just basic common sense. Cars work, planes work, computers work, chairs. However if no one has a job none of these things will work!!!!! Good God almighty!!!!! I'm so glad that I can dissimulate the word for myself. you can't count on guys like this!!!!!
God's hand is in EVERYTHING, even welfare. He started the system when he told Israel not to adjoin their land so the poor may eat. Of course the poor had to get up and collect it. It was meant for us to help each other; we refer to it as justice. I believe we should go to work (the job) and focus on working and leave the rest to God, who is our help.
@Zionbeliever I hear your argument, and fully appreciate your point of view. Consider this. If we have two disciples of God, Mother Theresa and Pastor Bryant. Two very different people with different upbringings. One chose a very humble life, the other an extravagant one. Both with the same mission on saving people's quality of living, whether it be spiritual or physical. Which does God favor?
I left my job one year ago in August, and go has yet to bless my business to the point where I can function independently; don't leave your job. I had to find part time employment and I am very talented and gifted, but God has not produced for me. I just don't see this preaching as being real in my life. I left my job only to get another; don't do it, don't leave,
@Zionbeliever You're right. Christ in you will work you out towards perfection so that you will not sin, so it's not by your power. Seek more of Him and He will take you to your destiny brother. God's will for you is prosperity so that you can be a blessing to others too, not to end poor and frighten unbelievers from giving their lives to Christ with your poverty. Go for Christ and don't listen to what people are saying about this poverty issue. You're supposed to prosper as a child of God.
@Zionbeliever Mother Theresa was living out her purpose and that was helping people!! She did not see the need to put herself in a position of material riches (this did not make her better or worse) Pastor Bryant is teaching out of his purpose and that is to be self sufficient. In our days you are judged by what you have or don't!
@czickgraf In other words , you are doing your purpose you are still laboring with your hands. In your own business you are in authority of your own time and hours and schedule your own freedom you are still responsible to do so. Working with someone is pretty much you are on their time clock and not yours. Not knocking anyone if they are, But I got his concept and truly understand where he is coming from.
After watching this, i have left 3 jobs this yr at this moment i am unemployed have been for 3 weeks now. Did i do the right thing by leaving the jobs? i am only 20yrs old, not in school, left previous jobs because work was something that i could not put my talents into or that the people were mistreating me. Trying to save some money to go to a community college. I pray daily so that god can help me find a job, so far nothing has come.
@Zionbeliever If you are truly a Zion believer you would fully understand that sometimes there are situations beyond your own control. For example when Moses' people we're enslaved and lived in perilous conditions, when blacks were slaves in America and lived in perilous conditions. Consider that the way we've been taught is not the way we're supposed to live!! Just consider it you don't have to believe it. They didn't believe their situations could change.... Consider it.
@blewis9505 Let me enlighten you. When you work hard on your job, you make a living; but when you work hard on yourself, you make a fortune. So, learn how to work hard on yourself.
@yonccp First of all, you may have misunderstood the workings of a business. One year is not long enough to give any business for "success". God will not "produce for" you; so whomever gave you that advice misspoke. YOU must produce for yourself! I never understood ppl who just thought that God will do the work for you;blessings come in many different ways, maybe not HOW you want them, but they come! Good luck to you, but don't just give up, because you didn't give it a chance!
@koorgen He never told anyone not to work! You must not have watched the whole video. He talked about having a "job" verses going to work. There are many Era's in history that ppl did not have a "job", but that's what he was talking about. You have to work, but it is what you choose to do and how you choose to let it dictate ur life that matters.
@kingsteamceo Lol! I think he has a job!! The pastor is not saying not t have one!! He clearly says we don't need a permanent one!! Get one with the intention of creating something that will sustain your life!! The problem is that people get so dependent on a job, then when they get laid off or fired it's like the world just ended. All their hopes, dreams tied to a job that they never owned in the first place!!
@blewis9505 and er by the way...I am not poor, nor am I broke (thank God for His grace)...becauseful of what you say because those same things you say about someone that you do not even know will come back upon you...do not let the wind blow on everything you have... for I declare to you it won't be nice at all.. Could this, calling someone poor and broke, be a case of as Shakespear said "Me thinks thou dost protest too much" ...finally, I am not religious, just simply forgiven...
The working class is God's people under Babylonia and Assyria ... This guy has some sick bling though.. he's the 1% ... I like where he's going with the message. Im suspect of what he's doing with it though, real prophets were broke, undervalued and hated.
i think the title was more for attention purposes, but slightly irresponsible by the people that posted this to not post the whole thing. I do understand what he is saying..do something with purpose and that you love doing. That does not equate entrepreneurship for everyone. If you love being a school administrator (i.e. your job) then you are fulfilling your purpose. Plus Pastor Bryant likes to shock & awe, i'm just saying
@motherevee This is the secret. Read the bible and act by it. I assure you, God will lead you to your purpose on earth. God's will for you is that you should be a blessing to others.
@blewis9505 I can see your not listening to the message. A job is not going to support you or your family either. The next time you receive your check look at it, then look up the financials of your employer --- your receiving less then 2% but the majority of your day is spent there doing the owner's deeds. The message was for YOU to work not have a job! I've been very blessed from emptying my checkbook and in returned I've been rewarding more. Contact the preacher for clarity..
@Zionbeliever You miss the point brother. It doesn't matter how many poor people you help or how many hail marys you say. If you don't give your life to Christ, you are bound for hell. So, helping the poor will never take you to heaven. And helping the poor does not mean you should be poor too. True riches in Christ are obtained through giving to others (Investing in the kingdom of God). Maybe you ask any rich pastor how he became rich and he will tell you the secret. And that is giving.
Obviously he missed this part in the bible. The key word in this scripture is WORK: Proverbs 28:19 19 Whoever works his land will have plenty of bread, but he who follows worthless pursuits will have plenty of poverty.
@Ferrari360Spyder What is it that you want to do?? I noticed that you spoke of going to a community college. The problem with that is that college only teaches you how to keep a job. It's not what you're looking for... Read "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" and "The Conspiracy Of The Rich" by Robert Kiyosaki... Also, pick up a copy of "The 4-Hour Work Week" by Timothy Ferris... This will be the starting place for your TRUE education... Talk soon!
@blewis9505 Now on THAT topic I will not give an answer. Why not go to Baltimore and ask him directly? He is approachable. People love to point the finger at those who are in the public eye in ministry etc. BUT what would happen if the skeletons came out of all of our closets????? There but for the grace of God go us all... or try this one: He that is without sin let him cast the first stone... SMH.
@Zionbeliever I think you have to study the bible very well. 2 Corinthians 8:9 says Christ became poor so that we through his poverty might become rich. The words "HUMBLE and MEEK" are not synonymous with "POOR". You can still be very rich and humble. Why do you think God blessed King Solomon, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and others so much? Does the New Testament say God cannot more bless His children that much? Being spiritual does not mean you should be poor okay!!
Exodus 34:21 Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest. Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. This man is a Lair, A freemason, A wolf in sheeps clothing. Do not let this man teach you his own doctrine. He is a liar
@blewis9505 I really feel sorry for you. Sin is sin no doubt (But remember God can forgive us...even you o sinless one lol, but one Question: Are you God that YOU may judge? didn't think so. and by your language anyone can see that you might need the love and grace of God in your life also, as we all do. By the way only people who must resort to using foul language to get their point across or to give it any validity really have no worth to speak of and are insignificant. May God bless you.
@LIPSHEN81 whatever your problem is with the church get away from it.I am a musician in chicago and I can't stand the garbage that some if not ALL preachers do. That's no reason to put these type of comments. God uses people even through the mess..whatever it is...but don't adulterate a message by takin it out via internet. whats the purpoe?
@3283ninjaman I can see you're thinking that God is a poor God. Why do you think God blessed Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Job, King Solomon and others so much that He can't bless you the same? Do you know that even Bill Gates does not have the wealth King Solomon had? The Bible says " Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added unto you". Which "all these things" do you think the Bible is talking about? Has the Bible said with private Jets exclusive?
Wow! i am reading some of these IGNORANT comments that have nothing to do with the topic at all!! Really. Its okay to agree to disagree but it has nothing more than just straight slandering someone's past that has nothing to do with related to the topic. God have mercy!
Just my opinion: Preachers should not wear polka dot shirts at the moment of giving a sermon. Nevertheless, the message he is preaching is powerful. However, take that polka dot shirt off and put on a more conservative, less clownish shirt.
