Brief Summary
This video emphasizes the importance of building and acting on one's God-given purpose, rather than waiting for the perfect moment or succumbing to comfort. It warns against the lie of "having time," advocating for intentional living and diligent work. The video stresses that faith requires action, and God blesses obedience and stewardship. It encourages viewers to overcome the fear of discomfort and pain, recognizing that these are essential for character development and fulfilling one's calling.
- Time is a precious resource that should be used intentionally to pursue one's calling.
- Building and working towards one's purpose is essential for receiving God's blessings.
- Discomfort and challenges are necessary for character development and fulfilling one's calling.
The Lie of Time and the Trap of Comfort
The biggest lie is believing you have unlimited time, which leads to wasting it while waiting for the perfect moment. Every day is either a step towards or away from your divine calling, and time is finite. It's crucial to live with intention, not just hustle, but with a "holy hustle" guided by the Lord. Many people are stuck because they postpone what God has instructed them to build or start. Rest should restore and fuel the mission, not replace it. Joseph's journey, filled with betrayal and hardship, illustrates that preparation is necessary for the promise.
If You Don't Build It, It Won't Be Blessed
God can't bless what you won't even attempt. It's not enough to pray and fast; planning and following through are essential. Faith without works is dead. If you believe in a vision, act on it. God blesses obedience, stewardship, and purposeful action, not laziness. Noah's ark took decades of labor amidst mockery, but his obedience saved his family. Don't wait for things to worsen; start building now.
Comfort Is a Trap and Your Destiny Is Too Big for It
If you're called to great wealth but not building, it's selfish because purpose requires provision. Wealth funds vision, builds schools, feeds families, and creates opportunities. While not everyone is called to generate wealth the same way, those who are should use their resources to build. The question is not whether to pursue wealth like others, but what God is telling you to build. Building wealth isn't just hard work; it's holy work that will challenge you. Purpose pulls you out of your comfort zone because callings die in comfort.
Building Can Hurt, But It Can Also Heal
Building your dream is not easy; it can be lonely and confusing, filled with rejection and failure. However, regret is worse. Pain sharpens, humbles, and trains you. God builds your character to hold the weight of influence. Like those in Nehemiah, you must build with one hand and fight with the other, engaging in spiritual warfare.
You're Watching Other People's Dream While Ignoring Your Own
Be mindful of how you spend your energy. Watching others' storylines puts your own life on pause. This is your movie; you are the main character. Write the scenes, fight through the plot twists, and show up for the climax. No one will rescue you from doing the work; you are the hero of your story.
Delay Is Disobedience
Delay can forfeit your destiny. Disobedience includes not doing the right thing when God instructs you. Obedience is better than sacrifice. Saul lost everything due to delay and partial obedience. Each day you wait, the window of opportunity closes further. Don't let procrastination rob you of the promise.
You Have What People Need
You possess strengths, talents, experiences, and insights that others need. Package, build, offer, and present these to the world. Mindset, productivity, and spiritual foundation are the main barriers, not ability. Redeem the time and do something meaningful with your life.
Final Words
Pour out everything God has given you. Use every dream, vision, and gift without holding back. Your breakthrough benefits everyone connected to you, creating pathways for others. Embrace the pain, grind, and chaos. Start your podcast, record your video, make your offer, write your post or book, and launch your product, even if it's messy. Stop waiting, overthinking, and doubting. If God called you to build it, He will equip you to sustain it. Take the first step because God can't bless what you won't build. You're not too late; you're right on time if you move now. Build and don't stop until heaven says, "Well done."
