Nehemiah E-Community Podcast

Taking dominance is all about fully understanding your niche and while at it doing it as per the will of God. Mrs. Ana Maria Lowry who is the President and CEO of ANP International says that for her the most important thing for her is to see her clients reach their full potential by maximizing everything they have. She adds that for her, her job is not always all about the money instead it is something she loves doing, and growing up in a household where her parents always helped people who were in need has played a major role in this.  

Mrs. Ana Maria adds that for her to fully help a client she has to know them well. This helps her know the exact help to offer since they will have interacted on a personal level. For her challenges are what pushes her to do better because the truth is they will always be there. The question is how do you handle them. All you need to know is that when you do your best and put your faith in God then you will always have the courage to rise above anything that happens in your business.

Taking Dominance is important especially when it comes to running a business or even building it. It involves knowing your craft and knowing what to do at what point. Mr. John Thiongo, a fierce entrepreneur, shares that one requires the spirit of a lion when it comes to building. He adds that for him he understood this and that is why somewhere along the way, he brought in people to help him because he was having a tough start.  Running a business requires a combined effort and Mr. Thiongo says that for him the effort he knew would come through was that from his wife. This is because they had a common ground and the business was an extension of their ministry. Times have been tough and it is even tougher for them in the hospitality industry but then through it, all this pandemic hasn't put him down instead he got motivated from everything that is happening. It has been a season of learning and relearning and deep down he believes that everything that is happening to their business will impact it positively.

Innovation facilitates business growth and it challenges you to do more but at the same time seeking guidance from God. AI Caperna who is the Chief Servant Officer of CMC Group,  shares that during the early days of their marriage, they focused on what God was doing in the life of each of them. This helped them a great deal since they realized that it is not always about yourself, you need to focus on the other person, this helps a great deal. When doing business with your partner, always work as a unit because God always works things out of agreement therefore, you have to be in constant agreement with your partner. A couple of businesses need a lot of work and combined efforts to better the more united you are. When you decide to innovate, have in mind that there are risks involved and sometimes your idea may not work and that is okay. Seek guidance from the holy spirit since all creativity comes from God and knows what will be needed in the future. You may not believe it but then simple things can be part of the solution when you are innovating. One thing you have to make sure though is that the people you bring on board to help you with your idea fully understand and you are on the same page. This is important because if the idea doesn't bring unity then it's not meant for your organization.

One of the aims of Nehemiah E-community is to build communities around the region and help bring the desired change. For change to be made it is important to link arms with people and create a common goal then work towards it. This will help bring back sanity to the marketing space. 

Haiti center spearheaded by Pastor Edner Jeanty is another evidence that this community wants the best for the people and all it wants is to see progress and have many people come together to do business God's way. Pastor Jeanty says that as much as Haiti is known to get a lot of aid, people in the grassroots are suffering. He adds that it is important to get to a point where people have sustainable jobs and are able to create wealth. The people in Haiti are already aware of the challenges they go through and as people look at sending aid to them, involve them in the process so that they are able to highlight the key areas. 

Most people send in aid not knowing that through that the local market is slowly being killed since entrepreneurs won't get anything because people are being handed down stuff. As a community that aims at building and nurturing kingdom entrepreneurs, how about we give them aid but provide solutions at the same time to issues that affect them.  Whenever you want to provide aid, aim at asking the rarely asked questions to be able to know the kind of aid that you are bringing in is impactful.

Discovering your purpose is key as you walk through this life and even as you look at starting your entrepreneurial journey because they are tied. Mr. Joseph Hunt from Real Life Academy shares his journey towards discovering his purpose and how he ended being a Kingdom entrepreneur. He adds that for him, this didn't come easy since he had had a business with his brother before and they had splitter. Mr. Hunt believes that for everyone, God has a vision for them and in most cases, it is bigger all you have to do is seek his guidance and mentorship.  The Real-Life Academy is all about helping individuals fulfill their destiny in soul body and spirit. In the process, it aims to help people rise up to their full potential and live a truly fulfilling life. At times you may have self-doubt and if at all you will get clients since the path you have taken is different. Best believe the right clients will find you because once your purpose and yours align then that's it. Let them know from the beginning the why and goal of your business then you will be good to go.

Biblical entrepreneurship essentials are important especially when it comes to doing business God's way. The times we are living in hasn't made it easier but the truth is God has a plan for everyone who has submitted everything to him. Mark Brown who is the founder of New Life SDA church says that doing business doesn't mean that you have to do it the world's way. There is an opportunity to do business as per what the Kingdom of God wants. This is why in their church they have life groups in which they come together with entrepreneurs to pray, learn and encourage each other to do better. Mr. Brown says that Christianity is not a one-time thing, instead, it is something we have to practice consistently and incorporate into our daily lives. Because of this, he saw the need to start digital evangelism to basically reach people from all over the world and pray with them because the truth is we all need it. He adds that despite churches opening soon, the digital ministry will live on and continue to serve its purpose. Covid might have thrown people off balance but Mr. Brown says he believes that there is God's message in the whole thing and all we have to do is to listen and let God be God in our lives.

Sometimes all you have to do is manage what God has given you and add value to it so that it benefits some or just you. Bishop Ed Smith founder of Zoe Association International shares that his goal was to create an impact in cities, countries around the world and he knew that there was no way he was going to do it on his own. For this to be to happen he collaborated with other churches around the world. In partnership with Nehemiah Project, they are working on this, and just to make it known that there is a lot of potential in African countries and a lot can come from them when they are given all the support they need. Even with the upcoming conference in July, BishopEd Smith states that it is for anyone looking to grow and in the process establish a cash flow in the process incorporate God's principles.

The works of the flesh have a huge impact on all that we do because these practices will determine if we inherit the Kingdom of God. Unlike religion where perfection is highly considered, the kingdom of God is all about God himself being perfect. 

He is a forgiving God so when you repent your sins you start afresh. When you repent all the works of the flesh, trust that the Lord will allow you to see all the success that you deserve in your life and business.

Women entrepreneurs in South Africa are the backbone of any business. Entrepreneurship is about taking risks and women entrepreneurs have more courage and commitment than others to start a business. When women stand together as a group, they are bound for success. Ms. Linda Chikerema the founder of Ignite Africa says that she believes in building women and her main aim is to build a movement of women in Africa especially in regions that they are in. For Linda, she felt that there is a gap that needed to be filled despite everyone moving to digital platforms. She wanted to create something that could be read anywhere by anyone thus creating the magazine. Having stayed out of Zimbabwe for a long time, she believes it is important to go back to your home countries and implement all that knowledge gained from abroad and she urges people to try it. Doing business as per biblical principles may be hard but she believes that it can happen despite it being new in the region. The aim is to amplify the voice of God, while at it change lives and help people earn a living.
