THE WHEAT TRANSITION | SESSION TWO: THE CROSSING You Cannot Take the Old System Into the New SeasonTransition is not the old thing running better. It is becoming something the other side can use!In this episode of Business Unusual, Charles & Susan explore the crossing from Barley to Wheat—a prophetic picture of moving from one season, system, and economy into another.From the fifty-day journey between Firstfruits and Pentecost to Israel crossing the Jordan, we discover why the manna sometimes stops, why new wine requires new wineskins, and why what sustained you in the wilderness may not be sufficient for Canaan.Same God. Different season. Different system.Not everything from your previous season must be discarded, but not everything can cross with you.The question is no longer, “How do I make the old system work better?”It is, “Does this still belong where God is taking me?”📖 Isaiah 43:18–19 | Leviticus 23:9–21 | Joshua 1:2 | Joshua 5:12 | Mark 2:22#TheWheatTransition #TheCrossing #BusinessUnusual #TheCyrusCommunity #KingdomMindset #KingdomBusiness #PropheticSeasons #NewWineskins #BarleyToWheat
THE WHEAT TRANSITION – PART 1When a Prophetic Word Becomes an AssignmentA prophetic word is not merely a promise to celebrate—it is divine intelligence that requires repositioning!In this episode of Business Unusual, Charles & Susan unpack the four prophetic declarations released over TCC: the eagles have healed, we are at a tipping point, the wheat harvest has begun, and the eleventh-hour workers are coming.Drawing from 1 Chronicles 12:32, Noah and Joseph, we explore why true prophetic discernment must move us from expectation to action, from revelation to architecture, and from personal promises to corporate purpose.A forecast tells you it will rain. A prophetic word tells you to build!The question is no longer simply, “What did God say?” but “What must now change because God said it?”A WORD CHANGES THE SEASON. A DECISION CHANGES THE SYSTEM.#TheWheatTransition #BusinessUnusual #TheCyrusCommunity #PropheticPositioning #KingdomBusiness #KingdomWealth #CharlesAndSusanOpiyo #GoodQualityOfLife
THE FREQUENCY OF THE KINGDOM: Tuning into Heaven’s BlueprintHeaven is not silent — the question is whether we are tuned in.In this teaching, we explore how spiritual sensitivity, renewed thinking, faith, stillness, meditation, worship, prophetic imagination and gratitude position us to receive Heaven’s strategies and divine instruction.Revelation 4:1 declares, “Come up here…” — an invitation into a higher dimension of spiritual perception where what was unclear becomes visible.We unpack how fear, emotional noise, busyness and carnal thinking can create interference, while agreement with God’s Word brings clarity, alignment and flow.Transformation is not just more information — it is a new frequency.📖 Revelation 4:1 | Isaiah 55:8–11 | Romans 12:2 | 1 Corinthians 2:14 | Hebrews 11:1#BusinessUnusual #TheCyrusCommunity #KingdomFrequency #KingdomOfGod #Faith #RenewYourMind #SpiritualAlignment #DivineStrategy #HeavenlyPlaces #KingdomMindset
There are seasons when it feels like we’ve lost the plot—when God seems silent, distant, or even indifferent.But when Scripture says, “And God remembered…”, it does not mean He forgot. The Hebrew word zakar speaks of divine action—God stepping into history to fulfill covenant, activate promise, release mercy, and advance His prophetic agenda.From Noah in the ark, to Israel in Egypt, to Rachel’s womb—when God “remembered,” something shifted.In this teaching, we unpack what divine remembrance really means, why it is always connected to covenant, and why what God began in you cannot fail.This is not randomness. This is not delay. This is Divine Intervention.And perhaps, this is your season of PEACE & PROSPERITY.#AndGodRemembered #DivineIntervention #GodsPromises #Covenant #Faith #KingdomOfGod #PropheticWord #PeaceAndProsperity #BusinessUnusual #TheCyrusCommunity #TCC
POVERTY: CONDITION, MINDSET OR CHOICE?Jesus said, “The poor you will always have with you.” But does that mean poverty is inevitable?In this episode of Business Unusual, we distinguish between poverty as a condition and the mindset that can create, sustain, and sometimes even choose it.We explore how unresolved pressures shape poor decisions, how poverty can become internalized, and how the Word of God dismantles the thinking patterns that keep people trapped.Poverty may begin as a condition — but it does not have to become an identity.
THE SONS OF THIS WORLD ARE WISER…In this episode of Business Unusual, Charles & Susan unpack one of Jesus’ most provocative parables in Luke 16:1–13 — the story of the unjust steward.Why would Jesus commend a man described as unjust? Because while Jesus was not endorsing dishonesty, He was highlighting something Kingdom people often lack: strategic foresight.The steward recognized that his present system was about to fail, and while he still had opportunity, he used what was in his hand to prepare for the next season.Discover why Jesus said, “The sons of this world are more shrewd… than the sons of light,” and what this means for how we handle money, opportunity, relationships and influence today.Learn how to:• Recognize when a season or system is shifting• Use mammon as a tool without allowing it to become your master• Convert temporary resources into lasting Kingdom impact• Build for God’s unshakable order rather than depending on Babylon’s passing systemsThe question is not simply, “What do I have?” but, “How am I using what I have today to prepare for what is coming?”
In this episode of Business Unusual, Charles and Susan continue the call to “Awake the mighty men—prepare for war!”This is not a call to physical warfare, but to Kingdom function in the marketplace. The season of preparation must now produce manifestation. The ploughshare must become a sword, and the pruning hook must become a spear. What God has taught, formed and developed within us must now become practical solutions, enterprises and systems that advance His purposes on the earth.A Kingdom business does not begin with personal preference, profit or opportunity—it begins with God’s purpose. Before asking, “Why isn’t my business working?” we must first ask, “Should this business exist, and is it aligned with what God is doing now?”In this conversation, you will discover:🌍 The Season of Redefinition — Why God is shaking everything and how Kingdom enterprises must respond.🎯 Purpose Over Preference — Moving from pursuing “my purpose” to becoming an instrument of His purposes.👁️ Doubt the Default — How a fresh revelation of God challenges assumptions we have accepted as normal.🧭 The Kingdom Economic Model — Why the counsel governing your financial and business decisions determines the outcomes you produce.🧱 Thriving in Babylon — How to build, increase and prosper without allowing the environment to define or own you.🔄 All Things Working Together — How both favourable and adverse circumstances converge for good when you are aligned with God’s purpose.🧠 Internal Before External — Why Kingdom outcomes begin with an internal posture before they appear as external profit, influence and impact.The marketplace may employ you, but it must never own you. This is the hour for prepared people to arise, ascend into a higher dimension of function and turn revelation into tangible Kingdom reality.Quick workshop—pause and reflect:Why did I really start this business?Whose life is being transformed through it?Did the idea come from God’s insight, or am I merely copying what already exists?Is the business relevant to this season?Is it aligned with God’s present timeline and intentions?Scriptures referenced:Joel 3:9–10 • Haggai 2:6–9 • Isaiah 6:1–8 • Proverbs 19:21 • Jeremiah 29 • Romans 8:28 • Psalm 1:1–3 • 1 Chronicles 29:11#BusinessUnusual #AwakeTheMightyMen #PrepareForWar #KingdomBusiness #KingdomMarketplace #TheCyrusCommunity
Business Unusual is more than a metaphor—it is a call to prepared Kingdom people to arise and function.Following the restoration, outpouring, dreams, visions and prophecy of Joel 2 comes the urgent command of Joel 3:9–10:“Prepare for war! Wake up the mighty men… Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears; let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’”This is not a call to physical violence. It is a call to move from preparation into Kingdom manifestation—from revelation and discussion into practical function.The ploughshare represents the seasons in which we broke new ground and cultivated revelation. The pruning hook represents the removal of limiting beliefs and strongholds. But now, the ploughshare must become a sword: the Word we have received must be applied. The pruning hook must become a spear: we must break boundaries, pursue significant targets and accomplish what once appeared impossible.The mighty men must awaken, ascend and bring the treasures of the Kingdom out of Babylonian custody.Preparation has been necessary—but now it is time for Business Unusual.#BusinessUnusual #TheCyrusCommunity #PrepareForWar #KingdomMarketplace #KingdomManifestation #TCC
As we enter into the next phase of Kingdom Impact, it is of significant importance that we have a clear understanding of what the Kingdom is.Phrase like the “Kingdom of God” and the “Kingdom of Heaven” which mean literally the same thing like two sides of the same coin, are now so often used that the true meaning of these terms may actually be lost in their “normalization”Matthew 24:14 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.Niv Translation14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
HE HIDDEN ONES: GOD’S ARROWHEADSBeing hidden does not mean you have been forgotten—it may mean you are being sharpened, polished and prepared for divine timing.In this teaching, we explore how God forms His sons and daughters in seasons of obscurity before entrusting them with Kingdom influence. Anointing may open doors, but only maturity, character and obedience can keep them open.Like an arrow concealed in God’s quiver, you are not delayed—you are being developed. Your responsibility is not to demand visibility, but to remain ready for the moment God chooses to release you.“God hides those He intends to trust.”Key Scriptures: Isaiah 49:2; Luke 2:52; Galatians 1:15–18; 1 Samuel 16:13; John 3:30.#TheHiddenOnes #GodsArrowheads #KingdomInfluence #DivinePreparation #BusinessUnusual #TheCyrusCommunity
