GOD Is Not Your CEO | Ep. 026

Do you ever wonder what role God should play in your career or business? On today’s episode of The Christ-Driven Woman, Charisse explains why God is not your “CEO,” and why seeing Him as such may actually be deterring your success. It can be difficult for Christian women to believe that God created them for success and prosperity, maybe because they aren’t sure what that looks like, or they’ve experienced a recent failure or redirection that’s made them doubtful. And yet the Bible is clear that the Lord created us for good, and that He hopes to see us prosper (see Jeremiah 29:11, Ephesians 2:10, and Hebrews 13:20-21). While we should always seek direction from God, Charisse believes that we shouldn’t consider Him our CEO. In the life of a Christian, the term “CEO” should stand for “Christ’s Elevated Officer,” and it is a title that we should be claiming. Why is it important that Christ followers see themselves as “CEOs?” 

 

• You are Christ’s chosen, appointed servant who has the power to lead by the authority that He has given you
• God has given you the ability and the authority to serve others, and when we don’t step into that authority, we will only hold ourselves back 
• Your business will never outgrow your belief, so you must believe that God has granted you the leadership and wisdom to achieve success
• Claiming the title of CEO makes the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit our “Board of Directors,” whom we meet with and consult as we step into our calling 

 

You may be feeling anxious or fearful of stepping into a new place of leadership, maybe because it’s hard to believe that God has called and equipped you for big things. Charisse encourages listeners to find Scripture that will anchor you to the truth and remind you of the strength you have in Jesus. Ephesians 2:10 tells us that we are God’s handiwork, created for good works, so don’t bury the beautiful gifts that God has given you.
