Why I am sharing this with you
Hey family, listen. I am always looking for things to share with you. A lot of it comes from conversations I have, ideas I get, or things I listen to.
I listen to Dan Romer a lot on YouTube. He is big on being a kingdom entrepreneur, not just a Christian who happens to own a business. I listened to a video where he talks about scaling as a CEO under God. Seeing God as the One who enables you when you are the operator.
This is really for people who are operating a business, like Isabella and me. If you are a Christian entrepreneur and you are the one pulling the levers, deciding how to scale, how to get in front of more people, how to grow financially, this is for you.
Dan talks about scaling spiritually so you can scale financially. If you scale financially without scaling spiritually, things get out of whack. Money makes an excellent servant, but a poor master. You do not want to serve money.
If you are going to run a kingdom business, it is not a side hustle. It is something you dedicate to the Lord. God wants you to prosper. God did it with Abraham. He did not just make him rich. He made him very rich.
I believe it is God’s will for you to prosper. I believe the blessing of Abraham is available to you. A lot of Christians lean only on the blessing of Jesus, which is a spiritual blessing. They do not tap into the blessing of Abraham. Abraham did not speak with tongues. Abraham never cast out demons. But God made Abraham rich in cattle and silver and gold. That is a natural blessing. I have taught on this before.
Watch the video. In this write-up I am giving you nuggets from Dan and some of my own. Download the PDF or go through the webpage. Let’s discuss it in the comments.

What Dan taught
Dan is talking to kingdom business people who are done with cute business. He says the marketplace is a battleground. Not glossy Instagram wealth. A real fight.
Battle behind the bank account
In Genesis 14, Abraham’s financial breakthrough sits inside massive personal sacrifice. Lot is taken. Family is on the line. Abraham has to enter the fight.
Every promise has a process
God promised Abraham land and blessing to the nations. The process required him to become a man of war. Spiritual and economic warfare is real.
Discern where you lay your life down
Learn the difference between laying your life down for God and getting sucked into a seductive wealth system that can ruin your household for generations.
Two voices when you prosper
Melchizedek brings tithe, fellowship, and priesthood. The king of Sodom offers false partnerships that fund golden calves. Prosperity invites both.
Already wealthy in God
God is your very great reward. The business is an entrustment and a stewardship. Nothing belongs to the entrepreneur as owner. It belongs to God.
More than enough in famine
Walk in obedience. Race to honor the Lord. Reclaim industries, streets, and people groups for the King of kings. We have already won.
Genesis 14 arc: rescue, battle, breakthrough
Dan’s arc is Genesis 14. Rescue. Battle. Breakthrough. Then the fork in the road between Melchizedek and Sodom.
- There is a battle behind the bank account. Abraham’s financial breakthrough sits inside massive personal sacrifice.
- Every promise has a process. The process required him to become a man of war.
- When you prosper, two voices show up. Melchizedek (bread and wine, tithe, priesthood) vs the king of Sodom (false partnerships, golden calves).
Stewardship and Kingdom abundance
- You are already wealthy in God. God is your very great reward. The business is an entrustment and a stewardship.
- Even in famine, a Kingdom citizen can have more than enough. Walk in obedience. Race to honor the Lord.
- Reclaim industries, streets, and people groups for the King of kings. We have already won.
Here is what I want you to see
Spiritual scale comes before strategy. God is the God of the business. When you know He owns it, and you are genuinely seeking to do whatever He tells you to do, He can give you strategy, insight, wisdom, and understanding from above.
Dan is right about the battleground. I am adding this. Do not treat kingdom business like a hobby God tolerates on the side. Dedicate it. Steward it. Scale your heart with God while you scale the work.
The blessing of Abraham and the blessing of Jesus
I have taught this in Galatians. Hear it plain.
A lot of Christians lean only on the blessing of Jesus, which is a spiritual blessing. They do not tap into the blessing of Abraham. Abraham did not speak with tongues. Abraham never cast out demons. But God made Abraham rich in cattle and silver and gold.
Rick Piña- Spiritual blessing
- Righteousness, peace, joy in the Holy Spirit
- Eternal life and union with God
- Ephesians 1:3 - already blessed in Christ with every spiritual blessing
- Natural blessing
- Cattle, silver, gold
- Provision, protection, influence, generational impact
- Galatians 3:9 - blessed with Abraham, not just like him
Galatians 3:9 says those who rely on faith are blessed with Abraham, not just like him. Same blessing. Same family of faith. You are not begging for scraps. You are walking in an inheritance.
Jewish entrepreneurs often expect Abraham’s blessing in business. Many Christians miss it. They treat the marketplace like it is less holy than the pulpit. Your workplace is ministry. Your business can be your pulpit. Faith activates Abraham’s blessing in every area, including the marketplace.
In Christ you get both. Spiritual and natural. Do not let religious thinking rob you of half your inheritance.
God wants you to prosper
I believe it is God’s will for you to prosper. That is not greed talk. That is purpose talk.
Biblical prosperity is about purpose fulfillment, not pleasure accumulation. God prospers you to accomplish your assignment, not just to pile up stuff. Prosperity with purpose is biblical. Prosperity as purpose is idolatry. God prospers you so you can bless others and advance His Kingdom.
Deuteronomy 8:18 says the Lord gives you the power to get wealth, and that confirms His covenant. Money itself is not evil. The love of money is. Money makes an excellent servant and a poor master.
So renew your mind. Steward what God puts in your hands. Stay a channel, not a reservoir. Character still matters more than cash. Scale spiritually so the financial scale does not own you.
Biblical prosperity is about purpose fulfillment, not pleasure accumulation. Prosperity with purpose is biblical. Prosperity as purpose is idolatry. Stay a channel, not a reservoir.
How I am applying it
Isabella and I are operators. I have to decide which levers to pull. How we scale. How we get in front of more people. How we grow financially without serving money.
I am taking Dan’s Genesis 14 warning seriously. When increase comes, I want Melchizedek posture, not Sodom partnerships. Tithe. Fellowship with the King. Stewardship. God owns the business. I am seeking Him for strategy and wisdom from above while we build.
Kingdom business is not our side hustle. It is dedicated to the Lord. Scale spiritually. Then scale financially under His hand.
- Where am I scaling financially faster than I am scaling spiritually?
- When increase shows up, am I answering Melchizedek or the king of Sodom?
- Am I walking in both the blessing of Jesus and the blessing of Abraham, or only one?
