0:00 Wisdom has [music] already built her house. Seven pillars hewn, established. Wow, God's word, Proverbs 9. It's standing. It's beautiful, and most kingdom founders are out there running around trying to build a business out of a tent, to use that Proverbs 9 language, and they're wondering why nothing ever holds together. Well, the problem isn't the gifting. The problem is you've been hustling without a blueprint, and wisdom was there all along waiting to give you one. So, in this video, I want to show you what Proverbs 9 has been trying to tell you for a very long time. So, open your Bible to Proverbs 9 and verse 1. Let's go to business
0:46 school. So, wisdom has built her house. She has hewn her seven pillars. She has slaughtered her meat. She has mixed her wine. She has also furnished her table. She has sent out her maidens. She cries out from the highest places of the city, "Whoever is simple, let him turn in here." Listen. Listen to God's wisdom. I want you to see what's actually happening in this text. The average believer reads this and thinks, "Oh, that's so poetic." And I know, I know, but it's not. It's your business architecture. Wisdom is not this, "Ooh, it's got a vibe." Wisdom, it's not like, "Hey, it's a mood." And it's definitely not a vision board, either. Wisdom is something that's a builder.
1:31 Wisdom built. She quarried stone. She cut pillars. She prepared meat. She mixed wine. She set the table. She raised up a team of maidens to extend the invitation to the table. Wow. And then, and only then, did she stand in the highest place of the city, and wisdom called out to the simple, the people ready to learn, the people who know they need help. I don't even know if you're still with my video off you if you even know you need help. You need help, my friend. And that kind of wisdom, that's not inspiration. That is infrastructure. And the reason I'm passionately preaching this to you today is because most of you who are running a business right now, you some of you pastors, your
2:18 founders, your kingdom entrepreneurs carry carrying a real beautiful assignment. You've been operating like wisdom is some sort of feeling like ooh, how do I feel? Instead of a build. So, my friend, you've got the calling and you got the anointing, you got the prophetic word over your life. What you don't yet have is a built house. You got a tent with a million-dollar dream inside it with the wind flapping. And tents collapse under weight. So, listen, please. This is so beautiful in the scripture here cuz today I want to give you these three simple teaching points pulled straight from Proverbs 9. Three things that will determine whether you finish your assignment in a tent or in a house with pillars that hold. So,
3:05 it's real quick. Let's get into it. This beautiful, it's worth it. First thing I need you to understand, wisdom builds, hustle reacts. So, verse one, wisdom has built her house. Built, past tense, completed action. Wisdom didn't talk about building. Wisdom didn't even pray about building. Wisdom She didn't even post about building, that's for sure. Wisdom built. There's a posture in that word that we've got to make sure we embody. And I don't think I probably most kingdom entrepreneurs do not embody this. Because hustle doesn't build. Hustle reacts. Hustle pulls out the fire loudest in the moment. Hustle answers the email that
3:52 just came in. Anyone? Hustle says yes to the opportunity in front of you because you're afraid the next one won't show up. And hustle hustle does this, it sprints from emergency to emergency. It calls it leadership. No, no, no, no. That's not building, that's surviving. And here's what I want you to feel. The lion hearted founder cannot and must not operate that way. The lion hearted founder is someone whose business is the result of instruction. It's not not just improvisation. Whose company was built on a blueprint, not borrowed energy. And someone that has their offers, their teams, their systems, and a good,
4:39 peaceful rhythm that came out of their quiet time with God. So, you see this kind of Hebraic beauty all through scripture. You see it where God doesn't release Noah to start building until he's given him the dimensions of the ark. God doesn't release Moses to build the tabernacle until he shows him the pattern on the mountain. And with Solomon, God doesn't release Solomon to build the temple until he hands him the architectural plan through his father David. And the pattern is the same every time. But most of you have inverted that. You're building first, and you're asking
5:26 God to bless what you constructed in your panic. And that's not how kingdom works. Wisdom builds because wisdom received instruction first. Wisdom went up the mountain. Wisdom sat in the secret place. Wisdom got the blueprint, and then wisdom quarried the stone and cut the pillars. Nothing even looks like it's got much shape to it through all of that. But that's how that works. Your business has to have the quarrying of stone, the building of pillars, and your business will never rise above the quality of the blueprint it was built on. So, if your business was built reactively, it will operate reactively. If it was built on hustle, it will require hustle to maintain.
6:13 And if your business was built without instruction from God, it's going to become a structure that drains you instead of one that carries you. So, your shift is to stop building from reaction and build from instruction. And before you launch the next project, the next offer, take it up the mountain. But even before you hire the next team member, like bring it to the blueprint. Bef- Before you you launch into those opportunities, you got to ask yourself, is this a stone in the house that God told me to build? Or is this just another tent peg in the chaos? Wisdom builds, hustle reacts, and you were called to build. Second thing is the one I want you to write down.
7:00 Mark this. These seven pillars are not decoration. They are load-bearing. It says here, she has hewn her seven pillars. Now, the seven pillars in Proverbs 9 are super rich. That That's like deep theology. And some scholars connect them to the seven spirits of God in Isaiah 11, which I think is fair. Seven pillars, seven spirits. I don't think it's a super strong connection, but I get it. That's obviously where the Bible will have your mind go. Other scholars connect them to the seven pillars of wisdom that are unpacked across the the the book of Proverbs. And I think that's practical. I I think that's good. So, yes, seven spirits of God, but these areas, seven areas of wisdom. So, you've
7:46 got the fear of the Lord. You got understanding. You got counsel, knowledge prudence discretion and might. And I'm not here to debate which interpretation is right, but I'm here to tell you that the function of those pillars is unmistakable because pillars hold weight. Obviously, a pillar a house without pillars is a tent. And a house with weak pillars is just a collapse waiting to happen. But, a house with seven hewn pillars, pillars cut from solid stone, shaped with intention, that is a house that can carry the assignment God put on it. So, this is our meditation. I want you to ask yourself something. What are the load-bearing pillars in your business right now? If you can't answer that question with specificity,
8:32 you don't have a business. You have a tent with some revenue, but it's a flappy tent. And you the as you look at what a pillar is and you begin to build these pillars, you need to know a pillar is not a hope. A pillar is an intention, a structure that holds weight and transfers the weight to the foundation. And so, in kingdom business, the pillars, they look something like this. They look like your to be super practical, they look like your CEO operating system. You got to have business on a system. All of my coaching clients, I teach them you we've got to develop your philosophy of business. It's the rhythm and the architecture by which you actually run the company. It's not let's innovate every day. It's not your calendar or your inbox. Let's see what email comes in. It's the way
9:19 decisions are made and the way priorities get set. It's the way the whole week is governed. And then another pillar, we'll call it pillar two, is your team. It's not just contractors, thank God for them and freelancers, but it's leaders who own outcomes, and they operate inside the house, as it were, with real authority. I'll give you a third pillar, and that's what is your service. I call this the queen bee role for another for another video. It's your projects, it's your offers, it's your it's you may even be in construction. You might be a retailer, wholesaler, whatever it is. It's productized, it's priced with wisdom, and there's architecture so that you can scale without it demanding your constant presence. That's huge. And then a fourth one is financial structures.
10:05 So, that's solid bookkeeping, tax architecture, profit margins, the separation of personal and business, generosity rhythm. It's that is an altar itself and a pillar. Pillar five is your spiritual life. You're the hidden pillar most founders ignore because pillars are when you look at pillars on the outside of a building, those are not load-bearing. That is facade, that is good looks. It's the pillars you can't see that are there on the inside of the building. Those are the hidden ones that a lot of people ignore. That's your prayer rhythm, that's your scripture intake. Please don't take this as an arrogant way. Like if I don't meditate, take time to sit in Proverbs chapter 9, verses 1 through 5, memorize it. Proverbs 24, by wisdom a house is
10:52 built, through knowledge is it's that through intimate knowledge is rooms are filled with treasure. If I don't if I don't memorize these, if I don't memorize great chunks of scripture, what do I have to give? Like for real. Blessed is the man, Psalm 112, who fears the Lord, delights greatly in his commandments. His children will inherit the land. Wealth and riches will be in his house. His righteousness endures forever. Like I I have a covenant with God. And so many of you listening to this video, you've fallen into some sort of bonds of wickedness with Babylon. You got to have scripture intake, Sabbath. It's an inner architecture that keeps the outer architecture from collapsing. Sixth I'll give you is a family. I got seven kids. I got a marriage we've we've been married 27 years this year.
11:39 And so there's intentionality in household stewardship. And frankly, I'm working more on my marriage in this beautiful season than ever before. When you're in your 20s, you just fly by the seat of your pants. It's just everything's fun. Let's eat ice cream. Let's go to the movies. But there are there are seasons of your life that require unique wisdom. There there are seasons now in your life that require you to be a magnanimous man. And in the business context, a business [snorts] that costs like your family peace is a tent dressed up as a house. And I'll give you a seventh one. Pillar seven is your assignment clarity. The reason this business exists in the kingdom economy. That's your clarity. That's the specific mandate. That's the thing that if you forgot, it would
12:26 render everything else meaningless. So there's seven pillars for you to meditate on today. And here's what I want you to do. I want you to honestly assess which of those pillars are hewn in your business right now, cut from stone, load-bearing, capable of holding weight. That will require honesty. And which one are still just a sketch, as it were? Cuz the pressure that's coming, that economic, the spiritual, the relational, whatever it is, going to test those pillars massively. So the wealthy founder is not the one with the loudest brand. The wealthy founder is the one with the most hewn pillars. Hey, really quick, if this is resonating with you, I want to tell you about something I've put together. It's called the Order of Kings. It's a
13:11 6-month program for six- or seven-figure Christian business leaders who know that God has more for them, more favor, more peace, more kingdom impact, but the way that they're currently building is blocking it. We help you rebuild the foundation, your faith, your family, your finance, so that the favor has somewhere to land and your business becomes what God actually designed it to be. So, this is high touch. It's by application only and it's not for everyone, but if what I just said made something stir inside of you, go ahead, click the link below and apply for a conversation. It's just a real conversation about where you are and where God's taking you. And this is your personal shift to stop trying to grow the house, start hewing [snorts] the pillars one at a time with
13:57 intention, with instruction, within wisdom, and the house will be as strong as the pillars holding it up. So, I'm going to finish with this third and final point for you. The scripture says in Proverbs 9, she has slaughtered her meat, she has mixed her wine, and she has also furnished her table, and she sent out her maidens. What is this? Look at the sequence. Wisdom did the deep work first. She prepared, she built, she established the house, she's hewn the pillars, she's set the table, and then she sent out her maidens. She didn't stand in the marketplace shouting by herself. She didn't run from corner to corner of the city trying to extend every invitation personally. She didn't put like the entire weight
14:44 of it all on her shoulders. She built a team. It's right there. It's in so many instances of scripture. She delegated authority, she sent. Now, I want you to catch the order because in a lot of your businesses you've inverted this, but where most founders try to send them send their maidens before they've built the house. They over hire, they hire the team members before they have the systems. They market the offer before before they've architected it. So many are like they wonder why their team's confused and why their clients are dissatisfied. Well, that's not the way of wisdom. Wisdom built the house first. Wisdom set the table and prepared the meal first and only after the infrastructure was established did she release her team into the marketplace.
15:32 And this is the Moses Jethro principle from a different angle in Exodus 18. Moses is trying to do everything himself and Jethro looks at him and says, "Find able men, men who fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness. Place them over the people as rulers of thousands, of hundreds, of 50s and 10s." Because the assignment was too big for one person. And the only way the deliverance could be sustained was through a team that carried real authority. You see it also in the life of Jesus with the 12 disciples multiplying his ministry. See it in Solomon, 12 officers he had, each responsible for the provision of the kingdom for 1 month of the year in a
16:17 system of delegation. Every wise builder in scripture multiplied themselves through people. And this is the principle for you. If your business cannot run without you, you have not built a house. You've built a stage and the moment you step off it, the show ends. But I want you to be the founder who understands something that so many miss. You're building the team and that is the assignment. You're hewing the pillar of leadership. You're working on your own spiritual vitality. Those are the pillars. And you're not avoiding the work by delegating. You're doing the work that only you can do so as you delegate the other areas of work. And
17:02 the work that only you can do is building the house that builds the team that carries the assignment. And that's your shift. That's your revelation. So, be a builder of wisdom. And wisdom built her house and that will be the testimony on your life and you will hue hue those seven pillars and you will carry a beautiful weight on your assignment. I hope that blessed you.
