What if your next business breakthrough begins with the “ask” you’ve been avoiding?

Ladies, if God’s favor were added to your faith and willingness to act, your competence and God’s Wisdom, along with your commitment to stewardship, what changes might you expect to see in your business in the Marketplace?

Check out my article, "Faith to Shift the Marketplace: Building Your Business with God’s Favor" to learn your next step to greater Marketplace success for your business.

What if your next business breakthrough begins with the “ask” you’ve been avoiding?

Ladies, if God’s favor were added to your faith and willingness to act, your expertise and God’s Wisdom, and your commitment to stewardship, what level of business could you experience in the Marketplace?

Throughout the Bible, we see women making decisions, conducting business, managing resources, and using what they had to bless others.

I believe God continues to call His daughters to bring faith, Wisdom, and excellence into the Marketplace. In 2 Kings 4:1–7, a widow overcome by debt and whose sons were about to be sold into slavery follows God’s direction through the prophet Elisha, sells the oil she had in her home, pays her debt, and uses the remainder to support her household.

God’s Favor opens possibilities; Faith moves us to act; God’s Wisdom helps us build; and Stewardship opens opportunities and doors for others.

What will you do with what you have been given?

A Widow’s Business Plan: From Debt to Financial Freedom

Ladies, if God’s favor were added to your faith and willingness to act, your expertise and God’s Wisdom, and your commitment to stewardship, what changes might you expect to see in your business in the Marketplace?

In Exodus 3, God promised His people favor as He prepared to bring them out of bo***ge. Then He gave the women a specific instruction in Exodus 3:21–22: ask. Those women boldly requested what God had instructed them to ask for. Because of their boldness, they helped secure resources to carry their families into a new season.

I believe God continues to call His daughters to bring faith, Wisdom, and excellence into the Marketplace. That requires us to recognize what He has entrusted to us—and take responsibility for developing it and fulfilling our Marketplace missions.

The point is: God’s Favor opens possibilities; Faith moves us to act; God’s Wisdom helps us build; and Stewardship opens opportunities and doors for others.

Today, let’s explore three ways we can build our businesses with God’s favor.

💡 1. Recognize the favor God has given you—and have faith to act.
Principle: God promised favor, but He also instructed the women to ask. Their faith required participation. They had to open their mouths and make a specific request for the resources God had identified.

Supporting Scriptures: Exodus 3:21–22; James 2:17; Psalm 90:17

Business Reflection: Where have you been waiting for an opportunity while avoiding the action needed to pursue it?

💡 2. Build your Business with the Wisdom God provides along with your industry’s requirements.
Principle: The woman described in Proverbs 31:10–31 evaluates a field, buys it, plants a vineyard, recognizes the value of her products, and sells what she produces. Her example connects enterprise with discernment, diligence, and care for others.

Supporting Scriptures: Proverbs 31:16–18, 24–26; James 1:5

Business Reflection: What needs greater wisdom in your business—pricing, partnerships, operations, or how you use your time?

💡 3. Steward the increase to create lasting impact.
Principle: In 2 Kings 4:1–7, a widow overcome by debt and whose sons were about to be sold into slavery follows God’s direction through the prophet Elisha, involves her sons, sells the oil she had in her home, pays her debt, and uses the remainder to support her household. Provision becomes a pathway toward stability.

In Acts 16:14–15, 40, Lydia is identified as a wealthy businesswoman whose home became a place of hospitality and support for believers.

Faith-Driven Businesswomen: We must build businesses that support our households, serve customers well, create opportunities, and give generously.
Supporting Scriptures: 2 Kings 4:1–7; Acts 16:14–15, 40; Proverbs 31:20

Business Reflection: Who could benefit if you built a stronger, more sustainable business?

“Stewardship becomes the bridge between what God entrusts to us and what others can access through our leadership.” …Dr. Yvette

Ladies, what are you missing right now that could truly change your life?

A step of faith? Walking away? A course or class that shifts your mindset? The experience of finally doing what God called you to do?

God sees you trying to build your business. And if we're honest, right now it feels stalled. You feel like you missed your opportunity.

This is your confirmation: it's NOT time to quit.

When God has already given you the idea, the business plan, and the strategy, maybe the missing link is His favor.

Tomorrow, Dr. Yvette Rice is teaching "Faith to Shift the Marketplace: Building Your Business with God's Favor" on Women The Word and The Marketplace.

Ladies, “Faith anchors your business. Systems help you put that faith into practice when pressure comes.”

As I thought about the weather forecast in my area due to the remnants of a developing hurricane, the Lord led me to Matthew 7:24-27 AMP in the Bible.

“So everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, will be like a wise man [a far-sighted, practical, and sensible man] who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods and torrents came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not do them, will be like a foolish (stupid) man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods and torrents came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great and complete was its fall.”

In this scripture, both houses endured the storm, but their foundation determined whether the house survived or crumbled.

My question to you is: What foundation and systems have you built your business on so that, through economic challenges, client demands and shifts, and life’s personal challenges, your business is still left standing?

Jesus describes the wise builder as someone who hears His words and acts on them. For Faith-Driven women, our foundation begins with obedience to God, integrity, and clarity about our Marketplace assignments. That clarity should shape practical decisions about customers, offers, pricing, and growth.

Jesus emphasized hearing His words and acting on them. As we apply that principle to our businesses, we must ask: Have we put structure around the assignment God has given us? Have we established processes that support consistent service, responsible financial decisions, and clear leadership—even when circumstances change?

The time to strengthen your business is before the pressure exposes its weaknesses. When revenue slows, clients’ needs shift, or a personal challenge requires your attention, you need systems that help you respond with wisdom.

In this episode we will examine three practical ways to build a business that can stand through the storms: establish your foundation before you expand, turn your wisdom into repeatable systems, and build the capacity to respond before the storm arrives.

To learn more about building your business on the right foundation, 🎥 watch the full episode on Women, The Word, and The Marketplace™.

“Jesus did not promise that the wise builder would avoid the storm. He showed us the importance of building a foundation that could withstand it. Seek God’s direction—and put that direction into practice.” …Dr. Yvette

Not every good business opportunity is necessarily God-directed.

As CEOs and business leaders, we develop plans, evaluate opportunities, study the Marketplace, and determine how to grow. But as Faith-Driven CEOs, there's another question that should come before all the others:

“God, what is Your strategy?”

In Episode 48 of Women, The Word, and The Marketplace™, Dr. Yvette Rice challenges Faith-Driven women in business to examine whether the strategies they're pursuing align with the assignments God has given them.

In this episode, we'll discuss three important principles:

� 1. Don't Force-Fit Business Opportunities.
An opportunity can be profitable, prestigious, and visible—and still not align with your assignment.

� 2. Be Open to Shift Your Strategy as God Guides You.
In Luke 5:1–7, Peter knew his profession, had the right equipment, and had years of experience. Yet Jesus gave him a different strategy. Sometimes God isn't changing your assignment—He's changing your strategy.

� 3. Expect God's Strategy to Work.
Once you've prayed, sought wisdom, received direction, responsibly evaluated the strategy, and believe you're aligned with God's direction—execute.
God can give you the strategy, but obedience is what puts the net in the water.

Peter's obedience ultimately produced a result greater than his individual capacity:

Alignment produced obedience.
Obedience produced increase.
Increase created a capacity requirement.

So, what's happening in your business right now?

Is God telling you to walk away from an opportunity, change your strategy, or finally trust Him enough to execute the strategy He's already given you?
Ladies, God isn't asking us to choose between faith and strategy. He's teaching us how to bring our faith into the strategy room.

� Scriptures: Proverbs 19:21 | Luke 5:1–7 | Proverbs 16:3

Ladies, when we think about great leaders, we often see the finished product.
We see the confident CEO.
We see the accomplished Executive.
We see the powerful Minister.
We see the woman who walks into the room with authority, wisdom, and confidence.

But what we don't always see is what it took to make her.

We don't see the disappointment she survived.
We don't see the doors that closed, the betrayal, the mistakes, or the seasons when the business struggled.
We don’t see the career setback, the ministry challenge, or the moments when she questioned whether she had what it took to keep going.

Yet some of those very experiences became part of the Making of the Leader.

True leaders are not merely discovered in difficult seasons; they are developed through them.

God can use what we endure to produce maturity, perspective, endurance, wisdom, and greater leadership capacity.

Pressure → Perseverance → Perspective → Purpose

Today I want to speak to the Faith-Driven woman who may be leading through a difficult season.

Whether you are a CEO building a company, a Career Professional leading in a corporate opportunity, or a Minister carrying an assignment from God, I want you to understand something: What you are going through does not necessarily mean something has gone wrong. God may be using this season to develop the leader your next assignment will require.

Let’s Talk About Four Elements that Make a Leader.

� 1. PRESSURE — Leadership Reveals What Is Already Inside You.
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:17–18

Pressure doesn't just test the business. It tests the leader running the business.

� 2. PERSEVERANCE — Don't Leave the Development Process Too Early.
Scripture: James 1:2–4
James doesn't merely say trials produce endurance. He says to let endurance have its perfect result. That means God can develop something in us through the process.

The goal isn't merely to get out of the difficult season. We must ask God, “What are You developing in me while I am going through it?”

� 3. PERSPECTIVE — Mature Leaders Learn to See Beyond the Moment.
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:18
Reactionary leaders make permanent decisions based upon temporary circumstances.

Mature leaders acknowledge what is happening while maintaining perspective about what is possible beyond what they presently see. Never allow a temporary circumstance to become a permanent definition of who you are.

�4. PURPOSE — Eventually, the Leader Understands What the Process Produced.
Scripture: Genesis 50:19-20 (I suggest you read Joseph’s entire story in the Book of Genesis.

Joseph's leadership development didn't happen when Pharaoh gave him authority. It had been happening for years. The palace revealed the leader. But the process made the leader.

What is this season developing in you?
