Success Isn’t Proof of Obedience: Is Your Wealth Connected to Your Assignment?
42m | Aug 11, 2026I left the Invest Fest stage with one question I couldn’t shake:
Does God promise financial abundance to every believer—or is provision connected to purpose, stewardship, and assignment?
After a powerful conversation with Pastors Philip Anthony Mitchell, Touré Roberts, and Tim Timberlake about business acumen and biblical wisdom, I had to confront an uncomfortable truth:
A business can be profitable and still be out of alignment.An opportunity can look perfect and still not be your assignment.An open door is not always God’s door.
In this episode of Initiated by God, I share why I stepped outside my comfortable lane of teaching money, how criticism made me question this podcast, what disappearing from social media for six months taught me, and why obedience cannot depend on applause.
We’re talking honestly about:
• The difference between prosperity and accumulation• Why success isn’t always confirmation from God• How comparison can make you chase someone else’s assignment• When stewardship quietly becomes worship• Why some profitable opportunities require a “no”• Whether you could surrender the thing you spent years building
I believe in ownership, investing, entrepreneurship, and building wealth—but I also believe we must ask a deeper question:
“God, what did You actually assign me to build?”
Watch until the end, then answer this in the comments:
What have you been chasing that God may have never asked you to carry?
