What’s up, my Greats!
Let’s talk about something most entrepreneurs never admit out loud.
You’re not stuck because you’re unqualified.
You’re not stuck because the opportunity isn’t there.
You’re not stuck because God forgot about you.
Most of the time?
You’re stuck because you stopped asking, stopped seeking, and stopped knocking.
Jesus broke it down like this:
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”
— Matthew 7:7
Simple. Direct. Zero fluff.
So why don’t we do it?
Because too many of us carry dreams that we’re too scared to speak out loud. We settle for “realistic.” We tone down our goals so nobody laughs. We stop knocking because rejection bruised our ego once or twice.
Let me tell you something straight: Silence is not a strategy. Passive hope is not faith. Closed mouths don’t get fed.
1. Ask Like You Actually Believe It’s Possible
Most people ask politely, quietly, almost apologetically—like they’re bothering God or the world with their ambition.
No. Ask boldly. Ask like you’re supposed to win. Ask like you’re expecting an answer.
The size of your ask tells the truth about the size of your faith.
2. Seek Like You’re Hunting For Your Life
Seeking isn’t casual browsing.
Seeking is effort.
Seeking is movement.
Seeking is showing up when you’re tired, learning the skills, making the calls, sending the emails, showing up to empty rooms and giving it your all anyway.
You can’t find anything if you’re not moving.
You can’t receive a blessing you’re too distracted to notice.
Ask God for direction, then actually go look for it.
3. Knock Until Your Knuckles Bleed
Some doors aren’t locked. They just need a persistent knock.
But here’s the real problem—people knock once, don’t hear anything, and walk away.
Let me be blunt:
One unanswered email doesn’t mean no.
One failed launch doesn’t mean quit.
One person not supporting you doesn’t mean your vision is trash.
Knock again.
Knock louder.
Knock until the right door opens. And if the wrong door doesn’t? Good—that saves you from walking into the wrong room.
4. God Isn’t Withholding—He’s Waiting
Jesus followed up with this:
“Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone?” — Matthew 7:9
God isn’t playing games with your future. He’s not dangling success like a carrot. He’s not teasing you with potential He doesn’t plan to fulfill.
But He responds to action.
He responds to faith.
He responds to boldness.
Not fear. Not hesitation. Not passive wishing.
Here’s the Real Talk
If you’re not asking, you’re limiting your access.
If you’re not seeking, you’re limiting your growth.
If you’re not knocking, you’re limiting your opportunities.
Nothing changes until you do.
And the moment you start moving with conviction, things begin to shift—doors open, people show up, and breakthroughs start breaking through.
So here’s your challenge this week:
Ask for something bigger.
Seek something deeper.
Knock on the door you’ve been avoiding.
You’re not stuck—you’re one bold action away from your next level.
Now go make it happen.

FROM MANNY D.
“The life you want is not going to knock on your door. You have to get up, move first, and meet it halfway with faith, effort, and intention. God honors motion. When you step forward on purpose, He meets you with direction.”
