Power That Prospers: 8 Steps of Powerhouse Growth
Build Like The Oak Tree
There is a difference between power as the world sees it and power as God sees it.
So often, we evaluate our lives through a worldly lens. If we do not accomplish every goal or complete every checkmark on our to do list, we feel as though we have failed or fallen short. We set incredible standards for ourselves in the pursuit of prosperity and growth in God, yet we measure success by exhaustion and output.
But when you begin to see prosperity the way God sees it, everything changes.
The way the guru haphazardly builds, the power behind nonstop hustling, working sixteen hour days while missing time with family, no longer appeals to you. You become the woman who moves completely outside the boundaries of traditional business thinking. You earn differently. You create differently. You strategically allot your time differently.
All in alignment with God’s divine design for your life.
No more trying to figure everything out on your own. No more spending hours and hours attempting to break through. Walking with God is a completely different story. There is a different energetic balance. You are no longer wasting your energy trying to do all the things, learn all the things, and force outcomes to happen.
Instead, you let go of society’s definition of success and the systems that built what we see today. You begin to build eternally. You build with ease. You build with balance. You build something with real legacy, something that will stand the test of time.
As a Powerhouse woman, your assignment is not to build the way the world builds. Your calling is to be a light on a hill so that God may be glorified through your life. When you are a woman who has raised children, retired from a career, or entered a new season of purpose, success begins to look different.
It looks more like Joyce Meyer in action. It looks like a mighty woman of God in her fifties and sixties operating in a Kingdom assignment with teams and support. Building with God looks different. It defies logic. It often makes no sense to the world.
People will call it luck, but you will know it was intentionality and blessing that shifted everything. Your life becomes a witness. Your testimony begins to shake the foundations of other people’s lives.
This kind of building makes people uncomfortable, especially when they are accustomed to fast results and microwave faith. Just as Sarah once convinced Abraham to produce Ishmael through impatience, building with God can feel illogical to those who are rushing outcomes. It may seem slow. It may not make sense. It may appear as though it is not worth it.
It’s Up to You to Choose
It is up to you to choose something different. It is up to you to steward the measure of faith God has given you and to build intentionally and strategically. This kind of building may take much longer than you ever imagined, but it goes far deeper.
Your development and growth may take three years compared to someone else’s haphazard three month success. But what you build will last. It will stand. It will endure.
Power in the world is often about ego, control, visibility, and the appearance of being on top. But power that prospers is rooted in intentionality, consistency, deliberateness, and steadfastness.
Power that prospers takes time. It grows in seasons.
Consider the mighty oak tree.
The years and years of growth an oak tree undergoes give it the ability to stand for hundreds of years. It becomes deeply rooted. Its roots spread wide beneath the surface. Over time, the root system expands and strengthens. Scientific studies have even examined oak trees to better understand the sources of their longevity and resilience.
Let’s break down how the oak tree’s development translates to Powerhouse women in business. A few things to keep in mind:
