Some of you may be called to build a great business for the kingdom, but you're currently working for someone else and trying to birth it yourself. Stay faithful in serving the person you're working for; work for them as if it were your own company. One day, God will promote you and give you that Isaac, that promise He has made to you. Some of you may be called to write books, but you're writing them prematurely. You know you're called to write books, but right now, you should be serving. Don't try to birth what God promises you through your own strength.
I'm telling you, it's a miserable endeavor. It brings striving, struggling, and hardship to your family, and it creates financial difficulties. However, when God truly births what He has called you to do—and He has called each of you to do something significant for the kingdom—let me tell you, when He brings that promise to pass, He adds no sorrow to it. What did God say? Cast out the bondwoman and her son of the flesh because he will not be heir with the son of the promise. Understand this: what you birth in the flesh, you will have to provide for in the flesh, but what God's Spirit births in your life, God will provide for. Don't birth any Ishmaels.
