It’s Either All-In or All-Over (Business Devo)

Reference2 Kings 13:10-19
Success requires fully committed conviction and perseverance. We examine the Biblical story of King Jehoash who lacked the depth and perseverance to lead boldly, failing to break negative cycles.SummaryIn this business devotional, we explore an important leadership case study from the Bible about conviction, perseverance, and avoiding half-heartedness. We analyzes the story of King Jehoash from 2 Kings 13, who did not depart from the sins of past leaders and lacked the conviction to chart a righteous path. His interaction with the prophet Elisha further reveals no depth or wholehearted commitment.We see how easy it is for leaders to perpetuate bad habits or curses rather than making the hard choices to break trajectories. Every family and organization needs “the one” bold leader to shift course. This demands convicted purpose, not surface-level ambition.We learn that talents and giftings should be developed wholeheartedly as resources from God, not wasted through lack of perseverance. Challenges will arise requiring mental toughness beyond just skill. Half-heartedness leads to failure. Success requires fully leveraging your talents for your mission with perseverance.Top 3 Growth Tips[6:23] To leave a legacy, lead with deep conviction to change trajectories rather than blind ambition[15:44] Root yourself in God, an unmovable source beyond human hope that empowers risk-taking[29:01] Leverage your gifts wholeheartedly with perseverance or don’t start; half efforts get wastedFor more tips, discussion, and behind the scenes:Follow us on Instagram @GrowtimeShowWatch us on YouTubeAbout Ken Ott:Kenneth Ott is an owner of multiple businesses, entrepreneur, husband, father, and Christian leader.
