Don't Rush the Root Work in Kingdom Entrepreneurship

Inspired by “It’s Working” by Bishop William Murphy III
Today, I found myself sitting with the lyrics of this gospel song...
“This is my season to reap what I have sown.”
I didn’t remember the title at first, but those words stirred something deep in my spirit. I started thinking about life, entrepreneurship, purpose, and what it means to truly "wait well" during a sowing season.
We often fixate on the harvest... What we’re believing for... What we’re building toward... What we want to see manifest...
But in doing so, we can start to despise the sowing season. We forget that you can’t reap what you haven’t planted, watered, protected, or waited on. And then I heard God gently remind me...
“Not all sowing seasons are created equal, and neither are their harvests.”
Comparison is The Thief of Joy in Spiritual Growth
Here’s what that means to me as it relates to spiritual growth...
Some things grow quickly because they’re not built to last. Ants come in swarms. They multiply fast. They’re everywhere. But their lifespan is short. Their impact is limited. Their legacy is minimal.
But then there’s the elephant. Elephant pregnancies can last up to two years. That’s extended hidden development. But the result? A majestic creature with power, presence, and longevity. Elephants just don’t show up overnight. But when they do, they leave a mark.
That’s what kingdom building feels like. It’s not flashy. It’s not quick. It’s not always "Instagrammable." But it’s holy and it’s heavy with purpose. So I’m reminding myself...
“Don’t compare your sowing season to someone else’s harvest.”
You don’t know their soil. You don’t know if their harvest came from striving or from obedience. You don’t know if they’re building for now or for eternity.
Growing Weary in the Waiting
There’s a temptation to believe that if something hasn’t "popped off" yet, then maybe it wasn’t from God. But delay is not denial. The deeper the roots, the stronger the legacy. Roots are the invisible evidence of growth. They don’t get likes. They don’t get applause. But they are essential.
Without root work, there can be no fruit work. Yet, this is usually where most people grow weary. Right in the hidden underground season. Right when consistency feels unnoticed. Right when everything God promised starts to seem like a faint, questionable memory. But all of those thoughts and mixed feelings are part of the process. When sitting and reflecting, God whispered...
“I’m not just preparing the fruit. I’m preparing you to carry it.”
Just like new life being formed in the womb, preparation happens in the dark. In the quiet. In the hidden places. In the stretch. So today, I choose...
✔ Not to despise the sowing.
✔ Not to compare my pace.
✔ To anchor myself in His promises.
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” -Galatians 6:9 (NIV)
Making the Most of This Moment
Maybe you’re in a hidden season too... where the soil feels heavy, the roots are deep, but the fruit hasn’t broken through the surface yet. That doesn’t mean you’re behind. It means you’re being built.
And if you’ve been wrestling with whether an idea, vision, or dream is truly from God, this is exactly why I created Divine Dream Creator. Because I know what it’s like to pour energy into something only to realize I've been laboring in vain.
That’s why every service, guide, and session is designed to help you:
Test the roots before you chase the fruit
Build in alignment, not anxiety
Move from divine download to obedient delivery

It’s the same framework I use before I build anything new, and it could be the clarity you need right now. Because the truth is… your harvest isn’t just about what you reap. It’s about what you’re prepared to sustain.
