Business Strategies Through God’s Ways: Reflection on My Preaching at Divine Assemblies International Church, Gakuto – Kweneng Constituency

On Sunday, I had the distinguished honor of ministering at Divine Assemblies International Church in Gakuto, Kweneng Constituency, where I shared a message titled:

“Business Strategy Through God’s Ways: Jesus Christ, The Greatest CEO.”

Drawing inspiration from John 21:1–11 and John 21:15–18, I reflected on profound business principles embedded in the life-changing encounter between Jesus and His disciples after the resurrection.

“Before you ask God to bless your business, first ask Him to sit on the CEO seat of your business.

Success is not found in what you know — it is found in Who you follow.

Jesus must be the CEO, the Strategist, the Director, and the Visionary of all that you build.”

The Context of the Message

After enduring the silence of three days following Christ’s crucifixion, the disciples — weary and restless — decided to revert to their former trade: fishing. Among them was Peter, an experienced fisherman, alongside six others.

They fished all night — a time when fishing was most productive — yet caught nothing.

At the break of dawn, Jesus appeared, unrecognized at first, and issued a simple but strategic instruction:

“Cast your net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” (John 21:6)

Upon obeying without debate, they hauled a miraculous catch — 153 large fish — a testament that success is not by toil alone, but by divine strategy and obedience.

Key Business Strategies Taught at Divine Assemblies International

1. Skill Without Divine Instruction Produces Emptiness

Despite Peter’s expertise, without Jesus’ intervention, they labored in vain.

The marketplace today mirrors this reality: many skilled entrepreneurs struggle because they operate independently of God’s guidance.

Key Mentorship Principle:

Never run your business by experience alone. Run it by divine instruction.

2. Immediate Obedience Unlocks Breakthrough

When Jesus told them to cast the net to the right side, they obeyed immediately.

No debate. No hesitation. No professional argument.

Key Mentorship Principle:

Success is on the other side of obedience. Quick obedience is better than delayed logic.

3. God Invests Into Your Success First

After empowering Peter’s fishing business with a miraculous harvest, Jesus turned and said:

“Peter, do you love me more than these? Feed my lambs.” (John 21:15)

Key Mentorship Principle:

God blesses you first, not merely for personal gain, but to prepare you for Kingdom service.

God will elevate your business, your finances, your influence — then entrust you with a greater assignment:

to feed, mentor, lead, empower, and build others.

4. Divine Partnership Over Human Expertise

Jesus owned the fish. He knew where they were.

Peter owned the boat and the nets, but Jesus owned the results.

Key Mentorship Principle:

You may own the systems, but without God owning the outcomes, success remains elusive.

5. Jesus Christ: The Greatest CEO

At Divine Assemblies International Church, I emphasized how Jesus perfectly models leadership and entrepreneurship excellence:

Leadership Attribute	Example from John 21	Business Application
Visionary Leadership	Jesus redefines the disciples’ mission	Craft a business with a purpose beyond profit
Empowerment	He empowers Peter to lead others	Train successors, not just employees
Compassion and Care	Provides breakfast for weary fishermen	Build a people-first culture
Strategic Direction	Instructs specific positioning (right side)	Follow divine positioning in business
Sustainable Growth	Commissions Peter for long-term impact	Plan for sustainability and future expansion

The Broader Business Mentorship Lessons I Shared

• Business is a Ministry.
  Your business must be an altar where God’s glory is displayed, not just a marketplace.
• Blessings Carry Responsibilities.
  Every increase demands greater stewardship and greater Kingdom responsibility.
• Marketplace Apostleship.
  Entrepreneurs are called to be apostles in the marketplace — influencing economics, ethics, and culture under Christ’s Lordship.
• Timing and Positioning.
  Success depends on “throwing the net” at the right time, in the right place, by divine instruction.
• From Prosperity to Purpose.
  When God blesses your business, it’s not an end — it’s a new beginning:
  to feed the lambs, mentor the next generation, and expand the Kingdom of God.

Final Words I Left With the Congregation

Divine Assemblies International Church in Gakuto, Kweneng Constituency, was blessed that day — but I, too, was equally humbled and inspired by the reception of the Word, the hunger for Kingdom entrepreneurship, and the spirit of excellence demonstrated by the leadership of the church.

Declaration of Business Success in God’s Ways

“Father, help me to launch where You instruct, invest where You direct, harvest where You reveal, and build what brings You glory.

I surrender my gifts, my business, and my vision to Your leadership.

You are the CEO of my enterprise forever.”

PRIME PROMOTIONS BOTSWANA WAS JUST A NAME AT CIPA WITHOUT PROJECTS.

 

DECEPTION IS A SPIRIT.

In reflection and with deep introspection, I write this not with bitterness but with clarity, experience, and the lessons gained from a chapter that has come to its natural end. In the past week, I have come to understand profoundly that power, when not anchored in purpose and humility, can indeed corrupt. It has the potential to derail noble visions, distort truth, and transform ambition into a theatre of failure. As I have observed the recent dissolution of Prime Promotions Botswana (PPB), I am neither surprised nor discouraged. What transpired was long foretold and spiritually discerned.

From October 2024 to April 2025, we found ourselves trapped in a cycle of endless meetings at the Botswana Chamber of Mines (BCM)—gathering not to execute projects, not to empower farmers, not to scale agro-processing or value chains, but to argue over titles, positions, signatures, and control. The real work was ignored in pursuit of illusions of power. Lawyers were summoned, not to legalize progress, but to legitimize division. What was supposed to be a vehicle for agricultural transformation turned into a courtroom of egos.

Meanwhile, outside the walls of the boardroom, real work was taking place.
Hunter’s Global Network, in partnership with Farmer’s Pride International and Uphopia Farms, continued moving forward with practical projects on the ground—training farmers, forming clusters, building drying hubs, securing export markets, and facilitating innovation through the Rural and Urban Agriculture Innovative Production Program (RUAIPP). As others debated titles, we were digging trenches, erecting structures, and harvesting hope.

We were not caught off-guard by what unfolded. Weeks before the unfortunate events, we were spiritually forewarned by prophetic counsel—our mentors and spiritual fathers—who told us: "This initiative called PPB is merely a name at CIPA. Take caution. It is going nowhere unless those around it change their hearts." Sadly, their warning became reality.

How can agriculture, a sacred endeavor of feeding nations, thrive when controlled by individuals more concerned with hierarchy than harvests?
How do you build sustainability from boardrooms without people in the field?
How do you mobilize national transformation through deception, manipulation, and personal ambition?

It is a national tragedy and a personal disappointment that PPB became nothing more than a paper—a stressful, short-lived project that wasted our time, energy, and vision. To those who sat in a boardroom, manufactured lies, and held an unconstitutional meeting to bury a vision, you have taught us one lesson: Agriculture will never succeed in any country where greed and power-lust are the foundation.

To my fellow leaders and partners in progress: this has been a sobering experience. But we will not be derailed. Hunter’s Global Network, Farmer’s Pride International, and Uphopia Farms are still standing, still working, and still delivering. The exit of Prime Promotions Botswana from our lives is not a death but a deliverance. The falsehoods now being peddled by some former board members are expected—because truth has a way of provoking the insecure.

To 3 PPB musketeers, we thank you. This experience, though disappointing, was not in vain. Through you, we learned what to avoid in future partnerships. We saw firsthand how not to build organizations. We appreciate the lesson, and we bid you peace.

As we look to the future, we do so with renewed purpose and spiritual grounding. We walk into our calling knowing fully well that those who work sincerely, those who till the land and serve the people, will always rise beyond boardroom politics and egotistical sabotage.

Happy Easter to all who still believe in purpose over politics, in unity over titles, and in work over words. May we all grow from this.
