Goodbye Egypt Otescia R Johnson

Have you ever sat at work asking yourself, "What am I doing here?" Do you desire to use your gifts for God's glory while still earning what you need to provide for your lifestyle? Does your desire for God's purpose for your life make working for someone else feel like a total waste of your time? Have you heard God tell you to step out on faith, but resisted the call due to fear?

Each person who walks the Earth has a unique God-mandated purpose to fulfill during their lifetime. For many people, that mandate includes stepping outside of our comfort zones and launching businesses and ministries. For people who are in those categories, working a traditional 9-5 job can often feel like bondage. I remember the day God revealed His intention for my life. I was terrified to go against everything I'd been taught. I was afraid of what people would say about me. I was petrified I wouldn't be able to contribute to my family financially. God being the magnificent omniscient Father that He is, silenced my fears and doubt with one question, "Do you trust me?" It was this question that led me on a multi-year journey with God about my destiny in the Earth, and how my life and business would impact the lives of others for His glory!

"Goodbye Egypt" was birthed from my journey with God and is intended to help Kingdom Entrepreneurs make the journey from Egypt (traditional employment) to the Promised Land (entrepreneurship). The children of Israel wandered in the wilderness for 40 years and died without being able to experience their promise for the same reason many Kingdom citizens die without obtaining what God has promised them. It is my prayer that this book provides the insight you need to overcome your fear and experience the freedom and provision God has ordained for your life. Our call to entrepreneurship goes much deeper than God providing finances for our homes. It is an extension of our personal ministry, a divine use of our gifts, and a pathway to bringing glory to the one true and living God! Join me as we reclaim the marketplace for Him!
