          Come   on ,   girl .   I   don&#39;t   know   if   I   would   have   got   that   right ,   but   I   would   have   thought   about   it   for   a   minute .   

      </p>

        <cite>Speaker 2</cite>
      <time>0:26</time>
      <p>
          I   had   to   think   about   it ,   but   Chief   executive   officer .

          And   what   does   a   CEO   do ?   Here&#39;s   the   definition   the   CEO   is   the   highest   ranking   person   in   a   company .   While   every   company   differs ,   ceos   normally   manage   the   overall   operations   and   profitability   of   a   company ,   so   typically   the   CEO   is   the   head   person   in   charge .   All   right ,   the   problem   is   that   in   many   marriages   there   are   too   many   CEOs   and   not   enough   CEOs .   There   are   too   many   CEOs ,   chief   executive   officers ,   people   who   are   in   charge ,   people   want   to   make   the   last   call ,   but   not   enough   CEOs .   And   the   second   term   of   CEO   is   being   a   chief   encouragement   officer .   Okay ,   and   so   when   we   talk   about   being   the   CEO   of   your   home ,   drum   roll   please .   That&#39;s   what   we&#39;re   talking   about .   It&#39;s   about   us   being   a   chief   encouragement   officer   and   we   need   more   CEOs   in   the   home .   Chief   encouragement   officer ,   the   chief   encouragement   officer .   And   there&#39;s   too   many   CEOs ,   people   telling   everybody   what   to   do ,   but   not   enough   people   really   giving   encouragement .

People   are   looking   for   encouraging   positive   people .   This   is   a   way   for   you   to   have   better   business   dealings .

      <p>
          looking   for   CEOs .   The   world   is   in   need   of   CEOs .   Any   thoughts   about   that ?

      <p>
          to   start   off ,   yeah ,   I   think   you&#39;re   right .   There&#39;s   so   much   in   our   daily   lives   that   compete   with   God&#39;s   vision   and   God&#39;s   word .   Which   is   positive   and   good .   In   our   lives .   It   tears   us   down   all   day ,   every   day ,   whether   it&#39;s   on   our   jobs ,   social   media ,   whether   it&#39;s   comparison ,   whether   it&#39;s   us   tearing   ourselves   down ,   unmet   expectations ,   unrealistic   expectations .   There&#39;s   so   many   things   that   compete   for   our   positivity .   

      </p>

        <cite>Speaker 1</cite>
      <time>2:25</time>
      <p>
          And   can   I   just   speak   to   the   really   religious   person   for   a   moment   who   feels   like   this   is   just   self-help   and   positivity ?   Stop   right   for   a   moment .   You   got   to   come   to   the   end   because   I&#39;m   going   to   show   you   in   the   Bible   why   this   is   so   important .   And   just   take   it   from   me   after   22   years   of   ministry ,   there   are   too   many   negative ,   fault-finding ,   critical   people   that   are   married   and   they   are   destroying   their   marriages   because   they   don&#39;t   understand   what   it   means   to   be   an   encourager .   They   don&#39;t   understand   that   it&#39;s   even   in   the   Bible .   And   there&#39;s   so   many   people   that   are   destroying   their   churches   because   they   don&#39;t   understand   how   not   to   fault-find   but   to   be   a   CEO .

        <cite>Speaker 1</cite>
      <time>2:59</time>
      <p>
          And   honestly   and   here&#39;s   the   honest   truth   is   that   I   am   naturally   a   little   bit   more   serious .   My   vibe ,   my   natural   vibe ,   is   a   little   bit   more   weighty .   I&#39;m   a   little   bit   of   a   heavier   personality   and   I   know   that   about   myself .   But   at   the   same   time ,   if   you   go   way   back ,   like   our   son   Kenny ,   like   naturally   I&#39;m   kind   of   jovial   too .   Naturally   I&#39;m   kind   of   like   a   carefree   kind   of   person ,   naturally .   And   so   what   I   found   out   is   that   I&#39;m   naturally   a   carefree ,   lighthearted ,   joyous ,   nonjudgmental   person .   But   as   I&#39;ve   aged   and   as   I&#39;ve   taken   on   more   responsibility ,   more   success ,   more   challenges ,   I&#39;ve   stepped   into   seasons   where   I   have   tons   of   weight   and   seriousness   to   my   personality ,   and   so   my   default   is   to   go   serious .   

      </p>

        <cite>Speaker 1</cite>
      <time>3:53</time>
      <p>
          But   what   I   found   out   is   that   I&#39;m   a   better   me   and   more   like   Jesus   if   I   walk   in   the   joy   of   the   Lord ,   which   is   my   strength ,   and   I   cast   all   of   my   cares   towards   him .   And   so   I   have   to   be   very   intentional ,   not   to   go   towards   my   default ,   but   to   be   intentional   with   making   sure   that

      <p>
            I   bring   encouragement   into   every   environment   that   I&#39;m   in .   Like   this   morning   I   came   in   and   I&#39;m   like   I&#39;m   going   to   go   in   and   I&#39;m   just   going   to   say   hello   to   everybody ,   I&#39;m   going   to   let   them   know   how   important   they   are ,   so   forth   and   so   on ,   and   you   can   just   see   people   just   lighten   up ,   like ,   oh   my   God ,   I   have   the   ability   to   create   that   kind   of   atmosphere   and   I   believe   other   people   have   that   as   well .   

      </p>

        <cite>Speaker 2</cite>
      <time>4:26</time>
      <p>
          Yeah ,   absolutely .   I   think   just   in   different   roles   that   we   play   in   life ,   we   have   different   expectations   and   so ,   like   you   as   a   leader ,   yeah ,   when   you   walk   in   the   room ,   people   are   excited   to   see   you   because   they&#39;re   like ,   oh   wow ,   there&#39;s   Pastor   Ken .   They&#39;re   excited   to   see   you ,   whether   they&#39;re   an   employer   or   anyone .   But   now   if   you   come   in   and   you   do   something   other   than   encourage   and   you   bring   something   negative ,   oh   that&#39;s   a   big   letdown .   I   deflate   and   beat   them   up .   It&#39;s   a   big   letdown   and   I   don&#39;t   want   to   be   that .   But   also   as   a   father ,   when   the   kids   come   in ,   they&#39;re   happy   to   see   you .   If   you   come   in   and   bring   something   negative ,   it&#39;s   a   big   letdown .   

      </p>

        <cite>Speaker 1</cite>
      <time>5:03</time>
      <p>
          Are   they   happy   to   see   me ?   They   act   like   they&#39;re   not .   

      </p>

        <cite>Speaker 2</cite>
      <time>5:05</time>
      <p>
          You   know ,   I   understand   what   you&#39;re   saying ,   but   no ,   they   aren&#39;t .   I&#39;ve   read   the   statistics   and   I&#39;ve   heard   people   you   know   that   are ,   like ,   you   know ,   18 ,   19 .   Yeah ,   don&#39;t ,   you   know ,   don&#39;t   give   up ,   they&#39;re   listening ,   they   understand .   So ,   yeah ,   but   I&#39;m   just   trying   to   point   out   that ,   yeah ,   when   you   are   negative ,   it   really   brings   down   the   whole   room ,   it   brings   down   people .   But   I&#39;m   saying   that   also   to   accentuate   when   you&#39;re   positive ,   it   does   so   much   more .   I   mean ,   people   need   sunshine ,   people   need   a   smile .   

      </p>

        <cite>Speaker 2</cite>
      <time>5:36</time>
      <p>
          You   know ,   the   key   into   being   a   CEO ,   a   chief   encouragement   officer ,   is   that   in   order   to   stay   steady   in   it ,   you   have   to   remember   to   encourage   yourself   as   well ,   because   if   you&#39;re   not   first   encouraged ,   you   can&#39;t   encourage   other   people .   And   I   think   in   your   life   there&#39;s   so   many   things   I   mean   with   our   kids ,   you   know ,   teenagers ,   college ,   high   school ,   middle   school ,   all   of   that   stuff ,   the   businesses   that   we   do ,   the   ministry   that&#39;s   going   on ,   all   of   these   things .   There&#39;s   so   much   I   see   you   take   on   and   handle   in   a   day   that   it&#39;s   easy   to   feel   discouraged   Like ,   oh   man ,   I   didn&#39;t   get   to   do   this   or   that   or   the   other ,   or   maybe   you   wanted   to   encourage   more ,   but   you   are   doing   it .   You   have   to   remember ,   at   the   end   of   the   day   to   encourage   yourself   and   I   think   that&#39;s   biblical   as   well   to   build   yourself   up   in   your   most   holy   faith .   

      </p>

        <cite>Speaker 1</cite>
      <time>6:29</time>
      <p>
          Yeah ,   I   would   give   a   definition   for   encouragement   to   our   audience .   

      </p>

        <cite>Speaker 1</cite>
      <time>6:30</time>
      <p>
          It   is   the   action   of   giving   someone   support   confidence   or   hope ,   the   action   of   giving   someone   support ,   confidence   or   hope .   My   second   definition   would   be   to   inspire   with   courage   or   the   spirit   of   hope ,   and   so   they&#39;re   synonymous   words   with   encouragement ,   words   like   inspiration ,   reassurance   and   support .   And   so   if   you   say   I   want   to   be   a   CEO ,   you&#39;re   saying   that   I   want   to   be   an   inspirational   person ,   I   want   to   give   people   reassurance   and   I   want   to   give   them   support .   And   if   you   want   to   be   a   CEO   of   your   home ,   it&#39;s   saying   that   I   want   to   give   my   wife   reassurance ,   I   want   to   give   my   wife   support   and   I   want   to   inspire   her .   Or   vice   versa ,   I   want   to   give   my   husband   reassurance ,   I   want   to   give   my   wife   support   and   I   want   to   inspire   her .   Or   vice   versa ,   I   want   to   give   my   husband   reassurance ,   Okay ,   and   that&#39;s   how   you   become   a   CEO   of   the   home .   And   for   me ,   to   be   a   CEO   of   the   home   is   like   a   personal   decision   that   you   get   a   revelation   on   the   power   of   your   positivity   or   the   power   of   your   encouragement .

        <cite>Speaker 1</cite>

      <p>
          You   know ,   I   read   a   book   and   I   would .   I   would   really   recommend   especially   business   people   and   people   that   are   supervisor .   But   I   would   really   recommend   especially   business   people   and   people   that   are   supervisor .   It&#39;s   called   the   Energy   Bus   by   John   Gordon .   John   Gordon   is   a   believer   and   he&#39;s   in   the   business   world   but   he   talks   about .   It&#39;s   a   fable   about   a   man   who   feels   like   giving   up   on   his   marriage ,   giving   up   on   his   career   and   everything   because   things   just   aren&#39;t   going   his   way .   And   he   gets   on   a   bus   and   the   bus   driver   teaches   him   10   principles   of   having   the   right   kind   of   energy .   

      </p>

        <cite>Speaker 1</cite>
      <time>7:45</time>
      <p>
          And   I   see   that   in   my   staff   and   in   my   team   that   sometimes   people   go   through   things   and   they   come   to   the   office   with   the   wrong   energy .   They   just   go   through   life   and   they   go   home   with   the   wrong   energy   and   you&#39;re   sleeping   in   the   bed   besides   somebody   and   you   just   got   the   wrong   energy .   And   there&#39;s   just   something   about   becoming   a   chief   encouragement   officer   that   changes   the   wrong   energy .   And   so   here&#39;s   some   scripture   Okay ,   First   Thessalonians

            5.11 .   Tell   me   what   you   get   out   of   this .   It   says   Therefore ,   encourage   one   another   and   build   each   other   up   together ,   just   as ,   in   fact ,   you&#39;re   doing .   What   jumps   out   to   you   with   that ?   

      </p>

        <cite>Speaker 2</cite>
      <time>8:20</time>
      <p>
          I   think   it&#39;s   just   confirmation   that ,   like ,   yes ,   you   should   encourage .   The   fact   that   the   Bible   is   commanding   us   to   encourage   one   another   means   that   we   need   encouragement .   Like   okay ,   we   need   to   be   encouraged .   

      </p>

        <cite>Speaker 1</cite>
      <time>8:34</time>
      <p>
          What   it&#39;s   saying .   So   this   is   a   command ,   this   is   an   instruction .   The   opposite   would   be   would   discourage   each   other   and   tear   each   other   down ,   and   that&#39;s   actually   more   common   in   some   homes   than   the   opposite .   So   the   Bible   says   encourage   one   another ,   build   each   other   up .   1   Thessalonians   5   and   14, .   It   says   and   we   urge   you ,   brothers   and   sisters ,   warn   those   who   are   idle   and   disruptive ,   encourage   the   disheartened ,   help   the   weak   and   be   patient   with   everybody .   The   Bible&#39;s   given   us   this .   Oh   God ,   this   playbook ,   this   vibe ,   this   mantra   of   how   we   ought   to   be   as   the   salt   of   the   earth   and   the   light   of   the   world .   Proverbs   12   and   25, .   It   says   anxiety   weighs   down   the   heart ,   but   a   kind   word   cheers   it   up .   And   so   if   you&#39;re   a   married   person ,   what   would   happen ?   I   think ,   what   people   are   waiting   to   do ?   Well ,   he   got   to   talk   kind   to   me   before   I   talk   kind   to   him .

          Or   he   needs   to   encourage   me ,   or   she   needs   to   talk   kind   to   me .   Before   I   talk   kind   to   her ,   she   needs   to   encourage   me   first .   No ,   why   don&#39;t   you   sow   a   seed ?   See ,   a   lot   of   people   want   to   harvest   and   they   haven&#39;t   sowed   a   seed .   You   go   in   with   kind   words ,   no   matter   what   kind   of   words   they&#39;re   using   you   be   the   hero   in   the   home .   You   can   be   the   CEO   of   the   home .

          Yeah ,   we   have   to   understand .   I   mean ,   the   battle   is   not   against   flesh   and   blood ,   we&#39;re   not   fighting   each   other ,   we&#39;re   fighting   powers   and   principalities .   So ,   even   when   you   are   speaking   negative   words ,   if   there&#39;s   no   person   in   the   room   and   you&#39;re   speaking   negative   words ,   number   one ,   you&#39;re   influencing   yourself   because   you   hear   these   negative   words ,   and   number   two ,   you&#39;re   influencing   the   spirit   realm .   Number   three ,   you&#39;re   influencing   your   environment .   So   those   negative   words ,   if   you   were   in   a   room   by   yourself   all   day   long   speaking   bad   words ,   bad   words ,   bad   words ,   and   someone   else   were   to   walk   in   that   room ,   do   you   know   what   they   would   feel ?

          Bad ,   just   bad .   They   would   feel   a   dark   cloud ,   they   would   feel   negative   energy ,   because   that&#39;s   the   power   that   you   have   in   your   words ,   for   God   said   let   there   be   light ,   and   there   was   light .   There   is   life   and   death   in   the   power   of   your   tongue .   But   if   you   start   speaking   life ,   the   opposite   of   what   I   said   would   happen .   People   walk   in   the   room   and   say   I   just   feel   good ,   man ,   I   was   having   a   bad   day ,   but   I   just   feel   good   right   now .

          There&#39;s   power   and   people   say   that   all   the   time   in   our   church .   Just   something   about   the   atmosphere .   It&#39;s   just   people   loving   people ,   encouraging   people ,   prophesying   over   people   and   that   can   happen   in   our   homes   and   in   our   marriages   as   well .

          Romans   15   and   two .   Here&#39;s   a   command   that   says   each   of   us   should   please   our   neighbors   for   their   good ,   to   build   them   up .   We   should   actually   please   our   neighbors   for   their   good   and   build   them   up .   Build   them   up ,   not   tear   them   down ,   but   build   them   up .   That   means   that&#39;s   what   it   means   to   be   a   CEO .   Proverbs   29 ,   21   and   nine .

          It   says   it&#39;s   better   to   live   on   a   corner   of   a   roof   then   share   a   house   with   a   quarrelsome   wife .   Proverbs   21   and   19, .   It   says   it&#39;s   better   to   live   in   a   desert   than   with   a   quarrelsome   and   nagging   wife .   Proverbs   27 ,   15   says   a   quarrelsome   wife   is   like   the   dripping   of   a   leaky   roof   in   a   rainstorm .

          Proverbs   25   and   24   says   it&#39;s   better   to   live   on   a   corner   of   the   roof   than   share   a   house   with   a   quarrelsome   wife .   I   got   questions .   Proverbs   19   and   13   says   a   foolish   child   is   a   father&#39;s   ruin   and   a   quarrelsome   wife   is   like   the   constant   dripping   of   a   leaky   roof .   Proverbs   14   and   one   says   that   the   wise   woman   builds   her   house ,   but   with   her   own   hands   the   foolish   one   tears   her   down .

          Now   Proverbs   is   written   by   Solomon .   Solomon ,   he   got   some   issues   here   with   his   wives ,   but   there&#39;s   some   things   happening   here   and   like   it&#39;s   all   between   Proverbs   14   and   Proverbs   17 .   So ,   within   about   10   or   so   chapters ,   13   chapters   of   the   Bible   you&#39;re   hearing   this   common   thing .   I   got   questions .   I   got   questions ,   like   you   know .   Why   is   this   pointed   towards   a   woman   more   than   a   man ?   Is   that   like   a   temptation   for   more   wives ?   What&#39;s   going   on   with   King   Solomon ?   Was   this   like   a   big   deal   for   him ?   Is   it   a   big   deal   for   people   in   different   houses   around   the   world   today ?   What   is ?

          your   thoughts   about   this .   I   just   think   it   speaks   to   the   power   of   a   woman .   I   think   it   speaks   to   the   power   of   her   words   and   her   role   as   a   wife   in   the   house   that   if   she   is   the   CEO ,   she   sets   the   atmosphere ,   she   sets   the   tone   of   the   house .   And   so   I   personally   think   that   a   woman   runs   that   house   If   it&#39;s   happy   spouse ,   happy   house ,   where   the   man   is   the   head   of   the   house ,   truly   indeed .   

      </p>

        <cite>Speaker 2</cite>
      <time>12:49</time>
      <p>
          But   if   that   woman   has   a   stank   attitude ,   if   that   woman   isn&#39;t   submissive ,   if   that   woman   doesn&#39;t   care ,   that   house   is   going   to   be   just ,   is   not   going   to   be   a   good   atmosphere   there .   It   doesn&#39;t   matter   what   the   man&#39;s   doing .   If   the   woman   doesn&#39;t   want   to   be   just   is   not   going   to   be   a   good   atmosphere   there .   It   doesn&#39;t   matter   what   the   man&#39;s   doing .   If   the   woman   doesn&#39;t   want   to   be   happy ,   she&#39;s   not   going   to   be   happy .   So   therefore ,   she   controls   what&#39;s   going   on   in   that   marriage .   She   controls   what&#39;s   going   on   in   that   house .   However ,   if   that   woman   is   a   woman   of   God   and   submits   her   character   and   submits   her   attitude   and   submits   everything   to   God   and   his   word ,   well ,   she   will   be   submitted   to   her   household ,   she   will   be   submitted   to   her   husband   and   that   house   will   be   loving .   It   will   be   kind ,   it   will   be   an   encouraging   atmosphere .

          Can   I   stop   you   right   there ?   Can   you   look   right   into ?   That   camera   and   just   prophesy   over   a   woman   who&#39;s   been   called   to   be   a   CEO   but   there&#39;s   been   some   things   that&#39;s   been   holding   her   back .   Can   you   just   speak   into   that   potential ?

It&#39;s   just   like   strings   and   strings   tangled   all   around   you   and   you&#39;re   frustrated .   You&#39;ve   been   deceived ,   you&#39;ve   been   listening   to   lies ,   but   you   know   what ?   I   think ?

          That   through   this   podcast ,   god   is   empowering   you   right   now   to   be   able   to   break   all   of   those   lies ,   to   break   all   of   those   strings ,   to   break   free   of   all   of   the   things   that   have   bound   you   to   this   spirit   of   negativity   that   you   have   been   saying   things   out   of   your   mouth .   You   don&#39;t   want   to   say   it ,   you   don&#39;t   like   to   say   it ,   you   hate   being   positive ,   but   you&#39;ve   been   feeling   like   you   were   trapped   and   I   don&#39;t   know   what   to   do .   You   start ,   you   just   get   mad   and   you   just   go   off .   No   more .

          In   the   name   of   Jesus ,   there   is   a   way   out .   God   is   able   to   break   those   bondages ,   he&#39;s   able   to   break   wrong   mindsets   and   it&#39;s   all   going   through   your   faith   right   now   and   your   ability   and   willingness   to   submit   to   God   and   say   God ,   I   submit   my   ways ,   I   let   go   of   my   ways   and   I   want   your   ways .   Father ,   help   me   to   speak   the   words   that   you   want   me   to   say ,   help   me   to   calm   down ,   help   me   to   hear   my   spouse   and   hear   my   children   and   hear   my   loved   ones   and   respond   with   a   loving   heart   and   not   out   of   retaliation .

          and   I   also   see   a   man   who   just   you&#39;ve   almost   given   up   on   life .   You   know   that   you&#39;ve   been   called   to   be   the   head ,   but   you   haven&#39;t   been   being   the   head ,   you   haven&#39;t   been   leading ,   and   I   believe   that   God ,   there&#39;s   a   sleeping   giant   on   the   inside   of   you   that&#39;s   been   sleeping   and   God   is   causing   him   to   awaken   again   and   I   want   to   speak   over   your   potential   man   of   God .   It&#39;s   time   for   you   to   arise   and   it&#39;s   time   for   you   to   awaken ,   and   I   just   want   to   pray   for   those   men   right   now .   I   want   to   prophesy   over   you ,   because   you&#39;ve   been   feeling   like   man   I   have   a   lot   of   weight   on   me   and   you   feel   like ,   can   you   go   on ?   Can   you   carry   it ?   And   it&#39;s   been   hard   for   you   to   be   CEO   because   you&#39;ve   been   so   down   in   the   dumps   about   where   your   life   is .   But   I   want   you   to   know   that   your   best   days   are   still   out   in   front   of   you   and   you   don&#39;t   let   the   world   to   define   what   your   success   is .

          But   you&#39;re   giving   your   wife   the   crumbs .   You&#39;re   giving   her   your   leftovers .   You&#39;re   giving   God   your   crumbs .   You&#39;re   giving   God   your   leftovers .   And   God   is   saying   today   that   he   wants   to   be   your   first   love ,   he   wants   to   be   number   one   and   he   wants   your   wife   to   be   number   two .   After   your   business ,   after   your   success ,   after   your   portfolio ,   after   your   investment ,   he   wants   to   be   number   one .   He&#39;s   a   jealous   God   and   I   believe   that   if   you   can   make   up   your   mind   to   be   a   chief   encouragement   officer   over   a   chief   executive   officer ,   god&#39;s   going   to   begin   to   bless   you   as   you   begin   to   bless   all   of   the   people   that   are   around   you .
