The Market Is Shifting... But God Still Owns It All

August 07, 20253 min read

In 2025, the marketplace is rapidly changing. From economic uncertainty to the rise of AI-powered entrepreneurship, the business world feels like it’s spinning faster than ever before. According to recent reports by Forbes and Bloomberg, small business closures have risen by over 20% due to inflation and cash flow shortages. At the same time, digital product sales and online education are expected to grow by over 16% in the next 12 months.

So, what does this mean for us — the entrepreneurs, the creators, the visionaries?

It means we must pivot with purpose. But more importantly, we must partner with God in everything we do.

The State of Business Today

Here are a few current insights:

Small business loans are harder to get due to rising interest rates, leading many entrepreneurs to turn to self-funding or digital monetization strategies.

AI and automation have reduced operational costs, but also increased competition. Anyone with a laptop and a Wi-Fi signal can launch a brand overnight.

Consumers are more selective in their purchases, prioritizing trust, authenticity, and values over hype.

We’re not just in a digital age — we’re in a discernment age.

The world is seeking answers, and as believers in business, we have a responsibility to reflect the Kingdom, not just hustle for the culture.

What Does God Say About Business?

Let’s pause here.

Scripture reminds us:

“The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.” – Psalm 24:1

That includes your brand.

Your revenue.

Your audience.

Even your slow seasons.

When we recognize that God owns it all, we stop chasing trends and start stewarding purpose. Business becomes a form of worship — not just work.

“But remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you the ability to produce wealth.” – Deuteronomy 8:18

This verse is a divine blueprint for how we are to operate in today’s economy:

📌 Acknowledge Him.

📌 Obey His leading.

📌 Operate in excellence.

📌 Trust Him with the increase.

How to Move in the Market Without Moving Without God

If the market is shifting — shift with God. Here are 3 ways to do that today:

1. Get in Position Through Prayer and Planning

Before launching anything, bring it to God. Many are moving without clarity — don’t let strategy come before seeking.

2. Build with Vision, Not Just Virality

Everyone is chasing “what’s trending,” but God is giving you what’s timeless. Build something that lasts beyond algorithms.

3. Be a Steward, Not Just a Seller

Treat your audience like God’s people, not just dollar signs. When you serve with excellence and intention, the clients and contracts will come.

AskEmoni Word of Encouragement:

You don’t need to be afraid of what’s happening in the market.

You need to remember who owns it.

Your job is to build with boldness, brand with obedience, and bank with divine strategy.

You were never meant to do this alone. You’re a kingdom entrepreneur — and that comes with spiritual backing, supernatural supply, and a strategy that will never fail: God’s will.
