In this brief sermon, Blake R. Templeton addresses men who have experienced a business plateau after an initial decade of success. He argues that while they have built an "external kingdom"—their business—they have neglected the "internal kingdom"—their personal and family life. Citing 1 Timothy 3:4‑5, he emphasizes that managing one’s household well is a prerequisite for greater responsibility, including spiritual leadership. Templeton asserts that God only grants provisions and blessings that a person is proven capable of handling; once a person reaches a point where they cannot manage, God will withhold further blessings. The core message is that to receive more blessings, one must first earn God’s trust by faithfully leading their home.

Chapters

The most common thing I hear from guys who are struggling in their business is everything was great the first 10 years, and then I hit a plateau. What should I do? They were able to actually make great strides because they were building the external kingdom, but they forgot to actually build the internal kingdom. Check this out. 1 Timothy 3:4-5 says, he must be one who manages his own household well, keeping his children under control with dignity. But if a man does not know how to manage his own household, how will he take care of the church of God? The clear picture is this: God's only going to give you provisions and blessings that He knows you can actually handle. Once you get past that point where He knows you can't handle it anymore, He will not continue to give to you because He can't actually trust you. Want to receive more blessings from God? You got to be trusted by God.
