Among the thousands of Europeans who flocked to America searching for greener pastures in the 1920s, was a young Italian immigrant named Anthony Rossi. At age 21, he arrived from Sicily with nothing but the clothes on his back. Unable to speak any English, without formal education, with no money or connections, the odds seemed stacked against him.
But his fortune changed when he received salvation and began to attend Church.
One Sunday in Church, Rossi prayed to God to give him an idea for a business, and promised to be faithful to give back a portion of the profit towards God’s work. After this prayer, he began to receive business ideas.
Within just a few years of arriving on America’s shores, Rossi began to run successful business including having taxicabs, a grocery store, a farm, a cafeteria, and a restaurant. As he had promised God, he faithfully gave 50% of his income to the work of the Gospel!
The most profound idea he received was the making of fresh orange juice. In the mid-1940s, Rossi took over a small orange juice company. Through innovation, creativity and tenacity, he transformed his company, Tropicana Products, Inc to eventually become the largest fresh-chilled orange juice company in the world. Anthony Rossi continued to faithfully give towards the expansion of God’s kingdom. He supported missions, church planting, and eventually established the Aurora Foundation which funded Christian educational institutions, missions, and other charities.
Truly, serving God and the interest of His Kingdom pays unmatchable benefits and results in a story of glory.
Serving God is serious business, and those who engage in it are lifted by God’s grace to great heights.
It is only the believers who refuse to serve diligently that fail to enjoy the profits of redemption because profiting is reserved for those passionately engaged in the Father’s business.[Luke 2:49].
Paul said in Romans 12:11 [KJV] “be not slothful in business, but fervent in spirit; serving the Lord”
We must refuse to be slothful or lazy towards the Father’s business so as to see guaranteed returns on our kingdom investment. God is truly committed in taking care of those who seek Him.
Psalms 34:10 says ‘The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.
The word ‘seek’ in the above scripture simply means ‘serve’. And Job 36:11 says: If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
Surely, you cannot place God first and come last in life. You can’t obey and serve Him sincerely and not end up blessed beyond measure.
Kingdom service positions us to enjoy the blessings that makes rich and add no sorrow with it.
It’s what causes our path to keep shining brighter and brighter and makes life to become better and better.
As we fervently serve God with all our heart, strength and might, surely, we are guaranteed irreversible blessings and greater dimensions of glory in all our pursuits.
PRAYER;
Father, please engrace me to passionately serve You and pursue Your business on earth. Enable me to always make the advancement of Your Kingdom my priority so that I do not miss the divine rewards ordained for me in Jesus Name. .
