In the early 1900s, a determined young salesman named James L. Kraft arrived in Chicago with a dream to become the leading cheese distributor in America. Every dawn found him riding through the city, delivering cheese to small stores and hoping his long hours would eventually turn into success.
But instead of growth, Kraft experienced continual struggle. The harder he worked, the more frustrated and discouraged he became. One cold morning, exhausted and disheartened, he pulled his wagon over and sat still. As he reflected, a piercing realization struck him—he had been trying to build success without putting God first. He loved God, yet his priorities were out of order. That morning, Kraft bowed his head and made a covenant to put God in his affairs.
Thereafter, Kraft sought God in prayers before every major step and considered God the “Senior Partner” in his business. As he made these changes, innovative ideas began pouring into his mind. In 1916, he patented a groundbreaking method of pasteurizing cheese, making it stable enough to ship long distances. His company exploded into global distribution, eventually becoming one of the most successful food corporations in modern history.
James Kraft’s story proves a timeless truth: when God comes first, glory follows.
The Scripture tells us plainly that as long as Uzziah sought the Lord, God made him to prosper. Experiencing glory is not accidental—it is the predictable harvest of a life that continually seeks God first.
Many believers desire success, open doors, and supernatural breakthroughs, yet they begin their pursuit in the wrong place. Glory does not begin with effort; it begins with alignment. It is the man who puts God first who ends up first in life. Your depth in God determines the height you attain.
Seeking God first means His Word becomes the highest authority in our decisions. It means His agenda takes priority over our ambitions. It means prayer becomes our steering wheel, not our spare tire. When God is given His rightful place, He takes us to our high places.
Jesus said in Matthew 6:33, “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
“All these things” are divine additions that human effort cannot produce.
Today, as we intentionally prioritize God in our affairs, surely, His glory will overshadow every aspect of our lives and lift us to new heights of exploits, prosperity and global visibility.
PRAYER
Father, I thank You for the grace to seek You first in everything. Help me to prioritize Your Presence always. As I seek You wholeheartedly, let Your glory fill my life and crown my efforts this year with undeniable success. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
