One day, a young businessman named Stanley Tam felt inspired to do something that was almost unheard of. He walked into the office of a lawyer and asked him to draw up papers transferring fifty-one percent of his company’s stock to the Lord Jesus Christ.
The lawyer thought that the young businessman had lost his mind! But Stanley Tam knew exactly what he was doing. As a fervent Christian, he had decided to set his affections on things above in a very practical way.
Stanley had learned by experience that as he “sought first the kingdom of God,” the Lord fulfilled His promise to provide his needs. Though he was already tithing his income, Stanley now wanted fifty-one percent of his company’s profits to go into the spreading of the Gospel.
At Stanley’s insistence, the lawyer drew up papers that legally recognized God as the primary shareholder of his company. Soon Stanley discovered that God could operate the business better than he could! The business that was struggling before then, now steadily prospered.
In 1955, Stanley wanted to do even more for the Kingdom of God. So he decided to turn over 100% of the profits to the Lord Jesus and then live on a salary as an “employee of God.” As a result of his giving, God blessed Stanley Tam exceedingly and abundantly.
Through him, millions of dollars went directly to advance the Gospel of Jesus Christ in seventy-five nations across the globe. Stanley Tam lived to be 108, before his death in 2023, he remained grateful that he set his affections on things above and invested his resources towards the spread of the Gospel.
Our depth of commitment in serving God will determine our height of success in life. 2 Chronicles 26, tells the story of King Uzziah who started reigning when he was only 16 years old. There were so many odds against him, but as long as he sought the Lord, God prospered him.
And so this teenage king went forth and had victory in battles and expanded greatly. To experience breakthroughs and breaking forth on every side, we must make a definite choice to serve God and be dedicated to His cause. Dedication is the mystery behind distinction.
How dedicated you are in serving God, determines how distinguished you will ever become in life. In Genesis 28:20–22, when Jacob covenanted to serve God with his life and income, God greatly blessed and distinguished him in his generation.
Certainly, God is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. In these last days, now is the time to focus more on pleasing God and pressing forward in our high calling of God in Christ Jesus [Philippians 3:13].
As we fervently pursue God and the promotion of His Kingdom, certainly He will open the Heaven over us and pour out to us overflowing blessings beyond our greatest imaginations.
PRAYER: Lord, please help me to maintain a lifestyle of tireless pursuit of advancing your kingdom. Certainly as I seek you first, every other thing shall be added unto me in Jesus’ Name.
