James Lewis Kraft was an American Christian businessman and inventor who was the first to patent processed cheese.
In 1903, he began working as a partner in the Shefford Cheese Company in new York.. But one day, while he was away on a business trip to Chicago, his partners betrayed him by abruptly dissolving their partnership agreement. Left without financial support, James found himself almost stranded. He then used his remaining $65 to rent a horse and wagon and established his own business of buying cheese wholesale and selling it to local grocers.
James was a fervent Christian and a man of prayer. He recognized God as the senior partner in his new business. He realized that to succeed, he needed to ‘seek first the kingdom of God’ (Matthew 6:33). So he began giving 25 percent of his personal profits to the Lord in his offerings.
Soon he began to receive divine revelations on how to run his business, which gave him an edge over other competitors. A major breakthrough came in 1917, when the U.S. government gave him a contract to supply cheese to feed the U.S. armed forces. His company, Kraft Foods Inc., would eventually become the largest cheese company in the world. It was a multinational confectionery, food, and beverage conglomerate that marketed many brands in more than 170 countries.
The story of James Kraft shows that people may betray you or maltreat you, and difficulties may confront you, but as long as you stay dedicated to serving God, you will surely rise above the challenges and become distinguished in life.
Seeking God’s kingdom first is the master key to true success. Our depth of commitment to God determines our height of accomplishment 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.
Through divine help, this teenage king went forth, had victories in battles, and expanded greatly.
To experience breakthroughs and break forth to enviable heights, we must make a definite choice to serve God and be dedicated to His cause.
Truly, you cannot seek God first and come last. Therefore, if you have been experiencing stagnation in any area, perhaps you need a change of perspective. If you decide today to let God take first place in your endeavors and give Him the glory in all things, He will certainly change your story. When you give God your best, He’ll take care of the rest.
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.
God is a reward for those who diligently seek Him. As we dedicatedly pursue Him and seek first the promotion of His kingdom, surely, everything else shall be added unto us.
PRAYER: Lord, please help me to tirelessly pursue You and the advancement of Your kingdom. As I seek You first, I thank You for divine additions and exceptional breakthroughs in my life in Jesus’ Name.
