When William Colgate’s first business attempt failed, he refused to give up. William was only 16 when he left home with a small bag of belongings and a big dream. He had learned the soap and candle trade in his small village and headed to the city to open a business. But things did not turn out as planned. Rather than succeed, he failed. In that moment of despair, he turned to God to help him. After reading about Jacob’s vow in Genesis 28, he made a personal covenant—to honor God with the first tenth of every dollar he earned. It seemed simple, but it opened the door to supernatural increase.
At 19, while working in New York City, he tithed his first dollar. That same year, he started a modest soap business. As his profits grew, so did his giving—20%, 30%, eventually up to 90%. The more he gave, the more God increased him. His unwavering devotion, generosity, and deep reverence for God built not only a thriving global brand—Colgate-Palmolive—but a legacy of Kingdom impact. William remained humble, faithful, and active in church, supporting Bible translation and mission work.
The fear of the Lord births in us a sincere desire to please Him in all things. This posture unlocks divine protection, guidance, and provision. Psalm 25:12 says, “Who is the man who fears the Lord? Him shall He teach in the way He chooses.”
Reverence for God brings wisdom that distinguishes us. When we put God first—above profit, pressure, and personal gain—we align ourselves with Heaven’s agenda.
Divine backing isn’t reserved for a few; it’s available to those who will honor God. Those who revere God in secret will see Him reward them openly. Even in a dry season, those who fear the Lord will flourish. Proverbs 22:4 declares, “By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, and honour, and life.” If we will choose to walk in the fear of the Lord daily—honoring Him with our time, our decisions, and our resources—we will experience open heavens and divine help that no system or economy can explain.
This is the season to rise above the noise and fix your gaze on the One who rules above it all. Today, as you walk in fear of the Lord, expect His divine power to move mountains on your behalf and elevate you to enviable new heights of accomplishments.
PRAYER:
Lord, I thank You for causing me to truly break forth to glorious dimensions this year as I walk in obedience to Your Word. Surely, You are converting every breakdown into breakthrough and backing me with favor in Jesus’ Name.
