1 Samuel 2:30 ‘for them that honor Me, I will honor, and they that despise Me shall be lightly esteemed.’

DAILY READING: Mark 14:32-72; 1 Kings 9; Hosea 11:1-11

Hilary Hinton “Zig” Ziglar was an author, and motivational speaker, who was well known around the world.
He began early in life to seek success.
In 1947, when he was 21years old, Ziglar began working as a salesman and also later ventured into motivational speaking.
But despite how hard he worked, he was constantly broke and in debt.
He continued to struggle financially until when he was 45 years old.
Then something happened that changed everything for him. Though he had been attending Church since he was young , yet he never really had a personal relationship with God.
But one day in 1972, an elderly black lady preached the Gospel to him in a new light. This resulted in Ziglar totally surrendering his life to Christ on July 4, 1972.
His new commitment to God, radically changed every facet of his life .Wherever he went, he spoke about his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
He didn’t just make his faith a personal matter, but made it the foundation of his business. He began using Biblical principles to teach success and integrated his Christian belief into his motivational work.
As he honored God, in return God also honored and blessed him in incredible ways. His career immediately exploded and many people began to flock to hear him. Before then, Ziglar had trouble getting speaking engagements, but after his salvation, he did not again solicit for a speaking engagement as his telephone kept ringing with people wanting to book him.
Ziglar went on to speak extensively to audiences around the world and authored over 30 books.He also funded many Christian causes during his lifetime.

If we want God to bless our business, then we must invite Him into it!
We must allow Him to use our business to do His business.

When Peter allowed Jesus to come into his fishing boat, and use it to preach to the crowd, it paid off!
Jesus worked a miracle of supernatural overflow that caused Peter’s boat to almost sink because of the abundance of fishes.
When Jesus is on board your boat, you’ll surely prosper. When He is part of your business, you will definitely succeed.
As Christians, our faith cannot be demarcated from our business or career, Christ has to be honored in everything we do.

God said in 1 Samuel 2:30, ‘For them that honour Me I will honour, and they that despise Me shall be lightly esteemed’.

To experience success, we need to make sure we are giving to God the honor due to Him. In our lives, homes, businesses, careers, and in everything, God must take the first place.
When we involve Him in our affairs, we are guaranteed success.

Isaiah 48:17 tells us that it is God that leads us and teaches us how to profit.

When God is involved in our business, He will guide us to always make the right decisions that lead to profitting..

And as God blesses us, we must be willing to promote the Father’s business by sowinng towards the spreading of the Gospel.
As we do, God will cause us to become a magnet for His goodness. The right people and right opportunities will be attracted to us.
The more we celebrate God, the more He will elevate us to higher positions in life.
Certainly, the place of God in our heart will determines our placing upon the earth.

PRAYER: Lord, please help me to honor You in every aspect of my life. Thank You Lord for leading me and teaching me how to profit in all my endeavors in Jesus Name.
