Samuel Moore Walton was an American business magnate best known for founding the retailers Walmart.
Sam was already 44 years old when he opened the first Walmart store in 1962. But through engaging divine help, he grew the business rapidly.
Sam Walton, was a devout Christian, who taught Sunday School for most of his adult life. Through God’s favour he was able to gain acceleration in his pursuits. Just 14 years after opening the first store, Wal-Mart became a publicly traded company with share value worth of $176 million. By the early 1990s, Wal-Mart’s stock worth had jumped to $45 billion. And in 1991 Wal-Mart had become America’s largest retailer.
Sam Walton was a tither and great philanthropist who supported many Christian causes during his lifetime. At his death he left an estimated $100 billion fortune to his wife and four children. However, he was such a strong believer in tithing that through several legal provisions on his trust funds he made it impossible for his descendants not to tithe on the revenues of his company and on their inheritance. And as a result of these legal provisions, today, all Waltons, not only tithe, but also give offerings from their inheritance.
Dedication to the cause of God’s kingdom undoubtedly leads to accelerated success in life. It doesn’t matter how late you may start any venture, through divine help, you can recover lost years and overtake even those who started before you.
In Joel 2, through disobedience to God, the Israelites had suffered setbacks and complete destruction of their entire harvest by swarms of locusts.
But as the nation turned in repentance to God, He promised them restoration and to make up for the lost years with overflow harvest.[Joel 2:24-25]
Truly, when we commit ourselves to sincerely serve God, He will bring a divinely accelerated overflow that will restore lost years back to us. When God’s hand comes upon a man, he experiences inexplicable speed in life’s race.
We saw in I Kings 18:46, how Elisha outran horses and chariots because of God’s hand that came upon him.
Likewise, in our lives God’s hand can suddenly pull the switch of favor and take us from the background to the foreground.
Hardwork and diligence are important and will take us up to a certain height in life, however, it will take divine acceleration to cause our cup to run over.
As you remain faithful in serving God, what should have taken you many years to accomplish, can happen in a sudden moment.
In this season, trust God to give you favour in the place of labour. Before the end of this year, may the touch of His favor push you into overflow and cause you to break forth to unprecedented levels of accomplishments in Jesus Name.
PRAYER: Lord, thank You for Your divine help. You are the God of miracles, signs and wonders and I know that even now You are working in my life and taking me to enviable heights of exploits in Jesus Name.
