Read : 1 Samuel 16:14-23
“Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; He shall not stand before mean men.” – Proverbs 22:29
If you want to be successful in this life, decide to be a blessing to others. This will unlock gates for blessings to flow into your life. The most successful people in the world have often played a vital role in someone else’s life. Perhaps they were doctors who saved the sick. Maybe they were pastors who ministered to the needs of the people. Perhaps they produced something that benefitted millions of people.
David’s value rapidly increased after he helped Saul in his time of demonic affliction. Whenever evil spirits came to torment Saul, David refreshed him by playing the harp and singing unto the Lord. He suddenly became useful to Saul and his kingdom. Are you useful to anyone? Your value rises with your usefulness!
There are some Christians who just say, “Give me, give me, and give me.” When are you going to start giving something? When are you going to be a blessing to somebody? Jesus is so valuable to all of us because he saved our souls by giving His life.
Take up your opportunity of counselling people and sharing the Word of God. I notice how people shy away from doing God’s work. They feel it will keep them away from succeeding in their secular field. What a mistake! They don’t realize that as they help others, they become more valuable to society. The more valuable you are, the more important you will be.
