How to overcome the competition in your business... - EMEKA ANSLEM
Let me show you how to overcome the competition in your business...
Simple... Just love God back...
God's love for you got you this far, now you'd need to love Him back if you need to get results that are exclusive to you.
Believe me, it's not everybody that is feeling the competition, some people are just basking in prepared blessings.
1 Corinthians 2:9 made this clear ,"But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him".
So truly, the competition may be high, but God has a reserve for those that love him. And the amazing thing is, this reserve cannot be accessed by your eyes, your hears, or your mind, only love for God can access it.
Your competitors may have won all the clients they can see, hear or think, and it may be looking like there are no more customers to patronize you, don't be deceived, God has a reserve.
There are unrevealed prospects all over the world who are looking for who they can trust to supply or provide the service you render. These are people that God loves, they wait on the Lord for direction before they commit anything to anyone, and God will not give you a connection with such people except He has proven your love. He loves you, but He wouldn't want you to disappoint those that love Him.
This is the law of seedtime and harvest. The bible even warns us not to be deceived, whatsoever a man sows, that's what He'd reap.
If all you've sown to get a customer is your intelligence, you'd have to join the competition. Your intelligence cannot give you what loving God can give you.
I laugh when I hear ladies say they want to marry a man that loves God, yet they never reciprocate God's love. If God gives them such a person, they'd suffer him, and God would not want you to suffer those that love Him. So if you want to marry a man that loves God, you have to love God too. How would you even know a man that loves God if you don't love God yourself.
The criteria that God uses to matchmake people is love for Him. Before they even begin to gather emotions for each other, God will tell them to get married. There are people who married a total stranger, yet they've never had issues in their marriage. If the only thing you and your spouse have in common is love for God, please get married, quick.
The acid test of love is giving. This is why the bible encourages Christians to be givers. God proved His love by giving us His son, what would you give to Him to prove your love for him?
Many believers have no issues giving their time to God, but when it comes to money, they begin to debate it. That debate is why you still struggle in business.
Give tithe; you'd make excuses that Jesus has become our tithe. Give offering, you'd tell us that God does not need anything from us. Well, you may be correct, but God didn't also need Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, it was all to strengthen Abraham's love for Him.
Everything that God has ever given to us is primarily to prove our love for Him. Unfortunately, many Christians are too materialistic, they'd rather stab their relationship with God then let their resources go.
Compare your love for God from when you were just a youth and now that you're married with children. Is it still the same? Has it grown hotter or waxed cold? If cold, what caused it? I know, you began to set your affections on things on earth and not things above.
How could God trust Abraham to father many nations if he couldn't release one son to God? How will God trust you with bigger business deals if He can't trust you with ten percent tithe from the profits of the businesses He previously gave you.
The reason why we give and even increase our givings isn't necessarily to receive, it's to train our hearts to walk in love. Give to God, give to the poor, give to your parents, give at every opportunity, support kingdom projects. If your generosity is only known internally, then you're selfish.
This is a principle I've consciously practiced for the last 6 years, and I've seen the trend of transformation in my life.
Some of the articles I've posted for free are depths that some writers would rather put in a book to sell. But no, I understand better, freely was I given, so freely I give, it's not a property.
Amazingly, I've authored over 50 ebooks and some of you don't even know. Those who hold back revelation for a book can't achieve that kind of feat in a short time. I remember writing 27 of those books in one year.
So now you wonder where I get the inspirations from, I don't hold back. "There is he that scattereth and yet receives, but there's he that withholds more than he needs and yet turns to poverty". That's the explanation to the poverty of many people.
I hope this has brought enlightenment to someone.
Remain ever blessed!
