THE HARD TRUTH MARKETERS WON’T TELL YOU

Are you in business? I want to authoritatively reveal to you a hard truth that marketers will never tell you if you must succeed in business. That truth is centered on the Supreme Being - GOD. Do you believe in GOD?

Well, it is good you do, because without your believing in Him, the truth remains that He exists! Okay, if He exists, then what? In business God has the Power and the Influence over every Successful Businesses. As a matter of fact, I don't think any marketer would bother telling you about Him. Why? Because they are being too careful not to mix business with religion. I've a feeling they would be embarrassed if someone saw their students carrying Bible to the lecture room and commented: "Eh, what do we have here: a church or what?"

I don't know that for sure. But no matter what, I think every marketer is missing a huge opportunity to make greater impact on their clients/customers. The power and the influence of God in making any business where He is honored to grow and prosper is undeniable.

So it is a monumental mistake, in my carefully considered opinion, for any business, not least Internet/Online Marketing, to ignore this vital area of study. The Living God is the only One that can guarantee enduring success in business. Master Jesus said, "I am the Vine, ye are the branches: he that abideth in Me, I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without Me ye can do nothing" [John 15:5].

When an entrepreneur abides in God, and God's words abide in the entrepreneur, he can be rest assured that he will enjoy all the following benefits and more:

Salvation: "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life" [John 3:16].

Healing: "...if thou will diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in His sight, and wilt give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that healeth thee" [Exodus 15:26].

Bring forth fruits: "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful”. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in His flaw doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in season; his leaf also shall not wither; and I whatsoever he doeth shall prosper" [Psalm 1:1-3].

Steady supply: "But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus" - [Philippians4:19].

Protection: "There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone" [Psalm 91:10-12].

Increase: "I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase" [1 Corinthians 3:6] that He may establish His covenant which he swore unto thy fathers, as it is this day" [Deuteronomy 8: 18].

Sorrow-free riches: "The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it" [Proverbs 10:22].

Good success: "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success" [Joshua 1:8].

Yes, God does all these things and more. I know it and you should know it too. I'm a living proof! I've irrefutable evidence to prove it. And on the pages of this blog, you will discover what the Lord had done [and is doing] for me. For me to be alive and my business to be where it is today is the grace of God. Just as Master Jesus said, without my Father in heaven, I could of my own do nothing.

Each time the enemy came like the flood to overflow and wash me and my business away, the Spirit of the Lord was always showing up to deliver me by lifting a standard against him. Really, I think every business owner, and all marketers all over the world, should consider inculcating in their clients/customers the study of the part that God plays in the sustenance of business. The magnitude of the role God plays in business from start-up to maturity is so enormous than for it to go without acknowledgment. As the Psalmist say, "all glory must be unto God".

There this other thing I would like to inform you about. The thing is called: experience. The only place you can acquire experience is in the marketplace. That is where you can lay your hands on the original one. No amount of case studies can replace the practical, hands-on experience you'll get from the marketplace.

So let me sound a note of warning to you as you read this message. Bear it in mind that, like the tons of case studies that you will be loaded with, it's not meant to take the place of practical experience. I'm saying this here just to prepare your mind for the type of things you might encounter when you announce your arrival in the marketplace and take your position in any of the market segments.

As you will discover, your own experience might be totally different from mine. It doesn't really matter. What is most important is that you already know what lies ahead of you and you're prepared for it. It's not going to be a tea party. Be absolutely sure of that. So brace up yourself for hard work.

Now, every business owner and marketer is concerned with the word: HARDWORK. Well, that is good, but that without God is true FAILURE!
