VALUES INCREASE COST

The price of a product is not always determined by its size, but by its worth. In the same way, though every life is valuable, the true measure of our cost is revealed by the quality of impact we make.

Bear in mind, our internal growth always precedes our external recognition; this is to say, it is our spiritual, mental, and professional development that positions us for influence, high impact, and ultimately fixes the value our world places on us.

See, it is not always true that people don't like you; they are invariably going after what they need that you haven't possessed or grown into.

Are you aware that even as a Christian, you can be ignored if your Christianity is not impactful, whereas an unbeliever playing an impactful role is drawn closer?. My prayer is that your life will count as one redeemed to shine.

Scripture said,

...in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;(Philippians 2:15).

The truth is, when you develop your life skillfully, spiritually, and intellectually, attention will be shifted to you because you have what is needed or required to solve problems.

It was not Pharaoh’s desire to love Joseph or to draw close to him, for they did not share the same faith or the same values. Yet, Pharaoh had no choice because Joseph held the solution to the problem Pharaoh desperately sought to solve.

This should remind us that sometimes favor and relevance are not dependent on relationships or likeness but on the worth of your input and insight.

Pharaoh said to Joseph,

Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has made all this known to you, there is no one so discerning and wise as you.

You shall be in charge of my palace, and all my people are to submit to your orders. Only with respect to the throne will I be greater than you.(Genesis 41:39-40 NIV).

When you develop or commit your skills in the business world through learning and training, the business world will recognize you.

When you commit to dedication in the things of the Spirit, those with spiritual needs, who need to handle life challenges in various areas of life, will seek your attention.

Scripture said,

Do you see a man skillful in his work? He will stand before kings; he will not stand before obscure men.” (Proverbs 22:29).

Bear in mind, when you develop yourself, your life gains a “high cost” in the marketplace of influence, because people and opportunities naturally gravitate toward what is valuable, not necessarily what is available.

Friends, if you neglect your gift, you will remain undervalued, but when you invest time, effort, and discipline into self-development, you become a person the world cannot ignore.

Lest you forget, when you align your efforts with God’s will, every hour of investment, every lesson learned, and every skill developed multiplies in value.

The scripture said,

“Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will succeed.”

Challenge yourself today to grow your physical and spiritual values, if you must remain relevant.

However, when you don't have Christ in you, you are not worth anything beneficial to yourself and the kingdom of God.

Therefore, I invite you to stay reconciled with Jesus by ensuring that you cut off from your old ways.

You can repeat after me,

Lord Jesus, I accept you as my personal Lord and Savior.

Please forgive my sins and write my name in the Lamb's book of Life.

Thank you for saving me.

I pray for you, may every effort you make in personal development multiply, as your excellence brings glory to God.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Words to Ponder: Value is becoming a solution to what others need but don't have. Maybe you have not been sought because it has not been found in you.
