Why I Do What I Do

Hey there, YouTube. Have you ever looked at somebody and wondered, why do they do what they do? Because I get a lot of really interesting comments. I wonder why he does that. And so I do something unique. But I guess everybody does. I talk about the Bible and business. I talk about the Bible and money and our relationship with it and with all of those things. And I talk about them connected. And people say, myron, I just love how you make the Bible relevant to business. I didn't make the Bible relevant to business. It was relevant to business before I got here. I just saw it, and that's what I talk about. But the reason I do that is because when I first came to Christ, when I was 16 years old, I had never read a book in my life other than a comic book or a karate book. And.

My friend who was also in high school said, now that you're saved, you need to start reading the Bible. I was horrified. I was like, you mean that big, thick book with little bitty words, two columns and no pictures? Yep, that one. And so I'm like, okay, I'm not gonna play with God. I'm in. So I'm gonna start reading this Bible. And I started reading the Bible, and I didn't read the new, easy to understand version of the Bible for illiterate teenagers. Nope, that's not the one I picked up. I picked up the King James version of the Bible, and I started reading it, and I started reading it, and it made perfect sense. Like, out of the gate. It just is. Like, I kept seeing, well, if you do this, then you can expect this, and if you do this, then you can expect that. If you do this, then you can expect that. And I saw it on all aspects of life. I saw it in my relationship with my brothers. I saw it in relationship with my parents. I saw what it told me to do with. In relationship to my friends, in my relationship to money. And I'd go to church, and I had been going to church my whole life, and I'd start reading the Bible. And I'm like, how come nobody's talking about this stuff? So. And I was. When I saw it, I'm like, how come nobody's talking about this stuff? And then, you know, I went off to Bible college. And then, you know, you learned. You learned how to do three points in a poem and. Or I learned how to do three points in a poem and. And. But I was still confused. Like, even I would find stuff in the Bible and then I would teach on it, I would preach on it, and I was like, how come nobody's talking about this stuff? I remember hearing sermons. I remember specifically, like hearing a sermon by one of. By my pastor back when I was 16, and he was preaching on, like, the dangers of wanting to be rich and the dangers of money and stuff. I was thinking to myself, like, okay, so what is rich? Because to me, he was rich, right? He had a brand new car, his wife had a nice car. They lived in a house nicer than anything I ever lived in my life. So at what point does leveling up become rich to me, in my mind, like, he was already. He wasn't rich, by the way, but he just. He wasn't. But he wasn't living where we were living, driving what we were driving. And so I was. I was confused. Like, like, what is the measurement? And we get a lot of comments. We get, well, Myron, you sound like one of those prosperity gospel preachers. Well, if you want to group and tag and like, anybody can group and tag. You can like, call somebody a name and disqualify all their perspectives if you want to, or you can maybe just think about it. And. And so, so when I started, when I became an entrepreneur because we're having a job wasn't cutting it for me because nobody ever wanted to pay me what I felt like I was worth keeping it real. And so I said, I'm gonna start a business. And guess what I learned? What most business owners. Owners learn. Business is hard. And I was terrible at it. And I was so bad that when I got started as an entrepreneur In 1985, somebody selling insurance and investments, it took me 18 months to make my first sale. I was terrible.

And I don't know when I woke up, maybe it was maybe and realized the Bible had something to do with business. Maybe it was when I read Wade Cook's book Business by B U Y the Bible. Maybe that was when I woke up. The Bible has stuff to say about business. And I started. Once I realized the Bible had stuff to say about business, I started looking for it. I said, well, what if I do it the way the Bible says do it? Maybe something will happen. And I began to see what happens when you apply the Bible to your business. Just like I did when I saw. When I applied it to every other aspect of my life and it worked so amazingly well, it blew me away. Then I found something in the Bible and I had never heard it preached on in my life. I had never heard anybody preach. I had never heard anybody teach on it. I found.

The business model of King Solomon, the wisest, wealthiest man who ever lived. Solomon, at the beginning of his life was yielded to God. God gave him wisdom so that there would be nobody like him before him and nobody like him after him. He said, because you prayed for this thing, I'm gonna make you the best of the best. You can forget about the rest. And Solomon became so rich, he was wiser and richer than all men. That's what the Bible says. He was richer and wiser than all men. Like, okay.

So how did he do it? And so I kept reading and sure enough, it laid out everything he did in his business in scripture, step by step. I said, I'm going to start doing that stuff. I'm just going to start doing that. I don't, I'm, I'm, I'm, I talk about first principles. I know all the business books, blah, blah, blah. If what they're saying lines up with what I'm reading here, I'll do it. If it doesn't, I'm not doing it. I started practicing King Solomon's business model, started working for me. I started teaching other people, started working to that for working for them. Next thing you know, next thing you know, we've got clients who are having $100,000 days. We're having clients that are having million dollar days, 6 million dollar days, 9 million dollar days, 11 million. Like what are you, what is this? King Solomon's business model works. And so, but the entire Bible works. God has the best content. I believe the Bible is the greatest practical instruction guide for life that has ever been written. And if we like, if we're looking for, if we're, if we're, if we're, if we're looking for more than a good feeling on Sunday morning for a couple of hours and we're actually looking for orders from headquarters for instructions for how to do this thing called life. It'll change everything. And so.

Like I remember when I probably memorized the verse when I was a kid, had no idea what I was saying, but seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness. And all these things shall I be added unto you. Well, what's really interesting about the Word, the verse, but seek ye first, the kingdom of God and his righteousness is the stuff that came before the Word. But he said, don't worry about what you're going to eat, don't worry about what you're going to drink, don't worry about what you're going to put on. Those are the things the gentiles seek. But seek ye first, the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added unto you. Okay, so now, I don't know what you do when you read that, but I got to know now. Okay, I'm supposed to seek the kingdom of God. What is it? If I don't know what the kingdom of God is and I'm looking for it, when I find it, how will I know I found it? If I don't know I found it, what's going to keep me from continuing to look for it? So I said, okay, I got to find out what this kingdom of God thing is. So I just study, study, study, study. And the kingdom of God is not like, there's not a verse that says, this is the kingdom of God. But when you see the promises and the principles and the patterns and the practices and the precepts and the prayers and the prophecies laid out in Scripture, what you see is, you see, oh, this is a template. And the kingdom of God is this. The word kingdom is a compound word which means king's dominion. So the kingdom of God starts with yielding your life to God as the sovereign king of your life. That's where the whole thing starts. And.

God paid the price for our sin by sending his son to die on the cross for our sins. Okay, cool. So if I say, that's nice, but I'm not gonna do it that way. I'm just gonna be a good person. I'm rejecting his way, and I'm not yielding to the king. I say, well, that's nice, but I'm not gonna do it that way. I'm just gonna be a good church attender. Okay, well, I'm saying I don't want you to accept. I'm not willing to accept what you did for me. I want you to accept what I'm gonna do for you. God says, that's not how this works. This ain't that. I did it, you receive it. That's all. Now, that's the first place yielding begins once we receive. Okay, I'm going to trust Christ's death, burial, and resurrection as the full payment for my sin. Now, how am I supposed to live? I'm supposed to get my instructions from the Bible on how to treat my wife, on how to treat my children, how to treat my friends, how to treat my enemies, how I should interact with every person on this earth, how I should. I get my instructions from there. So when I yield to God as the sovereign king of my life, and he rules over my life, I do things his way, not my way he makes me the king of an assignment. I love what Bishop Wayne Malcolm says. He says God wants to make you the king of your thing. And I added to that for you ladies. He wants you to make you the queen of your scene. Because God wants to take the people, his people, and turn us into royalty. That's the objective. That's the whole thing. The whole thing. The first thing God ever said to man, be fruitful, multiply, replenish the earth, subdue it and have dominion. What's dominion? Authority, rulership. What is man that thou art mindful of him, the son of man. Thou visits him, for thou has made him a little lower than the angels and has crowned him with glory and honor. If I am not a king, why do I need a crown? Because I'm supposed to be the king of my thing. You're supposed to be the queen of your scene. And when I am, when I'm yielded to God, God makes me the ruler over an assignment. And I rule that assignment with sovereign excellence. And then I use that assignment to serve the people. When I understand that, when I get that the money is a byproduct.

The money that I make in my life, the money my business makes is a byproduct of how my business serves people. The money that I get paid for my business is a byproduct of how we set up this business. The money that all the people on our team, it's all a byproduct.

Of seeking first the kingdom of God. Because that's what it says, isn't it? But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness. And what happens next, all those things will be added on you. All the stuff that you need. It's a bonus. So why I do what I do is because I believe the Bible is a practical guide, not just a book for us to get emotionally worked up about for a couple of hours on Sunday morning. But it's instructions. This is how I'm supposed. This is how I'm supposed to treat people who treat me bad. I'm supposed to treat people who treat me good. This is how I'm supposed to. This is how. This is how I'm supposed to behave when I'm in the presence of royalty.

It gives me all of the instructions, but I got to care enough to seek them out. Does that make sense to everybody? That's why I do what I do. I do what I do because this is my calling. This is my assignment. And I get that. Some of you don't get it to some of you. It doesn't make sense. Some of you watching on YouTube, all you've heard about the Bible your whole life is religion.

I wish you well on your journey, but I can't join you. I have to do this because this is what I see in scripture. And I know that most people don't understand what the Bible says about business, and they don't understand what the Bible says about money. And I am teaching them. And I'm going to teach what I see says. And I'm going to. I'm not just going. I'm not going to teach theory. I'm going to go see if it works. I'm going to go do it. I'm going to report back on the things that I've seen and heard. That's why I do what I do. I'm not on an assignment from you. I'm not on an assignment from a denomination. I'm not on an assignment from a college or a university. I'm on an assignment from God. I'm going to do my assignment and I don't have time to be distracted by what everybody else is doing and what's working and what's not working for them. So for those of you who are wondering why I do what I do the way I do it, that's why I do what I do the way I do it, I hope it blesses you. And the blessing that I hope that you get from it the most is this. I hope you find your lane and stay in that lane regardless of what anybody else is doing. Because you were made for a purpose and that purpose is great. And you're the only person who can get it done. Hope this blesses you. Share it with somebody if you feel so inclined, like it, comment and all that other YouTube stuff. In the meantime, in between time, peace out, Cub Scouts.
