Never Misrepresent Your Product Mike Murdock Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. Romans 12:17 Liars are eventually exposed. It may take weeks or even months, but the truth always surfaces. He that covereth his sins shall not prosper (Proverbs 28:13). Anyone who does business with you wants the truth. The total truth. People fear misrepresentation. Jesus had the greatest product on earth: salvation. He offered the human race an opportunity to have a relationship with God. He spoke of heaven and angels. In my Fathers house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you (John 14:2). But, He never painted a distorted picture. He warned His disciples of persecution. But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues (Matthew 10:17). He spoke of their afflictions. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my names sake (Matthew 24:9). He spoke of loneliness. The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head (Matthew 8:20). Jesus believed in preparing people for any possible situation that could happen. He was honest. His teaching was far more than a pie in the sky philosophy. Wisdom Principle [Give another what he cannot find anywhere else, and he will keep returning.] Listen to the Apostle Paul. Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one. Thrice was I beaten with rods, once I was stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep (2 Corinthians 11:24, 25). This certainly does not sound like the most ideal sales talk to a group of students in Bible School. Paul did not misrepresent his product either. Jesus spoke to many people of the good things and the benefits of what He offered. But, He was also quick to talk to them about the total picture, so they would be prepared to face their trials. Address the benefits. Focus on the advantages that your product or your business will offer to another person. But never forget that an honest relationship is worth one hundred sales. Your integrity will always be remembered longer than your product. Jesus was honest. Prayer: Father, I ask You to help me develop and maintain a standard of truth and integrity. Strengthen me as I strive to be more like Jesus--sincere, honest and trustworthy. Thank You that You will uphold me as I reach for Your standards. In Jesus Name.
