Steve Harvey had a promise he made to God.
When he got his radio show, he didn’t forget who gave him the opportunity.
He made the first 12 minutes of his show about God. Not money. Not ratings. Not himself. God.
Every morning, before the jokes, the interviews and everything else, he would use that time to talk about the power of God, prayer, faith, grace and mercy.
Think about that for a minute.
God gives you a platform, and instead of using all of it to promote yourself, you give Him the first part of it.
That’s powerful.
Steve has said, “I don’t want to be just known as a guy who was funny. I want to be known as an impact person.”
And that’s exactly the kind of mindset we need.
Because your platform may not be a radio show.
Maybe it’s a locker room. Maybe it’s your business. Your classroom. Your family. Your gym. Your social media. Maybe it’s simply the people you come in contact with every day.
The question is, what are you doing with the platform God gave you?
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.”
Colossians 3:23
Steve has continued to talk about needing a real relationship with God, saying, “Without a relationship with God, this thing called life is daunting at times.”
That’s the message.
Don’t just ask God to bless your platform.
Ask Him to use it.
Don’t just ask Him for success.
Ask Him what He wants you to do with the success.
And don’t wait until you have a million followers, a championship, a big business or a radio show.
Start with whatever He’s already put in your hands.
Give God the first part.
Give God the best part.
And give God the glory.
