2 Corinthians 4:1-2 (New International Version)
1Therefore, since through God’s mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart. 2Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
The apostle Paul here is rebuking the false preachers of his day. Many preachers were preaching for recognition and money as do many in this day.
Just as a preacher should remain in Truth when it comes to the word of God and not just preach what itching ears want to hear, we as professional networkers should do the same.
Tell them how it is. How it really is. Have you ever fluffed how easy your opportunity was knowing that it takes hard work and self-discipline? Have you ever exaggerated how fast you can make money but having yourself put in many months of low paid hard work?
Practically speaking if you present your opportunity in this way you tend to recruit people who don’t want to work that hard but make good money doing it. It just doesn’t work that way.
If God has called you to the ministry of network marketing, if the way people see your life is through how you promote, support, and work your business then you should do so in truth.
Just know that God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him, no good thing will he withhold from those who walk uprightly. If God has given you the vision for this business then he will definitely give you the provision, but that is if we walk in His strength and not our own.

Well said brotha! God bless.
“Just know that God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him, no good thing will he withhold from those who walk uprightly. ”
Not according to the Book of Job, especially if you don’t count the “happy ending” that was added centuries later by a second author. (Did my master’s thesis on Job and it happens that I’m living the life too…).
The whole truth! Very good stuff. How have you been doing brotha?
Well Paul I guess that depends on if only you’re looking for an earthly reward.
Matthew 5:11-13 (New International Version)
11″Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
