Tropicana Orange Juice - for exhortation

The testimony of Anthony Rossi, founder of the Tropicana Orange Juice.

When I was in Bible College, a tractor load of Tropicana Orange Juice was dropped off at the cafe every week. I wondered how a low cost Bible College could afford so much expensive orange juice.

One morning in the chapel, I found out how an older Italian man in broken English, gave his testimony. He said he had come to the US from Italy in the 20s as a teenager, with nothing but the clothes on his back.
A Christian couple befriended him and through their love, he came to know Christ as his Savior and Lord. 

One Sunday in church, he prayed: "Lord, if you give me an idea for a business, I will be faithful to give you a portion of everything I make to work"

That very morning, the idea of fresh squeezed orange juice popped into his head - and the rest is history: Anthony Rossi founded the Tropicana Co and has been faithful to give to God not just 10%but 50% of his income for God's work.

For the past 60 years! He also gave truckloads of free orange juice to Christians all over the country.

I want to give 3 challenges today to 3 groups of people:

Today I want to challenge you that if you are praying about doing a business, the first commitment you need to make is to God, to give Him a portion of your income. The idea of a business may not be in your mind yet but keep on praying and believing even as you make this commitment to God.

I am not saying that you give 50% but I am just challenging you to make the commitment to give Him the 10% as tithes.

Then pray and ask God to give you a good idea for a business.

The second challenge is to those already doing business. If you are experiencing some trying times, consider paying 10% of your income to God and walk into the miraculous.

The third challenge is to those who tell me that their current salary is not enough to cover food, petrol, car, toll etc. Consider giving to God 10% of your income before spending it on anything else and test God to see whether He will open a window of blessing for you
