Thank you for sharing your prayer request with us. We are here to stand in agreement with you in prayer and to provide biblical encouragement.
We read in the Bible that children are to obey and honor their parents and parents are instructed to bring up their children to follow God's commands. Wives and husbands are instructed to respect and honor one another in a similar manner. There should be love in the household. Do the members of your family truly know and strive to obey Jesus Christ as Lord and savior? Do they study the bible and follow its teachings. If any do not then they are out of fellowship with Him and therefore God the Father. Your obedience and relationship with Christ will positively influence your family. But remember if we do not love Jesus Christ then we are called haters of God and antichrists. But if we obey Him He and the Father will make their home in our hearts and lives. He will honor those who honor Him. In fact those that do not honor the Son do not honor the Father.
God desires for families to be blessed and to thrive in all areas of life, including family bonds and business ventures. When we first do things His way then success is much easier to obtain. In the Bible, WEB, it says the following about His promises:
Isaiah 55:11
So shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth it shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing I sent it to do.
Your "expo" is probably a place that you want many people to attend, interact, and see your wares and display. A large crowd should be present that will provide good sales or prospects and purchasing. However, if this is the emphasis of your expo you may need to reevaluate. If we put material items and profit above God we are just sowing seeds for our flesh and have left God out of the picture. Pray instead for a way to evangelize for His kingdom, bless others and to positively influence people in a Godly way during the expo. These are a list of ways that you may have this affect on people during the expo. Take free time to minister to individuals, form group prayer times, hand out tracts about the salvation message, use bible study and worship time, help those with some need and display a real concern and outreach to them. Some may only know the Bible in the historical sense, read it with them and open their hearts up to God's spirit. Seek to honor and glorify God first through your actions. If the expo gives you much needed income that is secondary, but be content with God's answer since He will meet your needs. Maybe share the following verses with some people or you may use it to display. But by all means follow it's instruction in Romans 1:16-17:
For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Christ, because it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes; for the Jew first, and also for the Greek. For in it is revealed God's righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, "But the righteous shall live by faith."
We stand in agreement for your family and for success in all aspects of life, but success should always include God. If you or your family lacks the needed faith, pray that this will increase and that it will flow and be energized by your love and His love. It is impossible to please Him without faith. We rebuke and will not ask for any prosperity without aligning ourselves with God and His priorities for our lives.
We have committed to praying for your family. First, that each member comes to salvation. Second, that each has a passion and love for Jesus Christ that flows through his or her heart. Then that His compassion and blessings are upon them. They be blessed and walk in his blessings according to His word.
Heavenly Father, we lift up this family to You, asking that You surround them with Your favor, love, and protection. We pray that each member of this family comes to You in salvation. We ask that you prosper them and help them according to your divine will. Help them be the blessings they need to be to those around them at the expo. They will fulfill every purpose and plan You have for them according to Your Word. Give them boldness to proclaim Your name Jesus Christ as needed. Let Your light shine through them during the expo and afterwards, drawing more to Your saving grace. Thank You that in Jesus' name, no weapon formed against them will prosper. Amen! In Jesus' name.
By having a love for Jesus Christ and submitting ourselves to His authority we please God and anything we ask for in Jesus name that lines up with His will will be ours to receive. The more people we are successful in leading to Christ then the more truly successful the expo was. Did anyone notice and recognize Jesus in your work during the expo?
