We establish efficient conditions guaranteeing that every solution of the problem
where \( \ell :C\left( {\left[ {a,b} \right];\mathbb{R}} \right) \to L\left( {\left[ {a,b} \right];\mathbb{R}} \right) \) and \( h:C\left( {\left[ {a,b} \right];\mathbb{R}} \right) \to \mathbb{R} \) are linear bounded operators, is nonpositive. The results obtained are very useful for the investigation of the question of solvability and unique solvability of nonlocal boundary-value problems for first-order functional differential equations in both linear and nonlinear cases.
