What are you doing with your promotion?

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes

Peace and grace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ! By God’s mercy and love today we have been given another day.

We have been talking about how to earn God’s promotion. God wants to promote us; we just need to keep our hearts humble and follow His principles.

«Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share, storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life» (1 Timothy, 6:17-19).

Promotion is connected to the issue of wealth, and we are not talking just about money. Riches are more than money. Health, joy, good relationships, peace, rest, and love – those too are riches. Many people have lots of money, but they lack true riches. God tells us today not to be haughty and not trust in material things; we need to trust God alone. We should be generous and sociable. When problems come, God is the only One Who can help us. Trust God and do good works. By doing this, you will draw God’s attention and earn God’s promotion. But you and I need to understand this truth: when God exalts a person, He does not do it for him, but for other people whose needs he will be able to meet. We do not only live for ourselves. If after promotion you forget about the needs of others, then you do not deserve to keep that promotion.

When God chose Abram, He said that He will exalt Abram so that he would become a blessing for a multitude of people. It is very important what our attitude is towards the needs of those that are around us.

«And the Lord said, “Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren» (Luke, 22:31-32).

This verse tells us that God gave Peter an assignment to strengthen his brethren. By promoting Peter, God meant to help others around him. When God promotes you, you should pay attention to the people around you. People are praying for their needs to be met, and God answers them through those He has promoted and exalted.

What are you doing with your promotion? If your promotion does not help others to solve their problems and meet their needs, then this promotion will most likely go back to God.

Promotion from the Lord involves so many blessings that they are enough for you and also for a great many people God sends your way. Be a wise steward of God’s blessings in the season of your promotion. Always remember that promotion is not only for you, but is for others also whom God desires to bless through you and your promotion.

May God abundantly bless you this day!

Till tomorrow!

    The Bible also states that everything God does endures forever. Nobody is able to destroy or cancel what God makes and builds. For this reason nobody was able to harm Jesus before the appointed time, when Jesus Himself gave up His soul. Jesus was protected by God the Father because he followed the leading and the guidance of the Father.

    God gives to us gifts according to our ability, so He does not call us to do the thigs we are not able to. If God has asked you to do something, it is only because He knows you are able to do it. He won’t give you more than you are able to bear. Simply use what you have.I once read a story about a woman who built a school for the needy. Before she began this, a desire was born in her heart to do it. It became her dream that she was thinking of consistently. At that moment she did not have a thing: no textbooks, no teachers, no building, and no money. But she did have a tremendous desire to fulfil her dream.

By spending time with the one whom you love, you are giving or sharing with them part of your life.In order to earn money, you need time; in order to spend money, you need time. If you have money but do not have time to spend it, this money will not bring you any blessings. If you lose the money, you can earn it back tomorrow. But if you lose time, you are not getting it back!

    «His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord’» (Mathew, 25:23).Some people get tired and need help even before they start to do something significant. But tell me! Is it possible that you need rest or take a break from God? Is it possible that you need rest from serving Him? No! We can serve God everywhere. You can be on a plane and serve people who sit by you. You can serve God on a beach, at work, everywhere; because in all of these places there are people who need God.
