God gives each person free will and sometimes your earthly authorities will withhold promotions that could well be yours. While you may be right to believe that your excellent work effort and quality ought to be appreciated in the form of an acceptable promotion into greater responsibility, ministry, and/or pay, you might actually be wrong in your assumption of who will and should appreciate it and what promotions or pay increases will come from it and when they should come.
You must remember that God has a master plan for your life and He is more pleased and you have more peace and joy when you follow it. Recognize that the greatest thing to be obtained by working hard as unto the LORD and being a good steward over the resources He’s given you is that you build treasures in Heaven that you have access to when you need them or when God desires to give them to you.
Sometimes, people are promoted by God but fail to see that they are promoted because they have not received a worldly symbol of success from the authority they serve under, such as another title or pay increase. Yet, a deeper look shows that God has given you everything you need to be a better steward of the income and resources that come into your hands in order to allow them and your influence to grow immensely.
Every person committed to working hard as unto the LORD that uses biblical money management principles throughout their lives will be promoted to greater responsibility in His kingdom and will build wealth in a manner that pleases Him and will increase their influence through serving and giving.
Do not let people's failures to promote you strip you of peace and joy. Just realize that God moves the heart of the leader like rivers of water, He promotes and takes down, and in His due time for your blessing or reward it is delivered to you. Keep on working as unto the Lord in all you do for he is the one you ultimately want to please.
Please pray for this ministry and email any questions. May God bless you richly as you follow His plan!!!
