Work well done should be appreciated via promotions (generous raises, higher level positions, accolades, awards, etc.). However, your employer, volunteer organizations, and even leaders in the Church will not recognize your good work(s) at different times during your life. At some point, you will inevitably feel like you didn’t receive recognition or just compensation when you deserve it. This is a spiritual test of your character. Failure to receive it is an opportunity for you to display godly humility, patience, and love toward those who seem to have forgotten or passed over you. You will only display this type of character when you believe God is the author and finisher of your life and faith and that He will open doors of promotion that are specifically for you when you’re ready to handle the new level of responsibility.
In the mean-time and in between time and after you get each promotion, use biblical financial principles such as working hard, respecting authorities that supervise you, and completing assignments well and on time. This helps leaders see it is in everyone’s best interest to make higher-level opportunities and responsibilities available to you. This attitude and course of action also helps you build treasures in Heaven and on Earth in a manner that gives you access to them when God knows you need money and resources to complete steps toward your destiny.
Almighty God is totally reliable and has the master plan for your life. When you use His plan it produces peace, joy, and right-standing from which to receive even greater blessing and reward. Recognize this building block and order your life in such a way that you utilize it to move you ever forward. In the financial arena, using biblical money management principles is necessary to open the windows of His prosperity plan over your life. Keep this in mind as you do so, some people have been promoted but fail to recognize their promotion because it didn’t show up the way they wanted it, as more money, or as a more prestigious title and role.
Open your spiritual eyes to understand these are not the only ways in which the LORD can promote you. He is able to (a) promote you by causing people to give you things free you would otherwise have to pay for, (b) cause events to take place that can reduce your expenses, (c) put you in places and among people who can open doors for you, (d) bring about situations where it costs less than normal to conduct business / ministry, (e) etc. These scenarios give you more disposable income for ministry, charitable giving, and family care. Everyone committed to working as unto the LORD throughout life will see numerous promotions over time. So, don’t let satan blind you to the reality of your promotions and don’t be envious of promotions that others receive. Keep working faithfully & efficiently and He will surely promote you when the time is right.
