God gave Solomon
very great wisdom and
understanding, and
knowledge as vast as the
sands of the seashore.
In fact, his wisdom
exceeded that of all
wise men of the East
and the wise of Egypt.
He was wiser than
anyone else ...
1 Kings 4:29-31
and promotion is usually the best way to do that.
However, what we do not recognise is the giver of
promotion. Who initiates promotion? It is the lack
of understanding of this that results into people
going to all kinds of lengths to get what they want.
Some would resort to lying about their experience
in their CV. Some would even go to the extent of
giving fraudulent professional qualifications. In
business however, the intensity is worse. One
would resort to any form or method possible to
ensure growth in revenue. God is the inititiator of
every promotion …
You need to be in a good standing with Him, as
well as seek the promotion from Him in order to
get the right one. The efforts you make with your
superior or your business are the efforts you need
to make seeking God and His guidance for your
growth and placement. When you use your own
efforts, or resort to fraudulent or false information
to get it, you are putting yourself at all sorts of risk.
You don’t even know if the promotion you are
chasing is the right one, or if it is the right time for
you to get it. God assesses you and equips you for
anything He is to bring into your life. Therefore,
whatever promotion He will deem you suitable for,
He will first assess and then prepare you for it so
that you do not struggle maintaining the position.
We see that Daniel’s promotion, even resulted to
his fellow Israelites also being promoted. We also
see them again in Daniel 3:30 being promoted for
refusing to worship the god of Nebuchadnezzar.
This happened with even kings in the bible e.g.
King Solomon or David, them being placed as
kings because of their loyalty to God. Therefore,
when you need promotion, be it for self or for your
business, put more of your efforts in seeking
God’s guidance and direction for it. He will give
you just the perfect one
