You finally got it! That promotion you worked so hard for, or it may be that you didn’t earn or deserve it. Either way, you got it.
The first thing you want to do is make sure that it’s from God. But, how can you tell? It’s really very easy.
Here are 7 quick ways to tell whether your promotion or job is a blessing or a curse in disguise.
Make sure the expectations of your new duties don’t…
-
Make you behave contrary to God’s will.
-
Make your compromise God’s character and integrity.
-
Prevent you from attending regular worship service.
-
Force you to make a choice between your career/occupation and your calling.
-
Force you to be disrespectful to others
-
Force you to endorse, encourage or excuse ungodly lifestyles.
-
Did you pray about it first?
Number 7 is really big. I probably should have put it first, but it would have messed up my transition:-) How can God bless something that you didn’t pray about first? Making any decision, but especially big decisions without God is foolishly stepping out on your own.
Remember, no matter what your role, job title, or job description…you are God’s representative at work. You are His ambassador…
2 Corinthians 5:20(NKJV)
20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.
Even in an ungodly culture, God has sent you behind enemy lines to set the standard of behavior in the most difficult circumstances.
If God gave it to you…Congratulations!
If not, you would be better off with less money if it comes between you and God. And, any influence you may have lost in the world is multiplies in God’s Kingdom.
Mark 8:36-37 (NKJV)
36 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?37 Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
BE BLESSTIFIED.
BE BLESSTIFIED!
