Godliness Ensures Promotion
Godliness pays
off! It’s profitable! It will ensure protection, and it will also ensure
promotion .When I talk about promotion, I’m not talking necessarily about
promotion according to the world. Yet, your promotion (or your profiting) shall
appear to all according to 1 Timothy
4:15. “All” means everyone in the world and everyone in the Church as well. All
means all!
Godliness ensures promotion, but you still
have work to do. Unfortunately, God has been unable to promote many people. He
wanted to bless and promote them. He wanted them to develop and grow. He wanted
their profiting to appear to all. But they didn’t apply themselves. They were
too lazy or slipshod.
When you live for God (and that includes
being diligent and hardworking), God will promote you. He’s on your side. He’s
not against you. Now if you just whittle away your time, it won’t work. But if
you apply yourself and believe God, He will promote you.
Notice
again our text that says godliness, or living for God, is profitable. It pays
to live for God.
