“Important People”

Have you ever noticed that people tend to act differently around those they think can do something for them – people who appear to have status, wealth or influence in life? I believe that the way we treat people is a test.


At times, God will bring people across your path that may seem insignificant. They may not appear to be able to do anything for you, but in reality, they are divinely linked to your destiny. They hold the key to your promotion and increase. Will you treat them with respect and honor even if you think they can’t do anything for you?


The bible says, “There is no power on earth that can make a person important. God is the judge. He decides who will be important. He lifts one person up and brings another down.” The truth is that the people we’re playing up to or trying to win their favor, even if they can open a door for us in the natural, they don’t necessarily hold the key to our destiny.


Because you see, promotion doesn’t come from them. Promotion comes from God. And God will use the most unlikely people to open doors of opportunity for you – a cashier or new neighbor, or maybe a seemingly unimportant person at work. Let’s pass the test and treat EVERYONE like God put them in our path, because He probably did. Remember, God is watching and promotion comes from Him.
