Seest thou a man diligent in his work, he
shall stand before kings and not mean men – Proverbs Chapter 22 verse 29.
Ideally,
everyone’s divine gift should create room for greatness and abundance for him
or her if deployed in the right environment and before the right persons who
would give the person mileage.
Therefore, always ask yourself if a relationship, task or utterance would take you to the divine purpose and plans of God for your life before investing quality time and resources in such relationships, task and utterances.
David was a
skilful musician yet he did not play just before anybody. He played musical
instruments before Saul and made the King happy. Though Saul became envious and
attempted to kill David while he was playing the instrument for him; the point
being made is that David played before kings and not insignificant people who
would not give him mileage.
David also took on
Goliath not only to deal with Goliath for insulting the army of God but also
for the attendant benefits. Please read 1st Samuel Chapter 17. David
did not challenge a mere street fighter, an inconsequential person to a street
fight. It was a fight for national honors on both sides where the winner was to
become a national hero, as well as a beneficiary of many things from the King
including becoming a son in-law of the King. Fortunately, David won the fight
against Goliath and earned great mileage – a national hero as well as many
other perks.
Joseph interpreted
the dreams of the servants of Pharaoh but was also careful to remind the butler
to remember him and recommend him to Pharaoh. Though the butler forgot, he was
forced to remember Joseph when the divine opportunity and timing for Joseph to
be celebrated came. Please read Genesis Chapters 41 for details.
Daniel was blessed
with the gift of wisdom as well as interpreting dreams. He did not deploy the
gift to nonsensical street fairs and jamborees. He deployed it for weightier
matters of state in the palace where he served.
That gave him unprecedented mileage as he eventually rose to the number
two position in the kingdom. Beloved, pearls should not be given to swine
Therefore, give
yourself mileage by associating with quality people and institutions – people and
institutions who are walking in divine purpose and divine timing. These are the
people who can give you mileage by acting as springboards or leverages to
divine positioning and timing in the plans and purposes of God for your life.
Potiphar could not have given Joseph mileage if Joseph had remained a minute
longer in his house beyond when Joseph was incarcerated. Joseph would have at
best remained head of the servants in Potiphar’s household and not the global
brand and household name he became after being introduced to Pharaoh by the
butler he met in prison and leveraged on his position and contact with Pharaoh
as a springboard to his dream of global leadership.
Avoid people who
are living out dead dreams just to give the impression that they are still
relevant whereas they should be in the museums for historical purposes. Such
people cannot give you mileage. What to do is to invest in quality
relationships which will give you the desired mileage that you urgently
require. Therefore, take advantage of the divine leverages you are blessed with
to give yourself mileage
