The place of information management in accessing wealth,
prominence and prestige in the land is very strategic. The person or people you
share life transforming information designed to uplift you out of obscurity
into limelight; out of poverty into wealth; out of the ash heap and dust
positions of life to sit with royalty, with is very important. The Bible
instructs that anyone diligent in his or her work stands before Kings and not
unknown people. It is therefore important that you identify significant people;
either kings or people highly connected to Kings to share such information
with.
The four lepers who sat at the entrance gates of Samaria received
the good news first because they responded to the promptings of the Holy Spirit
speedily so they were the first to know that the siege was over and there was
abundance in the land as prophesied by Elisha. After helping themselves to the
bounties of siege and a war they could never have fought in even if they
volunteered to, they shared the information with the King and his court and by
extension, the people of Samaria. The lepers did not labor for their wealth.
Access to the right information and being at the right place at the right time paved
the way to the wealth the lepers accessed. In essence, they inherited the hard
and maybe smart labor as well as wealth of other people. Significantly, they
were careful who they shared the information with. They ensured that the
information got to the King but not after they had used the information to
better their lot. Rather than rush off to inform the King or the people of the
city of Samaria when they first got to the camp, they kept the information to
themselves and helped themselves to great booties before sharing the privileged
information with other people.
Beloved, you can also access the right information by the
Spirit of God. Access to the right information by the Spirit of God is also God’s
way of empowering His children to get wealth.
The biblical Joseph interpreted the dreams of the baker and
the butler; people who were well connected to Pharaoh; who had the ears of
Pharaoh; who had direct access to the King and could recommend him and his
services to the King. That was eventually what happened when Pharaoh had his
troubling dreams which all the wise men and magicians of Egypt could not
interpret. The butler recommended Joseph to Pharaoh and the moment the
connection was made, Joseph by the grace of God was at his optimal best and
impressed Pharaoh and his court beyond their wildest imagination. Joseph stood
before a great king and other significant members of the court and on the same
day, Joseph was divinely promoted from prisoner to Prime Minster.
Beloved, pray that God in His infinite mercies will help you
to always stand before kings and significant people so that by His Spirit, He
will seat you among princes in the land. Please read 1st Samuel
Chapter 2 verses 7 to 8, psalm 113 verses 7 to 8.
Can you imagine what would have happened to Joseph if he
shared the information with someone else? That person would have taken the
glory which rightly belonged to Joseph and Joseph would have probably remained
in prison for the rest of his life. Beloved, what you do with the life
transforming information God blessed you with either makes or mar your chances
to the top. If you share the information with right people, you are made. But if
you share the information with the wrong people, you remain at ground zero. I
pray that will not be your portion in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
Mordecai was strategic in sharing the information about
Bigthan and Teresh’s plot to kill the King. Mordecai shared the information
with his cousin, Esther, who was also queen to the King. Esther would
definitely not betray Mordecai to anyone in the kingdom. Secondly Esther was
not only the wife of the King but queen in the land. She could only remain
queen as long as her husband the King was alive. So the last thing Esther would
want was for anyone to kill her husband. Thirdly, Esther had access to the King
and would inform him immediately about the plot. This was very strategic as it
helped to take Mordecai to the number two position in the land. Mordecai no
longer stood or sat with the insignificant and unknown people in the outer
areas of the King’s palace. He was seated among royalty, well known,
significant and respected in the land because he managed life transforming
information strategically and profitably.
Daniel was more than strategic. Daniel displayed remarkable wisdom in the management of the life transforming information God
gave to him. Though he prayed with his three friends for God to reveal the
hidden dream as well as the interpretation to Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, Daniel
did not reveal the dream alongside its interpretation to any of his three
friends. He did not also share the dream with the chief of the royal guards,
Arioch. Daniel shared the dream with Nebuchadnezzar who mattered and who could
reward him accordingly.
