Daniel 2:48 Then the king promoted Daniel and gave him many great gifts; and he made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief administrator over all the wise men of Babylon. Daniel 2:49 Also Daniel petitioned the king, and he set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego over the affairs of the province of Babylon; but Daniel sat in the gate of the king.
The king Nebuchadnezzar had summoned all the magicians, the conjurers, the sorcerers and the Chaldeans – the wise men, to tell him his dream and its interpretation . If they failed to tell him his dreams and it’s interpretation they were going to be ” torn limb from limb and their houses would be made a rubbish heap “(Dan 2:2-5). However , Daniel saved their lives by not only telling the dream , but also its interpretation ( Da 2:29-45).
Then the king promoted Daniel and he gave him many great gifts. He made him ruler of the great Babylon and the chief administrator over all the Wiseman of Babylon. Once in power, Daniel talked to the king and he appointed Shadrach , Meshach and Abednego over the administration of Babylon. God used Daniel to elevate them to a position of honour.
God elevates/raises us so that we can become destiny helpers and destiny connectors to others. He does not give us promotions, positions, careers, jobs and businesses so that we become the only beneficiaries. He expects us to be a blessing to others . Don’t forget your role of “pulling up others” who God has ordained that they will be assisted through you.
