THE SURE SOURCE OF PROMOTION – Monday February 6th 2017
Memorise: For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. Psalm 75:6
2 Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and for evermore.
3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the Lord's name is to be praised.
4 The Lord is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like unto the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high,
6 Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!
7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;
8 That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.
9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the Lord.
Bible in one year: Luke 22, Isaiah 31:1-32:8, Hymn: Sing hymn 7
MESSAGE:
The
promotion that comes from God is worth waiting for; never settle for
the promotion of men. Man can promote you today and demote you the next
day. When man promotes you, they will expect something in return, but
when God promotes you, all your sorrows will turn to joy and you will
have absolute peace even in the midst of trouble. God’s promotion
usually shuts the mouth of detractors. Your detractors are those who
boasted that you would never rise in their presence, and those who
threatened that they would use the power of their position to destroy
you, because you have refused to bow to their gods. They are those who,
because of your uncompromising conviction, have said they will never
recommend you for promotion as long as they are on the seat of power.
The sure source of promotion. I have good news for you: by this time
tomorrow, their promotion will be at your mercy in Jesus’ Name. They
will never be able to carry out their mischievous plans against you in
Jesus’ Name. Concerning such people, the word of God in Psalm 21:11 says,
“For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.”
When
God promotes you, you will go from success to success. This is why you
need to make Him your ally. You need to come to Him, and let Him take
over your life. Open Heavens Devotional 2017. The Lord’s decision is
always final. If He decides to promote you, no man can demote you. If He
says this is your season, no accuser can deny you access. If He decides
to bless you, no curse can prevail over you. All you need to do is to
ensure His presence never departs from your life. There is someone
reading this Devotional: by the time God starts with you, the whole
world will be amazed. God promoted Joshua from being a massager to the
position of a commander. When God told him to take over the mantle of
leadership from Moses and lead the children of Israel to the Promised
Land, Joshua thought God was joking. God had to reassure him repeatedly
that as He was with Moses, He would be with Him (Joshua 1:5-9, Joshua 3:7).
Irrespective of how forceful the opposition confronting you is, when
God is promoting you, He will cause you to experience certain blessings
that will make all your enemies crumble. You will be able to do things
you never thought you could do. However, God will not promote a person
who is just folding his hands doing nothing. It is the soul of the
diligent that will be made fat (Proverbs 13:4).
If you are a hardworking person, God will reward you. God does not
bless the lazy. What you sow is what you reap. If you want to soar, you
have to go the extra mile and be a benchmark in the lifestyle of
holiness and excellence.
Prayer Point
Father, let Your presence command blessings into my life.
