PROMOTION COMETH!
I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn: Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck. For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another. Psalms 75: 4 – 7;
For those who desire promotion, the above scripture is revealing to us the direction to look: ‘for promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another’. It is interesting to know that God is much involved in the business of promoting and demoting people! As the Sole Controller of heaven and earth, it will be foolish for anyone to think that the Almighty God can be ignored in the scheme of things. In fact, in the unfolding of events from time to time in our world, everyone who is wise should recognize that the invisible hands of the Almighty God is somewhere behind the scene intercepting and directing men’s affairs as He wills towards the fulfillment of His purpose and counsel. It is important therefore that we fully recognize God as the source of true promotion in life. It has never been part of God’s intention to create a universe where He will not be relevant!
Promotion could come as a reward for recognition of a person’s outstanding performance, qualifications, dedication or commitment. However in certain circumstances, we have seen people with little or no qualifications being promoted to exalted positions of honour in life at one time or the other. Indeed … ‘the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all’ Ecclesiastes 9:11. God is not answerable to anyone, if He decides to promote a man, whom by all physical standards does not deserve to be promoted, nobody can question or challenge Him! I see the Almighty God giving you promotion that you do not deserve this month in Jesus’ name.
Promotion is sweet and desirable but it does not come without tests and trials! For you to be promoted in life, you must be prepared to pass through tests and trials in one form or the other. The purpose of trials, tests and examinations in life is not to break you but to prepare you for the promotion ahead. If you have never gone through serious trials and tests in life, you are not likely to know how to handle success and promotion when they come your way. So be grateful to God for the hard times you are experiencing now, your promotion is fast approaching!
Sometimes, for someone to be promoted in life, it may be necessary for another person to be demoted or dismissed! When the time came for God to promote Esther, a slave girl in the land of Shushan, incumbent Queen Vashti for whatever reasons, began to misbehave; she blatantly disregarded the orders of King Ahasuerus and eventually lost her position as the Queen to Esther. God usually creates positions at the top for those who fear and trust Him with a humble heart by throwing down those who are arrogant and have no regard for Him. I see God creating vacancy for you at the top and everyone that needs to vacate their position in order for you to be promoted in life will be forced to do so now by God’s divine order in the name of Jesus.
Equally, it is not unusual for God to allow some form of crises to break out in order to promote a particular person. Daniel’s promotion in the kingdom of Babylon would not have come but for the crisis that erupted. King Nebuchadnezzar had a dream which he could neither remember nor get his wise men to discern and interpret. An urgent decree was issued to kill all magicians and wise men in Babylon because of their inability to know or interpret the king’s dream, but in the midst of this chaotic situation, God paved way for the promotion of Daniel; he was promoted to an exalted position in the kingdom of Babylon having discerned and interpreted the king’s dream. Dearly beloved, don’t be afraid or troubled by the present situation of things at your work place, it may be that God is permitting some form of shakings in order to pave way for your promotion and breakthrough.
Finally, it is important to state that those who desire promotion in life should be ready for additional responsibilities. Promotion comes with a lot of benefits, privileges and honour but it lays greater responsibilities on you. As you desire to be promoted in life, prepare your mind for greater tasks and additional responsibilities. Promotion is not for those who are not prepared to do more and show a high sense of responsibility. Dearly beloved, does it appear that you have been forgotten or neglected in your situation? Hear the word of God concerning you ‘Promotion Cometh’. Be prepared; be excited, your promotion is NOW!
Shalom!
