PROMOTION UNSTOPPABLE!
The most honorable desire to have is to be open and ready to change into the image of Jesus Christ. To become more and more Christlike. That desire and decision has put you in an unstoppable and unbeatable team of God and you!. On a daily basis, we face trying times, difficult situations, overwhelming tests and temptations to rebel, take revenge, be lustful, lie, complain, castigate, curse, fight, be hateful, be proud and arrogant, discriminate and be partial, be selfish, hardhearted and unloving, be stubborn and hard-headed and the list is endless. These choices are available to us because avoiding them and resolving to DO what God says instead, will produce the rewards for obeying God's Word. It has everything to do with how we would handle and respond to them. These situations seem really tempting and they really are, but these seeming stumbling blocks or trials are actually stepping stones IN DISGUISE. The scriptures say that the coming of Jesus Christ would be a blessing or stepping stone to some, but a stumbling block to others. The choice is always ours to make.

Luke.2.34.
Then Simeon blessed them, and he said to Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ. "This child will be rejected by many in Israel, and it will be their undoing and downfall. But he will be the greatest joy, peace, promotion and blessing to many others.

These daily tests and opportunities to OBEY GOD'S WORD for our promotion are not prepared BECAUSE of the people or things or the circumstances used as the tools for such tests, but BECAUSE of us, the OBJECTS of such tests in order to get us PROMOTED. Whoever heard of being promoted in school or at work without some form of tests? Thank God for giving us the Holy Spirit our counselor, helper and companion in us to work us through every test and trial AS WE SEEK HIM IN PRAYER DAILY.

Hebrews 5.7.
While Jesus was here on earth, he offered prayers and pleadings, with a loud cry and tears, to the one who could deliver him out of death. And God heard his prayers because of his reverence for God.

We must keep praying, asking the Holy Spirit to help us identify and pass other tests and trials that would come in various forms such as what we hear, think and say about people, how we respond and treat others, the places we go and who we hang out with and who we listen to and influence us. Now, the simple questions we ask ourselves should be, 'would Jesus Christ say what I'm saying? Would He do what I'm doing? Would Jesus Christ go where I'm going, doing what I'm doing?'
Our answers would determine whether we're ready for DIVINE PROMOTION OR HEADING FOR DEMOTION!

Psalm 1.1-6.
Oh, the joys and blessings of those who do not follow the advice of unbelievers, or hangout under the influence of sinners, or join in with scoffers against the principles and teachings of the Word of God.
But they delight in doing everything the LORD wants; day and night they pray, speak and think about his law and Word.
They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season without fail. Their leaves never wither, and in all they do, they prosper, are promoted and blessed. But this is not true of the wicked or unbelievers. They are like worthless chaff, scattered by the wind. They will be condemned at the time of judgment. Sinners will have no place among the godly.
For the LORD watches over the path of the godly, but the path of the wicked leads to destruction.

The amazing thing about divine promotion is that since it's from God, with whom nothing is impossible, impossible circumstances like COVID-19, lockdown, bankruptcy, shutdown, hurricanes, earthquakes, desert and wilderness conditions or whatever, can't determine, affect or stop the promotion and blessings of God.
Needless to say, if we truly, really want to do and receive healing, deliverance and get to great heights in life when everyone, the news media and even experts are saying all is bleak, dark and doom, then, DO ALL YOU CAN TO IDENTIFY AND PASS DIVINE TESTS by finding out God's Word and promises and His will and endeavor to SAY, OBEY AND DO THEM.

That's why Jesus Christ prayed with tears and loud crying in the garden of Gethsemane, 'NOT MY WILL, BUT YOURS LORD'. With that, God sent angels to strengthen Him in order to die on the cross to save humanity and so God exalted, promoted and elevated Him giving Him a name above every other name, saving the world and becoming the King of kings and Lord of Lords. Read Luke 22:41-44; Philippians 2:1-11.

Philippians 2.9.
Because of this, God raised him up to the heights of heaven and gave him a name that is above every other name,

This message is to inform you that God is with you and loves you very much. And His topmost desire is to see that you work hard on obeying His Word in order to get your promotion and greatly blessed irrespective of your current location, situation and the circumstances surrounding you.

Hallelujah!
