DIVINE PROMOTION – Sunday April 5th
2015
Memorise: 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. Psalm 75:6-7
Read: Psalm 105:16-22, Bible in one
year: Zechariah 5:5-8:23, Matthew 14:13-36
Many people work hard and have nothing
to show for it, while some others work, very little and succeed. When God is on
your side, you will succeed. In Genesis 39:1-5, the Bible tells us about the
experience of Joseph in Potiphar’s house: whatever he touched prospered because
God was with him. If God is with you, no matter where you are operating or what
you are doing, you will always succeed. Our God is good and gracious. He does
many things to prove His divine power, and no one can question His decisions.
This is why He is the sovereign God. It doesn’t matter how deep the valley you
are in is, if God says He is going to do a new thing in your life, He can pick
you up from that valley and set you on top. He can pick you up from that valley
and set you on top. He can take you from absolute darkness to light (John
9:1-7).
Never write yourself off in life. There
is a silver lining in the cloud of your destiny. The good things of life can
still come to you no matter what your present situation is. Learn on the
everlasting arms of God and you will never be disappointed. No matter the
opposition of the enemies, the plan and purpose of God will come to pass.
Nobody can abase the one whom God has decided to promote. God can make you grow
daily in knowledge, understanding and in wisdom. Daniel’s promotion took the
form of a meteoric rise to stardom. He was able to make progress in a strange
land and the Lord blessed the labour of his hands. Throughout Daniel’s life, he
moved from one level of promotion to the other. He was so relevant in the
scheme of things that he served under several different governments, and under
every dispensation, he was always a point of reference.
One key lesson that stands out clearly
in the life of Daniel is seen in the decision he made unto the Lord (Daniel
1:8). His action shows us that men who have strong convictions, unalloyed
loyalty and real dedication to the Almighty are able to achieve exploits. The
will of God stands out clearly in the lives of those who desire exploits. Your
heart must be fixed upon the Lord and on doing His will at all times, wherever
you find yourself. Divine promotion will not come to those who want to use it
for self-aggrandizement. You must be willing to use every promotion God brings
you way for His glory. Once your motives align with God’s purpose, you will
always be blessed and promoted by Him. The righteous stand of Daniel moved God
to promote him divinely. You can also become great of you stay close to the
Almighty, who is the source of all true greatness.
Action Point
Align your motives with God’s will
