NORMAL
& ASSISTED PROGRESS
Memorise:
He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds: Psalm 78:70; Read:
Genesis 27:1-10, Bible in one year: Genesis 5-7, John 11:28-44
On the scale of progress, after the
state of retardation comes the state of normal promotion. This refers to a
state of progress where growth occurs at a normal rate or at a generally
acceptable pace. A person operating on this level moves step by step and from
stage to stage. In some organisations, it is normal to be promoted from one
level to another once in four or five years. However, the problem with this
kind of promotion is that it is ordinary; there is nothing exceptional about
it. It is at variance with the abundant life Jesus came to give us (John
10:10). Normal promotion is not exactly what God has planned for you as a child
of destiny. It is crowded at this level of progress. In all their lifetime,
some people have never experienced any type of progress beyond the normal. If
you are in this category, the Lord is moving you to something higher this
season in Jesus’ Name. From a crowded school of prophets and teachers in Antioch
Beyond the state of normal promotion is
a state known as assisted promotion. This is experience when someone is personally
interested in your welfare and choose to assist you by taking you to a level
you are not yet due for. The three Hebrew boys Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
experienced this in Daniel 2:49
“Then
Daniel requested of the king, and he set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, over
the affairs of the province
of Babylon
After their friend, Daniel, was made a
great man, they were assisted to the top based on his recommendation. Note
however that this state of progress still requires hard work, as this may even
be the reason why you were considered for elevation in the first place. Another
example of assisted progress can be found in the story of Isaac and his family.
Isaac called his beloved son and firstborn, Esau, and instructed him to go hunt
and prepare him a delicious meal so that he could transfer the generational
blessing to him. As he left to do so, his mother, who overheard her husband’s
instructions, decided to arrest the blessing from Esau and pass it over to Jacob,
her own beloved son. She therefore designed a plot to assist him, and she
schooled him on what to do. In the Name of Jesus, the Lord will raise people to
assist you into a level you were not expected to attain. Human and divine
assistance shall work in your favour this season in Jesus’ Name.
Prayer
Point
Father,
let human and divine assistance relocate me to the top.
