THE GOD OF PROMOTION

ISAIAH 17:1-END

PROVERB 18:1-END

ISAIAH 49:1-END

Promotion can only come from God, but before any promotion humility was in place, because God will always watch his word to decide every case critically. Then what is humility? It is the fruit of the Holy Ghost and God’s standard based on his word. One cannot be humble more than his knowledge and understanding. This is two personality traits that distinguish wisdom which is result oriented. You cannot be better than you have learnt. Ignorant and foolishness is due to lack of information that brings transformation of attitudes. And until there is transformation of attitudes promotion is denied.

PROVERB 18:12

(12)        “Before a crash a man’s heart is lofty

                And before glory there is humility”

Promotion is coming your way not because of your sharpness or too smart but because he watches his words to approve it in your life as his own elect. Humility is not far from the word of God; it does not  come by head knowledge, it is achieved when one is seen as nobody or  nonentity .The mockery and hatred you received from society because of Christ is  what forms the bed rock for your approval and promotion, until you suffer with Christ reigning with him cannot be possible. The same is tied to your promotion in the Kingdom of God. The humiliation and the insult you received from your enemies because of Christ is what announce your popularity to the dying world. The light of your salvation cannot shine brighter until you pass through the furnace of affliction and rejection, hard trials brings out the best in you. Have you been mocked and despised for the sake of Christ? Count it all Joy as Apostle James instructed because that is where your lifting begins. The grace that goes with salvation is derived from your responds to hard trials; it is what attracts the favor of God in the end.

ISAIAH 49:7

(7)          “This is what Jehovah, the repurchase of Israel, his Holy one says

                to the one who is despised, to the one who is detested by the nation

                to the servant of rulers:

                “Kings will see and rise up; And princes will bow down because of

Jehovah, who is faithful; the Holy one of Israel, who has

chosen you.

(8)          This is what Jehovah says in a time of favor I answered you.

                And in a day of salvation I helped you; I kept safeguarding you

                as a covenant for the people. To rehabilitate the land,

(9)          To say to the prisoner come out! And to those in the darkness,

show yourselves! By the roadways they will feed

(10)        They will not go hungry nor will they thirst, nor scorching heat

                or the sun beat down on them for the one who has mercy on them

                And he will guide them, and by spring of water”

When God has decided your case, no power can turn it down without God’s permission except your ignorant. God is out again to promote you to a higher ground as he watches his word accomplished in your life in Jesus name. Amen.
