Psalm 75:6 “For not from the east nor from the west nor from the south come promotion and lifting”.
Promotion is what every one of us need in life, as a child you are promoted to the higher class, as in our job we are promoted on higher ranks and post, from a small house of one room kitchen to a lavish apartment, tell me who is not in need of promotion, the answer is we all are.
My question to the reader, reading this blog in your life how many times are you promoted? Or to what intensity has your lifting has come? Are you struggling to in this area of promotion or accepting it as a fate of your life and compromising with little what you have.
The Psalmist says, in the above scripture that promotion neither comes from the east, west or south so where does it comes from? Logically, then it must come from north which is above you and that is from heaven. If the Lord does not promote you, then who else can. Before you are promoted on earth, your promotion letter needs to be granted and approved from Heaven. We are very much determined to be blessed in the physical without knowing or understanding that have we found favour in the eyes of God.
Luke 2:52 “And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.”
If Jesus on His earthly mission increased in wisdom (Godly) and stature first with God and then with man, so should be with us, if we are not favoured before God, we can never be favoured before men and that’s the reason many Christians are stranded in life and not been able to move forward. You are seeking promotion on earth but what about being promoted in spirit?
Why Christians are not successful businessmen and women. The reason is not education or intellectuality but favour of God. Years back around 1998 – 2001, I always wanted to work at sea and I even got a job and worked for sometime but was never satisfied and never promoted because it was never the will of God for me, which I understood in later years when I matured in the spirit.
We are children of God and have to come to the knowledge of God that what are we called for? The world may attempt many things and even succeed but when it comes to you, there comes struggle, frustration, irritation, etc., your colleague at your work place who has joined the same company with you or after you receives, hike in salary and even promotion but your boss can never see anything good in you, though you are more sincere, hard working and even a person of integrity. What can be the reason for this? Will learn it in the next blog the obstacles and hindrances for your promotion.
Prayer:- Father, in the name of Jesus, I humble myself at your feet and ask you to forgive me for my mistakes and stubbornness which has delayed blessings in my life. Guide me O Lord, and help me to understand Your will for me. May I never walk in my own ways and falter. Give me today my daily revelation and speak to me how shall I go about in life in Jesus name I pray, Amen.
