God is about to promote you

Let's laugh to start today. Two brothers were troublemakers. Their mother sought guidance from the preacher. The priest addressed each boy personally, starting with the youngest. "Where is God?" he said, sitting opposite from the youngster. But the boy didn't say anything. "Where is God?" the pastor said, leaning forward. "We're in real trouble this time!" the child raced to his older brother. They think we took God!"

Today's topic is "God is about to promote you." Psalm 75:6-7 is our basis: "Promotion comes neither from the east, west, nor south. But God judges: he puts one down and sets up another."

Joseph's narrative illustrates divine advancement. Joseph's life seemed doomed after his siblings sold him into slavery, wrongly accused, and imprisoned. God worked behind the scenes. Pharaoh promoted Joseph from prison to palace, from slave to governor, because of his dream-interpreting abilities.

Lewis said, "Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny." Remember that God can use your struggles to prepare you for better things.

God chose shepherd kid David to be king. David's father neglected him when Samuel anointed one of Jesse's sons as king. He was tending sheep, preparing for an extraordinary destiny. Protecting his herd from lions and bears. These experiences prepared him to meet Goliath and rule a nation.

David knew God promoted him. Psalm 3:3 says, "But you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high." He trusted God's plan despite hardships.

Remember that God's promotions often arrive unexpectedly. God recognises your ability. His promotions are always timely.

Let's be like Joseph and David and trust God's plan even when things look dismal. Remember that God is preparing us for promotion through our current circumstances.

"Dear Lord, we thank You for Your divine plan for our lives," we pray. We believe You are preparing us for promotion. Help us keep our confidence in You through hardships. Help us along this path. Amen, in Jesus' name."

Brothers and sisters, this is not the end. God is preparing you for a supernatural advancement, like Joseph and David. Trust Him.

Have a good week, hoping that God will advance you. Keep your trust, hope, and God's amazing plans in mind. Bless you!
