DIVINE PROMOTION

2 Samuel 2:6-9

“The Lord brings death and makes alive; He brings down to the grave and raises up. The Lord makes poor and makes rich: He brings low, and lifts up. He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; he seats them with princes and has them inherit a throne of honour. For the foundations of the earth are the Lord’s; on them He has set the world. He will keep the feet of his saints and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.”

You can achieve success by merit or by hardwork, but it is sweeter when you achieve success by the favour of God. This month, I want you to adopt the strategy of King David who knew very well that God helps people to succeed.

“For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: he puts down one and sets up another.”- Psalm 75:6-7

My prayer for you is that God shall open door for you where you did not knock, that you will enter into good opportunities from unexpected sources, and that you will reap where you did not sow in Jesus Mighty Name.

There is something called Divine Promotion. God divinely connects. He divinely helps, and He divinely promotes. If you study the Bible carefully, you will discover how hopeless cases are turned into opportunities through the supernatural intervention by God.

Moses is a typical case study. Few months after his birth, he was dumped at the river side by his mother, not because she wished or so desired. But because Pharaoh had issued a decree that all male sons of the Israelites be killed-(Israelites were in captivity in Egypt at this time). However, God caused the daughter of Pharaoh to visit the River Nile around the same time. There she saw baby Moses crying by the river side and she eventually adopted him. Baby Moses who would have died by the river side eventually became the adopted son of a princess. Baby Moses who was crying by the shore of River Nile in one moment started to live in a palace in another moment.

As you hold on to the God of Moses, every hopeless situation in your life shall turn around and you shall move from the valley of life to the mountain top in Jesus name.

What do you say to Joseph who was thrown into a pit, and later sold into slavery? But God intervened and connected him in the land of slavery to an officer of King Pharaoh, when he fell out of favour and was imprisoned. God visited him in the prison and he took him from the prison to the palace.

Joseph is a classic example of how God can turn the greatest adversity in life into promotion. Joseph moved from slavery into prison and from prison into palace. As long as you hold on to the character of Joseph, every situation in your life shall work out for good. God shall turn your demotion to promotion in Jesus name.

What do we say of David who was called from the field where he was looking after sheep and was anointed King over Israel? David was forgotten in the field when Samuel asked his father to present his children. All the seven brothers of David were presented, but David was not remembered. I pray for you today that though the world seems to have forgotten you, but God will remember you and send for you to come and occupy the position He has prepared for you in Jesus name.

All this shows that God is the lifter of men and as you lift up your eyes to that God this month, He will connect you and promote you. And you shall experience divine intervention in your situation in Jesus Mighty Name, amen.

Happy New Month!
