It's Time for PROMOTION!


The Scripture says in Psalm 75:6 "that promotion comes from no where else but the Lord & he is the one who sets you up for promotion." To receive & walk in your next level or promotion from God there are postures you must be willing to embrace to accept & move forward in all God has for your new & next season. These postures will assure your promotion from the Lord!

Must be willing to:

1. FOLLOW GOD INTO THE UNKNOWN- God told Abraham in Gen. 12:1 "Get out of this familiar place to a land I will show you" To move into promotion you must be willing to leave the old for the new & navigate into uncharted waters in the Lord. And there He will meet you!

2. SACRIFICE- God called Abraham to sacrifice his greatest treasure, Issac, only to provide him with the needed sacrifice. But we to must be willing to sacrifice our "greatest blessing" of our previous season to partake of our next!

3. ENDURE THE PROCESS OF PRUNING- Jesus said in John 15:2 "Every branch in me that bears fruit I prune that it may bear more fruit" Sometimes God will allow you to go back before you go ahead so you will bear more fruit in your new season!

4. REMAIN CHILDLIKE- Matt. 18:3-4 says "we must become like a little child to inherit the Kingdom of Heaven" Simple trust & obey like a child dependent on thier Father for everything!

5. PRAY & BELIEVE- in 1 Kings 18:41-45 Elijah prepared for what He could not see. We must move forward in faith as it is done!

6. MOVE IN GREATER WISDOM & DISCERNMENT!- James 1:5-6 says "Ask God for wisdom & he will give it" At your new level you must act with a greater sense of God's wisdom!

7. GIVE FEAR NO PLACE- Is. 41:10 tells us "to not fear because He will help, uphold & strengthen us." When moving forward fear cannot be in operation only confidence in the Lord!

These 7 postures if walked in will cause you to walk out your promotion. Be expecting & willing, God is getting ready to promote you! Leave me a comment & let me know what area I can agree with you to get you in your next level.
